I don't really care myself (actually I find some of the Christian rock stuff kind of interesting) but I just find it slightly inappropriate that in the context of these festivals and what-not, prefixing the word "concert" with the word "Christian" is done deliberately as a mechanism of exclusion. It's a not-so-subtle way of saying "if you're not one of us, don't bother showing up".

All I'm saying is it'd be interesting to see the reactions from people if someone organized a "atheist rock festival". Kinda' like it'd be interesting to see the reactions from people organizing a "straight pride parade".

That's all. Not looking to start a war, just some food for thought. . .

That's a pretty silly comment. If you WEREN'T a Christian, and decided to go to a "concert", only to find that it was actually a christian concert, you'd probably be pissed. Hell, I don't really care for christian music, I'd be pissed. It's a genre of music, just like rap, country, and jazz. If you want to be technical, MOST music is agnostic/atheist/whatever. Though I have to say, I'd love to see that straight pride parade.
