I feel like i am being sucked back into religion. I was just counting my CD's and i have 186 Christian albums and only 89 non-Christian albums. Any advice will be most welcome!
I don't understand why music would make you want to become religious? All I listen to are my favourite bands that also happen to be Christian, because as a former Christian I limited myself to Christian artists.
Music can make you feel a certain way and even inspire you to do something in some way. When I used to be a Christian, the lyrics would obviously resonate with my faith and I would be encouraged to 'march on' and go about bringing heaven to earth. Now the same lyrics motivate me to pursue my dreams and to believe in myself. Not once has this music made me want to become a Christian again though. I don't see why it should.
