All music is style and preference. I think its the lyrical
content that is more concerning. Having said that, in all honesty,
I am a Christian, a serious student of the Bible, and I personally
do not care for contemporary Christian music, but rather my
favorite band is Slipknot! Now, if your familiar with the lyrical
content, it certainly isn't Christiany. I more enjoy the style, the
agression etc of the music. It would be great music to play during
any bullets flying bloodbath war movie scene! Lyrically I could
care less what he thinks hes trying to say, but to be honest I
probably am not picking the best music for me to listen to when I
crank by stereo up in my truck, but not to sound flippant, but the
Devil hasn't reached out and "possesed" me yet over that one!
Having said that, I know for a fact, that within Christian music
circles there are every style of music, including that of the death
metal, death core genre, punk, thrash, etc.
But is it satanic? Hmmmmm,,,I think it is frequently used to
satanically influence people against God, but so is money! But is
the music itself Satanic? No. Its music, I think its more the
personal emphasis one places on their music than it is the music
itself, as to whether it is Satanically influenceing them or
not.
If your someone that gets all absorbed by the message being
singed, screamed, or gargled!!! about, then yeah, its not a good
thing, but if your just enjoying it, maybe venting a little
aggression from work on the drive home, or whatever, then I cant
say there is anything inherently wrong with that. You cant say
these things are any more wrong than Christians who think it is ok
to listen to popular Country Music songs? Ouch, I mean have you
ever listened to some of the ignorant things that are said in those
songs!!!!
