The Line of Cultural Upheaval

In "The God Who Is There", Francis A. Schaeffer says that cultural changes begins with the Philosophers and then touches the Arts where it filters into General Culture then Music and dead last, it touches Theology.

It seems that this hypothesis may apply here. Do you hear the theological change in these music lyrics?

"They say it's not about religion
But then they tell you how to think
They say it's all about the way you understand it
Then they tell you what it means that you've experienced these things."

From Deconstruction by Justin McRoberts

It may sound the same as what many of my readers have heard, but this is a shift crying out from a very different theological corner and background... one that I come from. Of course, if you've never heard of Justin McRoberts, you wouldn't know that now would you?
