I think im going to freaking blow up. Thats right, freaking go insane. Right again, I used the word "freaking" in a freaking sentence, quick, someone persecute me! Geez, I tried to keep myself from coming to this thread, from looking at this crap because I KNEW what I would see and I KNEW i wouldnt be able to contain myself, but i did, so here I freaking go!
Ive got a few points to give.
1. Susan, your asking us for proof that P.O.D. doesnt use foul language in any song or any interview or show or tv appearnce? I can only imagine how many years it would take to gather every shred of an article that had anything to do with P.O.D. Besides, you cant ask us that. You've told us that P.O.D. cusses, your asking for proof that they dont? If youve seen them cuss or read there words then cant you provide that yourself? Oops, I forgot, thats an empty accusation with not a bit of true to it.
2. Reggae doesnt equal Rasta, I already made that clear.
3. Heaviness of music equals evil? I dont think Jesus feels the same. Wether you whisper "Jesus I love you", or your chant it, or you scream it at the top of your lungs it makes no difference whatsoever.
4. If youll go back I made a huge post regarding the so called "rasta" lyrics used by P.O.D.
5. When they say they arent a christian band they mean just that. What they mean is they do not wished to be labeled as christian, but as people who know and love and walk with Jesus and God, who have a strong relationship with Him, instead of a bunch of christians trying to shove fire and brimstone down your throat. They dont want to be labeled as christian because sometimes people get the wrong idea, they think of christian they think of AC Bombers, or ranting preachers. Its like they're soldiers. They put on the camoflauge, sneek into enemy lines and let em have it. They can get non christians listening to their music and before they know what hit em they're gettin the truth and theres no stopping now. P.O.D. has led many a person to Christ. At heart members of P.O.D. are indeed christians. They've even admitted it themselves, christian doesnt mean what it used to sadly, P.O.D. knows that, they also know what true christianity is and they are apart of that, but they dont wanna have anything do with the messed up vision of christianity society and ignorant fools have created.
6. There is no proof to a single accusation made. P.O.D. is Rasta because they like Bob Marley. Doesnt work. I have respect for Elton John whos GAY and nonCHRISTIAN. I am a bit sad he doesnt know the truth as I am for all people who dont, but I still respect him for his talents and how hard he works. That doenst make me a gay atheist does it? Next, P.O.D. uses rasta lyrics they are Rasta. No such thing, Rastas a religion not a musical genre. Zion is in the bible, as is Babylon, Tribal, Jah, and many other so called "rasta words". So dont even TRY to argue with me about that. So Sonny grew up listening to Reggae, big deal. Hes exactly right, Reggae is very peaceful music, I both play and like to listen to reggae.
7. On that article they try to say P.O.D.'s symbol is related to Wicca and Pagan and even Satanic symbols. P.O.D.s symbol is on the bible, they didnt even know about how it was used elsewhere, it looked cool, it represented what they stood for so they used it. lll paste an article interview from shoutweb where this comes up and traa cleary exclaims "Please people, its got nothin to do with the Wicca" if you need your proof, honestly I dont think why I should if you wont but If I have to I will.
8. Earlier you said Reckless that being apart of and being around non christians are two different things. Your right, P.O.D. is not apart of what other bands at Ozzfest may believe, but they are around them and that IS NOT A SIN! If so, when you drive to the market to get some milk, you've already sinned. P.O.D. is travelng into the midst of hatred and darkness, armed with spiritual truth and light.
