Christian Guitar Hero???? I thought it was a joke too. But here is the email that Jack (He's Back) sent me"
http://www.christianguitarherogame.com/index.html Look at the banner graphic on the page – I think the female looks like a real Christian, with her bustier, fishnet, g-string and her Warlock guitar knockoff … the guy with his biker grimace, leather jacket and air-humping his Les Paul looks like he could be a pastor …
Here's a link to the product I saw on display; you have GOT to read the comments from purchasers: http://store.digitalpraise.com/guitarpraise-2.aspx
… it would really be cool if you made expansion packs of a band, Like Guitar Hero has Aerosmith, I would totally pay top dollar for a THIRD DAY expansion pack. Consuming Fire has an awesome guitar intro that I would love to play to. another thing that would really be great is being able to play online so that you can worship and praise God with other in cyber!
Thanks for givin' the devil a BIG BLACK EYE!!! Very cool I was excited to see some of the older christian bands like White Cross, Petra and Bride … I would put these christian bands up against any that the "world" has to offer… they would blow them away!!! If you havn't heard some of these guys just look em' up on the web… I believe that God has the best musicians for himself.
I'm so glad that me and my little ones can finally rock out totally awesome-style with the praise of God in our hearts. None of that Satanic meaningless dribble like in those secular Guitar "Hero"(I put that in quotations because Jesus is the only hero…ever). My kids have been begging me for one of those Rock Band games but I told them"Unless a song is about praise and worship of our lord, I don't it in my house" Because as everyone knows, if a song isn't about God or Jesus, it's about worshiping Satan. My son tried to argue that a lot of secular songs are about personal feelings or deep thought and thats when I knew I'd have to set him straight. Now that he got his hands on Guitar Praise he can totally rock out without sinning.
I would like to think that this site and those comments are a parody of some kind (I love a good parody) but something about them rings true. THANKS FOR GIVING THE DEVIL A BIG BLACK EYE? Satan has got to be pissed right now…sitting at home…in hell…with a frozen steak over his recently blacked eye…or he's laughing at how stupid many Christians are…in fact he's laughing at how he tricked them into thinking that he was the one with they black eye when clearly these comments do nothing but damage the good name of Jesus.
On a side note, I have never played Guitar Hero…but the thought of rocking out to some Petra Praise sounds great right now…"Somebody's gonna praise his name…somebody's gonna call Him Lord…it will either be you and me…or it's gonna be a rock or a tree…"
I totaly just rocked that.,,,,(for Jesus of course).

This is yet another proof that American evangelical culture has been taken over by corporatists who make money by turning as many of us as possible into consumatrons and village idiots. But hard times are coming, and are in fact here, and hard times will force many who call themselves Christian to grow up. Maybe some of us will remember what praise and worship are really about when most of us can no longer afford toys such as “Guitar Praise.”
No Stairway? Denied.
The bookstore also had a rack of Christian greeting cards with quotations from Joyce Meyer … see http://store.dayspring-store.com/enjome12boca.html
I looked for, but did not find a card with Joyce’s quote: “If my ministry is feeding you, then you owe me your tithe” … (she said that during a conference at an AOG church in Rockford, IL several years ago – Karen and I were in the audience – and promptly left after that … )
It’s been years since I was last in a ‘Christian book store’, so I was really taken aback by the ways in which the church is imitating the world’s commercialism …
The one thing I found encouraging is that while snapping this pic ( http://www.vjam.net/temp/guitarpraisedisplay.jpg ) a guy walked by the display and joked to his wife about the ‘Guitar Praise’ game …
I Thought The “About Us” Page On http://www.christianguitarherogame.com Was Pretty Good.
