Over-the-top or gone-to-far?

There are admittedly some Christian bands whose lyrics that I find rather off-putting, like Bride, from they're lyrics I get the impression from Dale has no respect for anyone who is not a Christian, which IMO makes sound like a douche(also not a fan of Deliverance's "What A Joke either for suggesting that homosexuality is a joke, when it's anything but), likewise Ted Nugent's lyrics sometimes get too "conservative" for my liking, he sounds like a very unplesant person to be around.

I don't take bands like S.O.D. or MOD seriously, so they're lyrics don't really bother me. For me one of the most off-putting songs lyrics wise is Galactic Cowboys "If I Were A Killer"
I absolutely HATE it when people say abortion is murder, to me it's an incredibly ignorant view to have, it pisses me off to no end when brain-dead morons like Rush Limbaugh and Victoria Jackson try to compare abortion to the Sandy Hook massacre, that's just downright despicable. Regardless of how you feel about abortion, I think it's a womens rights to choose and men have NO place to try and step on womens rights(unless they're the father of the child) sorry for getting a little off-track there.

and i feel just the opposite. I enjoy lyrics that point out how people go to great lengths to save the seals or [insert cause] but condone killing unborn babies. It is totally ignorant that just because you couldnt keep your legs closed and couldnt keep it in your pants that person is 'a choice' but it is horrific that a whale is stuck on the beach or polar bears die. The very same people who say that all life is sacred are the same one's advocating for disposing of unborn babies if its inconvenient. Pointing out hypocrites in metal is classic and is not reserved just for those who do not like religion.

I was tempted to reply as you just did but I decided to just ignor it to keep the peace or wait til someone else spoke up. I'm so with you on that. The idea that a fetus is just a mass of flesh like a wart or a mole that can be removed at the will of the person the blemish is on disgusts me. I am glad there are some bands that speak up against this horrible practice as your more likely to find metal/rock bands who support it. It's good to have some bands that give alternate views from the rest of the crowd.

This board is a place to discuss music, it is not a forum for an abortion debate.

Closing this thread before this gets out of hand.
