I choose the name of this blog from my second favourite Christian band, Audio Adrenaline. Its most in response to my dislike of what seems to me, many Christians feeling that we ought not to be prosecuted or put down. We hear how much we out to have our Christian values placed in the government, our judicial buildings, and in the general view of all others around us. It seems that many Christians do not deisre to be persecuted, to be meek, to choose to be hateful instead of loving (not wanting homosexuals in our church).

The song reminds me that as Christians, we are called to be the underdog. To be prosecuted, hated is something we ought to cherish and be thankful for, we should never hope to remove it all from our public lives. Too often we wish to look like better Christians on the outside and weak Christians on the inside than having a strong, personal relationship with Christ and have a meeker, less judging attitude with the secular world.

I don't think its because they don't want to be this way, I just think that many people don't know any better. The problem is that you never hear the point of view of those who have it right, you one's we see and hear, the ones who have the biggest auidence for those who are seeking true Chistanity, they just don't get the fact that we are called to be underdog.

"I've been beat up, been broken down, no where but up when your face down, on the ground. I'm in last place, if I place at all, but there's hope for this underdog. And thats the way we like it."
