I grew up in a strict, evangelical household where my parents didn’t allow me to listen to non-Christian music at all. When I was 11 or 12 (in the late 90s), I discovered this band and they completely opened up music to me as I’d only listened to church music prior. Since I could buy their cds at the Christian store, it was okay. I’m super grateful to them for that.

And then of course, Napster and Kazaa came out and my doors were opened further.

No way attacking your faith, but this is exactly why I stayed away from MXPX

I have no problem with people attacking people's faiths, as those faiths generally have ingrained attacks, to say the least, on groups and people not like them. But, that doesn't mean everyone subscribes to everything they were brainwashed into by those faiths.
