To the Christian death

and Christian black metal scenes,

I am pleased

there are those who follow Christ

who enjoy harsh and brutal metal

Lyrical themes about

killing demons

and eviscerating devils

is dangerous and petty

Pure hate is pure poison

Saying words of violence

just to offend the other side

helps nothing

Christian metal should be

spiritually wholesome

entertainment for those

who accept or tolerate

Christian values

Dear Gracious Lord,

I pray that we can all

set aside words of violence

toward hate and intolerance

and replace those with words

of love and acceptance

We come together

through You oh God,

not through

the spirit of antithesis
