Thanks guys, I'm humbled by the responses. And knight777...hilarious indeed! Maybe the back of the new t-shirt design! (just kidding)

Wait wait, why kidding?! It'd be perfect for a shirt print...

I think the language might have something to do with it. While some would enjoy it, I am sure that most would take offense. I definitely like the shirt idea, but I know people looking down upon Christians for not looking the part. I know this is looking into it wayyy too much, but I thought I would share a story. Keving Young, the lead singer of Disciple, was apparently walking around town and a street preacher stopped and asked him if he knew Christ. Kevin said that he did, and the preacher said how can you know Jesus if you look and smell of this world (he has tattoos and I am sure was wearing a band t-shirt)? Kevin then looked at him and replied that he looked like every other crooked person on wallstreet (because he was decked out in a suit). So, just what Christians need, another reason to be looked down upon...

Act 4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

Joh 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

What else is there to sing about?

Your story illustrates a self-defeating point. Appearances mean little to nothing, because no matter what "appearance" you take, you're going to end up looking crooked to someone. Many arguments can be made in the name of "appearances," but ultimately, they're all Christian-enslaving and not Christ-exalting.

Hello there.

I have to admit, I am an atheist.
Who cares?
I wanted to thank you for the... I guess I should call it music, because I don't know a word that is good enough.
I'm usually into heavier music, I listen mostly to gothic bands like Crematory and such. But I admit I simply love Theocracy. I have the first album short after it was released and never got bored with it. I haven't listened to anything from the second one (I read about a song on myspace somewhere) because I know I will want it so much. And, no offence, but you aren't very good with release frequency

Thank you once again for the wonderful thing you create. Be blessed.
