The christian metalcore scene is in fact. I love hearing about other Religions or about Atheism. You're allowed to believe in whatever you want as long as you dont force your believes on somebody else. For me, christianity gives me strenghth in the things I do every day, for someone it might be more than that or even less. Dont compare this scene to bourgeois christians who dont understand these type of music genres and their affect on religion.

In this sense, is "reasonable" code for "anyone that agrees with me?" If you are eager to find prots who stomp on one's rosaries like trained pets before reprobates, they are a dime a dozen as they are a worldly lot.

The phrase "Holy War" doesn't entirely point to a literal holy war. This song is about extremists who claim to kill in the name of god whether it be the Christian God or others. Saying that religion is only to blame for 6% of wars may be true but they also refer to acts of terrorism corrupt politicians; anyone who commits a crime or "sin" in the name of something deemed "holy" Not 100% sure obviously as I didn't write the song but this is what I thought it meant

[@Nell-r0se]

When religions are so built into our societies that they exist in our government body, every war is a holy war. Religion as propaganda excusing our bigoted and hateful actions because they make us "holy". They don't even mention how many people die from religious intent, bigotry, ignorance, and social chastising that forces people into suicide. Christianity is the greatest plague in our world as they can humanize themselves and therefore excuse their intolerance.

[@k.v.7681]

Little bit of Trivia about Hitler and Religion under the Nazi regime: the NSDAP (Hitler's political party, that served him to come to power) got the majority of seats because of the christian party. The deal was to leave seats to the NSDAP in exchange for a law that would give the Church full control over the educational system. Every year, the birthday of Hitler would be celebrated at the pulprit.

[@achilleuspetreas3828]

[@Nell-r0se]

@@achilleuspetreas3828 It is the greatest plague for having assimilated so many cultures over its history, for controlling a large part of the western world and subsequently destroying the history and relics of the countries it invaded, for keeping us in the dark for so long and letting innocent people die just to produce a scapegoat. As a religion it is inherently flawed, drawing too many parallels to other religions while still demonizing those exact ones that it stole from, not to mention how much it could be argued that it worked as a crux for racism and prejudice based on fear, as well as how often it still results in these outcomes. Many religions are flawed, many seem ridiculous, but Christianity and its sects still spread like a plague and keep people from holding any responsibility for their actions. It breeds hate because while still allowing for those who cast their stones to feel righteous, because after all, they're only following word of the bible.

I think we need to remember when we talk about religious wars, and separate from political wars, we are ignoring the fact that religions ruled politics for milleniuns, so can we say for sure that political wars was't really religious wars too?

[@crisscrossam]

dude some countries (including my own) have religions and sects still part of, and deeply rooted, into the politics.

[@Trve_Kvlt]

Most modern wars were and are purely secular. The only major religious conflicts happening now is infighting in the Middle East, different Muslim sects fighting other Muslim sects. The Israelis and the Palestinians, Armenia and Azerbaijan, and a smattering of others. Religious wars have mostly ended, the last big ones being hundreds of years ago. But I do believe that religion breeds conflict as it creates conflicts of interest.

[@alexpenny9416]

i honestly thought i'd disagree with him on this, thinking he would say "ohhh satanists" or some other crap like that but he came in with an open mid and great points. i'm not religious but im not "anti religion" either. The issue is and always will be, people who twist their faith for their own selfish benefit or ideals. islam for instance: i know a few people who do follow the muslim faith and they are just like anyone else. but then there's groups like ISIS that claim to be the purest of their faith yet all they do is push for power and political strength with violent acts and that really puts a strain on the average muslim. That goes for any religion. there will always be extremists. The danger is when politics and faith collide. great stuff robert guys! always nice to see people being open about things they may not like, without being hateful or distasteful.

[@roberttheviking1553]

Alex Penny Yeah, I too am not religious, and, growing up, I genuinely disliked and, after 2001, hated Muslims, it took til 2011, military service and a deployment to realize they weren't all evil and they're just living their life as we do ours. Life sure is strange.

Egön Allegri Calm down, super hero. You could argue against anything. I'd rather have 1000 moderates who don't believe in science over 100 radicals trying to kill innocent people, mutilating children and raping women. Of course you can argue against religion all day long. I could, I can poke holes in those holy books til my face turns blue and you know what that would accomplish? Nothing. Nothing at all except the moderate religious thinking atheists are pompous assholes who think we know everything. People like you are the reason I don't even use the "atheist" title cause is been ruined by you and all your pals screaming the only solution is science. You don't know what happens in the end, Robert up there doesn't know what happens in the end, I don't know what happens in the end. We think we do, we have ideas, but we won't know until it's time. So if religious folk want to be religious, let them.

[@kamiraanddie12394]

@@roberttheviking1553 would you consider yourself an agnostic?

[@spawnbomb6016]

@Robert The Viking You should understand though that it is misleading when a moderate religious person claims that it is the extremists who twist the faith. In reality it is the moderates who are unknowingly or even intentionally leaving things out of their holy books to make it seem better. Extremists follow it down to the last word. This is why I think fundamentalist is a more fitting label than extremist. That being said, I’m not anti-religion to where I think religion should not be allowed at all. I just would appreciate it if people were more transparent about their moral disagreements in their respective holy books rather than apologetically writing off those immoral verses with some fallacy. I also think that it is a contradiction to say that atheists are pompous if they question the validity of various religions when religious people respond as if they should be excluded from criticism. Last, science doesn’t claim to know the answer to what happens in the end. Most religions however do. The whole point of science is to back up ideas and discoveries with empiricism. Religion doesn’t do that.

[@SortenRavn]

@Egön Allegri lol what?? 😐 Have you even read the bible? Like REALLY read the bible? Quran and bible are cut from the same cloth.. Religion can be good (and as a satanist for the past 14 years.. that say something for me to say this) Religion should be kept at home, the problem comes when you want to force others unto your own views.. As said.. i've been a satanist for around 14 years now.. but i would never forcefeed MY way of viewing the world onto others.. If you come and ask... sure, i dont mind sharing .. But in MY world, religion should br some you yourself, actively go out and look for.. others shouldnt come to you

Van Rynn wrote some pretty nasty, dumb lyrics because of a breaking relationship with his ex and because of that he started to grow his misogynism.

Furthermore (besides war) there were a lot of people killed due to religion without the need of a war. Here in Europe we had the inquisition for example, which was set up by the church around the year 1200 to be able to torture and kill the people who were "heretics" as far as the church was concerned. It was all about solidifying power / control and showing dominance over the people, hand in hand with the emperors / kings. I agree with the part that it is not the religion but the people themselves who make the choices to do horrible things, but ey.. that goes for everything. I mean people are just never able to get it together really. They fight over everything. All the differences amongst people are being fought over (for some reason, God knows why), and religion is just one more subject which people can differ on (and thus yet another reason to smash eachothers heads in). My point here is.. differences of opinion (on about everything) lead to fights, wars, killings, injustice, immorality and other shit. So we only have 2 options really: 1. Create a world without any disputes / differences of opinion (which would be really unhealthy and is vitually impossible) OR 2. We just have to accept that humanity is a nothing more than a bunch of primal apes which will never be able to transcend this retarded stupidity and which is basically doomed to repeat this cycle of misery until the end of times. The bad always outweighs the good in this world. People claim to have more intellect than animals yet they destroy everything on their path and only use knowledge for their own egocentric needs whilst leaving behind a trail of misery and malice. Only mankind brings disbalance in the world on every level. It is a disease for the planet really. Without humanity earth would be a much better place. Anybody, please feel free to correct me if you think I'm wrong on these thoughts with some good arguments, because I'm dying to be more positive but all I can see is a pile of shit.

[@JPX7NGD]

The Inquisition was the basis of modern criminal justice with trials and juries. As per usual with reprobates, you believe any lie you are told about the Church in the hopes it will help you ignore the Church. Seems to not be working. you are fallen and sinful, that you do not recognize this is why you are so confused, ignorant, and suicidal. Worshiping evil because your capital sin of pride deludes you into thinking you have usurped God, and you figure that evil is almighty only because it is stronger than you.

[@milan1715]

@@JPX7NGD bro you need help man. You are indoctrinated to the point that you fit everything inside your own little story. The inquisition was cruel and wrong and whatever the consequence of that was... It shouldn't have happened. WW2 could also been the foundation for some things we have today but does that make it a good thing? You're wicked in the head man.

[@Hunter-bm6ss]

Mister Magician ya buddy keep thinking that because it has been historically proven that most of the wars were peasants promised that if they died in battle they would get a free pass to heaven so they went around raping and pillaging villagers and villages and most of the time never even made it so don't even fucking dare to touch that because you will lose

[@Omen_Fang_Official]

I always enjoy these videos, as it is hard to find someone to have such an unbiased view coming into these music genres

[@socam1293]

Emo Weaboo you think these videos are unbiased views? Your sadly mistaken my friend. He may be open minded enough to listen to these songs, but by no means is it unbiased. He says at the beginning that he will put the perspective through a biblical filter. That is not unbiased.

[@Omen_Fang_Official]

@@socam1293 I understand that he may be putting the music through a biblical filter at the end. But he comes at the music without a premade opinion. THAT is what I mean by unbiased. If all you're gonna do is troll people's comments. You should find a life.

[@socam1293]

Emo Weaboo it’s not trolling. It’s called conversation, which you have engaged in by replying. If you think it’s trolling then don’t reply.

[@socam1293]

Emo Weaboo if someone wanted to have a conversation with you in person do you tell to stop trolling you. Didn’t mean to make you butt hurt over it. Relax, it’s just a conversation.

[@roberthoughton7127]

Emo Weaboo thanks for the original comment. I understood what you meant. So Cam, I enjoy your desire to discuss things. I've read a good portion of your comments. I cant always engage but I appreciate that you're trying to dialog with people. The Reality is Noone is truly "unbiased". We ALL have filters that we see the world. Some of the artists view of Christianity is skewed by misinformation and/or trauma. MJK, for example, is one who hates Christianity (so it seems) partly because of an experience. Thy Art is Murder seemed to be misinformed about the facts of war and spent energy focusing on a solution to the wrong problem. In my opinion. I'm only trying to not be the "stereotypical close-minded" Christian and help people navigate through these lyrics from my worldview. Remember this started out as an experiment for my youth group.

[@thejebdude3241]

I like Thy Art. They are a good band and have made some great albums. I may disagree with some of their lyrics, but in this song they make some valid points that I as a christian can kinda understand where they are coming from. When people use God as a weapon to hurt others, it is wrong. Because God is love, God is not a manifestation of hate.

@Seth Amador it is true stalin commited murder, it is true unreligious bodies and congregations commit murder as well. But burning educated women, selling people as sex slaves and turning citizens into sheep over a terribly written diachronic narrative, how delightful. Maybe father will make "love" to some children. Go thump your mirage stories and project your own religion somewhere else, dogs that beckon stories and murder for old dudes just arent worth paying attention to. If thats the best argument you have at the face of a world issue is to excuse the bloody hands by using others bloody hands as example? Please you cannot erase the sexist, racist cruelty that degredates the very meaning of being concious that is the profiteering puppet master, labeled religion directing our "moral compass" there is no divinity. I said you may choose to believe whatever religion you so choose, if that was not taken in then clearly readressing a argument is out of your grasp and you should not be debating anything. However stalin was a psychopath, he has about as much to do with religion as a inflatable sex doll.

[@theentity8621]

The heart of man is wicked? All organisms are wicked and act on carnal desire and instinct, acting above those two things is our best bullshit hobby. The cure is going to be ourselves once we procreate and overcompensate our existence and pillage the resources out from dead soil. Or become so hopelessly addicted to disctracting ourselces that we inslave ourselves past a survival increment. Here is fact, were all the same whiny greedy babbling something that gives nothing seperates itself as a "demigod" organism but steal everything we know and love from other organisms and biochemical structures and environments. Our mood is basically chemical reactions to stimuli, in hindsight we control nothing but force orher organisms to adhere to our violent regimes desires and actions. And no god will be saving anyone from themselves, even a godess. We all eventually get killed or kill ourselves in the process of life, never to be saved from our death. The greatest illusion we run from is the narcicistic dilussion of gradeur that we hold as barely sentient chimpanzees with slower problem solving scores. That ant on the ground is no more valuble than the contents of my words or the beating in your chest. This is reality, the futile future failure leading to our fatality breeding tradgedy but never seeing killing for which to believe in ready to meet our end and destroy in name of creation in name imperfection left not breathing as our problems fill the ceiling never to meet a perfect being.

[@theentity8621]

When in womb creatures only can understand are comprehend survival and quite possibly parental or simple ideas of love. Our perceptual identity and idiosyncrasies are projective qualities we observe and integrate from other organisms and environment. Hatred, violence, anger is all a later life concept. Probably a society thing i would predict. From the age of 6 or 7 you are placed into a environment and taught what is or isnt possible what you can and cannot think how you can suceed and how you can fail. Later on youll learn socialization, laws, social structures and ques. Every step of the way religion and the government teaches all of us who and what we are and whom to be. Your parents and friends accept ideas as they become culturally normal and things that are abnormal become ridiculed. Now the basis of these ideas were rotted in violent history of violent men of violent natures we wait for a savior or to die to be ourselves, in a society that makes the collection of rainwater a federal offense. Everything people fight for in their structured society are just meaningless distractions used to not see the impact we cause in our daily lives as walking death machines, ATMs corporate greed advertising ourselves to whatever will listen.
