Here are some disturbing lyrics from a popular rock song:
I see a woman in the night with a baby in her hand
By an old street light near a garbage can.
Now she puts the kid away and she’s gone to get a hit
She hates her life and what she’s done to it
There’s one more kid who will never go to school
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool
Keep on rockin in the free world.

Chew on that for a while you anti choice people.

tyler,
I would venture to say that David never existed and we have no idea who wrote the Psalms or any of the other books in the Bible for that matter. Everyone agrees with at least some of the statements in the Bible. But that doesn’t make any of them true.

On the topic, I think the best answer could come from Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, ch. 6 v.12. “Everything is permissible for me, but not everything is helpful. Everything is permissible for me, but I will not allow anything to control me.” But I do agree that we, as the Body of Christ have more pressing matters at hand.

Bernie: "All we are is dust in the wind - Kansas. There’s just a little too much truth in Rock & Roll for the average evangelical." I'll do you one better Bernie..."Man is like a mere breath; His days are like a passing shadow."-Psalm 144:4. This song was written well before Rock & Roll's exsistence. You almost sound as though you agree with the "evil Bible" as you so eloquently put it. I would also venture to say that David was a vastly more prolific writer than Kansas guitarist Kerry Livgren (who derived the song from Native American poetry, btw).

Tripp:” Seriously, we need to drop this and go find a homeless person and buy him some lunch and tell him about Jesus.”

I’d say that was a really good idea!

Tripp: ” It’s just music. Only those with weak minds will get sucked in.”

First of all we should always help our weaker brothers and sisters, we should care about them as if they were our own family.
Secondly, IS IT ”just music?” Music can be used (like many things) for good or evil, and there is some evil music out there you must admit. Music can sooth the soul or fire it up, it has a life of its own which can either stimulate someone to do good or bad. We must be careful what we listen to….it is not just our ears that receive it, it is our spirits aswell. And as Christians we cannot afford to let anything in that will defiles our new life in Christ.
