Top 10 Christian Songs I Hate to Love
My friends and I have been having fun lately emailing a list back and forth of what are the best of the worst Christian songs we grew up listening to. You know, those songs that are enjoyable, with lyrics you can’t get out of your head, but at the same time you’d be slightly embarrassed if anyone came across them on your iPod.
So I condensed our lists and decided to share the final version of our list of songs we hate to love. It’s not meant to be a mean-spirited list, just a fun way to look back at how much Christian music has–thankfully–changed.
I remember hearing “Big House” by Audio Adrenaline ad nauseam when I was a freshman in college and rolling my eyes every time someone tried to jazz up the song by replacing the “Where we can play football” line with “Where we can play frisbee” or something else that was more gender neutral.

Living with humans has taught dogs morals, say scientists
Dogs are becoming more intelligent and are even learning morals from human contact, scientists claim.
They say the fact that dogs’ play rarely escalates into a fight shows the animals abide by social rules.
During one study, dogs which held up a paw were rewarded with a food treat.
When a lone dog was asked to raise its paw but received no treat, the researchers found it begged for up to 30 minutes.
But when they tested two dogs together but rewarded only one, the dog which missed out soon stopped playing the game.
Dr Friederike Range, of the University of Vienna, who led the study, said: ‘Dogs show a strong aversion to inequity. I would prefer not to call it a sense of fairness, but others might.’

Golden Girls Outdistance Michael Phelps
Los Angeles (E! Online) – Mark Spitz has been vanquished. But not so Dorothy, Rose, Blanche and Sophia.
Michael Phelps’ Spitz-sinking swim on Saturday elevated NBC to its best ratings on the once-mighty, now-dead night in about a generation.
Still, the golden boy of the Beijing Games couldn’t topple The Golden Girls, which held on to its title as NBC’s most-watched Saturday-night show of the last 18 years.
