Re: Top 10 reasons why God hates rock music.

Wow, when i was in high school taking voice lessons I was taught that art music was classical.

There was something called the Canterbury scene which attempted to fuse art music with pop music. In Austria there's The Vienna Art Orchestra. You will hear the similarities.

Re: Top 10 reasons why God hates rock music.

Hello brothers and sisters of Christ, I know that this is a topic much discussed already, but it cannot be said enough. Rock music is a scourge on our nation, and must be stopped at all costs. Here are 10 facts that explain exactly why God hates this rubbish "music".

1. It encourages the use of illegal drugs. Practially every one of the top 40 records being played on every radio station in the United States is a communication to the children to take a trip, to cop out, to groove. The psychedelic jackets on the record albums have their own hidden symbols and messages as well as the lyrics to all the top rock songs and they all sing the same refrain: It's fun to take a trip, put acid in your veins.

2. Drums are the instruments of satanists, devil worshipers and pagans, and should never be listened to. The rhythm has been proven to have a brainwashing effect on children, and slowly converts them to satanism. If you hear drums, block your ears! I cannot stress this enough.

3. Rock music encourages rebellion. The Lord orders us to submit to unto him, but with this rock and roll in our ears, we are likely to rebel against Him and His word. Further, the music teaches children not to listen to the wise counsel of their parents. How can we raise our children to be good Christian Americans when they listen to this rebellious filth?

4. Rock music encourages homosexuality and transvestism with men wearing make-up, and even dresses or skirts (which they try and say are "kilts", ha! We know better than to fall for that! Clearly rock represents a homosexual agenda, with all male groups touring the countryside in one bus. Most likely they are sharing the same bed as well, but let's not get into that.

5. Rock encourages women to start thinking for themselves, and to believe that they don't need a husband to guide and lead them. So-called female rockers parade on stage singing about nonsense like "independence". All such performers are lesbians or possibly bisexual, as some travel alone with large groups of men.

6. So-called "Christian" rock groups are the worst of all. Not only do they put the name of our almighty God into these "songs" with drums and guitars, which is the height of blasphemy might I add, but they're also part of the same agenda as the rest of them. They attempt to fool good Christian children and parents into buying their music in order to brainwash them and convert them to satanism.

7. Rock tries to tell us that the government is wrong, but only when a Republican is in office. Look how they've stopped doing that since Comrade Obama muscled his way into office. They've always wanted to destroy our beautiful capitalist country with their socialist ideals. Remember, it's a small step from rock music to communism.

8. Rock music encourages promiscuity and whoredom with their overly sexual lyrics and innuendo. They parade around on stage and in videos half-naked in an attempt to convince young girls (and boys) that they want to have sex with them. Studies have shown that children and teenagers who listen to rock are 22% more likely to have sex with older persons. Rock music = pedophilia.

9. Rock concerts are often used to present propaganda about "peace". This is a clear distraction from the war that God has ordained us to win. If the rock musicians were in charge, we'd all be living under the rule of the Saudis by now!

10. Lastly, rock music encourages us not to read God's Holy Bible. The lyrics of nearly all rock songs are laced with subliminal messages telling us to burn our Bibles and submit to the will of Satan! We must ensure our children read the Bible instead of listening to this filth.

So there you have it, ten indisputable facts that prove that God hates rock music. We need to stand strong against this onslaught my friends, if your children bring home a rock CD, make them break it in half. Tell them to listen to real American music like Dolly Parton or Willie Nelson. Or even better, why don't we listen to more hymns? Encourage family singalongs of "Onward Christian Soldiers" and other real Christian patriotic songs.

Continue fighting the good fight people!

What...? I want to ask you if this is true, and if you have stated it from your heart. Because if you did, I can't say that I envy you in heaven. My place on Earth may be uncertain, my life may be short, but all this is complete falsedom.


First off, all music originates from the Ancient times. Then, it spread to Egypt, Asian cultures picked up the instruments like flute, cymbal. David, in the Bible, is depicted using a harp. Then, a really long time passed, and the music remained the same: played on instruments, by people to people. During WW I, the Jazz began to explore darker, harsher tunes, beats and rythms, evolved into the rockabilly over time, that produced the rock and metal we now know (I intentionally didn't write "we all know and love", because it wouldn't stand for the most people).


This is a direct quote from Wikipedia:
Rock music is a genre of popular music that developed in the 1960s from 1950s rock and roll, rockabilly, blues, and country music. The sound of rock often revolves around the electric guitar or acoustic guitar, and it uses a strong back beat laid down by a rhythm section of electric bass guitar, drums, and keyboard instruments such as organ, piano, or, since the 1970s, analog synthesizers and digital ones and computers since the 1990s. Along with the guitar or keyboards, saxophone and blues-style harmonica are used as soloing instruments. In its "purest form," it "has three chords, a strong, insistent back beat, and a catchy melody." In the late 1960s and early 1970s, it branched out into different subgenres, ranging from blues rock and jazz-rock fusion to heavy metal and punk rock, as well as the more classical influenced genre of progressive rock and several types of experimental rock genres.
As you can see, there is no mentioning on what a god would think about a type of music. If so, the god could choose to like a type of music one's followers think that their god didn't like the genre of that kind.


As for metal performers dying suddenly or after a long illness: I can only say thatthey could be in heaven, playing rock or meatl and one would suspect (if they believe the rightness of their faith), they are in hell, rotting eternally. Who knows...? I don't, that's for sure.


All people I know have at least a bit of liking on Rock music. If we all die, who will support the Church...? Didn't really think about this, did you?

So you don't want to go to Heaven, you prefer to go to Hell. Fine, suit yourself.

Where did it spread from, exactly?

the rock and metal we now know (I intentionally didn't write "we all know and love", because it wouldn't stand for the most people).

I highlighted the most reasonable thing you said so far!

When you want to know what God things about something, Wikipedia is your source?! Seriously???

All people I know have at least a bit of liking on Rock music.

And most people whom I know, don't care about it. I guess it proves we belong to different social circles?

If we all die, who will support the Church...? Didn't really think about this, did you?

I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to imply here. Anyhow, our church is about quality of members, not quantity.

Pardon me? I was not mixing movie titles with song titles. I was quoting a Led Zeppelin song (Stairway to Heaven), an AC/DC song (Highway to Hell) and an Iron Maiden song (From Here to Eternity). If my choice of font type disgusts you, I could always revert to Comic Sans MS. It'd be more impactful than my current font. I have added everything I could, but you can't be reasoned with.

Thank you for this meaningful comment. No, really, I'm not being sarcastic. I'm speaking the truth. I'm not eating humans, but rationing can mean that you are rationable, you can think straight and thus you are. It was unclear whether my choice of wordding implied cannibalism or not. But it doesn't. Yes, society started eating humans, with "vaccines that cause autism" and other "bad and harmful ways". And I just want to add something: It's Nomad. I'm very sensitive on this thing. You culd say that it is a Matter Of Life And Death to me.




One thing I want to specify: I listen to Metal, but I like all people, be Muslim, Buddhist, Taoist, Hinduist, Atheist, Catholic, Lutheran, Evangelist, Anabaptist, Baptist, Puritan, Protestant, without a religion, Materialist, Darwinist or from another religion. This is because all I see on this forum is 5H17posting about how Muslims should die and how Baptism is the only religion that is worth a penny. No. You can ban me for speaking the truth. You can do it. You are authorised to "purge the unsaved trash". Also, what the heck is "unsaved trash"? That is the stuff you dispose. Am I disposable to you? Is the human liffe so worthless to every single one of you? Because if it is, then you should get rid of this attitude. Life is the only thing that separates you from death. And after that? If reincarnation was true, how are no man walking around telling that "h, death is so bad, you should not even attempt it" or "Yeah, death is awesome, I'll just take a nap and return to living in a [certain amount of time]." How's that?

Dear Sinner,

The worth of this mundane Life is only in the fact that it can lead us unto Life Eternal in Jesus Christ!



John 12:25
He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

Wherever did you get the idea of "reincarnation"? The Hindoos vouch for it, and the Buddhists. Instead, they dismiss Jesus. You seem to be of the conviction that we despise those of false religions (Catholicism, Judaism, Baha'i, Confusionism, etc.). Nothing could be further from the Truth™. We love the Unsaved and do our utmost to tell them that unless they accept Jesus and Worship Him in the manner we teach them, they are doomed and will spend the Eternity in Hell (Matthew 13:42). It is not us who treat them as Unsaved Trash, that is how God feels about them unless they Repent.

Psalms 14:1
(To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.) The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

The Unsaved are (please please look at the verse above) corrupt and abominable and everything they do, no matter how nice it seems, is always disgusting and evil, because God has defined things to be like that.

We, on the other hand, LOVE the Unsaved enough to keep on preaching the Truth™ to them even when they (like you) come here uninvited and mock us despite our best efforts. Very seldom do we get the gratitude that we deserve!



The same is True™ of false Christians.

Titus 1:16
They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Now you can see that you are not fighting us but Jesus. That is a battle you cannot win! You can only submit and choose Him. This life is disgusting and repulsive and we hate it. Jesus will reward us in Heaven one day. You could still be there with us if you make the right choice!




Yours in Christ,

I am still unsure why the other religions are shunned and denominated as "SINNER". Picking on me because I have said something you say it is untrue doesn't change the fact that I have friends of all cultures. Furthermore, we just went so far off-topic that it'd be off-topic if we steered back to the metal and rock music. As for the afterlife: We'll meet there, if I ever make the way. "There's no place for me in heaven,
Nor a place in hell,
Sentenced to walk here forever,
This will be my final place to dwell..."

Here, please read this excerpt from the Oxford English Dictionary to clarify the problem. My argument is that "ration" means a portion of food, yet "rational" means something completely different. Human rationing does not mean that I am eating humans.
