Christian songs
I think one of my biggest pet peeves is Christian artists that re-do secular songs and "make" the songs Christian. I can kind of understand the point of it, but at the same time I think it's a little ridiculous and here is why. As Christians we have unlimited connection with the Creator of the entire universe. He made gigantic stars that I can't even wrap my head around how big they are, but He also made the delicate wings of the butterfly. Now if we have all this creativity inside us, then why do Christians feel the need to borrow secular songs instead of writing new ones? Also why do they write songs that repeat the same seven words over and over and over. Why is it that one a whole the most uncreative songs are Christian? We can't think of anything unique to say to the Creator? Why is that? Now I'm not really a musical person in general so this is just from me looking in, so it's very possible I'm wrong. But does it make sense to you? It sure doesn't to me.

As far as I can tell rappers also repeat the same seven words but at least you can say the seven christian words without blushing. Its true though, every few years a really creative song comes out but then it gets played so much it gets annoying. I have one song I think explains it though, it goes "26 letters is all I've got to tell you how I feel about you 26 letters and you know I'm never gonna write the perfect paragraph, I've tried to express with adjectives of thankfulness, but I don't know if I can do it in 26 letters". I think God is so big and our vocabulary so small we use the best words we have and they don't even brush the surface but we keep using them because its the best we've got.
