Do you mean being two-faced?  Being "For" and "Against" what you believe?

I am a professional musician who feels there is nothing wrong with playing both christian and secular music.  I would feel VERY uncomfortable playing something that is ANTI-christian, though.

It's all in your heart, some people don't like doing the crossover thing some do it's a matter of what your personal beliefs are.  Me personaly, as dwdrummer put it, I wouldn't mind playin with some of the main stream pop or r&b artists, but artists who music is filled with garbage like hardcore rockers and yeah some r&b cats, I don't think I could play for them, but cats who grew up playin in church are every where, G. Hayward, Paul John, Nisan S., teddy campbell, gordon campbell, and many others,  I read in some interviews of mainstream drummers that they know that some of the real talent is in the church,

I had this discussion with several people and I used this anology... I want to be a musician as my profession.  Some people wanna be - let's say a computer geek or a polition.  Does that mean that they HAVE to be a computer programmer professionally just for the church or how can some one who has ambition in politics be sucessful being boxed in at the church.  Thats not fair. I feel like people make us feel that way so that can keep our skills for themselves, that say absolutely NOTHING about that heart of a man.
