Religion is a topic that everybody has a point in like politics that nobody is going to win. All i am saying is, that i am a christian, and if you are not,then i am not critisizing you and i would expect the same. The only thing i want to mention is, i pity you, we will think of you while you burn in hell !!!
Save your pity for yourself, have fun rotting in the ground, as we all do. I pity anyone not strong enough to believe in themselves.
I think that people in America might not understand my problem with Catholic and Protestant, just in Britain people have been killed for being a protestant in a Catholic area and Vice Versa...Have you heard of the IRA?
In the News a couple of years back, there was a story on the news about some protestant kids going to school in a Catholic area, they needed a Police escort to get to school and live on telly someone threw a pipe bomb at the crowd of police and kids...A policeman was hurt but luckily no children.
Someone must have missed the commandment that says...
"Thou Shalt not throw pipebombs at kids in the name of Religion"
And Nocturnal Sun, that was not offensive what I said, that was the truth, if my parents let religion rule their lives I would never have been born, that is another reason for my hatred. The both of them denounced their religion for happiness, now that is powerful, not being told what to do by a dead Jew whose buried in France
Back to topic, All metal has Satanic imagery, not just Death Metal and yes I accept that some bands use it as a gimmick to sell records, but Music was created for, and should be, a means of communication and an art form, and I respect genuine Artists, whatever they have to say, if I don't like what they are saying, then I don't listen. I will give anything a try, but once I have made up my mind that is final.
So if you don't like what people are saying in their songs don't listen, it makes you a hypocrite.
