Overview

"Christian" is a song by English new wave band China Crisis. It was released as a single from their debut studio album Difficult Shapes & Passive Rhythms, Some People Think It's Fun to Entertain (1982) and was the band's first major success on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 12 in February 1983. The track features an unusual sliding bassline, and although played live by the band bassist Gary Johnson on many occasions, the bass in the original recording was played on a fretless bass by Landscape bassist Andy Pask, who also co-wrote the theme from The Bill. The lyrics of the song was inspired by images from World War I that lead vocalist and keyboardist Gary Daly had seen, while the title "Christian" was added when recording the song: Track listing

Notable quotes

“"As I continued to read my Bible and spend time learning about Christianity, I found that I was really drawn to the grace, love, and humility that Jesus talked about"”
— Son of Hamas Chapter Sixteen Second Intifada Summer-Fall 2000
“... the Son of God died; it is by all means to be believed, because it is absurd.”
— Original Latin: et mortuus est dei filius: prorsus credibile est, quia ineptum est.
“The Christians, in the course of their intestine dissensions, have inflicted far greater severities on each other than they had experienced from the zeal of infidels.”
— Edward Gibbon (1788), The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Chap. 16, Conduct of the Roman government towards the Christians.
“I can never acknowledge the right of slavery. I will bow down to no deity however worshipped by professing Christians — however dignified by the name of the Goddess of Liberty, whose footstool is the crushed necks of the groaning millions, and who rejoices in the resoundings of the tyrant's lash, and the cries of his tortured victims.”
— Thaddeus Stevens, letter (4 May 1838), quoted in Shapers of the Great Debate on the Civil War : A Biographical Dictionary (2005) by Dan Monroe and Bruce Tap, p. 255.
“All Christians must be fittingly made aware of their call to holiness. The invitation to follow Christ addressed, in fact, to each and every member of the faithful, must tend towards the fullness of the Christian life and to the perfection of charity in each one's own state.”
— Alfonso Card. López Trujillo, Francisco Gil Hellín; "PONTIFICAL COUNCIL FOR THE FAMILY", "VADEMECUM FOR THE USE OF CONFESSORS" "Holiness in Marriage, "Vademecum for confessors concerning some aspects of the morality of the conjugal life". www.vatican.va; Vatican City, February 12, 1997.
