Not neccessarily sheep, but I'm pretty freaking sure alot are. If the trend was to sing about why socialism is great (just taking a random example), I'm sure most BM bands would sing about that.
To be fair, there's a good deal of BM bands who don't mention Satan at all.
Name some please, about 80% of the BM bands I've looked into mention him in one way or another. Either that or they're singing about impaling christians on burning stakes :Smug:
A culture which used to be based on various healthy Pagan values suddenly had unhealthy Christian ones forced onto it from the east. The external 'good' and 'bad' value system (which doesn't exist in reality and isn't productive), the suggestion of a spiritual 'higher power' (which is far fetched), the fear of death and importance placed on individual comfort (which buggers all sorts of things up), the elevation of humans above nature making nature unimportant despite the fact that it's part of everything and we wouldn't exist without it (which is leading to our extinction along with other things), etcetc. That's basically the point. Those who have pride in themselves and ergo their ancestry etc want their own natural and beautiful culture back, not the current alien one that isn't working.
Right so I'm gonna give you PROOF that I think you'll find hard to deny that there is SOME sort of superior being up there, whether it's God, aliens, or the ancient bloodmoon of the sea

Assuming we evolved from microscopic organisms who evolved from... apparentally just chemicals reacting together, who were formed as a result of the collision of say a couple planets (that formed earth) who were created by the big bang which started when a cataclsymic explosion in another universe occured which had been started by another big bang hundreds of billions of years earlier which started all by itself.... Wait a sec. What? I don't think things can just start by themselves... do you see my point? SOMETHING has to have started by itself without being caused by something else. Only one thing could do that... a supreme being of some sort.
I fail to see how the "healthy" pagan values of going around raiding other tribes is good. I also fail to see how you can possibly think a good-bad system isn't "natural" or good. Do you suggest we legalize murder? If we gave into all of our natural insticts we'd all be running around killing each other. In case you hadn't noticed, man is not "naturally good". If that were so we wouldnt have so many freaking problems in this world.
I never said that nature is unimportant. I'm a green myself (though opposed to gay rights junk) and I believe protecting the environment is CERTAINLY a priority. I do believe men are the superior race, but I also believe we as such have been charged with the duty to protect and care for everything else, something we aren't doing unfortunately
And no, we're not all equal, it's ludicrous to imply otherwise. Pitying the weak is a primary aspect of Christianity and, like my quote said, it unnaturally lowers everybody to the weakest level and leaves no room for evolution, pride, etcetc which once brought beauty to the west.
No we are indeed not equal, but surely you would like it to be so? A utopian and impossible vision to be sure... but who doesnt want everyone to be happy?
Where did you come up with this idea that pitying the weak is a primary aspect of christianity??? Yes HELPING the weak is certainly an aspect, but how is this pitying???
If you're suggesting we implement a "natural selection" type system (ala Hitler killing off the disabled and elderly)... well, hard to argue that that would produce a "evolved" race but it's just plain... evil.
oh and Naggamenteh and Barking pumpkin are both totally right in their statements.
