Fifteen years ago Rice wrote a silly song wondering what would happen if cartoon characters got saved.
I guess because I am a Bad Christian I didn't take the premise real seriously. My lack of spiritual depth caused me to presume the song was fanciful satire. But some actually took the premise of imaginary characters without souls getting saved seriously. And somehow they had access to the internet and even to transportation. Finally Rice had enough of people debating the theological ramifications of Fred Flintstone endorsing the faith.
Others wondered if Astro the Jetsons' dog should be praising the Lord. I wish I was kidding. Is it just me, or does it seem sacrilegious to have Astro from The Jetsons sing hallelujah ra-ra-ru-jah, to be exact? I thought worship was about reverence toward God. I just dislike the entire thing. I'm even more disgusted with the cult following surrounding this song. I don't usually advocate censorship, but if someone wanted to organize a CD burning party for this song, I'd bring the beer.
That all sounds very harsh. I know some people love the song and think it's just a clean, fun song that Christians can listen too. I just wonder when turning faith in God into a nursery rhyme was ever healthy for anyone involved.
Spreading the message that Christians can have fun would not be a bad thing. As for Astro I love that dog. Even though his sin nature seems to be prevailing in the photo it is wonderful that Astro is in the family. If you listen to Chris Rice's entire body of work you will see that his lyrics demonstrate great reverence to God. I thought the idea of having a kegger at a CD burning party was a mature and godly response to the song.
My biggest disagreement with this blog is his use of adverbs and adjectives. All we do is pander to the lowest common denominator. We never push forward. We never ask real questions. Maybe I should be thanking Chris Rice. Maybe he's showed us that constantly pandering does not edify the church but in fact forces us to devolve until we're speaking in cartoon voices. I don't want to speak ill of Chris Rice, a man I have never met.
I just wish to point out one of the many reasons I believe Christian music is irrelevant and in many cases detrimental.
All Christians do not pander to the lowest common denominator. Many are pushing forward and asking very real questions. Using words like "all" and "never" do not advance the dialog. I think using this little ditty as an example of pandering is more than an over reaction.
