Rock music is evil. Really. It is!

If you don't believe me, ask the guy who wrote this anti-rock tract. Apparently rock, even Christian rock, is a long, inexorable road into Hell, with Satan literally driving you there. In a van. It must be something in the harmonics that causes demons to rise up and corrupt your otherwise innocent mind.

First things first; if one intends to denounce something on the basis of Biblical teachings, it would be a good idea to familiarize oneself with what the Bible says on the subject.

The Bible does not place restrictions of any sort on musical styles. Nowhere in the scripture does it say that any style of music is inherently evil. Of course, the message of a particular song can be evil, but that does not make the entire genre evil.

The most annoying thing about all of this is the way people argue that rock music is evil. They list a few vague and unsupported claims, and then declare rock to be evil. I get the strong impression that they just don't like rock as a personal preference (which is fine), and thus think that no one should like it (which is not fine).

I'm sorry, but I think I'll follow what the Bible says. As long as the message of a song is not promoting evil or immorality, I won't denounce a song as evil or immoral. And even if the song does promote evil and immorality, I won't say no one should ever listen to it.

Slight update

I can now post with my actual Google account, which, due to a slight misunderstanding on my part, I was not able to do previously. This is probably the account I'll use, although I may pop onto the other once in a while.
