haha, amen

ultmetal on Tue, 03/05/2011 - 21:09

I wondered why not a single person commented on this one. Thought it might bring up some 'interesting' comments and conversations.

whiteravenmetal on Tue, 03/05/2011 - 21:49

I don't know, a lot of people don't like to comment, I do, I comment on every thing that caught my atention

That would be cool to get a copy of when available in English

ultmetal on Sat, 09/07/2011 - 23:08

thrashbabe85 on Tue, 03/05/2011 - 22:02

That's awesome. I want one in English.

Brainwash? A book? People brainwash other people. A book doesn't have that power, even if it is the Word of God.

ultmetal on Sat, 09/07/2011 - 23:40

That's a load of crap! We don't need censorship in heavy metal. Some of the greatest metal songs in history have had lyrics based on the Bible, or religion, or faith-based ideas. You'd have to throw out a good portion of Black Sabbath's lyrics if you banned religion. Metallica's "Creeping Death" would go out the window. Twisted Sister's "Sin After Sin", Realm "Slay the Oppressor", Flotsam & Jestam "Doomsday for the Deceiver", Devastation "Souls of Sacrifice" would all be banned. etc. etc. etc. That doesn't even take into consideration all the great Christian metal bands.

How about we let people sing about what they want to sing about. Metal is the ultimate musical expression and has room in it for whatever the artist wants to sing about.

ultmetal on Sat, 09/07/2011 - 23:53

Well then 10,000 if them can end up in the trash if people don't want them. No one is forcing anything on anybody.

And besides, you said, religion doesn't belong in metal". Sounds like censorship to me.

ultmetal on Sun, 10/07/2011 - 06:41

No, what I am saying is, if you don't want one, don't take one. No one is forcing them on anyone.

respect your opinion but don't share it..

WTF?? it's his own choice... that's the same as he may not say anything about it.. dude we can say exactly the same thing about other things ...

it's just lame to say such thing.. if you don't like it, just don't read it, he's free to share it.. that's this site about.. share things..

i don't want a war between us but that's just my opinion and i share it :)

mayhempunk666 on Mon, 08/08/2011 - 08:54

so what exactly is this? is it like a book of born again christian metal stars talking about how much they love being a metalhead and a christian at the same time?

Moshoholic on Mon, 08/08/2011 - 09:40

pretty much haha, i got it aswell, they where handing them out at sweden rock festival a couple of years ago, i couldnt stop laughing.

mayhempunk666 on Mon, 08/08/2011 - 09:54

hahahaha wow thats pretty funny.......thats a really sad tactic to try to get people to convert lol

Moshoholic on Mon, 08/08/2011 - 10:00

haha yeah, i got a feeling they didnt convert that many people, alot of people took the books and burned them at the campsite while shouting hail satan and laughing their asses off haha

mayhempunk666 on Mon, 08/08/2011 - 10:07

Moshoholic on Mon, 08/08/2011 - 10:12

I understand where you are coming from. PEople should be able to just enjoy the festivals and the music regardless of race, color or creed. However, the people giving out these Bibles aren't doing so with anything malicious in mind. They feel that they have something positive to offer people in the Bible. The articles are how the Bible has made a positive impact on different artists lives. Why is this such a bad thing? They are not there preaching the evils of rock and roll or something ridiculous like that. It's free. Take it or leave it. It's not a big deal. Actually, I think it's a cool collectible even if you are not a Christian.

Grimslath on Mon, 08/08/2011 - 12:54

I'd take a bag full of them home and dump them in the recycle bin so they could be turned into something useful.

bouke777 on Tue, 28/08/2012 - 18:36

people talk shit here...

Ironhead on Tue, 28/08/2012 - 19:25

Pure shit - that's what this is. I also picked up some Swedish "Bön & Psalmbok" from Sweden Rock. The cover is black with a tribal style Jesus so it would catch the attention of heavy metal people. Inside there's some prayers for alcohol, insomnia, drug and PORN problems, suicidal and murderous thoughts... How about doing something yourself instead of asking an imaginary friend to do it for you? I can't stand this kind of pathetic converting, can't even imagine the horrors of the inquisitions, crusades etc.

Claudandus on Tue, 28/08/2012 - 19:49

I got one of these way back on Hultsfredfestivalen. Think it was 06 or something like that. It all seems very campy, like a "Hey kids you can love Jesus and still rock out with your dudes" kind of way. It just comes of a a cheap trick to "dupe" people into christianity.

Having nothing against Street Church in particular. Sure they have a point of veiw I don't agree with. But at least they are nice about it. They never came of as pompous or with any delusions of grandeur as many other christan groups here in Sweden do(Jehovas Vittnen, Livets ord, Pingstvännerna osv).
I could talk to them as human beings and have a civil talk about religion with them. They seem to be decent people that just wanna share their faith.
