This is the one thing I've never liked about this site.

Common, you've got to admit that slayer falls in the avoid at all cost catagory. One of their albums depicted Christ with his arms cut off.

What have you got against references on this site to Savatage COS?

I think many Christians would agree with you, but some would not.

Let's assume Slayer is in this "avoid at all costs" category. What is it that makes a band/album/song in this category?

The difficulty I have is in setting up rules in this area that are applicable to every Christian. But maybe you have some insight in this area.

Shred - thank you. You've given me some food for thought. I appreciate that.

Hey, that's what we're here for. Personally, I think God is far more concerned with what is coming "out of" us rather than what is going "into" us. Granted, the things going into us can affect us. But how we live, the attitudes we show to others, the love of Christ that we might express... All these things for me are much more important than a certain song that I might listen to. I'm more concerned about the fruit that my life is bearing than the songs my ears are hearing. I'm in a place where I would say that the lyrical content of the music I listen to has close to zero effect on my thoughts, attitudes, and walk with Christ. Others might be in a completely different place, and that's fine.

Very true, that.

I guess what I've been doing, without realizing it, is saying that where I draw the line is where everybody else should obviously draw the line. I'm entitled to my own opinion, of course, but I can see how that might come off as arrogant or otherwise not good.

Thanks again. You've given me some good things to think about.

And you and others always give me good things to ponder, too. Thanks.

Anti-leftist? How? He doesn't like the UN but that doesnt' mean he's anti-leftist. Infact, he's probably more anti-right wing and deffinantly anti-war.
