What Christian Music Like 19 Lions Represents

By Donna Moore


Rock and roll music has long been an avenue where those with a religious perspective push their beliefs on young people. Bands such as 19 Lions attempt to convince young people to get on their knees and submit to the authority of a church. It teaches them self-hatred and subjugation to an institution which, historically, has done more harm than good.

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.

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.

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.

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.
