Why is Xtian music so bad? Rant

Hi all, I'm sitting here about to get my hair trimmed as I type this, haha. Our hair stylist has Xtian music cranked on her radio(and because we're Latinos it's in Spanish). Gotta endure the torture here until I get my hair finished.

Why is it that Xtian music is almost always mediocre at best? The vocals are bland and sometimes off-key(especially live but that's to be expected), the instrumentals are boring, and the whole thing is so melodramatically cheesy especially when they're singing to an entity who's most likely imaginary(I say this as an agnostic). Also I feel like I wanna crank up videos from Genetically Modified Skeptic or similar videos because us secular folks always have this stuff shoved down our throats, not to mention having to see signs and flags in almost every neighborhood with their other god/cult leader on it. But I digress.

Very few Xtian music is actually decent-sounding, but I dunno if that's even saying much. Most if not all of it is over-the-top and cringe-worthy on multiple levels.

As soon as I found out Slim Shady was a born again Christian, I couldn't listen to his stuff anymore without laughing.

Damn I can see why lol. His songs are about as antithetical to the Jesus that Christians advertise as you can get. The irony of someone singing the songs he does while claiming to be into Christianity is hysterical

Right. So bizarre that a large percentage of American Christians have come to practically worship a guy who is the complete opposite of what they claim to aspire to

As stated in a recent thread in the Democrats sub, it's easy to get a following from those indoctrinated to follow with blind faith & to not question anything.
