Justin Marler (of Sleep- a doom metal band) left and became an Orthodox Christian monk. A lot of the monks at St. Herman of Alaska Monastery in Platina, CA were formerly in the punk scene. In the 90s they started an evangelistic zine to reach that particular subculture called Death to the World. I believe they've recently updated their website, so they still seem to be active with their evangelistic efforts in that area. http://deathtotheworld.com

As for bands, well salvation is often a personal, individual thing. I have not really heard of whole bands becoming christian.

By 'bands' to you mean rock bands. By definition many rock music is so anti-christ and proud of it. Rock music does take its cues from the occult, even so called christian 'rock' bands, often are a mixed bag. Michael w smith is into freemasonry.

Many of the album covers reference occult symbolism. The other day walked past a poster advertising Iron Maiden, saying its concert tickets cost $66.6 I mean that is so lame.

Why is freemasonry wrong? Or are you just going by what some website told you to believe?

Peter Hopper - drummer with Janis Joplin. He later was in the Love Inn worship band that recorded several albums of Ted Sandquist worship music (along with Phil Keaggy and Nedra Ross from the Ronnettes).

Hopper's son Chris had a rep as a popular worship leader back 10-15 years ago.

Wrong forum for that discussion. Suffice it to say the reasons are numerous and overwhelmingly convincing.

First off it's germain if it's brought up in this discussion. I didn't start it, I'm replying to someone else's comments.

Secondly, what's so convincing? I've been a mason for almost 30 years, but a Christian for 45+. There is nothing in Freemasonry that contradicts my faith in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

As I've always done in forums like this, feel free to ask me anything in regards to either comment.

Understood that you were making a response. But this forum is for discussing music, not theology. As it says in the parent directory: "Forums for the discussion of music."

Additional comments on this subject may bring down the ire of the mods on us both.

I've been around here long enough to know that in cases like this the Mods do offer some flexiblity. In particular in this case when the subject is broached by one person and then questioned by a second.

As well if you don't feel versed enough to answer the question feel free to just admit that and move on so the person I asked can answer for themselves.

While I could answer, today I have neither the time or inclination to get into it.

I will let the guy that brought it up answer.

Feel free to contact me directly if you would like to be educated on how Freemasonry is in fact an organization steeped in Christianity as it was from its inception.
