Does Christian music offend you? (lyrics, rock, genre, albums)

Disliking a band simply because of their religious beliefs (or lack thereof) is fairly closed-minded, IMO.

However, as with any simple, easily-attained inspiration (see --> love), this catalyst inspires many people who should not be making music to do so; hence the markets being flooded with bad Christian Rock bands. Personally, it annoys me when the lyrics to a Christian song are so superficial that the song's origins are completely transparent, but then again, I would get annoyed over any old song that did that.

A Christian song, in my opinion, could be just as listenable, brilliant, or carefully-constructed as a non-Christian one. The artist, not the theme, is almost always the deciding factor for me.
