[kj] OT: Are we still talking about Evanescence here?

Alex, do you not see your own hypocrisy? You and many others on the 
Gathering have blasted Peter for his statements about the "sword of Islam" 
and then you turn around and paint all Xian musician's art as moot simply 
because of their religious beliefs? Bruce Cockburn is a Xian is his body of 
work moot? What about Dylan? What about any number of classical 
composers?  And what about reggae? Is it all moot because of their 
religious beliefs? After all a great deal of reggae is overtly religious in 
it's lyrical content. Does Cat Stevens automatically suck because of his 
allegiance to Allah? Do Live automatically suck because of the Buddhist 
slant? When are you and the other members of this list going to see that 
you're as prejudiced and hateful as the people you condemn? BTW I'm no fan 
of Evanescence either.
