[QUOTE="sweatyherring"][QUOTE="nimatoad2000"] ok so i didnt know how to word the title properly, but im sure itll get people to enter the thread because it sounds like a anti religion thread. its not.
here is my example. i have a few christian friends , all of whom are into metal. one in particular will not listen to bands like slayer, mercyful fate, or any black metal band because they are satanic / anti religious ( in lyrics , the bands themselves, at least for the most part are not) . on the other hand he is very deep into death metal, which to me is kind of ironic. he's not necisarily big on religion, he dosnt go to church every week, but once in a wile, and we often have religious discussions respectfully , him being on the religion side, me being athiest.
on the other hand i have other religious friends that listen to anything, watch anything, read anything, even if its message is completely against what they claim that they believe.
i can definately understand this, they keep an open mind and they do not take the content seriously. ( like slayer for perfect example)
so for you religious people on the good o'l OT.. whats your view? can you listen to south of heaven, hell awaits and god hates us all without feeling like a sinner, or is that kind of stuff an absolute no no for you?

Hating Slayer is NOT keeping an open mind- it is the opposite. Slayer addresses topics that many consider taboo, for irrational reasons. Isolating oneself from facets of life that one considers "distasteful" is "distasteful" in and of itself. Life is life, and deliberately trying to disregard elements of it is ignorance.
I was not addressing you, I was addressing the "others". Duh...
