Christianity is better off without him, and you can't say that about too many people

Christ apparently didn't think that He would be better off without him (if the confession is genuine). God would rather save even a loon than lose him to hell forever.

"Christianity is better off without him, and you can't say that about too many people"

While I never had any interest in that sort of music, I think it's important to note who it was that Jesus took his message to. He preached to the whores and tax collectors, not the elite society members. And he was condemned roundly for it too.

Paul said that God uses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. I don't think that principle has been revoked.

That is a terrible thing to say...and entirely unChristian...

I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in Heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance" - (Lk. 15:4-7).

A confessed felon facing crucifixion was good enough for Jesus. He did nothing in life to deserve Paradise, except Believe during his last moments on earth. I'll give Alice Cooper the benefit of the doubt (though I probably won't ever buy his music).

Christianity is better off without him, ...

I'm a little late to 'pile on' but I think you're wrong about the statement above.

Cooper has a past, he learned from it. He's an excellent example that a person doesn't have to be stuck in a way of life that's destructive and\or immoral. People will see this as it is possible.

He has a lot of bag to make statements about his faith in today's PC climate. I've met so many hypocrites who claim to be Christians, but were nothing more than a self-serving fool just looking down on others. Alice sounds like a person who knows where he's been, knows where he's at, and knows where he wants [needs] to be.

If I had to choose between being like Alice or being a fool, I'd rather be a genuine Cooper Christian.

That is the most ignorant thing I have ever heard from anybody who called themselves a Christian! Who are YOU to determine who is worthy of salvation?

You obviously don't understand the grace of God. There could be no such thing further from the truth than your comment. If Christ has has accepted AC, then that's good enough for me.

A true Christ loving Christian would never make a statement like that. Would Christians be better off without Paul, he was killing Christians you know, and I believe that would make him a worse person than Alice Cooper.

What a terrible thing to say. And I don't believe Christ would agree with you. One once lost child found his way to his Father. Christians should be estatic that one of their brothers found his way home. And we should be praying for the many other lost souls.
