The word "Christian" is a great noun but a terrible adjective. Or that is what Rob Bell says. And I agree. I think too often people get offended when others say something bad against something labeled as Christian. I, for example, hate Casting Crowns. A lot. They are horrendous. But anytime I say that in front of another Christian, they get offended. Christian music can be uninspired, or just plain not good. And it is okay not to like something because of that, even if they are Christian.
The label doesn't really count. But social norms make it out that way. And that prevents us from truly portraying our feelings. I don't have to like a pastors sermons just because he is a pastor. If it sucks, it sucks. Plain and simple. I don't have to like the way a Church does something just because it is a church. It's okay not to, because it all falls into the same category. Everything has the ability to bad. Or boring. Or any combination. And just because it's labeled as something does not mean that the label is true.
