I am sorry, but I just can't see how anyone can justify listening to music that doesn't glorify God. If it doesn't glorify God, then obviously, its glorifying the Prince of Darkness. Why fill your mind with that type of blasphemous music?

Yeah, if ain't up, it's down.
One thing's for sure; you are a fucking idiot.
"Why fill your mind with that type of blasphemous music?"
So we can recieve the commands of our dark lord which are hidden in the music, duh.
I am sorry, but I just can't see how anyone can justify listening to music that doesn't glorify allah. If it doesn't glorify allah, then obviously, its glorifying the Prince of Darkness. Why fill your mind with that type of blasphemous music?
Fixed.
I can never get the binary thought patterns there people show. If it does not lie well within the predetermined parameters their priests set for them, it is evil. No question, not thought, just BURNKILLDESTROY!
My computer does not run Macintosh, therefore it runs Windows.
False dilemmas are douches, you should get Linux and study your logicology.
This sort of statement is extraordinarily revealing about the way fundamentalists think. If you're not with us, you're against us. If you don't let us teach our religion in public schools, you're mandating the teaching of atheism. If you don't put "In God We Trust" on our money, you're infringing our religious freedom. If we don't persecute homosexuals, homosexuals will persecute us.
The idea of a society where everyone's rights are respected is completely alien to their mindset.
Is there a passage in that book that says music is only for God? I didn't think so
I'm sure they can bullshit one up from an out of context phrase though. Seen this argument a few times. Never made any sense whatsoever
From another post in that thread, regarding the "The Sold Their Souls For Rock & Roll" video(s) the thread is about:
"I ordered the 10 hour dvd for $39 because i want to show this to my kids and my brother who is a drummer & loves Led zepplin. I can't wait to get it. There was a 3 hour one for $29 but the $39 has 6 more hours of stuff with newer artists etc. added."
First of all, it isn't either-or. However, I would still allow this argument if morality were a zero-sum game (less good=more evil, more good=less evil). It isn't, because some actions and thoughts carry absolutely no moral impact. For example, if I were to pick up a pencil, it would be neither a good act nor an evil act. Nor would it be morally gray. It would just be an action, with no moral or ethical implications whatsoever.
To put it a more wiseass way: I just opened a door without mentioning religion! Hail Satan!
"If it doesn't glorify God, then obviously, its glorifying the Prince of Darkness."
If it doesn't glorify the United States, then obviously, it's glorifying North Korea.
If it doesn't glorify my alma mater, then obviously, it's glorifying the rival school that usually beat us at the football games.
If it doesn't glorify fire, then obviously, it's glorifying water.
If it doesn't glorify me, then obviously, it's glorifying Hitler.
"I am sorry, but I just can't see how anyone can justify listening to music that doesn't glorify God."
Oh, easy-peasy. It's because a lot of really great music has nothing to do with glorifying your imaginary friend. Plus, a lot of music which does glorify your fictional deity is truly terrible.
No, just because my shirt isn't white that doesn't mean it's black. Plus, no music which does not clearly state it's glorifying "the Prince of Darkness" is glorifying "the Prince of Darkness."
I am sorry, but I just can't see how anyone can justify listening to music that doesn't glorify God.
Because the stuff about god blows chunks.
If it doesn't glorify God, then obviously, its glorifying the Prince of Darkness.
If it isn't snowing then it's obviously raining fire. *peeps out of the windows* Huh, imagine that, no snow, no fire.
Why fill your mind with that type of blasphemous music?
Because the Dark Lord commands me to listen to music so as to acquire my sour which will be the one needed to overthrow your god and turn you into his minion after which time you will spend the rest of eternity licking the jam from between our toes.
You let me violate you, you let me desecrate you
or, you know, it could be glorifying no one. Such as instrumental music, and other music I'm too tired to think of atm.
HARD...ROCK...HALLEJUAH!
It's the arockalypse!
It's all true, I assure you.
"Happy Birthday", the alphabet song, movie and TV soundtracks, the "By Mennen" jingle... hell, even Sesame Street is in service to our dark lord.
On reflection (said he, posting a second time!), Gospel music is hardly the music of worship. It's about people putting on a performance that is there to be enjoyed on the basis of the singers being on an ego trip and the listeners enjoyying their tripping too. Not much to do with gawd at all really. Epecially if there is a leaf singer who all but chokes on the phallic microphone.
Reminds me of a South Park song:
"I wanna get down on my knees,
Go Eric Cartman!
Good old Christian absolutism. Anything that isn't with me, is against me.
Isn't this a fanatical/terrorist worldview?
Oh wait, yes it is.
"YEEEAAAHH SATA... ER, I MEAN GOD!!!!!"

This rabbi is more fun than you, b_o_c. Your life must be so dull with such a black-and-white worldview. Well, I guess a varied outlook isn't needed in Fundieland.
It's just music, you fucking moron. It's not supposed to glorify anybody or anything. It's just pleasing arrangements of sound that people dance to, relax to, just listen to, or even mourn to. Why does everything have to have a religious purpose for you arseholes? And why do you have to thrust your paranoia about music on to the rest of us, who believe in neither your God nor your devil?
Most modern religious music sucks, anyway, because its purveyors don't have the feeling for it. Some old worship music is okay I suppose, whichever religion it comes from.
fergus
I listen to Iron Maiden, the Sex Pistols, and Marilyn Manson.
What are you gonna do to fucking stop me bride_of_christ, you cuntbrain?
If you hate freedom and all that it entails that much, why don't you live in Iran or Saudi Arabia? Last time I heard, USA was known as the Land of the Free.
Why do you hate America, bride_of_christ? (okay, I live in the UK, but we have as much freedom to listen to whatever we like too.)
When I saw Iron Maiden last year, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven.
All together "666, THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST."
er God made the Prince of Darkness too. That means songs praising him are really praising Gods creation.
all together now,
I fell in love with Sat-an,
What glorifies God is subjective by all means:
Otherwise, the black and white thinking in the original quote makes me shudder.
"I just can't see how anyone can justify listening to music that doesn't glorify God"
As opposed to, say... what? One word: Stryper.
I weep. And annihilated argument much, b_o_c?
You know there's a thing called a grey area, right? Here, let me explain it to you:
Let's say we have a long horizonal bar, with one end being completely white, and the other being completely black, and it gradually fades from white to black as it flows. The middle part would be grey.
Now, if white represents holy to God, and black represents Satan worshiping, the grey area would be everything ****ing else.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
