I'm with you on that Tara. You wouldn't believe the things people have called
me because of my personal beliefs and I don't force it on anyone for that
reason.


Actually, Creed released their first CD independently, on their own label...
I've never heard of them releasing any other CD.  So far as I've heard,
there's Blue Collar, and then MOP and HC with Wind-Up... what's the name of
the one you're referring to?
I said that Christian bands "allegedly" have an agenda... I try not to make
generalizations, because in my opinon there's usually an exception to every
rule.
My problem with Christianity, however, is that so many Christians seem to
think it their purpose in life to convert everyone else.  I don't force my
ideas on other people; rather, I offer my opinions and let other people make
their own decisions, and I wish that some of the Christians I've come across
would have the same respect for me.  When someone tells me that I'm going to
hell because I don't have the same beliefs as them, I find it quite rude.
From the sound of it, you're the type of person who offers your beliefs to
others, but doesn't force it... and I respect that.
I guess the Creed question, is just a matter of not liking to be labeled
something they don't consider themselves to be, and I can't blame them for
that.  It's happened to me before, and whether the label I'm given is a
positive or a negative one, I don't like it either way.
