Worship Wars- Are These People Serious?

If you have a few minutes, click here and read some of the comments people have left in response to this video of an old Brian Doerksen song (writer of "Come Now is the Time to Worship"). I stumbled upon this in a search for a contemporary version of "A Mighty Fortress is Our God" and it breaks my heart to see such things being said from people that apparently claim to be following Jesus.

Do these people not realize that at one point in history there was a group of Christians who banned or destroyed pipe organs because they said they were ungodly? Now these people think that pipe organs are holy and drum sets and electric guitars are evil and fleshly. God make us one please and stop our foolish arguments over musical styles. Michael Card is so right in saying that we need to de-sacramentalize music. Not that we shouldn't use it in worship, but music is not a uniquely Christian way to connect with God (as opposed to baptism and communion), but there certainly is not one music style that uniquely connects us to God.
