I have to agree, i use to go to Greenbelt in the 80 and early 90's i looked forward to listening to christian mainstream music with a message, now what do we have ??? All sorts.
Why is there a muslim activist there?? Is it part of being politically correct?
I think it is absolutely disgusting quiet frankly, year by year it has got worse,
What next? Getting Anton Levay leader of the satanic church of satan preaching there? Well in for a penny etc...

Is this a joke?! What is Greenbelt if it isn't a Christian festival? Either CR should be passing comment on it's sad demise or should completely ignore it as it's becoming more and more secular. Surely there have to be some boundaries, not just acceptance because it's under the Greenbelt umbrella.
