I certainly don't want to burst your bubble about this. In fact, I'm
really happy for you that you found this so cool (really!). However, I
would bet that most people watching didn't find that "they glorified him
on national tv in this day and age." Unless the word "God" or "Jesus" is
mentioned prominently in a song, I doubt most people would make that
kind of connection. Therefore, I don't think that "in this day and age"
really means anything in this case. I doubt that Mark McEwan and/or CBS
conciously "allowed" a song to be played which "glorifies" God.

Again, I understand and appreciate that fact that you said "my own
interpretation of that song," so I don't mean to bash that at all. I
just think that most people watching CBS yesterday only saw a new band
with a great sound.
