As a middleaged guy who is a massive metalhead, i loved slayer and merciful fate, when you choose the path of the "adversary" you have to know that on the average you will have animosity toward you.i adhere to libertarian views myself i dont wish you harm, i support your right to be as dumb as you want to be or as smart. How can you look at the world today and blame christians? Your whole premise is that you are fighting the "establishment", you are not. If the ACLU has your back you are part of a controlled demolition of a moral society. Why have a satanic church if you just get together with like minded people and complain about a baphomet statue? If you in fact worship satan why? Is it because you hate good? Is it because you choose the adversary to be subversive? I respect your right to think freely. I just dont see where your beliefs beyond being your right does any good as it is just throwing evil any chance you can. Go for a long walk in the woods, look at the nature around you,and know satan did not create that.
@MetalBlast21 күн бұрын
I think I mention in the first minute that no, they don't worship Satan. The ACLU has supported free speech rights of many people, including far right supporters marching in Charlottesville, or even the Klan. Christianity, right now, has a lot of problems. Look into Christian Zionism, for example, and how their end-of-the-world cult is, quite openly, rooting for Armageddon by pushing for more and more support for Israel. Or how, by endorsing Christnianity as part of the state, reproductive rights are taken away. Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and any other fairy tale, should not be part of the government. People should be free to believe whatever they want, and they should keep that mythology to themselves. Satan does not exist. Neither does god. Nobody "created" the nature that you see in the woods.

You are certaon of many things. It doesn't matter if you think something is real if there are many others that do. All religions including Satanism or Christianity have a code somewhere it may feel great for some to praise a statue of a hermaphrodite goat, but the list of 10 ways to not be a shitbag seems like a better idea.

@@jasonpelto1164 Again, nobody is worshipping a statue. This isn't a theistic religion. Which of the 10 Commandments do you like? The one that says not to covet your neighbor's wife, ox, or donkey (i.e. women are property), the one about not having bad "thoughts", or the prohibition against other gods (i.e. a theocracy of 1 religion only). It's fine if other people think that god is real. Some people think fairies exist. They're both wrong.

Newton's 3rd for every action in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. As Lucien says rise of radical liberalism has indeed created the the rise of the extreme right. It also works in reverse and is true of any political or social movement. However as you say starting a Satanic church to oppose extremist Christianity is one of these reactions. Also is it always negative? The starting of Grindcore as a reaction to Hair metal seems a positive.

Why didn't you give them the option to remove the photo before asking them for money? You straight up told them they owed you just for innocently sharing it, which isn't very professional. If you want my opinion you're a loser who is using the band's success to try to make money for yourself, which is pretty despicable. They're the ones that everyone is paying attention to, and you're some slimy little rat trying to get your piece of the pie. It's really pathetic. Anyway how did all this turn out? Did you end up getting paid or did they remove the photo?

Metal has become the most normie friendly garbage ever. Hating a band like slayer who use NS imagery as an image, or hating an NSBM band who believe in everything AH said is no different from a punk fan listening to songs about obeying the law and upholding establishment views. In general metal heads are probably the most annoying group of music fans, and I used to be one. Imagine listening to the most edgy metal band with songs about killing babies and then gettting angry about a band named after a German gun
@MetalBlastАй бұрын
It's a normal part of something becoming normalized within society. The edge is lost. Having said that, NSBM is remarkably stupid (not only because they're Nazi morons, but also because the Nazis themselves would have not been OK with black metal); the point is that it's bizarre to see people clutching their pearls at the offensiveness of some racist idiot, as if metal hadn't been offensive from the very beginning. Without mentioning the idiocy of blaming "metal" because of the ideologies of the handful of mouthbreathing imbeciles who are into nazism.
