Faith based Metal[views:42963][posts:230]____________________________________________ [Apr 12,2007 9:53pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] Some bands have spirituality in their lyrics, some have blatant Christian imagery but I believe metal is about the music. "Christian" metal is criminally underappreciated and it's because people are so against people with beliefs. Listen to these bands and hopefully your hearts will soften a little.

Bret should have given that dude a SHARPSHOOTER years ago, and saved us all from the "yeahs" and "no matter what they say's" that band rambled on about. and CTB please, I hate to sound like everyone else, but enough with the Christian shit. It's really fucking pathetic that you're an adult and still holding onto that sad excuse for a fucking belief system. I really have tried, since being raised in a Christian household, to be tolerant of most belief systems especially ones that pertain to godman J, but please, there is absolutely NO evidence that your buddy Jesus was anything more than a historical priest/king who got trampled by the brightest and most powerful systems of his time, and got wrapped right into the Dionysus/Osiris ideology. If you think I'm busting your balls, check it out, shit your pants, and then come back and talk about Christ. Your "ideology" cost more in lives and historical damage/destruction than could ever be imagined being paid back to humanity. |

I love being human and learning about what other humans have done and gone through, and that something as trivial and ludicrous as Christ roadblocks me is a real kick in the pants. The front of the pants. |

I dont know you but I care about you. There are millions of nice people out there that love you and they dont know you. I had feelings simular to yours several years ago. I will tell you this truth. I found a wonderful life in my faith in Jesus Christ. Satan has been lying to you. Read this book called "Your Best Life Now" by Joel Olsteen. This book was the first step In my walk to recovery. It's 306 pages and a very easy read. I love you man. Take care. I know how you feel about this subject. I'm not trying to beat you up with this, I just want you to know. The only reason some people wake up in the morning is because it's illegal for me to suffocate them with their pillowcases. Fucking moron. |
| _________________________________________ [Apr 12,2007 11:22pm - Granny_Monster ""] Ha ha ha ha! I love how deeply religious people think they know what they're talking about and that they can help you lead a better life. |

I saw him on Larry King once and someone called in asking about what would happen to Jews, Muslims, Bhuddists, Athiests, etc. and he wouldn't say they were going to hell. He kept saying "uh, it's not my place to judge, only God can judge, uhhh..." It was funny because Larry basically said "Well are they doomed or not? Be real, Joel, don't be a pussy." |
| ______________________________ [Apr 12,2007 11:27pm - pam ""] Of course they find better lives with God, now whenever something bad happens, instead of dealing with the brevity of it they can say "it's God's will". And when they do something good, instead of taking credit for it, they say they did it because of God. It's a perfect way to throw up your hands and not have to take responsibility for anything. Also an excellent way to not have to deal with the shortness of life. Grow up. |

I don't like to just yell at people online, and I agree that the "fuck off, godboy"s are lame, but you can't expect to not get shit for a post like this on RttP. I'm not saying to not post threads you want to post, but don't get all bummed when people aren't feeling the love. Also, it doesn't help when many of the bands that you post in order to prove good Christian metal exists are actually not good. PS - If I recall correctly, Extol is a good Christian metal band |

Listen to these bands and hopefully your hearts will soften a little. I love how he even prefaced his post with this, and you dickbags STILL jumped at the opportunity to attack his beliefs. Which, in turn, proves his own statement that much farther. Jaweh, Atheism, or Satan, you're all still a bunch of fucking sheep. Don't for one second think your own yard is different than the guy next door. Simply a few different lawn ornaments, nothing more. Belief is personal, and thus unattackable and infinitely defendable. Why you even bother jumping all over this thread I'll never know. Maybe it's the only way you can feel secure in your OWN beliefs? Funny thing is, I hate christianity. Still, I find myself embarrassed by the people pretending to defend my own beliefs in this thread. So, it's okay to listen to Blind Guardian sing tales of Middle Earth, I can hear Iron Maiden sing about the pharos in egypt, but as soon as a band sings about Christ I gotta turn off the radio and spout my vulgar opinions about the wretched nature of religion? Retarded. |

| _________________________________ [Apr 12,2007 11:54pm - Ryan_M ""] It seems a lot of these Christian - er - "Faith Based" metal bands have the talent, what they lack is balls. Sure they can shred and blast and scream and thrash but there's no attitude behind it - it just feels too benign. |
