Is Evanescence a Christian band? No. The band made it clear that they did not want to be considered a Christian rock band, especially after controversy when Ben (ex-bandmember) swore during an interview. Shortly thereafter, Christian stores removed Evanescence from their shelves. Since then Amy has been quoted as saying that they are not a Christian band and would appreciate it if the rumor was terminated.
		Amy and Ben? Ben and Amy were high-school sweethearts and were once engaged to be married. To quote Ben: "Amy and I were once engaged. But alas, our storybook fairy tale romance, like all great things, came to an end. It's hard spending every waking moment with someone since before you could drive a car, chasing a dream together, AND trying to maintain a romantic relationship. We still love each other very much, though. It's wierd. You NEVER hear of these situations working out in the end, but we actually function just fine as best friends."
		Evanescence? A dissipation or disappearance like vapor
