Preaching Satanism will reach audiences that preaching Christianity will not, but that doesn't make it okay.

There vas a preacher in England who converted his communion service into a demonic techno rave. Naturally the only people who attended were drug dealers and prostitutes - and sure! they would not have attended otherwise. And yes, it wasn't OK.

I don't personally listen to that kind of trash music at all. I would not allow such music in my household, no siree. I just think it's good that someone is trying to reach the kiddies. I'd prefer turn your eyes to Jesus anyday over what they play on the radio.

The problem is that whereas "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus" ©1922 comes with the message: turn your eyes upon Jesus (and whether anyone likes that particular tune or not, the message remains the same), the sort of stuff on the radio comes with a different message.

When Emily Osment for example sings JERKFACE LOSER BOYFRIEND (2010) or GET YOUR YAH-YAH'S OUT she is not encouraging her audience to turn their eyes upon anyone except Emily Osment.
Some of her empty lyrics are available here if anyone wants to read them, but I won't post them because they are too awful. They don't seem to feature swearing, however.

Yo Majesty are another prime example of the all-consuming anti-God paradigm drilled into the brains of vulnerable children using satanic rhythms and lewd gyrations. CLUB ACTION (2008) lyrics are here, but only read them for research purposes, please (and probably best not watch any of their video clips, either).

Also included as a parental research tool are some lyrics from Snoop Dogg. I looked at SERIAL KILLA (1993) and BATMAN & ROBIN (2002) mainly because the values associated with this genre means that even most of the song titles are revolting! When modern teenagers say that they'd like more accessible music, “toonz” “beatz” and "breakz" this is what they mean, even if they don’t know it.

And they probably don't.

JUDGES 2:17 And yet they would not hearken vnto their Iudges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselues vnto them: they turned quickly out of the way, which their fathers walked in, obeying the Commandements of the Lord; but they did not so. ©1611

At least with making newer music, there is an attempt to reach a new generation. Sometimes older music doesn't appeal to younger audiences and if it causes people to come see the glory of God, than I am for it.

Turning Jesus into a fuzzy bunny, love everyone, hippie has brought people into churches as well, it doesn't save them.

They shouldn't play Free Bird. Jesus hated it so much He sent most of the band to Hell.
