Religion is a tricky and often heated topic, especially when it comes to forums and comments.

I've attended Mars Hill a number of times, and they're a pretty liberal, or at least youthful minded church, which may or may not be saying much. Yes, they have some good sermons, but no, I certainly don't agree with some of their stances.

I go to Mars Hill because it's a good blend of a powerful preacher, some hipster appeal, and decently executed praise music (still not a consumer of the stuff). Just because I attend the church doesn't mean I don't make a cognitive choice to disagree. Not all churches fit Christian stereotypes, and neither does Christian individuals.

Unfortunately we're talking about Mars Hill as an entity and not its congregation, and since it finds itself in fairly "conservative" waters from time to time, it's going to be the church as an entity that takes the blame... which in this case is legitimate.

Religious or party affiliations aside, it's cool to see Everclear playing. And isn't what this site is all about? Music?

The one concrete gripe I do have against the band is their pseudo cover of "Brown Eyed Girl".
