Christian Chaff
Imitation: The Sincerest Form of Battery
by Tim Lien
Since Rock and Roll is clearly responsible for musical atrocities such as Milli Vanilli, N*Sync, and the Jonas Brothers, cautious and pious Christians everywhere declined to pick up the proverbial axe when Guitar Hero I came to video-game console systems. They sniffed at the temptation of Guitar Hero II. They refused Guitar Hero III. And they despised the organized, collective sin of Rock Band (PS3, X360: “in stores now!”) But now, finally, now Guitar Praise has come along.
In all it’s wonder, here:
Cherub-like, nimble fingers everywhere are clamoring to perform: Jesus style. Guitar Praise: “Because Sometimes People Just Have to See How Good You Are”

I like the “Join a Christian Band” on the cover there. This seems eerily (dangerously?) similar to the South Park episode on starting a Christian rock band (which I don’t officially recommend, but thoroughly enjoyed).
I, on the other hand, am a conservative evangelical and want to rock, but would be more inclined to try my hand at AC/DC’s “For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)” than, say “Something Beautiful” by the Newsboys. Maybe I’m just a cynic, or maybe I’m not a conservative evangelical after all.
hey what a great game to play at jesus camp
