I have been raised with really conservative music, though slowly we've been listening to things with more beat, but I agree that a really strong back-beat is associated with the world and often sexual songs, so that is often what our mind goes to when we hear it, even if the words are Christian. (At least for me.) Even just the sound of it (heavy metal Christian) I don't believe is worshipful and reverent. I also like Mary's comments and the Ravi Zacharias quote. Good article!

There is no way that the lyrics to a song can force someone to pull a trigger, drive a knife into someone, have sex for the first time, do drugs or start drinking. Those decisions are all left up to us in the end. I listen to pretty any kind of music, but I mostly listen to rap and alternative music. In a lot of the rap I listen to, the lyrics are about killing people and having sex and doing drugs, but I haven't done any of that. No one can blame music or anything else for their own stupid/immoral decisions. I think that music does have a certain affect on humans, but it doesn’t make them do things.

I love music. same as any other guy I listen from anything (heavy metal-dance) When i listen to a dance song it doesnt make me feel any happier than when im listneing to am metal song. Why is it so "sinful" to listen to metal music? i dont understand it. Metal music is an expression. People sing about anything, not because they do it, but because its a way to express themself. And i lisetn to loads of music but i rarely hear of songs that have lyrics that sing about rape. In the end anyway religion isnt something that i care about because i think that if weve got free will, then whats the point in religion. Youve got free will or so you think, so why not use it instead of worshipping someone that you dont know is there 24/7. Think of it as a gift. Your lifes only short so just live it to the full and if you believe in god, put him second because otherwise your wasting the "gift of free will." Put it this way.
