Nothing sinister about it, although i agree that many of their songs warned about the perils of black magic. |

| Major User ID: 574846 United States01/05/2010 10:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Interesting perspective: Quoting: Anonymous Coward 857657[link to www.transbuddha.com] A lot of dummies will listen to Black Sabbath without understanding the positive messages in many of their songs. (this refers to the original Black Sabbath, 1970-1978) NOPE! There is no such thing as "Christian Rock and Roll". There is Rock and Roll music. There is Christian music. |

ANGELS?...[link to www.chick.com] Zec 12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. Psa 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, [and] all the nations that forget God. Jer 6:2 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate [woman]. STOCK UP NOW. You should have at least 6 months worth of basics for every member of your household. Stay away from crowds when trouble starts, do not forget water storage, tobacco is worth more than gold or silver, and be kind to hungry children. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 849249People who don't like Black Sabbath have not been exposed to the right material, that's all. What are you into? With a little info I could put together 10 songs that would suprise you. There's something for everyone with Black Sabbath. I'm not too fond of Signatures. Why would I want to end every post the same way? |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1055550  Australia08/02/2010 08:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What makes you think they are Christian? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 687593"The ghost of violence was something I'd seen I sold my soul to be the human obscene How could this poison be the dream of my soul? How did my fantasies take complete control, yeah?" Try looking at those lyrics in context. That song is about learning a very important lesson. Money, fame, power etc, cannot buy happiness. They are delusions of grandure, and in reality can only bring misery, not happiness. The lyrics describe a person wising up to their own foolish choices. Hence the song title Megalomania. Read the lyrics to the whole song, you'll see it. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 857657Black Sabbath band members had a dark gothhic, almost evil, look to them and yet the lyrics to many of their songs read like christian sermons. So where in a christian sermon does biting the head off a bat come in?? |

Read the lyrics to the whole song, you'll see it. I guess it's open for interpretation. Still my impression of their lyrics is that they represent some kind of gnosticism. This is from the last album, "Never say die", with Ozzy on song. |
