Bands Like 19 Lions Are Not What It Seems

By Donna Moore


Rock and roll music is supposed to be a celebration of individual talent, fun, and excitement. However, there are these Christian bands out there, like 19 Lions and others, who are pushing a religious agenda. Christianity itself is a flawed perspective pushed by a poorly written collection of manuscripts attempting to convince us all that we are a collection of evil-doers.

Early Christianity was designed to unite the Roman Empire under one god, and it continues to do so to this day. How the details would play out was decided at a famous meeting called the Counsel of Nicaea. Within a hundred years, this new Roman Catholic Church was killing Jews and Pagans by the thousands.

Modern Pagans and Wiccans refer to this as the Burning Times, and they still follow old laws of secrecy which date back to this imposition of Christian dogma. Most of the outer areas of the Roman republic had no understanding of Christianity when it began to spread on the tip of the Roman sword. Had they fully understood the implications, they probably would have fought it more ferociously.

It is through convincing people that they are born flawed, and must be saved by a God who is but is not God, that Christianity began to sink claws into humanity. Once a person feels guilt for existing, then they become relieved at the notion of salvation. Submitting to the authority of a church becomes a necessity when they are told that only the representatives of the church can commune with God on their behalf.

The alternative, according to Christians, is eternal torment in the lake of fire known as Hell. Convenient that the creators of Christianity would use what is traditionally regarded as the most painful experience of death as a means to force submission on the people. Through fear, guilt, and a lack of basic knowledge and education, Christianity continues to have a strangle-hold on the entire human race.

The Roman empire lives on in the Holy Roman Catholic Church, and the human race continues to suffer as a result. To our modern day, religious differences are continued to be touted as a reason for war and slaughter of humans on an epic scale. The Vatican has total power over Catholicism, and even world leaders will still bow to its authority on many issues.

Roman Catholicism is responsible for the crusades which were waged all over the world in the name of the church. These crusaders stole entire libraries of historical human knowledge, art, and wisdom, and it is believed that much of this is stored in the basement of the Vatican to this day. Humans have been denied our heritage, and any real understanding of who we are by the Christian church.

Why would parents want their children listening to music that aggrandizes an institution with the historical weight of millions of murders on their hands. Regular rock and roll music generally speaks of love, sex, and fun. Christianity wants us to think those perspectives are sinful, but somehow groveling for forgiveness for existing is encouraged.
