I found a couple sites that seemed to just hurt to read- some Christians want to bash the "Jesus is my Boyfriend" phase.. CCM... etc. I think to often we judge how God works in other people's lives. How are we ever going to achieve unity when we appear to the world to attack the worship, music, new Christian fad that personally isn't right for us... all I'm saying is agree or disagree, but keep it all as a personal conviction-- or else we'll discourage our fellow Christans and push the lost further away.

Unity is not undermined by different people having different preferences for things like music. My main reason for not liking "Jesus is my boyfriend" music is that, for many people, it does push them farther away. If Christianity is about being a teenage girl with a crush on Jesus, I don't want to be a part of it, and I don't blame anyone else for preferring SportsCenter to that kind of religion (not that you have to choose between SportsCenter and Christianity...=) Well, I’m not bashing people, but rather music products that I perceive to be inferior and misdirected.
