soo good

[ethereallights]

Well, Brittney Spears doesn't have satanic lyrics either but does that make her good..... yeahp that's what I thought you'd say, it does.

FYI, Christianmetalheadus isn't a fake account. His band is actually pretty kick ass too (check his link profile).

My eyes may deceive me, but looks just like a guy who digs Opeth and put his opinion in about them. I love how the anti-Christians/anti-religion group finds a need to jump on the guy at the first sign of the word "Christian" or "Jesus" oooOOoooo spooky stuff! My eyes must be deceiving me, I don't think I saw the dude point fingers or attack anyone else's belief?

Anyways...Opeth related so I hope the thread stays...will also be good example of how so many people are such hypocrites when it comes to their own beliefs whatever they be...and how they think they know what being a "Christian" is all about. I'm a Christian and dig Opeth as well, but, how can that be?!?! Captain, this isn't logical! APOCALYPSE NOW!

 

[cthulufhtagn]

opeth originally started out as a Stryper tribute band. and boy, you haven't seen opeth till you've seen akerfeldt in yellow and black spandex

I can't stand people who honestly think Satanism is the real thing.... didn't God imprison Satan along time ago in Hell, unless Satan's been lifting weights this whole time and appeals for parole then he goes after God and winds up right back in the slammer. That's what I'm going to call Hell from now on the slammer..... I was just pointing my finger and chastising you like MetalAges told me to.......

 

[Triste]

Ha, why even care about satanic lyrics or not? You Christians are so good at appropriating(or should I should I say hijack) musical genres that the next thing you know there'll not only be "Christian metal" but also Christian Satanic Metal!
Then there'd be Christian Atheism, and my bald-as-a-baby's-bottom head will be the next hair fasion fad

There actually is Chrisitian metal...that uses growling vocals too! The only one I can think of right now is Paramaecium from Australia but I'm sure there's more...

 

[Demilich]

I take all the satanism in metal with a grain of salt, it's actually kind of fun! I especially like when it comes from people who aren't actually satanists.. hence how I get a kick out of the lyrics to songs like Edge of Sanity's "Of Darksome Origin" and "The Sinner and the Sadness".

Agnosticism > Satanism > Christianity!
YAY!

 

[synergy]

Extol and Living Sacrifice are two damn good bands, so christian metal is cool with me

 

[Rose Immortal]

Since when has extreme metal been popular?

You're correct, I should have said "popular within the metal community" or something to take that into account. The point I had intended to make was that I think it's good that Opeth doesn't do things just because it's popular in the metal community.

Opeth looks up to Immortal

No way in hell.

 

[Jon Snow]

God told me that His son regularly listens to Opeth \m/ hell yeah \m/ :Smokedev:

I cannot stand people who cannot stand other people because of their beliefs.

 

[Jon Snow]

I just think it's ridiculous to mix religion and music. If it's good music then it's good music. Religion should have nothing to do with it. I say separation of church and music so that they each may exist in a more pure state.

 

[My Arms, Your Hearse]

Jeezus Is A Cunt.

 

[Bored]

i like food

 

[Bored]

no.. i am bored

 

[MetalAges]

That's it I am banning My Arms, Your Hearse because he isn't conforming to my Christian beliefs! Burn in hell heathen! Flame licker you are! :Shedevil: :Smokedev:

 

[ethereallights]

Burn in hell heathen!

Hey it's called the slammer now.... the ignorance of some people amaze me.....

I don't think it's right to restrict the topics people can write on, in music, regardless of if we do or don't like what they have to say. Now, my personal opinion about religion and music is that sometimes it can work--but if it's at all forced, or for show, or just plain ineffective in the writing or music, I'm not interested. But as I have said on other occasions, if you don't like a thing, you just don't buy it or listen. That's the only "vote" that matters.

I think it's people restricting what they listen to......maybe I'm CRaZy

 

[Pessimism]

christian metal . . . i think demonhunter is that
i think their music sucks ass though

 

[Rose Immortal]

ethereallight--And if a person makes such a choice privately not to listen to a certain thing, without enforcing it upon anybody else, why should there be any problem with what they do? It doesn't affect anybody else.
