Comment:	So, how are they in any respect disagreeing with what Katy Perry promotes by covering her song Roar on YouTube? Their version is now #2 in a vote on Ryan Seacrest's website along with bands that hate Christ . I heard about the cover from "Christian" radio, not the show itself. Don't tell me it is an opportunity to get people listening to their music so they can find Christ; because if so they would put a message for Christ in or under the video explaining that is why they covered it on YouTube. How can it be anything other than that they actually enjoy her music & aren't that put off by her beliefs (just watch the official video to Firework if you want to see her views) or because they wrote it to receive attention for themselves & not for Christ. I guess it's like their lyrics in Make a Move, "What good are words when this world hurts?" Why use words to get Christ's message out, when you can use the songs of ungodly artists & make a move over to secularism? They said something above that you must admit if you are honest seems hypocritical in light of making the Roar video- "What I really love about our band is that we didn't go into the studio and think, 'I wonder what secular band we could be a Christian version of.' We believe that believers can create the template and they can make something new or as original as possible." How can this band say "Our heart breaks for them and we want them to realize the gravity of what it is that they are doing." and then turn around & condone it by promoting their songs. I used to like their music, but I can't anymore as I just don't understand & nothing you say can justify or explain it. They say you should challenge the culture, but they have become one with it by this & I say they should be challenged & I pray for them to see this & come apart & be separate & for the rest of you which will of challenge me when you should go to your knees & God's Word about it. Rom 12:2
