Since I found this so interesting, I dug around their website looking for things of interest. I found this: www.bju.edu/become-a-student/accepted-students/expectations/residence.phpWhy are they not allowed to listen to contemporary Christian music? Because it promotes dancing or something? Do they realize that classical music can promote dancing too? Hasn't anyone heard of the WALTZ??? I dance around to classical all the time! Guess I'm going to hell. |

Be sure to take your instrument (violin?) and we can do a duet...J.S. Bach will probably be there, too, since he was writing the "contemporary Christian" music of his time. Scarey to think I actually considered going there (BJU, not hell) at one time. |

Some ultra conservative Christians have a thing against rock music in general, and think it's of Satan regardless of the lyrics. Hell's Bells, ya' know. A piece of "evidence" I once heard includes the fact that listening to rock music can raise your metabolism. Because, you know, high metabolisms are evil. When I heard that, I was 13 and starting to go through the chubby phase of puberty (which, unfortunately, I have not outgrown, haha), and thought, "Yes! The Music Diet!" That sermon did not have the intended effect on me . . . |
