    Black Sabbath

    I just want to say thanks to everyone who replied. It's good to see Christians who like great classic rock. I wonder if anyone else has had the same criticisms for their choice of music, and how did you respond?

    Black Sabbath

    Are there any Christians out there who like Black Sabbath? They are my favourite band, and I also love Led Zeppelin, AC/DC and Deep Purple. Though I often get flak from other Christians who judge my whole Christian worth by the music that I enjoy. Any comments?

    Need help dealing with people and friends

    I am writing here about how a Christian is supposed to deal with difficult people. I just don't know what to do anymore. I have an acquaintance from the university I go to,and I just find him very difficult. He is very touchy, very easily offended, and I feel I am walking on egg shells around...
