Re: Atheist Petra Fans

As an atheist I believe morals come down to the individual. There is no way everybody would agree on a set. The topics can range from murder to drinking caffeine being drug abuse so really how do you set a standard? Please don't say the Bible because it's all over the place in terms of this. For me,...

Re: Atheist Petra Fans

Well I'm also an Atheist Petra fan - so I guess there's at least 2 ;p Hartman has penned some of the best riffs I've ever heard. Honestly if I only listened to stuff I agreed with I wouldn't listen to much (or learn much either) - and I respect the bands honesty and sticking to their guns in-spite ...

Re: Atheist Petra Fans

Dawkins was just the beginning but it certainly was the game changer for me. More biology than anything else actually. I ended up reading all of those guys. Hitchens, Harris, I'm sure you know the list.

Re: Atheist Petra Fans

Yes I was convinced once no doubt. I worked as an assistant pastor while training to be ordained. I left before that happened. I did read the Visitation when it first came out. I was in Bible College at the time. Christ For The Nations to be exact. It was a good book. No, although I struggled with p...

I don't see why I have to reconcile the two. I'm a fan of great music and Petra falls into that category. I don't base my belief system on the music I listen to.

Re: Atheist Petra Fans

Beat the System is a great album to get hooked on. It has what could be my #1 Petra song ("Adonai") and a couple that I consider among my favorites ("It is Finished", "Beat the System", "Witch Hunt"). You also mentioned "For Annie", which is another one of my favorites. Not a huge fan of "Don't Let...

Re: Atheist Petra Fans

Rex is probably right. Out of curiosity, how did you first become a fan? I like stories about how people discovered Petra. True enough. I became a fan as a child of a Pentecostal Pastor. Beat The System was the album that hooked me. Of course, I wasn't allowed to listen to it because it was, "rock ...

Are there any other die hard Petra fans out there that are atheists or am I the only one?

Re: Greg or John?

Greg. John is awesome but Greg is who hooked me. Props to John for keeping Petra going but Greg is the first one that comes to mind.
