: what do yall think about that?? i listen to bands like diecast and testament..bands that are not satanic..but are truly atheist..if not agnostic in their lyrical content...what do you think about that...a lotta the bands i enjoy happen to be non christian...and some of these bands have qualms about the jesus thing...what do yall think about this..i listen to them for musical content..and i can understand cuz i once was an atheist..and so i can relate in a wierd way..if that makes any sense..i would rather at times talk to some atheists than half the christians out there....so yeah..i just am into the scene..so i enjoy it all...lately its been more secular stuff tho.
: ~Testament? I listened to Testament back in the late 80's, is this the same band? Mostly what I listen to is not christian, so I'm not anybody to tell you "don't listen to that." Some of the bands I listen to also have qualms about the jesus thing...but I look at it that they're talking about your usual legalist or fundamentalist trying to convert them...I mean I have qualms about the Jesus thing too, in the sense of how it was all abused and distorted, I experienced that in the past...was kinda caught up in that ----
: ~Anyway, I don't know if this makes sense.
ahh but it so does marcos..i have had and will continue to have qualms about the "jesus thing" i mean on both extremes its bad the fundamental legalist and the non fundamental free christian is also a pain in my rear..so i just try to stay in between..
at this moment i am listening to promessa divina..a christian black metal band who sings in portugese. i do love the christian metal scene..and i am doing what i can to learn more about that scene...it takes a lotta research and networking..but i have discovered some cool bands along the way...and have found a neat site to trade off your unwanted christian metal cds..i have done so and have recieved a lotta nice stuff i wanted because of that..so what bands specifically are we talkin about marcos that you are into?? i am sure that i have heard of some of them...go ahead..let me know..;)
mine are as of late are these..
immortal souls,sanctifica,yeti,garden of shadows,inflames,night in gales,which are blackmetal/melodic metal/death metal bands...i need to do some more music research..while i am pretty well rounded in the secular/christian music thing..i could always learn more.
