Like Realm, this band in its earliest days had Christian members who steered them away from being a Venom/Slayer-influenced band into an "anti-Evil" band warning against Hell.  

There is a chasm of difference between this particular song and Overkill/Dream Theater/most every Christian-friendly song mentioned in that thread.  

Are you still contending that Sin of Omission is "almost" a Christian song?

The title “Sins of Omission” has religious connotations. The message is also not unlike a topic a Christian band has wrote about. 

Still got a problem?

Yes, because the topic is not written from a Christian perspective AT ALL.  It's what the world already believes!  It's sad that I have to explain this.

It's not the "topic", it's the perspective and message about how the topic is addressed.

Song of Solomon and Whitesnake sing about the same topics in different ways.

Get it?

Meet me in the parking lot after school and we’ll settle this.

I already know that secular lyrics are in most cases HOT GARBAGE, whether or not they have profanity or blasphemy.  I do not idolize these rock demi-gods and respect their thoughts on the world.  Seems some of you are in denial IMHO.

I am already fully aware that Dark Angel and Artillery, even at their most clever and poetic, have lyrics that only a fool would put stock in.

Yes, singing about/glorifying wanton violence without context is just as evil as singing about wanton sex without limits.

Sometimes they're jerks, though.

We all have good days and bad days.

Completely contradictory... such an obscure and confused window to look out of... one hand says yes and shows itself boldly and declares one thing in the megaphone-styling of the left while the right hand keeps its secrets hidden away in a pocket... can't imagine the battle inside that mind that must go on daily... so torn between worlds it seems...

And also BELIEVER ARE GREAT!!!

I’m a Believer that his Sanity may be Obscure. 

Uh oh… he doesn’t like my jokes.

Even Weird Al would agree he went off the deep end.

I think you were in the right, and nothing you said was really bad or anything. I think you handled it all rather well, there were just a couple times (can't think of exactly when) where you did seem a little antagonistic... Though I can't say I wouldn't have done the same thing myself.

Well the Deicide mockery thread was the most immature thing out of it all. And people got a kick out of it!

My jokes are in the PG-rated realm. I didn’t break any rules. The guy wanted to feel like he put me in my place for some reason. He wouldn’t let it go and he didn’t make any sense! You know the saying, “rules for thee, but not for me”. He was losing his marbles over a Testament song while he put a non-Christian song on one of his albums. 

I hate when I answer a question multiple times and another person just ignores it and keeps coming at you. There comes a time it gets comical or insane.

Nope. I've never seen ANY hints of that.

Same though. I personally consideres ToB starting the Deicide thread very funny.
