Yes, singing/reciting things you don't understand is scary... I remember being at a school assembly in eighth grade where the president of the frickin' Honor Society led the Pledge thusly: "I pledge of allegiance to the flag..." Of course, everyone just repeated it.

I, too, nearly fell off the couch when that commercial came on. The Kidz Bop one is bad enough (I have to hit 'mute' during SpongeBob when that thing comes on), but this just takes the cake.

I don't know if it's because my hippie parents raised us to be atheists or what, but "church songs" always strike me as kinda icky. I just get weirded out to think of legions of little kids singing their guts out to these songs with no idea what the words actually mean and from there my mind goes into a Hitler Youth tangent and we're all still uncomfortable. Mindless mindlessness.

Sounds like a good soundtrack for Purgatory.

When I was in college, I was watching that Simpsons episode where the Flanderseses sing "I've got that joy joy joy joy down in my heart." A non-Christian friend was amazed when I told him that was a real song.

Sounds like you've renounced God already.

Don't knock the music unless the arrangements are terrible. The titles you mention are favorites and are probably on dozens of CDs.
