I agree with the observation that there is really little difference between "Christian" and "non-" music save the object of the affection.

I DO have to say that I, on occasion, listen to the local Christian station [plug warning], M88. My wife listens much than I do. I like some of the music. In general, it because it's more positive and/or happy than most of what's on the radio otherwise. At least the stuff of which I can actually understand the lyrics. I chose my music likes/dislikes much the same way I chose what I watch on TV or in the movies -- I chose stuff that kinda removes me from reality. I hate dramas, cuz life IS a drama and I wanna escape once in awhile.

I find it hilarious, however, how many of the "Christian" artists sound almost identical to "contempory" artists. Sometimes they're indistinguishable, and I forget which station I'm listening to until the top of the hour station ID.
