That does not mean all secular music is bad but clearly we just identified the music of this group as more than just nice secular music to listen to but one that promotes a certain un-Christian lifestyle.

If you want to listen to it that is one thing, but I find it hard to accept that some would try to justify that this is music only a strong Christian would listen to...that is just absurd. I have a hard time imagining that a strong Paul or Peter would just sit and listen to this and run out and buy their CDs so they can keep listening...all in the name of being a Strong Christian, not because the music edifies their spiritual selves, rather it feeds the carnal self

Who said this? I said that a strong Christian can listen to whatever they want to, it is their choice. That choice might not be the right one for them though. Listening to the music has nothing to do with being a strong christian. Most strong christians (by your assestment of what a strong christian is) won't listen to this and won't like it. I consider myself a strong christian, but I know people more hard core than I that would be considered liberal in some circles. I was not and will not make any equivocation that listening to this music is for a strong christians only or anything. Think you might have missunderstood what I was trying to say. Someone that is a strong christian by mosts standards won't even touch this. FYI I am not calling anyone a strong or weak christian if they listen or not.

For those of you that don't 'understand' what I am trying to say is that the music is awesome, IMO. I listen to it. Not everyone has to or needs to. For those of you that don't know me I am the same dude before listening to the music as I am after. Maybe you all think that I am a super spiritual person. I am not. I go to church and worship God. But I am in no way a person that is worthy of leadership or whatever.
