Well it's certainly not of Christ.
(This is just just one line of thought here)
Originally posted by sumydidWhat about positive subliminal thoughts (thought "implants"? ), are they bad as well?
I think Suzianne is right. Metal is safe. The caveat is, it's people that are prone to be subliminally influenced that should avoid not only certain types of music, but certain movies as well.
As a Christian--and I don't have kids but if I did--I would not allow my children listening to certain types of music or seeing certain movies until they reach an ...[text shortened]... cause if so, then you might as well outlaw every country song ever written.

Whilst i appreciate this "one line of thought", please could you kindly put some more thought into it.

I honestly dont know in which direction to take this or from what point of view I should be arguing form. There are literally dozens of different ways I could approach this

Tongue-in-cheek play on words, that was all.
Except that not "all comes from Christ".
Originally posted by karoly aczelMetal music is not "satanic". My favorite band, August Burns Red, is a Christian metalcore band. They're pretty damn heavy, but pay special attention to the lyrics:
(Sorry about my spelling, there seems to have been a glitch when I attempted to fix it).
Some metal music makes direct references to satan, some allude to it while others dont even mention it at all, however some christian groups (usually the more fundie types) like to brand all heavy metal music as "satanic".
It is clear that that some of these bands ...[text shortened]... good laugh, and possibly doing it for attention -any publicity is good publicity.

Satanic? Quite the opposite. You see, it all depends on the lyrics that are written for the song, and the connotation. Genres of music are not sa m sure there are plenty of bands out there that are, with songs that exemplify that quality.

Originally posted by SuzianneI see, so we have the True Christian® card being played.
Good catch.
On the above date, I did, in fact, call Zahlanzi a CiNO.
Again, I say I didn't call any Christians in this forum a CiNO.
This man has such a deranged version of Christianity going on that I cannot, in good conscience, call him a Christian. It's like he accepts the Gospels, but does not accept, nor condone, any of the rest of the Bible. ...[text shortened]... s motives irrational, *while claiming to be Christian*, is "working iniquity" in my book.
