Hey tom... and this affects you how? I would be more worried about the people that think stabbing a taxi driver is okay. Thats the reality I came back to after Parachute. Good on ya for having your views though. Thats what a free country is about aye! Chur bro.

Hey guys, I had a fantastic time at Parachute this year, one of the best, despite the 3 days of raining, the flooding, and the mud. It was great to see so many stick around for the last night and day. I loved going nuts in the mosh/snake pit at Family Force 5 and just loved Leeland, I know a weird combination.

And Tom from Auckland, if you compare the prices of tickets for 4-day Parachute Festival (which is a lot more than just music) and Auckland’s Big Day Out, you will notice that ticket prices are actually really reasonable.

If you got to know one of us, you will notice that the God we sing about, write about, and talk about so much is not a figment of our imagination, but is a very real relationship that most of us experience and develop daily. He has revealed Himself to us all, and we would be lying if we were to deny His existence.

Concerning the Easter Bunny, thanks for killing my childhood dream, if I didn’t know better I would presume you would think Santa Claus didn’t exist either. ;-)

@Jan Why not try church for worshipping god. You won't get rained on and you don't have to buy expensive tickets (which isn't very christian, is it?)

It scares me that our tiny country has the second largest Christian music festival in the world. Is our education system so poor that children grow up thinking a man in the sky hears all our thoughts and made everything? Or are our kids just gullible?

PS Sorry folks, the Easter Bunny ain't real either.
