one of my friends took a look at how skillet dresses, and he says they look like devil worshippers, and should not dress like devil worshippers...that we are to be different from the world

i told him people see them, and it attracts the unsaved to listen to them and they hear christian lyrics...

Jesus, Jesus, I'm safe with you

Nations stream and angels sing, "Jesus reigns"
those are not lyrics for a devil worshipping band...tell me what you all think

Wow..... Devil worshipers.... no-wonder their music is so good ;)


Exactly how are we supposed to dress 'different' to the rest of the world???

I hope your friend doesn't go around in jeans, t-shirt and sneakers, cause Jerry Seinfeld dresses like that too, and he is also a devil worshiper.

Maybe we could be be unlike the rest of the world by not judging people by their clothes and styling, but it could be easier to find a christian uniform that no-one in the world wears.... maybe you could ask your friend to design one for us, so we could be more different. :)


Seriously, I'd be asking your friend how he thinks he dresses that makes him different from the world. I've seen Sadam Hussain looking spiffy in a suit, and Charlse Manson always looked quite respectable too.

maybe in order to be a true Christian band, this fella expects them all to have a crown of thorns? I don't know anyone who could play guitar with holes in their hands . . .

I don't know enough about Seinfeld, even if I did want to judge. I do remember that he was in a controversy with an under age girl, but that could all be media nonsense.

Calling anyone a devil worshipper because of the way they look is ridiculous. If your friend calls people that dress differently devil worshippers, then your friend needs to do a serious reality check. If people were judged solely on how they look (and sadly, a lot of people do that nowadays) the world would be a lot worse than it is. That would mean people would call goths devil worshippers, punks devil worshippers, and everyone else with actual style devil worshippers. I personally like the goth style, as well as the punk style, and if I were to dress like that, would it make me a devil worshipper? I think not.

Don't devil worshippers wear black hooded robes and hide in closets? :p

Just teasing. I have no idea WHY your friend associates clothing choices with devil worship. Thats nuts. Are you sure he isn't getting this from his parents? I mean, when I was younger, in my teens my parents swore that Van Halen dressed like the devil. Yeah, Van Halen. Sounds hysterical right? Exactly.
Maybe he truly thinks they dress like devil worshippers because he's being 'fed' that info. Its just ridiculous.

But Van Halen did write 'Running with the devil'.... Anyway, clothing isn't always an accurate way to stereotype. After all, I know several christians that dress like goths.

LOL!! An accurate way to stereotype?

Isnt the very nature of a stereotype such that it is in acurate most of the time?

don't you guys know that in order to be a christian you have to have parted hair, combed neatly, and you have to have a collared shirt and tie? otherwise, you are not a christian.

:p haha ... silliness. especially because there are hundreds of christian bands out there heavier than skillet who dress way more "like devil worshippers" ...

i clicked on this thread thinking they had something about skillet like...footage of them...worshipping satan...not just saying "oh they wear certain clothes" ... silly silly silliness
