I spent one decade submerged into a subculture which I didn’t even realize existed at the time. As I found myself escaping the subculture, I realized I was living life only in the “Christian subculture“. Now, after spending a decade on the outside of the “Christian subculture“, I don’t consider myself bitter about the “Christian subculture” but alarmed about it!

I recently found myself embarrassed to call myself a “Christian“. It was brought to my attention how annoying, high maintenance, self-indulged and super spiritual someone appeared.
I’m not in the same “camp” as that person. They talk about being a Christian and use “Christianese” in almost every sentence.

While visiting a church recently, a severely obese pastor delivered a sermon.

Some time ago I wrote a piece entitled Who Says What’s Christian Music? in which I briefly examined the sad fact that the actual content of music has little to nothing to do with what is actually classified as “Christian†and “secular†music. Artists like Sufjan Stevens openly express their faith with artistic excellence but won’t be purchased in your local Christian bookstore because they dont play the marketing game. Meanwhile, Phillips, Craig and Dean, who openly deny the orthodox view of the Trinity are in every “Christian†bookstore because they do play the marketing game. Marketing rather than content determines what you can buy and where you can buy it.
