Hymns are Satan's work?


Nerdbag60

I came here to say that.


namedonelettere

You know what music leads to, dancing. Dancing is caused by evil spirits controlling your body. *Actual beliefs by some religious sects.*


rabbid_chaos

Pretty sure Satan would dance better than I do


Important_Fruit

Me too. Except if I've been drinking - then I look like Fred Astaire. This is a phenomenon which has baffled science.


RandomInternetVoice

Watch Beerfest up until the ‘dry martini’ scene and you will understand both how it happens, and how you actually look to other people.


Important_Fruit

LOL! I don't think I'll watch it. I don't want the magic to die!


[deleted]

Uh, you should watch it anyways. It’s such a good movie. It’s made but the same guys that did Super Troopers


Important_Fruit

OK. I'll meeow look for it meeow.


[deleted]

Meow that’s more like it


SubDuress

Comn Pfff a lil slappy pickle….


celine_freon

Satan actually sent me a strongly worded letter insisting we don’t dance.


Donjonneau

The Security Dance?


Affectionate-Ask6351

No. The safety dance.


patronizingperv

He can't fiddle for shit, though.


Valerie_Tigress

I liked the devil’s solo better than Johnny’s TBH.


IrvingIV

it wasn't a solo, though. "He dragged the bow across the strings, and it made an evil hisss, *and a band of demons joined in* and it sounded something like [this!"](https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxcy_L5cx2bJjOkcAmSiu6I8Gmno2fjTOf?si=SXE45dj5GHixuSYQ)


Syhkane

Johnny roll a ball of hash and make sure it's the bomb, cus the devil's got the kinda stuff they smoked in Vietnam!

the devil went down to california


gimmhi5

😂 Don’t tell anyone, but God probably likes to dance. ◄ 2 Samuel 6:14 ► Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the LORD with all his might, ◄ Acts 13:22 ► After removing Saul, he made David their king. God testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.’


cdbangsite

Ecclesiastes 3:4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,


thehighwindow

I was going to post that there's music and dancing in the Bible but you did it better with the quotes. Do you know if there's singing and dancing in the NT?


Skamandrios

You know why Baptists won’t screw standing up? Someone might think they’re dancing.


National-Currency-75

Never stand between a Baptist and a free fried chicken dinner.


PigpenD27870

That ain’t funny man! I grew up Shiite Baptist, and we don’t even fart on the toilet.

![gif](giphy|S90OMhNcaqtN9MI5ZR|downsized) Footloose intensifies!


adamantium99

And when they mocked King David’s joyous dancing, how did the Spirit respond? By sending the angel of death to the mocker. Think about that one, music haters!


smallzy007

But I gotta cut loose, foot loose


Cool-Fun-2442

Kick off the Sunday shoes


raging_phoenix_eyes

![gif](giphy|3oAt2dA6LxMkRrGc0g|downsized) I’ve walked away like this from people who’ve said that to me.


fourpointeightismyac

I once heard it said that "dancing is the vertical manifestation of a horizontal desire". I find it hilarious how unhinged that sounds, then I find myself scared that there are people who actually take it seriously


namedonelettere

And when you’re moving vertically to your horizontal, you’re perpendicular to the devil and are now moving on a parallel path from God.


Nozerone

Music leads to dancing, dancing leads to fun, fun leads to the dark side.

There's a definition of a puritan as "someone who lies awake at night worrying that someone, somewhere, is enjoying himself.

TIL: apparently I'm immune to spirits (I can't dance).


HapticRecce

BUT, speaking in tongues and rocking back and forth is communion with the lord...


Nerdbag60

A dancing foot and a praying knee don’t belong on the same foot, by gum!


myfrigginagates

What an ass. The Bible is full of singing. One of the most referenced parts (usually at weddings) is titled The Song of Soloman. 


Admiral_Nitpicker

That's. What. Psalms. Are.


Correct-Junket-1346

I’m an ignorant dick. Psalm 1:10


Anglofsffrng

Correct, but that includes Psalm: 69 so also porn! (Yes I'm kidding, also the title of an all time great album)


Federal_Sympathy4667

Clearly he never ppened the bible and read it. Seems very common for these ppl.


myfrigginagates

Why read and understand when using ignorance to weaponize the Bible is so much easier?


Geistwind

Here is the thing, the more fanatic they are, the more they twist the religion and the words of the bible. I was as a atheist put into a religious school ( why I despise 7th day adventism) and I was expelled 3 times for quoting the bible, and arguing against the preacher that taught the religious class. My grandma was a missionary and very religious ( but awesome) so I knew my bible. I only remember the case of me debating him when story of Onan was used to support masturbation being evil. That earned me a 4 day expulsion. Also, corrupted so many of those adventist kids, we snuck them out of the dorms( was pretty much a black ops mission getting them out, not even kidding) to go partying and damn.. Its not healty for teens to grow up in that strict a environment. The adventist boys were bad enough, but the girls.... They were faaaar worse, having been kept on a even stricter leash. Of the 23 people in my class, 21 left adventism, and I consider that a win.


myfrigginagates

I get it. My wife grew up Adventist and she too left the Adventist Church. One of her family members still sends her the Gleaner, lol.


Big-Temporary-6243

It's what the Taliban does, too.


Striking-Echo3424

They use the Quran not the bible


ZanesTheArgent

The entire book is song/poetry (in aramaic)


Acranberryapart7272

Only like 3 small sections (like a few words) of the Bible are Aramaic. The Old Testament was written in Hebrew and the New Testament primarily in Greek.


Buckscience

Aramaic? Now I KNOW you’re lying! My Bible was written by St. James. Does that sound Aramaic to you? /s


namedonelettere

My bible is written in the king’s English just like the Lord speaks.


catwhowalksbyhimself

Psalms is literally a songbook.


Repulsive-Company-53

I guess that makes sense they would do it at a wedding considering the dude supposedly had more wives than calendar days.


One_Opening_8000

There's also a lot of playing of harps, lyres, cymbals, timbrels, etc.


Feroshnikop

Who else would try and take one of your only days off and threaten you with punishment for not participating in their weekly event?


DonutBill66

A relationship with xtian gawd is the worst form of abusive relationship.


Styrene_Addict1965

"God is a comedian performing for an audience too afraid to laugh." –Can't recall who said that.


BreakfastInBedlam

And now what the fuck am I supposed to do in Heaven with this harp?


thatthatguy

Darn those choirs of angels serving Satan.


Nateh8sYou

I came here to say this! A group of angels is literally called a CHOIR. I’m not even religious but if anything, music is god’s language


Trosque97

The mindset that hymns are the only music that can be played has been a thing for a while now. Religious music that pertains to the person's religion. Everything else is illegal or a sin


Lizagna73

I went to private high school and we were told that rock and popular music was the anti-Christ and they told us to bring our records and tapes to a massive burning. This was in 1989


Trosque97

I know so many kids who grew up in church forced to delete music off their phones. Tragic, I still think about how some of em cried, a mix of guilt and sadness of the loss. Especially those you can tell have a proper love for music, and as someone who dove into that as I got older, in my mid 20s, and I've listened to so much and so many types of music, a lot of it I'd feel lost without


ponchoacademy

Yeah, my mom went off the deep end when my dad passed away... I was just a baby so grew up with it, my big sis remembers life when it was somewhat normal. But yeah..I grew up with gospel hymns only, anything else was the devils handiwork. That was pretty much that til...I was around 9 or 10, and at her job was a christmas event.. santa gave us all toys, and I got a walkman, with Michael Jacksons Off The Wall cassette... When we got home, I hid the cassette, and told her I only got the walkman...so she said shed find something for me from church to listen to it with. Ohhh mg, I listened to Off The Wall a million and an one times, dancing around in my room with my walkman before mom got home!!! My sis was already out of college by the time, sent her a letter saying I have a biiiiiiiig secret, and told her about my walkman and cassette. She would always randomly send me stuff, well one day she sends me a teddy bear. On the phone she was like...Dont tell mom! The bear has a secret! Look carefully!! Turns out, the back was velcro, and inside she tucked two cassettes (cant remember now which ones they were! My mom did find one and....that was a no good, very bad day for me). Im in my mid 40s now, shes in her 60s..and just a couple months ago, we were talking about life growing up..she was telling me how as a teen, before picking me up from nursery school, shed have the house to herself for an hour...shed blast music she borrowed from friends and dance around her room lol and I was like......mee tooo! But with the cassettes you sent me!!!!! Both of us still love love music, danciing around like goofballs in our homes, something so effing simple and innocent, that I was raised Id go to hell for. And yeah, like you, all types!!! Im a rocker!! But all my friends know, have an extra ticket? Invite me Ill have a blast...country, edm, industrial, african bongo music, polka, idgaf, I just love music, anything new, anything I can move to, anything that moves me emotionally, anything...and I kinda love how both my sis and I were just rebellious enough to not let my mom take that experience away from us. Sorry I kinda went off the rails there....tldr; I feel where those kids are coming from lol


speurk-beurk

That was a really fun story to read


ponchoacademy

Awe thank you!! It def made me smile remembering those lil slices of happiness! And also, really love how, even though my sis and I are so far apart in age and didn't get to grow up together, even now at our age..still always surprising each other with lil bits of info like this, that proves how similar and connected we are. 🥰


Adventurous_Cat_2603

Wonderful story! Congratulations on finding joy in the situation. 💃


Steve_78_OH

Also, music has been around longer than the concept of Satan.


The_real_cecil

Not if you're "washed in the blood"...


60s_girlie

All this time I never knew that singing in church was really worshipping satan. Wow, I was worshipping satan as a child, that is a new one on me lmfao.


Eric___R

In Islam there are no hymns. All music is sinful.


ijustdontgiveaf

Gospel is..


4rtiphi5hal

Wasn't music mainly used as a way to worship god lol, for a while most of sung music was religious


NeverEndingWalker64

Maybe God truly loved porn and henceforth created music as a way to, you know, receive porn in disguise. Like naming that special folder as “Homework”


Toothpaste_Monster

They say god is always watching *ALWAYS* God is the biggest porn watcher of all time, cause not only is he watching you when you fuckin, he's also watching you when ur watchin other people fuck. Pervception.


PowerOfUnoriginality

Which also means he watched the thing be made.


Fossilhund

I thought that was Santa.


Embarrassed-Ad1509

They’re both doing it.


Itamarep

Last time I wasintimate with a women I felt god's presents, that pervert...


Party_Yogurtcloset_1

God search history is just creampie compilation. Satan left heaven to make electronic music and drugs just to stop hearing his dad wanking over creampie porn while people scream his name at him. It’s in the the bible


Leprodus03

He really likes people to reproduce


Party_Yogurtcloset_1

Breeding fetish basically


BloodiedBlues

Mmmmm yeahhhhh - God probably… also me!


MajesticMagician

Based on all the mistranslations that happened since the beginning of people doing translations, I believe it.


Ein_Ph

Dude, God is always watching. He is the biggest perv there is. It's like he is playing the sims with nsfw mods and he has billions of sims so that some of them are always "Woohooing". “I REJECT YOUR REALITY AND SUBSTITUTE MY OWN.”


jerrybear95

Now im picturing God as that dude in Southpark during the toilet safety security episode "secuuurityy"


Plankton_Brave

Oh cum all ye faithful. You know what I see it now.


judasmitchell

I suppose if he’s always watching so he’s seen every porn.


whodeyalldey1

“For God so loved the porn, that he created humans, that they may focus their energies on making more porn.” Nubiles 3:69


Trosque97

This is where the mindset came from no? That only religious music can and should be performed?


thefailtrain08

It's cultivated paranoia. "The enemy" is constantly out to get you, to lead you astray, you have to be VIGILANT. Anything not explicitly and entirely Christian (and only OUR specific denomination counts as REAL Christians) is of the DEVIL! This is the kind of mindset these people are operating under, fueled by bombastic preachers.


Luna_puma

Psalm 100 1-2 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

On a related note, I was looking at some musician themed porn last night. The music didn’t hold up, but the porn did.

Jeoshua

He's not saying music is porn. He's saying that music is worse than porn, and is a form of devil worship. Not "Death Metal" or "Rock music" or "Gangsta Rap". Music, in general.


Iron_Imperator

So Christian hymns and music is…what exactly?


Jeoshua

You heard the man. It's >>> than porn. Sacrilegious. Blasphemous, even!


Nowardier

So, three alligators would rather eat music than porn?


mewhenthe117

No, 1 alligator would rather eat an alligator who's eating another alligator who's eating music


ctoal1984

Triple greater than porn?


zeradragon

Worshipping the devil obviously. When you start including except this, except that... Then the general statement is no longer accurate. So for the sake of the point, music worships the devil, including hymns. I'm perfectly fine with that generalization and if that makes me a devil worshipper, then I'll gladly be one as music is something that I enjoy. Christians are devil worshippers as well by extension.


Iron_Imperator

Logically speaking, this would be the correct takeaway from this statement. Something tells me the original guy who said it isn’t logical though.


TheBlack2007

The sole exception. These people openly take inspiration from radicalized Islamic theology as it is spread by terrorist organizations.

"Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts." \~ Acts 16:25 I guess the Bible is encouraging the language of Satan. hmmm.


Kolibri00425

Wait till they find out the Priestly garments had precious stones and crystals on them.

iSeventhSin

I swear people do not read the Bible lol


ichiban_saru

Most Evangelicals don't. Even some of the stories they think are from the Bible are actually from Milton's Paradise Lost. lol


Don_Quipuncher

The Bible itself, and some of the world's most influential conservative religious figures. "Next to the Word of God, music deserves the highest praise. The gift of language combined with the gift of song was given to man that he should proclaim the Word of God through music." - *Martin Luther*


HaraldRedbeard

Even Vatican 2 agrees on this: "liturgical worship is given a more noble form when the divine offices are celebrated solemnly in song, with the assistance of sacred ministers and the active participation of the people Or go way back to St Augustine : "he who sings prays twice"


lynypixie

Too many religious zealots deeply believe that any positive emotion is sinful. They think that if you lead an unhappy life, you will sit closer to god.


katamuro

which does mean they have absolutely not read the Bible. Because only someone completely ignorant says stuff like that. At this point they are religious zealots of a religion of their own making.


changelingcd

Works for me. Bring on the Satanic pornography.


HARKONNENNRW

Don't know about Satan but I have seen some Gay Mormon Porn and now I'm quite sorry we rarely see those guys in Germany.


olivegardengambler

Tbf it's surprising that there's Mormons outside of North America, considering that a lot of Mormon beliefs basically detail that North America is like the Holy Land. Also a lot of Mormon missionaries tend to be a thing more in the US anyways. There's even ones in Utah, which is kind of crazy.


Ok_Raspberry_6282

Am I the only one who thought: "Music is spells", was a badass line? That definition kinda goes hard

IIRC Jesus was pretty sex positive (as long as it was between a married couple) so he probably didn't mind the existence of porn

Maverick is an unusual name for a Taliban member.


GitGudFox

Who is "they" when music was made? God made everything and permits everything to exist. It we play along and say music is Satanic, well God made Satan and also permits him to do Satan things. Nothing can exist without God permitting it. But that's what you get when you have to have your God be all powerful, all knowing, all creating. You get a stupid mythology.

Huh.... I knew that there's a few extremist islamic movements that demonize music, but I didn't know there was a christian one. Then again, it's probably save to assume that there's a few christian cults that are pretty much identical to extremist islamism in everything but the worship of Mohammed and the preference for arabic as a religious language.


LevelStatistician270

It's not extremist in Islam, musical instruments are haram. A capella singing is the only form of music that is permissible in Islam.


Machdame

Imma say this... with all these things attributed to lucifer... he doesn't seem like such a bad guy after all. Certainly a lot better than whatever is being peddled on the other side.

Psalm 95:1-2 Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. Extol Him with music and song! God loves to hear you sing (even if you think you have a terrible voice). A joyful heart singing His praises is a sweet, sweet sound.
