i don't see why people argue about satanism as a religion because it isn't ! you cannot call the devil a god because he isn't ,he's a fallen angel ! Also the only reason their called slayer is because ,they were called dragon slayer originaly , but they decided that the name was shite and shortened it to slayer .
People talk about slayer and Tom being Catholic, but I don`t think he`s Catholic like the hardcore no kissing until your married ass-backward people, merely that he was raised Catholic and believes in a Catholic god. Doesn`t mean he worships or prays or even respects that god. Just believes it exists, along with satan.
Seriously man, I get so tired of hearing bullshit like this... I idolize the singers in some of these bands because of the amazing and fucking insane music they produce, just to find out that they don't even believe in the shit they perform... If he really is a Christian, why the hell would he make such songs as "Disciple" where he screaming "God hates us all" and influence hatred, evil, and violence upon the masses?
he has even said, "music is art. Art can be a reflection of society." Just because he sings, "GOD HATES US ALLLLLLL!" doesnt' mean he holds it true to his heart. He can be Christian and say that too. All you haters can fuck off because you don't even know him personally so how the hell can you judge him.
Goodshit people! Where does anyone get off on judging someone? How do you know what's Tom's or the rest of Slayer's views or beliefs are? They entertain us with sweet bliss thats all! They're not missionaries for satan. Satan only wet dreams that he could have Slayer for minions.
of course if he believes in the catholic faith its not going to affect his "art" so to speak. but im pretty sure if he had the right relationship with god THEN thats totaly different. he just believes in it, was raised in it, whatever, but im pretty sure he cant call himself a man of god.
TM2009 you took the words right outta my fucking mouth. Im believe in god and i love slayer that dosent mean i worship satan or something like that im not putting you down or pushing my beliefs on anyone that does worship satan.Its like TM2009 said "Wether you believe in God or not, its the music that Tom plays, not the belief behind it."
im catholic and i have the exact same views of haven and hell as Tom does. you'll never no. maybe the bible was written about something different like a superhero.
Dudes im a christian and Slayer is pretty much wat i listen to all day. Slayers lyrics may be scary but to me theyre awesome lol. And respect theyre music their in my opionion the best band ever!!
The lady conducting the interview seems shes just out to get him, trying to make him look bad especially when she was asked if she believed in god and her answer was she didnt know....
don't be stupids tom is not catholic he is just playing to confuse idiots ...really, do you think the vocalist of SLAYER could be catholic? do you now what is a catholic one? come on
Don`t get me wrong, I love Slayer, but I see no point to follow a religion if you`re not 100% into it. There`s no point to say you`re catholic (or anything else) if you disagree with some (or maybe lots) of points. I see that way, you`re 100% catholic (or any other shit) or you`ve no religion, but see some good things and agree with some points of the Church.
Kerry has written most of the lyrics. Cept for a select few, you'll notice Kerry's have many evil and satanic view and references. Tom has written about war and such things.
Guess that he is taking something like Hesse said on Demian. About duality of things. Why should be afraid of "darkness", if it is in some kinda way human.
People need to stop tearing him down about his religious views and stuff. He IS Catholic and that's quite obvious. But like he is saying, the majority of Christians believe what they believe BECAUSE they are scared of the truth. He's just the opposite. He's not afraid to look at the dark point of views. It doesn't make him any less of a Catholic, it just makes him a different type of Catholic, though he is obviously devoted. He's more of an Arayatholic lol.
He is polite and even though he may write dark songs that deal with death, anger, violence, destruction, killing and dying, he doesnt let it affect his believes and he is just a good man really, i like him very much.
Tom's a real articulate and seemingly nice guy. It would have shocked me back when I was 12 and losing my head to his singing and music to find out that he was like that!
Seriously now, it's Tom's own personal beliefs, who gives a shit about anyone else's opinion? I'm a Christian and I love SLAYER, you guys' opinions don't mean a damn thing to me, and thats exactly the way Tom feels. Its his personal belief and you should respect that even if you don't believe it. Wether you believe in God or not, its the music that Tom plays, not the belief behind it and he's said that HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of times.
besides that they dont take there lyrics seriously at all. if you read the lyrics that hanneman wrote and compare them to kerry kings they are actually different. especially Tom's.
Kerry kings lyrics are more satanic and more Antichrist. Tom and Jeff's lyrics are just Dark.
i acually belive that "disciple" by slayer is acaully true, i stilld do. but how can a person that creates those types of lyrics not have any truth in it at all?
well, first of all Tom Araya is not catholic (yes,he WAS RAISED in catholic family and community) but it dosen`t mean he believes in thid bulllshit..if he does show me the video. he DOSEN`T WRITE lyrics he adds up something to Kerrys lyrics and sings. Most of lyrics by Kerry King..and yes he is atheist.

Most of lyrics by Kerry King..and yes he is atheist.
Dude he's stated in interviews that he is catholic. He's also stated that he believes Jesus came down to earth to teach man to love one another. I think Tom sees music as art, and understands that he can produce art without having to believe in it as religion.
i love slayer..there one of my favorite bands...some people cry about satan shit in their lyrics..GET OVER IT..if your a christian dont fuckin listen to it if it offends you...thats why u have a choice when you go to the music store..it isnt like your being forced to buy slayer...TOM ARAYA IS GOD
Tom Araya is also a catholic. which is cool. i as a christian and a fan of slayer really respect the fact that they even see the lyrics as entertainment
But dudes, alot of people to say that the likleyhood of "Satanism" Becoming mainstreem is very possible. Most people today view "Satanism" as a "Lifestyle" not a religion. But even if Satanism did become mainstreem I wouldn't join it, I'd rather live my own life than living it a way that some "Thing" want's me too.
"Welcome to the horror of the revelation Tell me what you think of your savior now I reject all the biblical views of the truth Dismiss it as the folklore of the times I won't be force fed prophecies From a book of untruths for the weakest mind I keep the bible in a pool of blood so that none of its lies can affect me" - Ya gotta admit, it's no wonder that people think they're Satanist (which they're not). People are afraid of true Satanism because of it's "fool-proof" name. It ain't that bad.
it pisses me off when people stereotype metal and label it as "satanic".so i tell them its called THEATRICS. its like going to see a scary movie, its not real and the people going to see it dont believe in it cause its a movie. and not even half of all metal bands sing about satan, i would say roughly 30% even mention religion.
You're right but real Satanism isn't as bad as they make it out to be. The REAL ones: LaVeyan Satanists, don't worship some devil, because they don't believe in what it says in the Biblical texts. If anyone worships an evil deity called "Satan", they are Christian! Only they're against what it says, which is just plain stupid...
actually, hes not satanic; in an interview he said that like kerry king) hes more like an atheist although he was born into a catholic family; he also said that it is a great fun for the band to see all the fans shout their evil lyrics and take it serious; but slayer doesnt take the lyrics very serious he said because the music is the most important fact that made slayer become the most brutal metal band in the world; im also a slayer fan but i believe in god and i dont take the lyrics serious
hes not satanic your obv jsut a narrow minded fool who is like oooh he has long hair and doesent beleive in god and plays metal music he MUST be a satanist . .. .you sad sad person
what a fucking idiot. "uhhh we sing satanic lyrics because if there's good there's evil. shock value." gee, i can take myself seriously listening to this band, for sure. if theres land, there's water. but no one wants to sing about fucking water. no shit there's evil. and i listen to metal, almost exclusively. but this guy is such a fucking moron. slayer is all about shitty, boring riffs and corny lyrics that they don't even believe in. fuck slayer.
you know what your problem is.........you need to cheer up a little and so what if things dont make sense or there no meaning to em slayer are an awesome band and hopefully always hill be now go have a wank
so what if things don't make sense or there's no meaning to them?
people like you are the morons who just think that really loud fast shit sounds cool and it's fun to go to concerts and get shitfaced. no passion for inspired music.
ok alex slayer doesn't mean Satan Laughs As You Eternally Rot! the press gave them that name but they never meant that at all when the chose Slayer! and Tom is from Chile and he did go to church! and are you sure Dave Lombardo is Cuban? i know he was born there but i don't think he was actually of Cuban descent
Thats quite a big misconception though, they say Hispanic because people from Hispanic countries can range from blacks (eg: Dominican Republic) to pure anglo saxon white (Argentina and Chile). I just find its bullshit since alot of my Chilean friends are white.
umm I guess, they use the temr because usually people from latin america can be of any colour, but for me I consider Chile mostly a white country because it really doesnt have a native black population and such
Y este pendejo de donde salio??? native black population in Latin America, are you a dumbfuck?? Chile is a mix of indigenous, mestizos and white people. And it's definetly NOT a "mostly white country". Pinche Canadiense pendejo.
Did your mom fuckin drop you when you were born???? just analyze what you said about "a native black population" in Latin America. If you still wanna argue go ahead.
the point i was trying to make before your uneducated ass interrupted me with insults, is that Chile is a mostly white or white mestizo country, Chile and Argentina are both probably the most European of the Latin American countries. thats what i was trying to say.
miren la bola de pendejos ke se ponen a discutir en youtube, no mames la neta este tipo de gente da pena. NO TIENEN VIDA. Y el Tom Araya es un pendejo que ni sikiera habla español. Consiguase algo que hacer porfavor
yeah man, tom is from chile, awesome country very goods bands in general, good essene, cute womans, good beer ... chile is greeeeat !, i saw slayer in my country (hellnezuela kick ass!) chech "slayer en venezuela" respect 4 slayer ("Satan Laughs As You Eternally Rot")
he said in a recent interview with revolver magazine and they said he hasn't quite lost his faith. besides, kerry king and jeff hanneman write all the lyrics.
I love your sarcasm. Kerry King and Jeff Hannenen write the lyrics. Besides, Tom used to go to church with his father when he was a young boy in Chile.
I guess he has lied in interviews in the last few years abou that then. Hell, just a couple months ago he talked about relgion and family on Sirius 27(satellite radio).
Yea i know, me and angusjailbreak (the guy i responded to above me) already talked about it in a couple of other messages, he does believe in God. At the time i didn't know that.
i don't see why people argue about satanism as a religion because it isn't ! you cannot call the devil a god because he isn't ,he's a fallen angel ! Also the only reason their called slayer is because ,they were called dragon slayer originaly , but they decided that the name was shite and shortened it to slayer .

ok alex slayer doesn't mean Satan Laughs As You Eternally Rot! the press gave them that name but they never meant that at all when the chose Slayer! and Tom is from Chile and he did go to church! and are you sure Dave Lombardo is Cuban? i know he was born there but i don't think he was actually of Cuban descent
MetallicaSlayerGNR 5 years ago
if you are born in cuba i would imagine you would be cuban.

"Lombardo" sounds Hispanic
I'll bet he is
ultramegaunknown 4 years ago
Lombardo is from Cuba and Tom Araya from Chile.
which makes anyone calling slayer "racist" a complete idiot
BongOfCthulu 4 years ago
not completly, because Chile is mostly a white country, Cuba I can see them darker because of the large mulatto population (african & spanish)
blackmagik66 4 years ago
Still. that is a multi-ethnic band! not a bunch of aryan pride nazis
BongOfCthulu 4 years ago
i thought it was a hispanic country
thekingdomofthedead 4 years ago
Thats quite a big misconception though, they say Hispanic because people from Hispanic countries can range from blacks (eg: Dominican Republic) to pure anglo saxon white (Argentina and Chile). I just find its bullshit since alot of my Chilean friends are white.
blackmagik66 4 years ago
err wait hispanic is another word for 'latino' if thats the correct word
thekingdomofthedead 4 years ago
umm I guess, they use the temr because usually people from latin america can be of any colour, but for me I consider Chile mostly a white country because it really doesnt have a native black population and such
blackmagik66 4 years ago
Y este pendejo de donde salio??? native black population in Latin America, are you a dumbfuck?? Chile is a mix of indigenous, mestizos and white people. And it's definetly NOT a "mostly white country". Pinche Canadiense pendejo.
Caduenas 4 years ago
lmao I got my Chilean friend to translate what you wrote, and seriously, fuck off you piece of shit dirty mexican border hoping motherfucker.
blackmagik66 4 years ago
Did your mom fuckin drop you when you were born???? just analyze what you said about "a native black population" in Latin America. If you still wanna argue go ahead.
Caduenas 4 years ago
the point i was trying to make before your uneducated ass interrupted me with insults, is that Chile is a mostly white or white mestizo country, Chile and Argentina are both probably the most European of the Latin American countries. thats what i was trying to say.
blackmagik66 4 years ago
Now you're thinking. Glad to read you're able to use some of your gray matter.
But I'm still confused, how am I the uneducated one, when you were the one who couldn't express himself properly?
Caduenas 4 years ago
miren la bola de pendejos ke se ponen a discutir en youtube, no mames la neta este tipo de gente da pena. NO TIENEN VIDA. Y el Tom Araya es un pendejo que ni sikiera habla español. Consiguase algo que hacer porfavor

I love your sarcasm. Kerry King and Jeff Hannenen write the lyrics. Besides, Tom used to go to church with his father when he was a young boy in Chile.

I guess he has lied in interviews in the last few years abou that then. Hell, just a couple months ago he talked about relgion and family on Sirius 27(satellite radio).

Yea i know, me and angusjailbreak (the guy i responded to above me) already talked about it in a couple of other messages, he does believe in God. At the time i didn't know that.
