Well, in going back to the whole misconception about Creed being a Christian band, I think they've gotten bad press for the same reason Christians in general have gotten bad press. I think there's this belief out there that if you're Christian then you're going to try and preach to people. I don't necessarily think this is true, but lots of folks do. So, if people are under the impression that Creed are a Christian band, then they're also under the impression that Creed is just a bunch of Jesus freaks who are trying to brainwash kids with their music or something. It's pretty ridiculous, if you want my opinion, especially when you consider that it's a lot better to be brainwashed by someone with values than someone without them (hypothetically speaking, since I don't believe Creed's trying to brainwash anyone at all). To me, the beauty of My Own Prison -- the entire album, but especially the song itself -- is just the fact that it's a frank discussion on how having faith is hard.
