Is it OK to wear an anti-Christian band's shirt to church?

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

To troll, or for some other reason?

I'd say it's okay if the other people there are okay with it, which based on what you've said about your church is significantly more likely than the people at my church. Depending on whether the band is just non-Christian or actively anti-Christian, though, we could be venturing into realms of the most abject postmodernity (which isn't necessarily a bad thing!). Also, what is mewithoutYou? Is that some sort of Christian hardcore, and if I so, I never knew there was such a thing.

Seriously?

I've never got why people think it's so odd are surprised it exists.

mewithoutYou are one of the most influential bands of the last decade for that style, they've been a huge influence on non-Christian bands (like La Dispute, who are very big now), and even Tweed loves them. They're still together but they're playing all sorts of weird experimental folk stuff, not post-hardcore. I remember this guy I briefly worked with wearing their shirt and I was like "you like them?" and he said "Hell yeah, they're probably my favorite band", I don't know if he was Christian but he never struck me as such.

Huh, interesting.

In my case I think it's odd because I just have a very limited and circumscribed understanding of what hardcore music is/is like in general.

Okay, yeah, you're into the desert of the real there (which, again, doesn't have to be a bad thing).
