I Kissed a Girl - Katy Perry
Here is a link to an article about Katy's religious parents and what they think about this song. Let me guess...they forced her to go to church every time the doors were open and made her sing in church...thus she rebelled. Gee I wonder why? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1046018/Shameful-disgusting-The-No1-song-sparked-outrage--singers-parents.html

I met Katy before she "rebelled". She used to be a Christian musician named Katy Hudson. in fact I still have her album around somewhere. Actually had some good songs on it. She came into Jesus Chapel, where I used to work, one day when she was on tour here. Crazy how it all works out. Unfortunately she is not the only one who has felt the "burden" of Christianity and left. One of my favorite artists from the 90's Pete Stewart had a similar experience. after being the lead singer for Grammatrain, producing a few solo albums and working as a guitarist for Tait, he became disillusioned with it all and has turned 180 degrees around.
Grammatrain is awesome! The singer of GS Megaphone seems to have done the same...They all split after pressure was apparently put on them to conform to CCM standards (At least that's my understanding)
People have taken the Truth of Christ and made it into a set of rules. Many pastors distort the truth by taking scripture WAY out of context to suit their own agenda (and sometimes personal predudices) and they drive people away. I've been in those sermons...and every time I've wanted to leave...
