    When I was young, I went to several concerts for DC Talk (his band at the time) and the Newsboys (the band he became the frontman for).

    While I’m still religious, I’ve since become an outspoken critic of corporate Christianity. Having a bunch of rich people singing pop songs to arenas full of people paying hundreds of dollars each with million-dollar lighting systems spotlighting the singers doesn’t feel very humble and spiritual.

    So it’s fair to say I already had issues with this dude for profiteering of people’s faith. With the newest revelations, I’m shaking with rage. This assholes and those who hid his actions pretended to be faithful servants while destroying lives and raking in profits and praise. They pretended to be exemplars of goodness so they could establish implicit trust, then used that trust to violate others.

    Fuck them all.
