.Are all emos too thick to understand sarcasm, or is it just the female ones?

No, it's just the fact that your head's been filled with Christian b*******.

Or maybe some ignore it and turn it into a compliment!

Just like how, on Judgement Day, Jesus is going to ignore your pathetic attempts at repentance and turn you into a lampshade.

Isnt that how when you die, you will just become dust, and never see anything ever again?

Please God forgive me for what I think I just caught a glimpse of! You are vile and disgusting.

Are we sure this one is female, Brother?

No, it's just the fact that your head's been filled with Christian blessings.

I'm not sure why Pastor Ezekiel edited that; it's quite true.

Our heads indeed are filled with Christian blessings. Yours could be too, if you'd just open up to Jesus and give up the ridiculous, unfounded rantings of your prized "scientists". They write a "theory" down, and you automatically believe it is truth! Writing something down does NOT make it fact; if it did, Barack Obsama's "Audacity of Hope" would be selling in the NONfiction section, alongside the Bible!

Re: Christians Seem to Have Something Against Heavt Metal

I disagree. BarlowGirl is the most Christian band I've ever heard, and they would be classified as "rock." So would Underoath, Demon Hunter, Skillet, After the Rain, and a lot of other bands I enjoy. What they're doing is comparable to rapping about safety or making a hip-hop commercial out of a public service announcement: they're trying to reach a wider audience with their message.

I'm sorry, I meant to quote you both. Can I interject here? I've been following this argument since it started and I'd like to offer a solution. Just hear me out here: Neither of you are actually debating; you're just going back and forth telling each other why you're the only one who's ever going to be right. QueenArya7, I agree with you on most accounts and admire your open-mindedness and willingness to try new things, but getting defensive against people like Brother Temperance isn't a very effective way of spreading that mindset. You're presenting your case to one who refuses to listen to anyone who doesn't agree with him from the start. I know how easy it is to see him as a narrow-minded, pontificating sexist, but we all come to the truth in our own way, and if we don't discover it for ourselves, rather than having it drilled into our heads by someone else, it means nothing.

Brother Temperance, I know you're a devout Christian and I think it's great that you put your loyalty to God before everything else, but you can't expect people to listen to you if you offend them like you did QueenArya7 when you called her unclean and emo and everything else you said. I think you both need to look at the psychology of this issue and realize you only see what you want to see out of each other. Brother Temperance, I think you see QueenArya7 as a naive and unfaithful sinner, and so that makes her inferior in your eyes. Therefore, you will not listen to a word she says, even though, by all accounts, she has every right to believe what she does. You have that right as well, but if she doesn't want you to invade her beliefs, you shouldn't. Maybe she doesn't know the truth, maybe she does, I don't know. I don't profess to know the whole truth. What I do know is that whether or not she goes to heaven isn't your call. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but God's is the only one that matters. I know you don't want God thinking you're blasphemous because you took it upon yourself to decide who's going to end up where.

At the end of the day, God cares if you gave what you could, deserved what you needed, and tried to be a good person. Maybe a part of that is live and let live, even though these online crusades are hard to stop when your emotions get in the way. Just... I dunno, give peace a chance. It takes all kinds.

Re: Christians Seem to Have Something Against Heavt Metal

Hey, TT forum counselor, your points are worth considering, but you seem to miss the purpose of this forum. We're not here to make people listen to us. This forum is here for the members to praise our Lord, Jesus. It's people like Queenie and her ilk who barge in here and try to make us listen to them. Could you please address that issue and help us protect our forum from the Visigoths?

Re: Christians Seem to Have Something Against Heavt Metal

What is the main problem you guys have with heavy metal? is it the lyrics? is it too loud? Believe it or not, it doesn't all pay homage to satanism or hedonism.
