From a recent Creedlist message, which somehow I was so fortunate as to
receive several times:

"Hey, here's an idea:  how about "love to all" because it's the right
thing to do and not because some pot-smoking, alcohol-drinking rock star

said it?"

I believe it is VILE to come to a band's own website purely for the
purpose of disparaging them.  I can understand a fan having a problem
with this or that and perhaps wanting to offer "constructive criticism",
but Creed attracts more than their share of nothing but pure HATE.

There was only one human being who ever lived who was IMMACULATE Himself
and therefore QUALIFIED to pass judgement on others in such a "bullet in
the head" way, and yet He DECLINED to do so, "Ye judge after the flesh.
I judge no man." John 8:15.

And when His "followers" attempted to pass judgement on others, He
responded, EXCUSE ME?  You are certainly not following ME when you
behave that way!  (A person who speaks in terms of "what is right" is
actually claiming to "follow Christ" whether they mention His name or
not.)  "Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of..." Luke 9:55-56.

The "spirit" Christ refers to there that animates such behavior is that
of Satan/antichrist himself, who comes "but" to "kill, steal and
destroy."  Pure malicious criticism of another always says more about
the person expressing it than about the object of it.

Of course Stapp is human like the rest of us, but the vision he holds up
in Creed is superhuman.  And worthy of praise.  And all the flack he
catches just adds to his worth, imo.

These words I don't just say, unlike those that hide the truth, I tell
it like it is.
