This Christian concern is in fact cultural imperialism and also racism in disguise. We should ban instead music that is firstly electronic and secondly that does not praise the Lord.
I'm going to quote another poster, because they express my thoughts on Christians banning music.Cetacea wrote:Praise Him with tambourine and dancing; praise Him with the strings and flute. Praise Him with clashing cymbals; praise Him with resounding cymbals. (Book of Psalms)
It would appear that people who try to ban music have no love of God
God Rocks!!!
I am a Christian (which is rarely relevant except to ask people to please not associate all Christians/people with a faith with sentiments like that).
No music should be banned. No-one should force their beliefs on other people. If someone does not like a particular type of music, they can always not listen.
It's a very simple, but effective, solution.
I think this is a little naive. There must be laws to promote good behaviour.
And listening to/appreciating/enjoying music that began in other cultures is not racism. My goodness.
What do you mean?
