I think this gets into the grey area of secular songs. If a person's not a
Christian, their lyrics will by nature be unchristian (that can be argued,
but I mean from intent, not interpretation). I remember XTC's Dear God,
watching the video and being shocked in my little high school Christian
mind. Now I look at it and guess whoever wrote the song probably had reason
to and wrote it very sincerely.
This is why I don't listen to secular music, for what it's worth. The line
gets too blurred on what is okay vs. anti-christian, nuetral or non, etc.
Granted most secular is alot better musically than most Christian stuff out
there, so I just keep to my Christian music knowing ignorance is bliss.
