 I totally agree with you-and their music has inspired me when nothing else was there for me. Just to clarify I was agreeing that Creed doesn't "preach" (from a pulpit). I am sorry if there was a misinterpretation. The song that totally captivated me at first was (Wash Away Those Years) It let me know that there was someone out there who understood perfectly how I feel. It along with all of Creed's other songs help me to hold on everyday.

Just to clarify I am a christian myself. I was refering to the preaching as
if from a church pulpit. Preaching also has an agenda to sway someone to
your point of view. I belive their lyrics are very insightful and inspire
deep thinking on the part of the listener. I do not see an agenda in any of
Creed's lyrics, but rather a inspiring one to question. Biblical imagery can
be taken many different ways depending on your background and beliefs.
Scott's lyrics have had a very special place in my life for many reasons,
including a life line when suicide was a serious option.
