Ahhh, but that's the point - you mentioned a specific band - Sabbath - a band which I have listened to for at least 2 decades, and received an entirely different message than what you claim it has - all because you claim to have seen some kids who got into the occult because of it - which, seems to me they were already looking for an occultic message because people like you claimed it was there.

the bottom line is that your ignorance of something makes you fear it, and if you fear it, you lash out against it. Whether it's Black Sabbath, or Christian Rock. It scares you because it's completely alien to your worldview...

***you mentioned a specific band - Sabbath ****

Actually you brought them into the discussion.



***because you claim to have seen some kids who got into the occult because of it***

I know many of them. One old friend of mine recently came out of Satanism after 10+ years. He was deeply into music and played/produced for many years. He used music and a "evangelistic tool".



***which, seems to me they were already looking for an occultic message because people like you claimed it was there.***

Metal is full of occult themes and symbolism.


***the bottom line is that your ignorance of something makes you fear it,***

I know these bands well. I was saved out of garbage like that. You are guilty of making assumptions.


***It scares you because it's completely alien to your worldview...***

It isn't alien to me. I understand both industries fairly well.
