I am a Christian lyricist. I recently had one of my lyrics turned into music by a local music producer/composer. I am looking for some free, legit websites where I can post our song. My long-term goal is to get the song out to Christian artists or music professionals.|||Myspace and Youtube of course..
Then there is Soundclick, Lala, Mixposure, Datpiff is a hip hop site for mixtapes, but you could post your music there if you wanted.|||Yes. I agree with youtube. It is absolutely free and if you make good ones, you get a lot of views. Many people have become famous on youtube. 1 good example is justin bieber. Work hard and when you get your username, tell me the username and i iwill subscribe and spread the word!|||Assuming you don't want something absolutely dedicated to Christian music, Youtube allows you to post videos, and both Myspace and Facebook will allow you to create a Musician page and upload songs.|||Well...YouTube.|||youtube.com
Edit: Gazoo beat me to it :(

What were Judaism ideas and Christian ideas that contributed to the development to democracy?
How does the Judeo-Christian view of reason and faith, and the duties of the community contributed to the development of democratic thought?|||I think it's the belief that there's only one true god, and in front of god everyone is equal. Christianity did make the way to democracy much easier.
What are the benefits of going to a christian university over a regular one?
I am a christian and a sophomore in high school. I would like to know the advantages and disadvantages of going to a christian college over a regular one. Can anybody help me?|||You can have your brain washed at no additional charge.|||At a Christian school, you will likely be surrounded by people who share your faith in God and your religion.
At a Christian school, you will most likely be required to take religious classes or take part in some sort of school-wide religious activity.
At a secular school, there are many, many different people from different religions that you can learn about and from.
At a secular school, there will likely be some adversity towards you and your religion. Depending on the school, this could be a vocal or nonvocal minority (but people are generally tolerant).
Remember: you are attending college to receive an education. If you think the education you will receive is better at one school than another, go for the better one, regardless of religious affiliation.
Also, sophomore? Just make yourself a huge list of colleges you might want to research. You're fine for now.|||It really depends on your career goals. If your goal after college is to work within a Christian institution like a Christian radio station, journal, or church, then you'll want to go to a Christian university. If you want to work in the regular commercial world, then the advantages depend on which companies recruit at the Christian versus the secular colleges you have in mind.|||Well, I've been to both Christian and public high schools, and my best friend is in a Christian college at the mo while I'm at a public one....so I can help you out. I wont talk about cost since I don't know which one you're looking at. Some state colleges have higher tuition than private ones if you're coming from out of state.
GOING TO CHRISTIAN COLLEGE:
Disadvantages: Depending on the college, they may have stricter rules than a public one. My friend has a 10pm curfew. Also, since she is at a very conservative one, there is a lot of gender bias that drives her nuts. For example, girl's rooms are checked once a week for cleanliness and fined if the room isn't clean enough...while boy's rooms are inspected when they leave for the summer. And when you go to a school that isn't in the state system, your classes may not count if you choose to transfer. My friend wanted to transfer to UGA until she found out she'd loose 30 credit hours.
If you are going into a science field, I'd be careful to choose only well-known, reputable Christian schools. For example, getting a science degree at Bob Jones won't help your career much.
Advantages: The schools are often smaller, which means you get more one-on-one help. Classes also tend to be smaller and you're less likely to get student-teachers for your freshmen classes (or teachers who barely speak English). You also are in a place where most people will agree with your beliefs. Alcohol, sex, and drugs still are present, but aren't as openly obvious.
GOING TO PUBLIC COLLEGE
Disadvantages: It's big, so nobody cares. you're all on your own. It's chaotic too- I chose Health Behavior as a major and got advised for it aannnddd found out later they'd canceled it 6 years ago!
Freshmen classes are large (300+), and freshmen often get the crappy teachers. get used to seeing sex, drugs, and drinking cause its everywhere.
Advantages: You can transfer anywhere in state without loosing hours. You have more freedom and responsibility. Your classes are big so you can even play video games in class!!! (lol) You get to meet people with lots of different beliefs and hopefully learn from them. No curfew. And of course, you can always join a Christian sorority/fraternity or a Christian group if you want.
Good luck|||Well, you get to learn just about everything that you would learn at a secular school only everything has been skewed to favor God.
Unless you take theology and then you can learn about the actual history of the Bible and how it has been edited over time by man.
Also, they will teach you evolution, and then ask you to forget everything you just learned as the Bible is meant to be literally interpreted.
Also, they cost more.|||I go to a Lutheran private school, and I'm an atheist (I got a free ride). Religious schools are generally private schools, and private schools have smaller class sizes, maximizing attention to a particular student.
Also, most Christian schools are not "brainwashing"; the school I go to, Capital U, teaches evolutionary biology, Big Bang, modern science, etc. And you wouldn't even know it was a religious school if there wasn't a giant cross on the campus.|||There are none. Go to a state university instead. You'll get a far better education. And thus a far better job.|||There are some great Christian Universities. Georgetown, Loyola, Gonzaga, Boston College....
see a pattern here?|||An advantage is you'll be around other christians like you
a disadvantage is that you'll be held to a higher standard than others|||Nothing, there's no benefits, you'll just be brainwashed into believing nonsense|||I hear you can get a degree in 3 months in some christian colleges.|||Be sure to watch The Cosby Show!|||i hear science class is really easy.

What are some ways the Christian gospel is perceived in our culture?
I have to have several peoples opinions to these questions for a class. If you have a second please answer the following questions in your point of view.
2.)What are some ways the Christian gospel is perceived in our culture?
3.)What are some specific reasons (moral, emotional and intellectual) that people reject the Christian gospel?
4.)What can Christians do to address these objections and better communicate the Christian gospel?|||Well since the Christian gospels are books about Jesus' life I think it just teaches morals for modern day people to live by. If you mean the bible itself, much of the US law system was basically formed by principles taught in the book of Romans, until much of it began changing in the early 1900's.|||You didn't specify which "our" culture you mean. US? Mexico? Israel? Iraq?
2) ridiculous, wasteful, non-sense, damning
3) reject, because there isn't a single shred of evidence to indicate the buy-bull is authoritative in any way
4) nothing, they should read their buy-bull without preconceived ideas on what it says and in no special order, front to back like any other novel.
1 and 2 appear to be identical so I answered 2-4.|||ef hutton seems to be incapable of objective reasoning.

Any christian songs that deal with vulnerability and knowing who you are?
Can i get two different lists of christian songs. Some that deal with vulnerabilty and being vuolnerable with other people and especially God...About not having it all together. Around those lines or that would fit that criteria. Also another list of christian songs that works with knowing who you are in Christ, Plans thay he may have, Him showing himself and giving you identity etc...
Please help me out by giving me two different lists of songs that fit those two criterias! Thank you so much!|||I would say that Reliant K answers both of those. check out their albums mmhhmm, 5 score and 7 years ago and Forget and not slow down. For your first set about vulnerability I would say the song I So Hate Consequences hits it spot on.

What are some good modern songs that can have a christian meaning?
Im starting out with a new band and they are a Christian rock band. I dont know many Christian rock songs, but i song modern songs quite well. Fast or slow works, just something with a christian meaning to it. No heavy metal/screamo please.

Where can I find information on grants for Christian businesses?
I am wanting to open a Christian book store. In order to do this I will need a grant to help with the inventory. Does anyone have any information on obtaining a grant for this. It will be a purely Christian store and will be ran by only women.|||You'll have to talk to the churches in your neighborhood, or the state or regional offices of whatever church you belong to.
The word "grant" is typically used to refer to money from the government, but the US government does not give any money to any religious organization.|||Not from government. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for starting a for-profit business.
For private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online http://gtionline.fdncenter.org . It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.
Your best bet actually will be from the states if they offer grant programs for women (or any other special interest groups -- minorities, women, disabled, veterans, etc). Or check with non profit organizations, particularly women organizations if they offer grants. Examples include
Iowa Women's Foundation http://www.iawf.org/
New Mexico Women's Foundation http://www.nmwf.org/guidelines.html
Even SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/mostrequesteditems/CO鈥?/a>
"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."
Nonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.|||I Agreee!!!
