Actually, all four members of ApologetiX have written original music and lyrics for Christian songs. At this point in time, however, we feel called to do the Christian parodies. We didn't start this as a gimmick or a money-making scheme. It all came about quite naturally. The bait we use when we fish is humor, distortion of familiar lyrics and recognizable melodies.
Some people say that rock music has evil roots.
We would point out that rock historians generally acknowledge that much of the roots of rock music comes from church music. Others would say that Christians should come up with something different than rock music, rather than conforming to the standards of the world. Some historians would even tell that some of our famous Christian hymns were original bar songs that were rewritten with new lyrics, although that is disputed by some other speakers. We weren't there hundreds of years ago, so we don't know for sure. And that's what we're trying to do.
