  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Right, right. And in Harry Potter the kids use ACTUAL SPELLS which if read aloud, will cause someone in the room to burst into flames or turn into a chicken. Did you get your information from a Chick Tract or something?

There are musicians who do that sort of thing. Manson isn't one of them. He has made appearances in "Satanic Churches" which are actually atheists; they just call themselves Satanists in order to make Christians get all steamed about it. In reality they're plain old secular humanists with a streak of rational egoism. They're still wrong, but they don't worship the devil. And neither does Marilyn Manson. Making exaggerated claims about how evil someone is doesn't help anything; in fact it is counterproductive.

I know what they believe, but some of them actually DO worship Satan, most Satanists believe that Satan is just a term for the voice inside them that tells them to do stuff and all that crap. Marliyn Manson apparently does worship the devil as an actual being, the one from the bible.

Servent Of Yeshua, you're complaining about that mild stuff? You obviously haven't listened to any Black Metal (neither have I too much, it's rather self-obsessed).

I think that kind of music is crap lol, though I like some metal, not that kind. I'm quite open to music, as long as it sounds good, The Beatles are currently my favourite band :)
Marilyn Manson - Anti Christ Superstar, sells bracelets with WWJD (We Want Jesus Dead), hating on Christians, etc. He delibarately goes against Christianity.

He was being sarcastic in that song, because people had actually called him an anti-Christ. Seriously, do some research sometime.
Oh yeah sorry I don't research every line of every song :S And I know it was sarcasm, just pointing it out, hence I said they're not a Satanic band.

If you knew that the line in question wasn't satanic, why bring it up? :scratch:

If you were making a joke, I'm sorry I misunderstood you. But if not, I'm just saying be careful about using the word "Satanic" as a descriptive term. Technically, everything that is sinful is satanic. But I think the word should be reserved for people who consciously and deliberately follow Satan and oppose Christ. For that, you have to believe in both Satan and Christ, and I'm pretty sure Johnny Rotten is an atheist. It's one thing not to believe in Him; it's quite another to believe in and oppose Him.

That article sounds like something from The Onion or The National Inquirer. :doh:

Satanist rock bands are used to lure in impressionable young people who, initally have no interest in cults, just like the music -- until they are introduced to Satanist ways. Teenage girls and young women, especially, become "groupies" to such bands. They get more and more sexually promiscuous and, inevitably, end up being used in vile rituals by male cult leaders. These men are often demonically possessed -- or may even be Lucifer himself in human form.

The dangers of Satanism are made very clear in the shocking news story below. It tells of a young woman's involvement with a Satanist "church." The parents of any Christian teen should pass it on as a cautionary tale.


I BORE SATAN'S LOVE CHILD!

By C. Michael Forsyth

"SAN FRANCISCO – A former member of a prominent Satanist church has filed a $2 million paternity suit against its head honcho, Lucifer, charging that the Evil One has failed to pay child support!
Mandy Greakley, 31, claims that she was impregnated by the Devil during a sinister rite in 2005, and that since then she hasn’t received a dime from him. What’s more, her lawsuit alleges, he has never once visited their young son.
“Lucifer left me high and dry,” Mandy says bitterly. “When we were together, he promised me the world, but when he found out I was expecting, he pulled a disappearing act.
“He dumped me and little Kyle like so much garbage. I guess there’s a reason they call him the Prince of Lies.”
Satanist leaders vehemently deny the stunning accusation against their beloved lord and master.
“He did not have sex with that woman,” insists Dan Hogerman, a spokesman for the First Church of Lucifer, Angel of Light. “This individual is obviously very, very troubled. She needs professional help.”
According to legal documents filed in San Francisco Superior Court, Mandy first met the Lord of Darkness at a Halloween party hosted by the church. At first, the raven-haired beauty didn’t believe the mysterious stranger when he revealed his identity.
“At these gatherings, you meet a lot of guys who claim to be high-ranking demons, but turn out to be low-level minions, or worse, ordinary humans,” explains Mandy..."

Anyone mention Dimmu Borgir? or Naglfar? also Nile.
Behemoth. Most "TRUE" satanic metal bands are actually far from mainstream, and tend to only be found on myspace and cheaply made EP's ;)


When I think of Dimmu Borgir and Naglfar, I think of World of Warcraft nerds playing video games all day haha. I don't know why, I can't help it. Dimmu especially just seems so cheesy to me.

I don't know why anyone would think Nile are satanists. I thought everyone knew that all of their songs are about egyptian history/mythology or about H.P. Lovecraft's fiction. In fact many of their lyrics are taken directly from the egyptian book of the dead, which is actually not some dark and spooky magical tome, but simply a collection of letters that the family members of the deceased would place on the bodies of their loved ones before they were buried.

The only song I can think of by nile that's not about mythology or science fiction is "Kafir" which mocks islam. It seems to me that they're atheists or agnostics.

Well, you could either list bands that literally sing about satan (like Dimmu..who actually have said they only do it for show..they don't believe a single thing they sing about) or..if you where Christian, you probably would feel inclinded to list bands that are satanic in nature ;) but yeah..lyrically Nile isn't satanic.
