And thank you for your insightful posts. It's just crazy listening to people criticize Stapp for his personal life... while there are even BIGGER rockstars (whom they admire) that have engaged in all sorts of irresponsible behavior. The main point is that some of the greatest musicians of all time have had their fair share of problems and addictions (and have done all sorts of immoral things). There's a distinctive line drawn between their personal lives and their music.

It's fine to disagree with Stapp's actions. Most of us here do. However, a lot of what you guys are doing is 1. Playing off the media perception as Scott being a Bible thumper (which he isn't) and 2. Twisting around Christianity by essentially saying that if Stapp was a Christian, he wouldn't indulge in sinful behavior.

Well... guess what? Stapp is human... just like everyone else. He has some negative parts to his PERSONALITY. But for you guys to call his behavior "immoral" and then in return listen to musicians who were into illegal drug use and would worship pagan gods... is completely hypocritical.
