"Christian Metal & Devils Horns!" Pastor Bob DAILY! 

The whole horns up expression started with Ronnie James Dio and he explained it as an Italian gesture to fight off bad luck and evil spirits. So in a way, it is a good symbol.

I think the symbol have many meanings to different people. But symbols hold no true power. We use the "Devil's horns" to show our unity as metalheads and our love for heavy metal music. We don't use it as a way of worshiping satan. It's all about what's in your heart!

Dear Pastor Bob, I'm a staunch, militant atheist, however, I do, truly appreciate a Christian like you. A level headed, rational man with faith. From the other side of the spectrum, so to speak. Thank you. The world needs more Christians like you and less fanatical fundamentalists. Your God bless you.

1 Thessalonians 5:22 : Abstain from all appearance of evil.

According to Ronnie James Dio he used the fingers in that formation because Ozzy had used the peace sign when he was with Black Sabbath. Dio said he saw his Italian Grandmother use the malocchio gesture to ward off 'The Evil Eye' or Curses from others. I think we do want to be considerate that our practices not be intentionally offensive. I agree with you that interpretations of some things change with time and culture.

This guy is more like Christ than most preachers/so-called "advocates of the Lord"

Move the thumb to the side and it becomes "I Love you" in sign language.

why is this guy always making excuses for "christian" musicians not setting themselves apart from occult bands. Symbols in the occult are used to identify an occultist to other occultists below the awareness of the general populace. For a christian to use occult symbols is flat out signaling that they are givin' over to pagan doctrins. Take stryper's use of the "dark fallen angel" on their albums...this clearly represents "demons" , "lucifer" or "backsliding rebellion" symbols are NOT BENIGN!!

There are people out there who look at Pastor Bob's "dress code" and call that "evil"! lol! What about metal guitarists who are Christians like myself? The Lord said it best friends, "People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." 1Sam. 16:7 Good word Pastor Bob! God Bless! \m/ :)

I have always used it and simply think of it as the metal sign and nothing else.

i have always been taught that, the symbol meant "Rock On"

For me it has always represented "Rock On!". No religious or biblical meaning whatsoever. If you turn the hand around it means "I and "L" in sign language. It is used in some parts of Italy to ward off "the evil eye". You will have people say the hand in that position forms three 6's (666). You see what you want to see.

omg im not a christian. and i love this dude

Thank you for this video... I used the 'Devil's Horns' at a 'Lacey Sturm' concert, until I realized that people were staring at me... I honestly made that sign, and put my hand in the air cause I love her music!! I guess, how it all started was that 'Gene Simmons' wanted to 'wave' at 'fans' in the crowd, but couldn't because of the guitar pic, he'd hold the pic with his thumb, and middle finger... I watched him talk about that... So,... Yeah.. To me it's a symbol of greeting, and love for the music... And that's all! Thank you!

The "devil horn" hand gesture means "I love you" in sign language, just remember to have a broader view on thing, take in and process other peoples knowledge and views.

Stryper's album cover "no more hell to pay" for example the symbols are completely unchristian. the message is that a fallen angel is freed from hell. angels coming out of hell has nothing to do with the bible. actually the message of the album art communicates a Satanic reversal. that the devil (fallen angels) are not subject to God's eternal judgement. JEsus rose from the grave defeating death and the power of hell...HE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT ESCAPED HELLS GRASP. No one will esape God's place of judgement once there. the devils message is "you will never die" "you can be like god" . this is clearly a "firebird rising from the ashes" a cherished Satanic and occult symbol. Symbols communicate very powerfully to the subconcious below people's awareness, especially while listening to loud music when they are not using critical discernment and they are in their emotions........this is how indoctrination works...overstimulate someone, bombard their senses and then use a symbol or image to speak into their subconscious mind below their awareness.

I know the bible talks about this sort of thing when the early Christians asked if they should eat meat that was sacrificed to idols. They were told not to ask if it was sacrificed to an idol or not. By putting such importance on it we act as though the power of the idol was real and it's not. Most people do that sign to mean a love for metal. There is not power in that sign. If my 4 year old daughter draws stars that look like pentegrams, there is no evil in that.

Is there something evil about music? no there isnt. However, music can be used to sin through the lyrics used or the intent of the composition. How is metal satanic and not other forms of music satanic as well? Rap and hip hop probly have just as much un holiness, even poprock/rock which is widely used as the genre for worship music can be just as bad. Metal has its roots on classical music.. does this mean that that is satanic as well? Music isnt sinful when the intent is to glorify God.

The horns actually have a very Roman Catholic background....Ronnie James Dio (R.I.P) saw his grandma giving others that sign if she saw someone giving her what she deemed to be an "evil look" or "evil eyes" and so she gave the look back to them, except she used her hands and did this "\m/" The name "Devil Horns" came well after it's creation....devil horns aren't evil, at all. They're no more evil than the hippie peace sign...

Plus God takes things and changes the meaning my band mistakingly used a pagan cross once for our christian band. Instead of stating it was evil we said this symbol is no longer that of the devil but it is now used for the Glory of Christ. Just like us god changes the meaning of things.

I always look at it as a heavy metal salute.

Well, either way...the origins of it are not evil, (assuming RJD's grandma was not evil...which I'm pretty comfortable in assuming that)

The devils horns is used in italian witchcraft to call upon the god during ritual and spellwork according to italian witchcraft the old religion of southern europe by raven gramasy. Also about the only safe holidays to celebrate are the jewish holidays and the only safe marriage are jewish weddings and synagogues are the only true places of worship. But as far as metal in general do you really think that god is going to appreciate christian black metal with all the demonic voices? Before following jesus i was a wiccan and even as a wiccan i was tired of all the lyrics glorifying satan and the demonic voices that all sound the same. I got into symphonic metal with people that actually know how to sing such as dragonforce and ancient bards and with guitarists that know how to shred which is a must for me. I been looking for christian metal bands that can do the same and golden resurrection is the only one i found. I encourage future bands to do so and along with thinking in terms of using such music to turn people on to christ ask yourself this one question would this be appropriate for me to play in heaven before the presence of god? If your going to play christian metal make it a thing of heavenly beauty where the angels can sing in chorus to the praise and glory of god. Otherwise i suggest that each and every christian reading this pray to litterally hear gods voice. When i did it i openly confessed to jesus that i didn't believe that he exists but i am open to a sign that he does. I litterally heard a gentle voice that said my word is my spirit. Thats what turned me from wicca to following jesus. This is the voice that should be heard by both people that erroneously use scipture to criticize christian metal out of prejudice against it and their own agendas as well as those that praise god with satans voice. Try it it might happen to you too. And then follow that voice. Christian metal can be done but its got to be done in gods way.

Thank you, finally someone who knows the story... I hate when people go around assuming things..."devil horns" ...psht! Bob said it..."study your origins!"

I think David Draiman of Disturbed said it best, "When I ask you to show me your devil horns, it is not a symbol of Satan. It is a symbol of HEAVY F*****G METAL!!"

Originally, the "Devil Horns" were used to ward off demons, a tradition practiced by Ronnie James Dio which he learned from his mother, or grandmother,( I'm not sure which) but was shaped as a symbol for metal music today.

agree, long live Christian metal, God bless you!

Never heard"devil horns" ever. Its a sign used today as appreciation for the genre. Hes right a lot of pagan holidays and traditions are blended into society because it is a way to show love, support, and well being. Which almost all religions teach. I don't go to church because I don't like organized religion but I follow the teachings of Christ as well as i can. I'm not perfect and i don't try to be but I do the best that I can and constantly strive to be better. A lot of people today can

A heartfelt thanks Bob for your pastor's heart for people over many years of ministry. You were a great encouragement to me and it is great to hear your thoughts about many things. That insert you did for Barren Cross really spoke to me at a time when the church here in Scotland didn't know what to do with metal heads and I was very young in my faith. You are right, of course, about he the church redeeming pagan symbols. Chief of these would be the cross itself. Here in the UK many churches were purposely built on old pagan worship sites.

I am not a Christian and not very fond of the religion. You however seem like a cool person. I wish more Christians were like you. You seem very level headed about things. I think you may be the only Christian I have come across who acknowledges that Jesus wasn't born in December. Rock on \m/

why do things change but God does not why are we changing if we are to be christ like. it wrong period there is no gray area.

Also, The Lamb of God has 7 horns. The only character with two horns in the scriptures is the man of sin. Do a study on that sometime. More to think about for sure if you're thinking about how to further glorify the Father and not continuing in the many paths of the world. Our path is the straight and narrow path and few there are that find it, yet all are called. Please do in depth study on these things. Michael Hoggard is a great teacher/preacher on these things and is a man led by the Spirit of the Lord. He's made many videos concerning symbols, the whore, Babylon and the coming beast system. Please check him out. I pray that you will even if you don't agree with everything he says, yet. It took me a bit to come out of it too and to realize that I needed to stop certain behaviors. Doesn't mean we are perfect but we DO have to try. When we stumble we ask for forgiveness but we certainly are not called to continue in sin. Trying not to continue in sin doesn't make you too "religious" it's about having as pure of a relationship with the Son as we can, our ONLY bridge back to the Father. I'll pray for you all. May God bless you and keep you my friends.

Here I disagree, we should stop using it. There is nothing wrong with Christian rock or Christian metal itself, I like Stryper and their music, but many symbols should be avoided. Romans 12:2. God bless

Dear Pastor Bob, I was discussing this with a friend earlier today and she brought up Proverbs 6:13. What can you say about that? I'd love to hear your response. Blessings from México.

The Devil's Horns isn't actually what it's called. Technically it is called: THE MALOIK (pronounced Muh loi-k). It is said by Italians, that it wards off evil spirits & evil things. In actual fact it means NOTHING at all. It's all about one person or people who've done it & made it up to say it wards of evil spirits. The "sign" as it is called means nothing. But to some it means it wards off evil spirits, to some it's Devil horns. It DOES NOT mean DEVIL HORNS. Anyone can Google "The Maloik" & see what it tells you. The reason why ALOT of people today say that The Maloik is the Devil Horns, is because someone made it up in their mind it resembles a Devil head & his horns. Kind of like ALOT of people say the middle finger flipped up means "F" you ! In fact it doesn't mean that at all. Someone long ago just made that up too, and today ALOT of people believe that. Practically any finger flipped up by itself could mean "F" you. If you tell someone or show someone something & say it's this or that enough times to them, they'll believe it & say that it is something meaningful.

It's also Texas Long Horns symbol for Hook "em Horns! "

To be completely honest, I've seen all sorts of bands from Impending Doom to August Burns Red, and I've NEVER seen anyone hold "Devil Horns" up. And to clarify, the Impending Doom concerts I've been to were some of the scariest concerts I went to. Even scarier than Whitechapel concerts, which are EXTREMELY far from Christian.

Whatever you want to believe and keep as your Faith will happen to you, ... After death too, your mind will carry on, ... Jesus Christ My Lord and Saviour has washed away all my sins, and I meditate and pray and worship HIM daily, and I have such peace no Buddha, no other gods could give me, So this works for me, it might not work for all, but My living God, helps me always, and I Love Jesus , Father and holy spirit with all my heart and my soul. Amen.

Ronnie James Dio as far as I know popularized the gesture. He explained it like this his grandmother would use the symbol (the moloke) to defend against the evil eye. Some superstitious thing from my point of veiw. When it’s done at a Metal or hard rock concert it just means rock on. 🤘🏼 it’s a gesture of appreciation rather than even a religious thing at this point.

Hi Guys. Didn't the 'horn' symbol come from the Bass Player of Iron Maiden? He played his bass with a pick held between his 2nd and 3rd finger? Holding up his hand in the air made that symbol. Might be an urban myth. Thanks

If I were afraid of anything remotely pegan in church holidays, then we can all be legalistic and become JW or Amish.....where is christ in that?

Ron James Dio I believe started that trend ,I've seen every secular metal band live throughout the 80s and listen to , became Christian around 93 and fell in love with Christian metal of the likes of Deliverance mortification pod etc etc never threw up the devil sign as much back in the day and I definitely don't today ,. If someone throws me a devil sign I give them back the deuces like MikeMike Muir of suicidal tendencies does

Ronnie James Dio's Sicilian Grandmother used to always do it to ward off Evil Spirits - an old Sicilian tradition. Ever watch Golden Girls TV show? The old Grandma Sofia would do it too.

This guy is awesome!

The horns (for us in germany known as "Schweigefuchs") aren't even evil. Read the King James Bible, nowhere does it say that Satan had horns

What about headbanging? Would that be considered bowing and worshipping a band regardless if christian metal or non christian metal. I'm just curious, I'm gonna headbang regardless because I'm not a christian.

Love you Pastor Bob I would consider you a very open minded Christian like myself listening to all kinds of metal bands and not letting the negative side of the stuff affect my faith God Bless you keep rocking

Everything in this life was created by men, all words are too, except the bible, so use the things but do not go deep on meaning of things, its just a thing men created, but be careful of how you use it, and why you do it, the intent matters, like the word Witch, it also means a wise woman, but society hates and gets scared to hear this or know presence of a witch in a gathering, for she knows a lot an can harm if she wills. So always put on the armor of God, read and meditate on bible, and Lord will show you the right path to heaven, Amen.

Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect his will really is. ''Romans 12:2'' Stop leading people astray!! Jesus is not of this world!! I say this in Love, repent and turn to Jesus Christ!! you are be deceived you have to remember the devil was an angel of light the most Beautiful but he want to become God! repent!

Relate to Christian metal better than contemporary or hymnal songs because of the depth of listening and intriguing complex sounds that come with it. If you dont believe that's your choice. I don't judge but will always be willing to answer and pray about questions someone might have. Like I said I'm not perfect but I thirst for knowledge and want to be the best person i can. And a few simple rules don't keep me from being happy. It only helps.

The bible said that the very first Jesus/ God worshipers didn't call their selves "christians", & that the word "christian" was invented by Roman pagans; I'm a believer in the being that people call God (& I believe that he transformed into a human & rose from death [for reasons that can be explained]), and I wouldn't necessarily call myself a "christian" & I don't go to "church", but I enjoy researching astro quantum physics (or "new-age" science). What is your take on theistic new-age science?

We live in a fallen world, everything is broken. I never said that all music was God's music, what I'm saying is that any genre can be use to glorify or reject God. I am not worshiping metal music, but merely using it to worship God just as I do with other genres such as rock/hiphop/pop etc. What makes you think that metal is evil? is it the style, lyrics or the way the band members live? I know there are christian metal bands because they bear the fruits of the spirit while on stage and off.

Remember, Satan was created as Music Incarnate with pipes & tabrets. When he fell, the creation of Music fell as well. In Romans we read that the whole creation is under the bondage of corruption. So there goes your "All Music is God's Music" argument. Read Mark 8:34-38 & Romans 12:1-2. If we can't truly deny ourselves & repent of that obvious lust 4 Metal Worship. Then we have lied to ourselves to embrace a Crossless Christianity. Are U ashamed of the Strait & Narrow Way? See Matthew 7:13-23

I saw an interview with Ronnie James Dio, the one who started it, and he was asked what it meant. He said he got it from his Grandmother. She was an old Italian Catholic and she always did that sign to him when he would leave. He didn't know what it meant and he started doing it to the crowd because he thought it looked cool. Turns out it's an old Italian Catholic symbol to protect you from evil spirits. He said he never meant it as Devil horns. He did it as a tribute to his Grandmother.

I think it's important not to judge a person at face value. Often some use the symbol in ignorance. And he's right, they often use it in response to the music and showing they're love for it. So if they're doing that to a Christian song with Christian messages being supported, then what are we upset about? If you have a problem with it in your own life, don't use the symbol yourself. but don't judge others who do.

Bob, your right on with knowing some history of the christian church, and as a believer i for one want to do away with "christian" holidays and start celebrating the jewish holidays celebrated by believers in the NT in light of Yeshua. As for the "devil's horns", it has always been interpereted as occultic and remains so to this day. This is na case of not neven having an appearence of evil.

h t t p : // en . wikipedia . org / wiki /Sign_of_the_horns just throwing this out there. and as far as my religion, I dont have one. im not atheist, I just believe every religion has some truth and a whole lot of things that people added in for their own benefit (this isnt up for discussion on my part). well, keep on rocking folks. \m/

it also depends if the music has a dark sound, because their is symphonic metal, progressive/power metal, not all metal has a deep dark sound, i listen to this band called theocracy, they are a christian progressive/power metal band, and they help to lift me up, great lyrics in their songs, great message in each song, perfect blend, never heard another band like them

I don't really want to start anything, but I'm curious as to why you dislike metal. I'm a Christian and follow the Bible to the best of my abilities but I absolutely love metal and also play drums for a metal band. I'm not trying to start an argument or disagreement I just want to see someone else's point of view.

I'm not a Christian, in fact I'm a full-on atheist, but it is nice here to see someone who has a good idea of the mythology surrounding his faith and where we get a lot of our traditions from, how we make them our own. I celebrate a lot of Christian and Pagan traditions without even getting religion involved.

That's what I heard Ronnie say himself on an MTV show about the history of Metal Music. It was funny to hear Dio talk about how the hand gesture took off and that it came from his little old grandmother LOL. I agree with you gymcoach15 it's kind of a good luck thing.

dude do you actually mean your going to not wear a wedding ring!thats too far I disagree metal is not necessarily a sin ! im a Metalhead and a Christian I believe what this pastor is saying I believe that Christ would be pleased with the Christian metal scene !\m/

It's called "mal ochio" or "evil eye", and yes, in Italian culture, a person will use this symbol and point the horns downwards to ward off the devil. Interestingly enough, to display the horns in the traditional way is also a sign language symbol that means "I love you".

Pastor Bob...talked with you at Cornerstone Fest in 1990 or 1991 I think it was. Dang, you got old!!!:). Well, I guess I have too! Glad to see you are still around and still doing ministry. I was very impressed with what I saw of your materials at Cornerstone. Blessings!

...the MEANING!!! THAT WE PUT INTO THOSE SYMBOLS IS WHAT WE PROCLAME TO THE PEOPLE'S HEARTS....and only God knows What the INTENTION TO USE IT!!...Thats why we have to know the origings of those Symbols To Use it Correctly to Ministry our youth of todays!....KEEP THE TRUTH MY BROTHERS :-)

I think something to note here about that symbol is that, in sign language, if you make that symbol and wave your hand forward and backward, it translates into "You rock!" then if you extend your thumb, it stands for "I love you!" Great message Pastor Bob, I believe it clears up some confusion.

i agree, even though the devils horns started as an expression of satanic allegiance, today they mean exactly what pastor bob said. at least 75% of the people who do it do it as a right on metal gesture, the same as a thumbs up! Now there are still some especially within satanic black metal bands, or people who want you to believe they are satanic or evil who thrust up the horns with the original meaning behind the gesture. But most don't. It's like the word "Gay" it used to mean happy.

I don't think metal people are evil but metal music carries a deep dark message. please join in our debate on facebook "christians against slipknot". I was a metal person once. I played in bands. I lived the rock life style. It was a diversion from what mattered. A dark diversion. Metal is a gateway into darkness. If you can enjoy metal without feeling tainted and keep on being a good man, power to you, but not everyone is as strong as that. Peeace be with you David

where in the bible does it say the devil has horns because remember men made the devil to their own image by saying he is a hideous red monster with horns yet the bible claims the devil was one of Gods angels and most beautiful creation

The Horns -- blame that on Ronnie Dio. I actually riled the crowd up to raise the f*cking horns. Dave Mustaine says the horns means "I Love You" -- being I host secular metal shows as an MC but I discouraged it when Ezurate went on stage.

The bible does say not to partake in the pagan rituals. Same principals for tattoos. If you're not doing it as a pagan practice, ritual, or idolatrous in any way. Then chances are, unless convicted by the holy spirit, it's A okay :P

I know, I thought it was funny too. But you know, I think throughout the ages the message of turning the other cheek and love and peace even for your 'enemies' is being buried. Not that you are doing this necessarily, but you get the idea ;)

The horns origins are in Dio's grandmother - used for giving the evil eye to someone. Dio began the use of the symbol.

The symbol, comes from italy..... I first saw it used by Ronnie james dio, and has been growing in popularity ever since... people used to hold up their fist at hardrock concert, doesnt mean they where all socialist hahahah

No, i not believe it, cause you are dirty minded you believe the sign of heavy metal is bad. This is not fix to believe that this to split fingers are devils horn, it is depend to the meaning if you use that.

Howdy, The devil horns is actually "the evil eye". The guy who invented Heavy Metal saw his grandmother use'n the hand sign for "the evil eye" and was look'n for someth'n to use in his concert's for some reason.

lie like he said "we don't stop using the wedding ring even thou it has pagan origin " so the metal sine is just the same, it means what you want it to mean do not hate I respect your view but disagree.

You forgot your arms...or at least the tattoos. Originally, they were a pagan way of worshiping the dead, by staining the skin with their images. Yet today tattoos represent something a lot different.

Either you with God 100 PERCENT OR NOT. You cant have one foot in and one foot out. Youcant be christian and of the world. To me listening to any music about Christ isnt bad as long as you do his will.

she was a member of the theosophical society founded by helena blavatski, which was/is occult/new age. keep your eyes wide shut my friend, it will all be over soon. Yehoshua saves, God bless.

Actually, before the 1900's the 'devil horns' were used to actually fight evil, or to show that something was wrong or evil. This is actually the opposite of what you are claiming.

Satanism hasn't existed for thousands of years though, and you can change what things symbolize. Many symbols of Christianity are based on Pagan symbols and beliefs.

That book by Jeff Godwin started this all In dancing with demons he called it Tucorontu.

love this man.. he a good guy

did you know that the pentagram was originally a christian symbol that signified the five wounds of Christ and that Christians used it to protect them from demons?

I am familiar with the wedding ring and church steeple and all these other things with their pagan origins and it really can be discouraging when you start really digging deep into history

Dear Bob, You said, "We'd have to give up a lot of things..." "It's your decision, what you feel comfortable with..." But the Bible says, "Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils.", and "Be ye holy, for I am holy.", saith the Lord. You have a choice to make, Bob. Are you going to be a friend of the world, or a disciple of Jesus Christ? Narrow is the way to life, and you will give account for what you are doing, and what you are teaching people. I will pray for you right now.

Let me point out Dana W the book of Matthew states that if you have a problem with a brother to take it discuss it in private.

Bob I want to dislike you. I don't like metal. Yet I say you are a good and Godly man. Just try listening to less metal. David

All religions are good, so respect and love one another..Until the pentagram is not oppose their head to heaven..

At the end of the day it just stick two finger it the air a means nothing. God look at the heart not the symbol.

That's basically my outlook on Rock and Metal, which I love. Being a Christian, my absolute favorite genres are Christian Rock, Christian Metal and Christian Metalcore/Hardcore, and I stay away from ANY band that either is, looks or seems Satanic, because honestly, it's freaking creepy, which is reason enough for me to stay away from them. But anyway, I'll give examples: Fave Christian Rock Band: Skillet! I absolutely LOVE them! Not only are they a TRUE example of what a Christian band should, but they are very inspirational and, at often times, fun to listen to. Literally the ONLY thing about Skillet that used to trouble me was their album cover for Awake (you'll have to see it), but because Skillet is a Christian Rock band, I don't, at all, see the album cover as Satanic, but rather it symbolizes the name of the album. Fave Christian Metalcore Band: For Today I absolutely LOVE this band as well! Their music is very powerful, yet very inspiring and really gets to the heart. Side note: for those of you who haven't, check out these bands! You will be amazed! And while there's bands like Skillet and For Today that I listen to, there's also other Rock/Metal bands I've listened to that are either not listed as Christian or aren't Christian at all. Now these bands, I technically don't “listen to", as far as lyrics go. I basically just rock out to it (dance crazily, bob my head insanely (or as some call it, “headbanging")). Like, for instance, when I'm listening to a song that has lyrics that I do not approve of, but I like, say, the instrumentals and how the singer's voice sounds, I just rock out to that and pay no mind to the lyrics. The moral of the story is, the way I see (namely) Rock/Metal music, for the listener, it's considered evil if they actually USE that music influentially for devil worship. That being said, I may have heard a song before that had lyrics that I didn't approve of (may have even been satanic), yet I rocked out to it, but I didn't let that song give me certain thoughts or drive me to the point of insanity or evil influences. I rocked out to it, simply because it was of Rock/Metal genre, which is what I like. All that said, though, I still choose Christian Rock/Metal over any Rock/Metal genre, cause not only does it have, pretty much, a WAY better sound and lyrical output than other Rock/Metal genres, but depending on the bands, such as the two I mentioned earlier, it is very inspirational, very beautiful, very powerful (in a great way) and quite relatable among others, and it's the type of music I would actually recommend to others. Also, a lot of the songs are actually about God, while other songs could be about the many problems and hardships we face, or even our own personal problems, to which many can relate.

I quit doing devil horns after I got saved. Now I fist bump at concerts and hold up peace signs in pictures

okay at least this guy isn't just bashing Christian metal and he is being logical and pointing shit out

he doesn't even talk of it's history ? it's from italy the sign is to ward off evil or bad luck .

DIO . The wedding rings started in ancient Egypt around 6000 years ago.

god says and the horns of the wicked i will cut off but the horns of the righteous will be lifted

But on the real Lucifer Satan devil Beasley bub whatever does not have horns anyways

to extend... rip Ronnie james dio. I heard that that sign is used to ward of evil/bad luck
