I think you need to re-read my posts, you don’t seem to get it.

I am saying these people are kidding themselves that this music is christian. It is rock music. Rock music is not christian music. It doesn’t matter what words you slap over screaming guitars and shouting singers that dress and act like any other rock musician. The message is overwhelmed by the rock music.

Rock music is by nature not Godly music. The dancing beat of heavy drums and hard heavy bass, and arpeggio guitar solos and screaming and yelling is not godly music. I don’t care what words you put there, it is not godly music. If you would feel weird about playing it from CD, or having the artists perform it live, for one of your church services, then there’s a problem with that music.

I am saying don’t kid yourselves about the nature of rock music. It isn’t christian music. No matter what kind of veneer you try to put over it, it’s still rock music, and not christian music. I am not saying you should never listen to it, I am saying be honest with yourself, do not kid yourself as to what it is you are listening to.

You're demonstrating the psychological phenomenon called projection.

You're engaging in a priori argument. You're merely asserting. You're spiritualizing your own cultural and musical tastes. Looking at your choice of adjectives (dancing, hard, heavy, screaming), it looks likely that you've been seriously sexualizing things, and, no, "arpeggio" is not a synonym for "fellatio" even though both have a Latin origin, the same ending, the same number of syllables, and doubled letters.

Are you sure you're not Bob Garlock from B.J. University?

screaming guitars and shouting singers

Which of the songs that I've posted have either?

I'd bet you listened to none of them.

And I'm truly sorry that you can see through a keyhole with both eyes.
