"There's another song that deals with Christians that are two-faced and use Christ not as a relationship but as a religion. They kind of put him on the back burner spiritually and put him in the forefront in the world so that it looks like this person loves Christ and God. Instead, he uses Christ to gain financial benefit and to be popular in the world's eyes. That song is called "Poor Millionaire." The background behind that title is that the man is a millionaire who has fame and money but is poor in the spirit and doesn't actually have a relationship with God. The guy is lost and doesn't even feel his own soul. There's some pretty brutal lines in that track, but that's what was on my heart, so I wrote it."

Hmmmm. I just love musicans with an agenda.I wish they held themselves up to the same standard in which they hold Christians. I guess they would have to relinquish all that arrogance first, though:)
