Sufjan Stevens – Chicago Lyrics 20 years ago
Sufjan says about his name:
"It's Armenian. It means "comes with a sword." It's one of those charming militaristic Muslim names. I guess my purpose in life is to kill and avenge."

It doesn't mean his family had anything to do with Islam though, it's possible, but most Armenians nowadays are Christian.

Sufjan Stevens – To Be Alone with You Lyrics 20 years ago
I don't see what's nice about Gummi, who elucidated nothing. Why react harshly over strong Christian views that are probably similar to Sufjan's?

Walty- I was raised Christian and I was only allowed to listen to Christian music for a lot of my younger years. Some of the artists I found were good and even though I'm not Christian anymore I still listen to them. Pedro the Lion, Over the Rhine, Jennifer Knapp, and Sixpence None the Richer produce literate and innovative Christian music, though not quite of Sufjan's quality.
