Friends, I'll be absent from these Godly forums on Wednesday 8th September because I'm going to picket a concert at the Brudenell Social Club by an ungodly rock'n'roll act named the Mountain Goats. I'll be there passing out the most relevant Chick Tracts I could find, such as this excellent expose of "rock music" and this damning indictment of the partying/drugs lifestyle and... I'll be honest here, I couldn't find that many that seemed directly relevant, so when I run out of those I'll just have to pass out a mixture of the tract that condemns Mary-worship,one explaining why Allah is a false God, and the one telling how God guided the translation of the King James Bible. But I digress.
Anyway, for Christian parents who may not be aware of this menace, here's a brief run-down of some of the reasons why you should never allow your children to listen to this band of God-mockers:
- The name. "Mountain Goats" is an obvious play on "mountin' goats". Christian children do not need to be exposed to this kind of bestial smut! (For anyone in doubt on the matter, Exodus 22:19 and Leviticus 20:15-16 make it very clear that "mountin' goats" is not an acceptable pastime.)
- In addition, "goats" are clearly used in the Bible to represent evil - see Matthew 25:32. There is no way Our Shepherd would allow these goats into his flock.
- An early release from 1995 was named Sweden, after the ungodly capital city of Denmark, and carried a picture of the vile Danish flag on the front cover:
- Their 2002 release All Hail West Texas featured a song singing the praises of an anti-Christian death metal band which ended with the words "Hail Satan". Could it be any clearer?
- Their album Tallahassee was entirely made up of songs depicting a failed heterosexual marriage. At a time when the Holy institution of the family is under all-out attack from radical queers, we don't this kind of defeatist stuff sapping our spirit. Telling stories about failing heterosexual couples is nothing less than treason in the ongoing culture war to defend Godly Normal Marriage.
- Their album We Shall All Be Healed is offensive on so many levels I can barely keep track of them. The entire thing is devoted to glorifying drug addiction, and it features not one but two songs designed to boost the credibility of "Belgium" - "Letter from Belgium" and "Your Belgian Things." Do you really want your Christian children to have to learn about "Belgian Things"? Do you?
- What's more, the closing song is entitled "Pigs That Ran Straightaway into the Water, Triumph Of" - trying to persuade the listener that the demon-possessed swine from Matthew 8 are good role models worthy of emulation. Disgusting!
- In 2008, they released an album entitled "Heretic Pride". Once again, the blasphemy speaks for itself.
- Their latest album, "The Life of the World to Come" attempts to beguile innocent Christian listeners by having all the songs named after Bible verses! DO NOT BE FOOLED! The Bible is not some kind of "cultural text" that Godless artists can "engage with" to find "inspiration" and "metaphors", IT IS THE LIVING TRUTH OF THE WORD OF THE LORD OUR GOD, AND IT IS NOT TO BE TOYED WITH! The thought of anyone other than a Born Again True Christian having the arrogance to sing about "Ezekiel 7 and the Permanent Efficacy of Grace" just fills me with fury! How dare they? Repent, sinners!
