I found this whole interview very frustrating to watch because they kept asking Akercocke questions then talking over them when they realise that the "Devil worshippers" have something valid to say and a genuine point to make.
PPS - there was one last part with a woman in the front who made the line of the evening to the 2 christians. 'You do not have a right to be a moral signpost for ANYBODY!'
PS - the show put forward the band's most extreme elements to portray them in a 'disturbing' way. That said, there's no denying said elements would offend some, but those kind of people deserve to be offended ANYWAY, because offence is a byproduct of insecurity in your own belief system and thus proof that you don't truly believe in what you say you do. Also, watch the Christians try and rally the audience around 'battered wives' and youth - appealing to security is a traditional fascist tactic!
Satanism is a metaphor for individuality. Devil worship is something else. Free speech is absolutely essential but we cannot tolerate intolerance from anyone or anything. Akercocke, on the other hand kick ass, even if they make slight asses of themselves. But then again, so does virtually everyone else on this segment, who are far FAR more blindly biased, dogmatic and arrogant. The imagery and symbolism of extreme metal is DESIGNED to rile people up and spark debate. Long let that continue.
Awwww christians are offended??? Well, le'ts ban christianity for insulting homosexuals, non-believers and free people. Fuck christianity, live free, die well
Although personally I love Akercocke's music and agree with their philosophy, I have to say the band's representative on the right came across as far more of an arrogant dick than his counterparts. His friend looked really pissed off with him near the end when he started laughing at them. Perhaps he shouldn't have been drinking before the interview. I feel let down as a metal fan and free-thinker being represented against the forces of dogma. Marilyn Manson does a better job but his music sucks.
Akercocke should be allowed to express their beliefs as long as they do not prevent others expressing theirs. Akercocke doesn't prevent anyone from believing what they choose. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't it say in the bible, "Embrace thy enemy."
people are all talking about the band or the opposition ; what people fail to recognize is the biggest trickster of all ; NOLAN ; he didnt bring them on the show as he was concerned about poor little listeners , he brought them on to play them off against specifically selected audience members , to create controversy for his own personal gain. Fuck Nolan , biggest bullshitter on the NI airwaves , constantly reminding us of the divisions in our societies to get a wage.
"The god squad want to ban everything that is against them".
Most religions (esp Christianity) are based on FEAR, not LOVE. Fear that if you don't let god into your life terrible things will happen. I grew up a catholic (not practising for nearly 25 years) and i got taught in school that it was a SIN to miss mass on Sunday.
The 2 guys in Abercocke sounded well educated & intelligent. I knew the god squad would lose their temper eventually. They always will when faced with reason.
@terencej72 Nowhere in the bible does it say that becoming a Christian will prevent bad things form happening. In fact, it says the opposite. There's a reason the cross is a symbol of that faith, it's not SUPPOSED to be easy street.
but there's one guy i do agree with and that's the guy at 08:22 saying '' The God Squad want to ban everything they don't agree with'', that's just how it works, religion is the real evil of our society, so creds to bands like Akercocke who manage to stay true to themselves and do what they believe is right, that is more than what any religious fool would do.
What a messy fucking TV-show, they don't even let the Akercocke members express their opinions without talking in their mouths, the only people they let speak are the brainwashed christian idiots because i guess those are what the people want to listen to, also judging by the nutheads sending in messages to the show.
Oh too the person who said "It's just screaming. Anyone can do it." That person is WRONG! It's not easy to scream or growl in a metal band, you may well sound stupid. Okay?
Akercocker aren't even satanists. They just use their music to represent satanism... stupid shallow people, with no respect for different music genres.
@MISANTHROPY647 Both sides were making fools of themselves? What the hell are you talking about? David and Jason weren't making fools of themselves. They were pretty well-spoken and articulate. Every commentator, the host and the two guests were beyond foolish, asking stupid questions, talking like superstitious peasants from the Dark ages and bitching about content-that obviously came from sacrilegious people wah! wah! (apart from this response fuck religion)
@GoatBorn Nah, that's bogus. Everyone had their say. Maybe it was disrespectful and childish of Jason to laugh at one of those guest's comments on Christ but then again I have absolultely no respect for religion especially Christianity. Christians are dupes. But when Jason says "Wrecking the minds of youth people with heavy metal!" with tongue-and-cheek and sarchasm, you realize how stupid and susceptible these people are.
even though I'm a Christian. I do agree with Jason Mendonca about censorship being bullshit. I listen to Cannibal Corpse, Dying Fetus, Dethklok, Dark Tranquillity. I am an extreme metal.
i want to shake the bands hand as well as the man at the end .....as for the rest of them .....well...everyone dies at some point so if they kick it before me im gonna laugh over the grave.
I like how it was all pitted against them and they rise above the crap. It's funny to think all those people actually believe and fear a fictional character which is equal to that of a child believing in the tooth fairy.
The host cut the band's actual words of wisdom from their tongues several times while letting the two blind muppets spew shit from their mouth until the audience's sanity implodes.
The audience unfortunately did not bring a debate which made the religion side look like they were right.
But who could ever win against it.
Organized religion is a master of deception with thousands of years of experience.
@steelinferno88 To be quite fair, this was made by BBC Northern Ireland and parts of Northern Ireland, still see relatively high concentrations, in comparison to other parts of Ireland, of devout evangelical protestants mostly coming from Scots-Irish unionist background who are a subset of Irish society so to call an entire people cunts is a broad statement. To call that particular subset of people cunts would be a little more incisive. Still too broad though..... :P
Furthermore, I think that's something else these people missed as a very important point. Akercocke weren't, didn't and DO NOT shove their ideology or beliefs down anyone's throats. They clearly stated they were INVITED to come play a show in Belfast. That also means that the people who showed up to see them went there WILLINGLY and PAYED MONEY to see them perform. They were not FORCED to see the band. The ignorance of the people on this show is atrocious. I feel sorry for Akercocke doing this.
This wasn't a fair argument. Akercocke hardly got ANY time to speak or voice their opinions or rebuttal against what the audience members, the host or the two Bible Thumpers on stage were saying. It was a completely biased interview, a waste of Akercocke's time and I'm sure they had the last laugh when they played a kick ass show in Belfast and everyone who attended to enjoyed it.
Not sure if I agree with either of them. This was a retarded interview, the 2 extremes of religion trying to get their point across to one another. And the interviewer has NO neutrality during the interview?! As an atheist all I can say is that its quite sickening to watch.
Wow... this was entertaining. Also love the SMS comment at 2:26: "That's not music, it's people screaming. Anyone could do that." How much more retarded can you get.
since the first of january ireland has a blasphemy law ... like pakistan (not punished with death like in pakistan but up to 25,000€ pushiment ) freedom of speech-> dead now ...
When losing the argument with a Metal band who are a thousend times more talented and smarter than yourself. ignore logic. throw christianity at them, and interupt them all the time. also. fuck satan trying to invade the Irish. I mean its not like the Christians have ever started a war. or a crusade of sorts.....oh wait
Again and again. Christian dumdasses show the level of their ignorance. I am not a satanist or a satan worshipper but I do respect Akercocke. IT IS STILL JUST A BAND!!! If you don't like what they are saying, don't listen to it, you pussies!

What i hate about satanists is that they never mock other religions like islam. why? because satan wont be there when muslims will be slaughting them like pigs. As weak they are, they attack at weak ppl (christians) using ''freedom'' as a weapon to pass their own bullcrap. The funniest of curse is that satanists actually believe that they are smart just becase they dont believe in talking snakes but believing into man-goat god.
I do not live in Ireland, but they said: 'We don't need this rubbish here', but I guess the Irish people (Keltic) did not want their christian rubbish a 1000 years ago. Pathetic christians, they should be banned, and all those who follow this idiotic religion, or Islam and Judaism, Satanism and all this bullshit.
nearly 3 minutes in and im turning this off because its going to REALLY piss me off soon. fucking retarded viewers as well as presenters. "What's great about the antichrist?" what a stupid fucking question.
2:35 "thats not music its people screaming HURRR DURRRRRR" fucking retard who wrote that.
Its funny they talk about these amazing musicians invading their god-fearing country, yet the christians have been going into other countries and forcing their rediculous religious beliefs on the coutries' population and either enslave or murder anyone that stood between them and dominating that country, its so fucking hipocritical to hea them say that, it annoys the fuck out of me, maybe they should have a taste of their own medicine and quit forcing religion down peoples throats!!!!!
This interview was conducted very poorly. Akercocke had almost no chance to explain their beliefs as they were constantly being interrupted by the Christians, and the Christians couldn't speak because they were being interrupted by the host.
@lordmagga Did you really expect any differently? Shows like this don't conduct themselves in a way that's fair to all involved. They're there to grab your attention, shock you, and keep new information flying at you every other second.
Fools in the TV station. If they had stopped to listen to the band members they would have maybe understood. 6:07 "we are normal law abiding citizens, we believe in protecting children, women and animals and not wasting love and kindness on ingrates and we are anti-christian because ... etc." Makes perfect sense to me. They are not 'evil' at all. Christianity is what is EVIL and that is what Akercocke are getting at. The Christians are blind sheep for being decieved by it.
@deathblackthrashing Ha you're a common blind metal kid sheep. (I like metal by thwe way).Of course Satan, the deciever will tell you he's good. Christianity teaches loving your neighbor..treating others as you want to be treated, to not murder, steal..so on. That's evil? Here is where you predictibly blame Christianity for people who abuse and twist it. Common. True Satanism is the inversion of Christianity. You're so blind, it borders on stupidity.
@ThunderBullitt No, I am blaming Christians for doing these things, I never said that it was the bible's fault even though its the worlds longest game of telephone.
@GoreSmasher Ok, I will explain. I believe Satan to be good and God to be the deciever of mankind. I believe in kindness towards my neighbour, not loving him. I believe in treating others how they treat me, since that is only fair. I do NOT believe in killing or stealing. They do not 'twist' or 'abuse' Christianity. They follow its fundamentals of homophobia/sexism, disregard of animal life, suppression of human nature, indoctrination of infants and hellfire to unbelievers. Sounds pretty evil.
@deathblackthrashing But killing and stealing are human nature. You're already contradicting yourself. The Bible never taught to conquer lands in the name of Christ (crusades). It teaches homosexuality is wrong. It does not teach to hate and attack homosexuals. Parents indoctrinate their children with everything the believe, no matter if it's religion or table manners. Disregard for animal life? Where in the new testament does it ever do that?
@ThunderBullitt Killing and stealing might be in some people's nature, but not mine. Besides, depending upon the situation, killing is not always wrong. You say it teaches not to attack homos, then why were they put to death in the middle ages? The Bible told them to. Manners have to be taught for social order, indoctrinating religion is child abuse and should be a crime. The Bible tells the Christians that they control the animals and that the humans are better.
@deathblackthrashing Of course humans are above animals. Do you not eat meat? If not, do you not devour living plants? Killing and stealing are human nature period. You'd be lying if you say there's no situation where you've thought about or would think about stealing something. If you wouldn't kill to protect family and loved ones, you're pathetic. the New Testament never says to kill homosexuals. The New Testament states that it's the law of the heart and replaces the old testament of law.
@ThunderBullitt And, more, I am a vegetarian and I've NEVER thought about stealing. I would only kill to protect which would be the right thing. Humans being above animals is a moral structure coming from human selfishness and bigotry.
Ok, and how about they stop printing the OT so people don't get the wrong idea, then?
@deathblackthrashing Yes those who do not believe will suffer eternally.. If Christ is the only method of salvation, then it's common sense. It would be wrong to not warn those in danger. Sexism? The bible teaches to honor your wife and mother. If you care this much about sexism, you should really focus on other cultures and religions that really do abuse and oppress women. It's not that you actually care about these things. The truth is that you try to find noble reasons to hate Christianity.
@ThunderBullitt Yes, unbelievers and followers of other religions burn in hell, and that makes your God and your Christ psychopathic evil genocidal monsters. Of course honour your wife and mother, then why have women been suppressed by the Church for centuries? I do care, that is why I hate Christianity. You are a self-righteous bigot.
@deathblackthrashing Can you not read? Those who are abusing women are not following the teachings of Christianity. You're blaming Christianity for faulty Christians. Man's soul was separated from God through disobedience. When a person dies without reconciliation from Christ, the person's soul leaves in permanent separation (hell). It's the person's fault, not God's. The truth is you find any reason you can to hate God, no matter how illogical the reason.
@ThunderBullitt Also, I don't want to be warned of Hell. I don't want your preaching, I don't want to convert and I don't want to worship any God but myself. I'd rather go to Hell thanks. Some people don't want to be saved.
@deathblackthrashing You say you want to go to hell, but you have no idea what it is. You're completely ignorant of what it is. The rape of your soul...all senses alive and more sensitive than ever. The fact that you lump all the followers of such a huge group into one stereotypical class makes you a bigot. You're close minded and judgmental. It's common. You come up with these faulty reasons to justify a hatred that would be there no matter the reason.
@ThunderBullitt Ok, I just read your other comments. Those who abuse women, homosexuals, and children are all following the teachings of the Bible. Now, is the bible different to Christianity then? Ans, why does your God not let all good people into Heaven? Why only the 'chosen people' AKA the Christians? If your God were a good and loving god, and had scientific proof, I would believe in and accept him. Sadly there are elements with Christianity I cannot accept.
@ThunderBullitt And, I do not 'lump them all into one group'. I have many Christian friends who are nice people. They are not holier-than-thou bigots like you.
@deathblackthrashing Christianity is evil and good depending on who is choosing that particular religion. Any religion, whether monotheistic or polytheistic, can be good or bad. The blind sheep are those christians who believe in god because they are scared of going to hell. That is weakness and fear of the future. But I also think that it takes a great deal of courage to put your faith in a higher power outside of yourself.
@deathblackthrashing You are choosing to have faith despite the fact that you have no empyrical knowledge to base that faith upon. Generalising an entire religion makes you as ignorant as these irish assholes
@deathblackthrashing I'm gonna go ahead and end the discussion. Your mind is closed so it's pointless to throw pearls before swine. As a Christian, I can tell you harbor far more hatred than I do. You also seem much more judgmental. It's common hypocrisy among those who have hatred for Christianity. The evil trying to make the good seem evil. Hope your eyes will open before it's too late. I won't be back to read anymore responses. Peace.
@ThunderBullitt Really? I am evil? I know who the hypocrite is here. I am judgemental with reason, not without, and I have good reason to hate Christianity. I'm not saying you are evil, but I am not. And I am not 'decieved by Satan into evil trying to make good look evil' or any Christian nonsense like that. I do not wish you any harm either, I just wish you would step down from your selfrighteous pedestal. Peace to you. I don't hate Christians, I hate Christianity.
why dont they just accept that just as someone believes in god, someone else can believe in satan. Seriously. You want respect, christians? You have to give to recieve. Fuck sake.
@Zarkiv Geddon BAH, Organised Religion "can" lead to any amount of crimes committed in its name., Christianity is no different. If you like the music so be it, if you support the message it gives so be it. The music and and message aren't mutually exclusive, take how you want. BIG UP THE METAL GOD, oh hey your sat next to me. lol
Akercocke are not Satanist.They are bluffing.I mean look at Deicide.They used to call themself Satanist when they first started.Now they not cos they have pretty much everything going for them.Money,motorbikes,house and so on.Maybe Akercocke don't have that yet.Who knows.Even through they make good music doesn't mean they are what they think they are.Thank God I,m an Atheist.Hail Satan.Doom and Gloom.
I like the way the guys from Akercocke resemble Jesus more than the "Christians". (and not just visually) Jesus (as portrayed in the gospels) was actually quite mild mannered and wasn't afraid to diss people who belonged to oppressive religious groups (the Pharisees). Did the dude really exist? Who can say?, But the words attributed to him were twisted and taken out of context over generations and used to create a vast machine of the type of dogma and intolerance that he stood against.
People who blames rock music for "corrupting" youth and all that stuff are often just bad parents who can't raise their children properly. I'm a rock fan since 12 years ago (I'm 21 now) and I never needed to kill anyone, burn churches or something like that. I've met some of my best friends because of rock music, and certainly I'd be dead or at least with serious mental problems if I didn't had rock music to cheer me up sometimes. So learn to raise your kids before blaming rock music.
Okay, here's the deal: even if Akercocke were satan-worshippers, what the fuck does it matter? It's offensive to pretty much ONE religion, and they need Satan to tell "good" from "evil" anyways. And besides; if they were satan worshippers, IT'S WHAT THEY BELIEVE. It's not freedom of speech, it's freedom of living. I know the Northern Irish are walking, talking churches (talking A LOT), but it doesn't change the fact.
i ent been listening to akercocke that long, but i love them. i'm 14, yet i don't worship satan, i'm atheist. i also don't go out and kill people coz of this music. in this, you can clearly see they (akercocke) are level headed, whereas the christians are bigoted, and only seeing their point of view.
I like buddy in the green shirt at the end says, "Where do you drew the lyan between what guud fer society" blah blah blah I like how Christians seem to think that they need to be the protector of what "they" think is right and good for complete strangers. (society) self righteous schmucks. Are they not afraid that all this judging will not come back on them in that great and terrible day? (You know, the one they always are talking about when the unbelievers all get sent to hell to burn forever.
I love how the guy in the green tshirt says about the 11 rules of satanism about if someone crosses your terratory you destroy him blah blah, when it states in the OLD testament that if someone tries to convert you to another religion kill him, or if someone sleeps with your wife kill him with a club. And they have changed the testament which is highly retarded. You cant change a religion. It defeates the purpose.
The fact that they make music about satan etc doesnt mean their satanists. They might be. But they might not be. They just explore the ideas of them and put it in their music. Like more death metal bands with gore and stuff. They dont do it. They just put them for shock value and it suits the genre.
I'm christian and I listen to Akercocke! I don't take in and follow what their lyrics dictate to me, only a satanist with a strong individual mindset would, I listen to them as stories of another part of life and religion that everyone must be aware exists... plus the music is fucking awesome XD
I love Akercocke and I'm a Christian. I don't derive my beliefs from bands and only a fool would. I love everything from Akercocke to Slayer to Stryper to Believer and lots of other bands. However, the interviewer is far too biased in this video. You'll have extremists in anything and everything and they'll find things to complain about. Christians, Satanists, Jews, Muslims, Athiests, Agnostics... there are douchebags in each of those groups and then there are people that are cool too
@yprimerib there cannot be extremist atheists because atheism is that LACK of belief, so a communist could be an atheist, a democrat, a republican, a vegeterian, a racist, etc.
@gbortuhno actually atheism is the belief that god doesn't exist. It's just as ignorant as saying god does exist as there's no evidence to justify that either interpretation is correct.
@krasherr As far as my logic lets me understand this, 'God' could be ANYTHING due to the lack of evidence to support his/her existence.
Also, being offended means nothing. "Someone spoke something bad about the lord and the next morning I woke up with leprosy" When you get offended, the most you can do is get over it.
someone texted in saying it wasn't music and that it was just screaming?surely forgot to realise that the band had more than one person, and that the other guys apart from the singer aren't just standing there to look cool, they are playing instruments. oh dear. They should have had a much less biased presenter, and it could have become a more interesting debate/discussion. If I'd have been akercocke, i would have asked, what's so great about god?
What a terrible interviewer, he constantly lets the Christians just talk over his other guests, often at the same time.
This is just Bad TV. Anyone who knows how to interview would have perceived that we ALL know what the Christians think, but won't know what Ackercocke think, and would have let them talk more.
I notice that one of the first restrictions of freedom of speech that springs to the mind of an Irish Christian is not being able to talk to children about sex.
love the band.. not in anyway intrested in satan or watever.. .. . why is it even a issue? the band play to what.. a few hundred people? who BROUGHT TICKETS to see it.. they aint out in the high streets harrasing people with their music, like so many christians with their flyers and stuff.. telling me im going to hell if i dont accept god an all that... christianity is a bigger threat to sociaty the
A prime example as to why the majority of the world hates christianity. Ignorance is only bliss until shit hits the fan. All organized religions demote individualism. In other news, I'm starting the Church of the Grundalord. Untaxed salary--err-- donations appreciated. All proceeds will benefit the promulgation of this new-found religion (and not my savings account.)
Even so, catoholics in Ireland give monetary support to people who think like the christians in this video. I consider it to be hypocritical to be a freedom believing catholic while it is clear the church's open agenda is against solidarity, and it is especially hypocritical to defend the choice of religion by saying "not everybody in this religion is like that" - why? Because of the monetary support they give to an organisation preventing solidarity and overall wellbeing.
for any Christian to complain about Akercocke and their message of so called hatred toward religion is despicible. What about the child molesting that has happened for YEARS behind the walls of churshes etc? Grow a pair, accept that some music is individualistic eanough to stand out with a strong message. After all, it's just music :)
@insision Your point is valid indeed, however I doubt that christians will ever stop complaining lest the entire world conform to their subliminally pedophilic standards of righteousness.
@multisonus "What uh, what makes you think you're welcome here in Ireland?" "Well we were invited, they invited us." Such an ignorant display of brainwashed dolts trying support a religion that was forced upon their country not all too long ago. Bravo mainstream media! /slow clap
It's amazing that the christians loose face immediately with the first question... seriously :(

To call that particular subset of people cunts would be a little more incisive. Still too broad though..... :P

Furthermore, I think that's something else these people missed as a very important point. Akercocke weren't, didn't and DO NOT shove their ideology or beliefs down anyone's throats. They clearly stated they were INVITED to come play a show in Belfast. That also means that the people who showed up to see them went there WILLINGLY and PAYED MONEY to see them perform. They were not FORCED to see the band. The ignorance of the people on this show is atrocious. I feel sorry for Akercocke doing this.

This wasn't a fair argument. Akercocke hardly got ANY time to speak or voice their opinions or rebuttal against what the audience members, the host or the two Bible Thumpers on stage were saying.

They are not 'evil' at all. Christianity is what is EVIL and that is what Akercocke are getting at. The Christians are blind sheep for being decieved by it.
deathblackthrashing 11 months ago 28
@deathblackthrashing Ha you're a common blind metal kid sheep. (I like metal by thwe way).Of course Satan, the deciever will tell you he's good. Christianity teaches loving your neighbor..treating others as you want to be treated, to not murder, steal..so on. That's evil? Here is where you predictibly blame Christianity for people who abuse and twist it. Common. True Satanism is the inversion of Christianity. You're so blind, it borders on stupidity.

@GoreSmasher Ok, I will explain. I believe Satan to be good and God to be the deciever of mankind. I believe in kindness towards my neighbour, not loving him. I believe in treating others how they treat me, since that is only fair. I do NOT believe in killing or stealing. They do not 'twist' or 'abuse' Christianity. They follow its fundamentals of homophobia/sexism, disregard of animal life, suppression of human nature, indoctrination of infants and hellfire to unbelievers. Sounds pretty evil.
deathblackthrashing 7 months ago
@deathblackthrashing But killing and stealing are human nature. You're already contradicting yourself. The Bible never taught to conquer lands in the name of Christ (crusades). It teaches homosexuality is wrong. It does not teach to hate and attack homosexuals. Parents indoctrinate their children with everything the believe, no matter if it's religion or table manners. Disregard for animal life? Where in the new testament does it ever do that?
ThunderBullitt 7 months ago
@ThunderBullitt Killing and stealing might be in some people's nature, but not mine. Besides, depending upon the situation, killing is not always wrong. You say it teaches not to attack homos, then why were they put to death in the middle ages? The Bible told them to. Manners have to be taught for social order, indoctrinating religion is child abuse and should be a crime. The Bible tells the Christians that they control the animals and that the humans are better.
^ All explained, my friend.
deathblackthrashing 7 months ago
@deathblackthrashing Of course humans are above animals. Do you not eat meat? If not, do you not devour living plants? Killing and stealing are human nature period. You'd be lying if you say there's no situation where you've thought about or would think about stealing something. If you wouldn't kill to protect family and loved ones, you're pathetic. the New Testament never says to kill homosexuals. The New Testament states that it's the law of the heart and replaces the old testament of law.
ThunderBullitt 7 months ago
@ThunderBullitt And, more, I am a vegetarian and I've NEVER thought about stealing. I would only kill to protect which would be the right thing. Humans being above animals is a moral structure coming from human selfishness and bigotry.

deathblackthrashing 7 months ago
@deathblackthrashing Yes those who do not believe will suffer eternally.. If Christ is the only method of salvation, then it's common sense. It would be wrong to not warn those in danger. Sexism? The bible teaches to honor your wife and mother. If you care this much about sexism, you should really focus on other cultures and religions that really do abuse and oppress women. It's not that you actually care about these things. The truth is that you try to find noble reasons to hate Christianity.
ThunderBullitt 7 months ago
@ThunderBullitt Yes, unbelievers and followers of other religions burn in hell, and that makes your God and your Christ psychopathic evil genocidal monsters. Of course honour your wife and mother, then why have women been suppressed by the Church for centuries? I do care, that is why I hate Christianity. You are a self-righteous bigot.
deathblackthrashing 7 months ago
@deathblackthrashing Can you not read? Those who are abusing women are not following the teachings of Christianity. You're blaming Christianity for faulty Christians. Man's soul was separated from God through disobedience. When a person dies without reconciliation from Christ, the person's soul leaves in permanent separation (hell). It's the person's fault, not God's. The truth is you find any reason you can to hate God, no matter how illogical the reason.
ThunderBullitt 7 months ago
@ThunderBullitt Also, I don't want to be warned of Hell. I don't want your preaching, I don't want to convert and I don't want to worship any God but myself. I'd rather go to Hell thanks. Some people don't want to be saved.

You come up with these faulty reasons to justify a hatred that would be there no matter the reason.
ThunderBullitt 7 months ago
@ThunderBullitt Ok, I just read your other comments. Those who abuse women, homosexuals, and children are all following the teachings of the Bible. Now, is the bible different to Christianity then? Ans, why does your God not let all good people into Heaven? Why only the 'chosen people' AKA the Christians? If your God were a good and loving god, and had scientific proof, I would believe in and accept him. Sadly there are elements with Christianity I cannot accept.

But I also think that it takes a great deal of courage to put your faith in a higher power outside of yourself.

I like the way the guys from Akercocke resemble Jesus more than the "Christians". (and not just visually) Jesus (as portrayed in the gospels) was actually quite mild mannered and wasn't afraid to diss people who belonged to oppressive religious groups (the Pharisees). Did the dude really exist? Who can say?, But the words attributed to him were twisted and taken out of context over generations and used to create a vast machine of the type of dogma and intolerance that he stood against.

People who blames rock music for "corrupting" youth and all that stuff are often just bad parents who can't raise their children properly. I'm a rock fan since 12 years ago (I'm 21 now) and I never needed to kill anyone, burn churches or something like that. I've met some of my best friends because of rock music, and certainly I'd be dead or at least with serious mental problems if I didn't had rock music to cheer me up sometimes. So learn to raise your kids before blaming rock music.

Okay, here's the deal: even if Akercocke were satan-worshippers, what the fuck does it matter? It's offensive to pretty much ONE religion, and they need Satan to tell "good" from "evil" anyways. And besides; if they were satan worshippers, IT'S WHAT THEY BELIEVE. It's not freedom of speech, it's freedom of living. I know the Northern Irish are walking, talking churches (talking A LOT), but it doesn't change the fact.

And they have changed the testament which is highly retarded. You cant change a religion. It defeates the purpose.

Because of the monetary support they give to an organisation preventing solidarity and overall wellbeing.
