bout 3 weeks ago I was watching Ten Most Wanted (tv show on Angel One channel that shows christian music videos) and Eisley's "telescope eyes" video was #1. I didn't know that Eisley was christian because I just became a fan about a month ago. But I totally think its awesome that they are at the head of the charts of christian music. Actually I love the fact that they are christian in the 1st place! Rock on Eisley!

eisley are CHRISTIANS.
not a christian band.

they have christian beliefs.
the music does not portray these beliefs.

they are two different things.

ok? Very Happy

Actually, if you truly follow Jesus Christ, then every aspect of your life reflects His love.

not to start an argument....but i'm not sure about that remark. surely if that were so, then a heck of a lot of bands would be classed as christian bands.

Eisley however, are just talented people who believe in that train of thought.

Actually I agree..I didn't look as close as I should have at
"the music does not portray these beliefs".
Good call. Smile

Hmm. I don't know. It is definitely a hard line to draw..It doesn't really bother me either way.

However, it cannot be said that their music obviously or must portray those beliefs. That is the difference.

me either.
although calling eisley a christian band does a bit, because i feel there are some boundaries upon 'christian bands.'
for example, if i were to be told of a 'christian band,' i probably wouldn't really be all that interested, as i am not christian or anything.
anyway...thats just me. no offence to anyone. Very Happy

Even if I were Christian, it is unlikely that I would listen to much Christian music, since most of it is of such poor quality. That's just my opinion.

That's just my opinion.

Plus, if all I want to listen to is someone telling me my beliefs are right, well that sounds like phony ego stroking. I'd rather be challenged. The human experience shouldn't be so shallow.

WOW!

That is the best review I've ever read! It was accurate, succint, praising, and surprisingly open-minded. Kudos. Thanks for bringing that to our attention.
