Really?
Kent Hovind and Christian music? I feel for you, I really do.
Music was such an important part of my life before I became a believer. My dad was a professional musician when I was growing up and briefly I was as well. When I first became a believer I had the nonsensical notion that I should give all of that up and I stopped listening to music. But then I would hear someone play some old Pink Floyd stuff in the neighborhood and I would get such a feeling of emptiness. I started listening to smooth Jazz because I assumed it was safe and I got used to that. It gave me comfort, it relaxed me. Then I realized that there was nothing wrong with the music I had loved before so I started listening to that again. Classic rock for the most part. And it just annoyed me. 40 - 60 year old millionaires with teen aged angst seemed really stupid to me.
Music is spiritual and it has a subtle but powerful influence over people. But it is kind of all about what you are used to. I can't stand Christian music, even when it comes in the disguise of tattooed biker surfer christian teen aged angst. Nobody buys albums anymore anyway. Nowadays I can listen to anything, including Christian artists like Dave Mustaine of Megadeth or Alice Cooper as well as any other artists. Marilyn Manson, Bad Religion etc.
Pay attention to the Bible and maybe find someone to teach you it's true meaning without the religiosity and you are far less likely to be confused and uncertain and lacking confidence, no matter if you conclude by deciding an atheist or theist position.
