To me, I'm just saying I think we should just choose our battles carefully. There are just bigger thinks to put our energy into.
I don't really like J-rockers image ether, but I don't see the good that comes from stabbing eachother over it.
I will say no more.
Something seems to be very wrong here...

Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Okay, you guys well it is well and true that we should love people not judge them, I've noticed that the admins and mods on here seem to make it a POINT to make this a safe haven for Christians. I've seen many threads closed that I thought you guys were overreacting on.
I'm with Shao in that I was shocked to see you guys pushing the evelope like that. Even though I always make fun on J-rock, I don't really have anything against it. Its okay for you guys to like it, and allow discusssion of it on these boards, but I think there's a line you guys can cross. Just becasue you like something, doesn't make everything about it right.
That's just my opinion... I'm sorry if I offended anyone. Rock out guys.

People on here bash alot of things I like. And I'm sorry, really, I never mean it as bashing, I mean it as teasing. I'll stop doing it if you take it that way.

I think we need to step away from this thread, take a deep breath, let it out and just let this thread die.
We are brothers and sisters of christ and we are frighting over something like this. This is just sad and even I have been on a down feeling about faith not to long ago, but we are here to work together and not fight and bash each other.

All right guys, enough, enough enough. Thread closed.
BOOSTER: Hey, No.1! Where's my cake?!
SNIFIT 1: Booster, Sir! There's a 70% chance the object you're standing on is a cake.
BOOSTER: What? THIS thing's a cake?
You have the power to say anything you want, so why not say something positive?

(in response to an interview question "Do you have a pet peeve having to do with this biz?")
People who write below their abilities in order to crank out tons of books and make a buck. Especially Christian authors who do that. Outsiders judge us for it, and make fun of us for it, and it makes Jesus look bad. We of all artists on earth should be the most concerned with doing our best possible work at all times. We of all people should write with all our hearts, as if writing for the Lord and not for men.
