"Rocking for God" would've made me uncomfortable even when I was religious, I think. Christian music has always been a little too... gung ho for me. "Taken over by the spirit" kind of squicks me too, but that's probably more of an "I don't want to lose control" issue for me.
What bugs me the most though -- and this is very un-Christian of me -- are the people who grew up hating church and never going, who all of a sudden wear crosses and carry around bibles and act as if they know everything there is to know about being a Catholic. Oh yes. Andre's sister is doing this too and it really bothers me- she's done everything she can in the past to make her family's life miserable, and now all of a sudden she's a good Christian just because she goes on a retreat and wears an "abortion is murder" bracelet? Katelyn doesn't bother me as much, I guess just because I don't know as much about things she's done in the past- she's asked me to come to Christian Fellowship and I'm going to go this Friday, because it'd be impolite of me not to. But I'm not going to keep on going. I honestly prefer being in a mixed faith group. Maybe because people try harder to be inclusive and consider other points of view, maybe for the diversity of opinion- I'm not sure, it's just that much more comfortable for me.
