And for all the Skillet fans out there, this band is AWESOME! They do relay the gospel through their music. You just gotta listen in more closely than just hearing the beat and the melodies.
Niky9965
Yes they do!!!
Axel Creed
+Andrew Kinney heck yeah brother (not really related)

which is how it should be. When you are blatant and forced with the message you alienate listeners. For example, I am atheist and I listen to Skillet religiously. (ironic as it is)
besides from both business and religious standpoints subtlety is by far the best way to go. After all, whats going to spread easier turning people off with forced religious context? Or a widely branching net able to appeal to everyone.
Andrew Kinney
Don't worry, I do not discriminate religion or faith of any kind. This was never my intent to be blatant about anything. And you're right, becoming all things to all people (a widely branching net able to appeal to everyone). I'm just trained to pick up lines that refer to scripture because I am a Christian. Other than that, I was just expressing my excitement for this band because I love their music. Nothing more, nothing less than that. If I have offended anyone without realizing it, then I apologize.
That's awesome! Skillet is an awesome band to listen to.
Andrew Kinney
I trust you have a great night and a great day tomorrow! Yui Shishido

I'm an agnostic, I cling onto facts but songs like these... they need inspiration, faith and love. It gives me hope to think there might be a silent guardian out there watching over us.

@Harry Price yeah dude, not to be disrespectful or anything but let people believe in whatever they want, im agnostic too

@Luis Valdes - I'm not forcing anyone to do anything. :) Everyone always has a choice.
