Bill O Still Thinks Hip-Hop is Responsible for Decline in Christianity

“The rap industry, for example, often glorifies depraved behavior, and that sinks into the minds of some young people—the group that is most likely to reject religion,” he said, adding, “Also, many movies and TV shows promote non-traditional values. If you are a person of faith, then the media generally thinks you are a loon.”

In 1966, famed evangelist Billy Graham bemoaned the decline of Christianity amongst the youth of America and England and believed that the embrace of the relative hedonism of rock music was the result of young people seeking something that they no longer associated with faith.

 

 Contrary to what O’Reilly seems to believe, hip-hop has actually been one of the most unapologetically religious genres of popular music over the past 35 years. Run-D.M.C.’s “Down With the King”—a group fronted by a minister, Rev. Run—was pretty blatant in its religious overtones. 2Pac’s songs, from “Lord Knows” to “Blasphemy,” were full of Christian imagery

 

 There are countless examples of pop, rock, country, R&B, and hip-hop embracing faith and religion on various levels.

O'Reilly.. not too bright.

I'm sure the next mass shooting in America will be because of violent video games again. And they'll ignore the fact that Japan has the most violent movies, video games, and anime on the planet and their murder rate is easily the top 10 lowest on the planet.
