Not just government but now the corporate world ... I saw a news report that chilled my spine about the rise in popularity of Christian rock, the fastest growing segment of the pop market and now 7% of all record sales. That's OK, I don't have a problem with that at all (and even though I'm not a subscriber, there's a Jars Of Clay song that I really dig, "Five Candles"). But now, corporations like Chevrolet/GM are taking notice and sponsoring huge Christian rock tours, complete with worship service, in order to attract customers. And it's working; fans of the sponsored bands are flocking into Chevrolet dealerships to buy cars. "One corporation, under God, with liberty and justice for none." -Fred
