- What are your views on the above topics in metal?
more suitable in metal than other genres, since the black or death vox compliments the content more than the likes of Necro (The rapper) who speaks "evil" type themes with a faggot lisp... it just doesn't create the same vibe.
- do you listen to metal for those things?
I never listen to music for lyrical content, if I want something with substance that's what reading is for. Since I don't believe Satanism has any more validity than any other religion, hearing about it is nothing more than hearing about Zeus and warriors in Viking metal---I can enjoy it, but I don't take any of it seriously, and I certainly wouldn't favor a song about Satan over one about Archilles or how cold the wind is in Europe.
- if you do not believe in organized religon or God, what are your views on the matter?
religious music is to be expected from religious people. hopefully it doesn't ruin the music.

In the context of what The Greys is positing, it makes a lot of sense. If religion restricts freedom than going against that will promote freedom. I don't think this is completely true, but it makes sense in the way he said it.
Strawman alert.

You misunderstood my point. I mean that atheists generally won't bother visiting Christian metal forums or talking to fans of the genre to find out which bands are the good ones buried under all the popular crap. The Christian bands that are big enough to be mentioned are often times not even close to being the best, just as it is with secular music.
cookiecutter said:
Religion doesn't restrict freedom in all cases though, just like a gun it can be misused and used to manipulate people when it's put into the wrong hands (or heads). If music and metal are to be about freedom then it should be tolerant of other beliefs/ideas, which is what I was saying makes no sense given the amount of hatred there is in metal, for religion and many other things.

What the hell was illogical about that post? You quote an entire block of text with multiple subjects discussed in it and say "strawman alert" to all of it? Retard alert.

Stop over analysing Metal, its fukking Metal, dammit! Stop trying to make it into something its not. Dont strangle the life out of the music by trying to explain what the purpose of metal is, the purpose is to make you bang your fukking heads!

What about reality should we be checking? That evolution is basically scientifically proven by the fossil record, or that quantum mechanics have pretty much proven the big bang theory?

Shut the fuck up. I'm not trying to explain the purpose of metal, dumbass, I'm trying to tell other people not to do that when they say it's about freedom when it's really not that simple. If he meant self-indulgent freedom, then yes, but that's not freedom for everyone.
And all the crap about evolution... come off it, people. Yes, evolution is basically proven (at least microevolution is), but that doesn't rule out the possibility of God. I believe evolution is the answer to how, but not the answer to why. Though I'm still not sure there's significant enough evidence to prove the Big Bang theory.

Well if Darwinian evolution is true then there is no why... only how. And actually I would think if anything the Big Bang theory would support theistic beliefs (though not biblical ones).

Well there's your problem right there. The fact that Christian metal seperates itself from secular metal so much that the only way to find good stuff is to go join a Christian metal forum, is ridiculous. Like I said before, I don't search for music by religion. Why does "Christian Metal" have to be an exclusive genre unto itself?
