I consider myself a Christian but I like Heavy Metal: Metallica, Slayer, Lamb Of God, and Ghost. Can you consider yourself a Christian and like Metal?

Of course.

It's rap that sends you to Hell.

If you can have a penis and consider yourself a woman anything is possible.

Yes. Most metal uses dark satanic themes, but is actually about overcoming one's inner demons and vices, and rising above them. It typically has a fairly Christian message despite unchristian pagan symbols.

I believe you can. However, I usually stay away of songs that obviously denounces Christianity or faith - i e The Hand That Feeds by NIN.

I know...I know...here comes the so-called pundits telling me how stupid I am for having faith, or for "sitting on the fence" for listening to demonic music...

Sure you can but have you listened to some bands out there who are Christian or at least are comprised of mostly Christians? There's some really strong ones that tour with some heavy hitters:

August Burns Red
Fit For A King
Wage War
Texas in July
Gideon
War of Ages
Oh, Sleeper
Those Who Fear
For Today


And if you want even heavier try:

Impending Doom
Saving Grace

Examples:

August Burns Red - Ghosts

Wage War - The River

Fit For A King - Hollow King

Saving Grace - Shekinah

Impending Doom - Murderer

Nope. Heavy metal immediately banishes you to hell. Where you'll have to suck Satan's? dick to get a drink of water.


Seriously though, this is a joke, right?

You're saved by grace, not by works. Of course you can.

Of course you can. There are so many metal moments in The Bible. Remember when Jesus casts out demons and the demons went into a herd of pigs then the pigs ran down the mountain into the sea and died? That's pretty metal.

We (my wife and I) find Ghost to be funny. I'm not sure which song it is but lyrics basically say "are you ready to swear before the devil". But then PAPA Emeritus (sp) says that they are a very spiritual band. WTF

To me the heavy metal devil worship is much like WWEits all show. Some may actually believe and thats ok but for the most part its just a show.
