Live and Let Live, but WTF?

I lurk on the local Craigslist Musician's site and saw a post today that left me scratching my head:

"looking for musicians that live for jesus not just playing and live for themselves and the world jesus says not to be luke warm but to die to the world and yourself and live for him"

Huh?

"i play all styles of jesus power metal hard rockin blues...i would like to start a christian musician fellowship where all christian who love to play music can get to know each other and pray with each other and work together to connect musicians with one another and find out who god wants us to play with"

Assuming god wants anyone to play "jesus power metal hard rockin blues." But I digress from the serious business of soul saving at hand.

"only serious sold out on fire christians who have a calling from god to spread the gospel warriors for christ that there weapon is there instrument to come against the devil and sin in this world no groating or screaming just quality vocals in harmony to spread the word of jesus christ let's die to our flesh and pick up our cross if you have the annointing and got your life together right with jesus grown up in christ not just for fire insurance but doing everything to be a mature on fire christian lets rock."

The mental image of sold out on fire christians spreading gospel warriors for Christ will haunt me for days. I don't expect correct grammar, usage or punctuation in a Craigslist post, but is it too much to hope for coherence? Live and let live but, damn, learn to speak the language, will you?

Don't forget: no groating.
