Sick cultists should be locked away.
“Master Jesus” is…one hell of a phrase
Isolating people from external points of view is how abusive partners and cults maintain control over the victims. If such a person/organization lets their battered spouses or indoctrinated teens talk to “the outside” they risk questions that lead to answers they don’t want. If you find someone in your life demanding you disconnect from others, immediately take a long hard look at why they are pressuring you that way. People who genuinely want the best for others and try to be part of that aren’t afraid to operate “in the open” under scrutiny.
To be clear, I’m not saying a healthy relationship has to constantly air out dirty laundry as it were, just that forced isolation is a huge red flag.
Give me Christian Cannibal Corpse and Christian Taylor Swift and I’ll consider. Worship music is shit music and it all sounds the same.
But really this is just an attempt for isolation and thought control.
Have you never heard Christian Death Metal? Mortification is pretty heavy
I listened to a lot of Christian genres, especially rock and metal but stopped when I discovered secular bands with deeper, more meaningful lyrics, and better sound.
One can only take the same “I am terrible, he is worthy” themes repeated over and over before you gotta move on.
As I Lay Dying is a pretty sick “Christian” band and irrc, most if not all songs are about that.
But the lead singer was caught trying to hire a hitman to kill his ex wife. So there’s that.
Oh unearth is another one.
The Crucified was hard core when I was in high school. That song Pure by Superchick is pretty catchy. Jeff Buckley has some okay stuff. His cover of Cohen’s Hallelujah is clean. Unfortunately I think that’s about it. That’s the end of the list for Christian music that I like, other than choir music. I listened to a guy named Joel Weldon out of necessity when I was really young, but after discovering secular music I realized just how boring he was.
If your god can’t compete against your society’s culture, your god doesn’t have much power…
