One of the original members of a world-renowned Christian rock band has come out as an atheist.

George Perdikis, an early member of Newsboys, says he’s lost his faith in God -- and that the band’s current members aren’t as squeaky clean as they appear to be.

1. I used to think your user name was Swedish or something like that.

The true meaning didn't strike me until recently.

Oh, that's off topic. Yeah, Christian rock is an oxymoron. They might be singing about Jesus on stage, but there's plenty of un-Christian debauchery going on in the tour bus.

3. There goes the platinum record sales

5. A note on this from my Weird Hobby...

My Weird Hobby is building scale models.

Few years ago, a company released a BIG and beautifully detailed scale model of a bus.

In a scale model forum, people were talking about different versions of the bus they might build.

From memory, one of the exchanges went like this:

Poster #1: "I think I'll build it as a rock band tour bus. Full of booze bottles, drugs, porn DVDs and figures of naked groupies."

Poster #2: "If you want to build it as tour bus for a Christian rock band, just put in all that same stuff. And add 1 Bible."
