What Christian Music Like 19 Lions Represents

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.

The Roman Empire conducted a meeting called the Counsel of Nicaea where the basic concepts of Christianity were decided. The empire had grown too big to manage, and it was believed that they could use the one-God notion in order to unite all of the people of the empire. Once a small and obscure cult of rebels, Christianity became the reason for the expulsion of the Jews and the burning of the witches.

The Wiccan and Pagan communities still refer to the Dark Ages as The Burning times. Their Book of the Law was created in order to push secrecy in an age of fear within ancient communities who had been rocked by death and torture from the Catholic church. So great was their fear, in fact, that they fought the intrusion through secrecy rather than outright warfare.

Christianity seeks to convince the individual that they are born flawed and sinful, by no fault of their own. They are taught to beg forgiveness from a God called Jesus who is not really God, but is. They are told to submit to the authority of a church in order to be saved, and through this salvation, they claim, the human soul bound for a pleasant afterlife.

According to Christianity, without salvation one will endure physical torment in a lake of fire where their flesh will burn for all eternity. Of course, these ancient Catholic bishops claimed that no one could even speak to God or Jesus except through them, and for generations they prohibited the general population from being educated. It guaranteed power, money, and authority for religious institutions for all time.

It would seem that the Roman Empire never fell. It simply changed form, and now calls itself the Roman Catholic Church, and it has a history of war, corruption, and mass murder on an epic scale. Rome continues to be a power to be reckoned with in the world, via the Vatican, which is considered a separate country from the rest of the Italian peninsula.

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.

Even now Christianity holds its fingers tightly around the necks of human beings, and Gospel music is just another way to push this agenda. Rock and roll music should be about rebellion, sex, love, and the total joy of living. Human beings can never beat the church until we refuse to accept its precepts, and approach life with the joy and mystery that should be ours.
