I know, I know – some will bring out the same tired arguments against this. It’s generally the lyrics and the attitude of the band in question that are an issue. It’s not the music itself that’s the problem. The guys in Sabbath can play instruments way better than I can, but at the end of the day in the eyes of God, they’re the same as me. You won’t see me going “Ozzy is God”, or “Black Sabbath are my gods”. I can enjoy the music knowing that I don’t “worship” it. It’s entertaining, yes, but only God’s word and his works truly MEAN something. It’s for that reason I can separate it from God’s word, and his way. Black Sabbath’s music is great, it’s powerful, but it is at the end of the day, just an Earthly creation of man. The Earth and what’s on it are not of God. “How on Earth can you be a Black Sabbath fan, much less run the site, and still claim to be a Christian – you’re a hypocrite!!” I don’t see it that way. I suppose the biggest thing I can think of in regards to this site and my own personal beliefs is the question I get asked all the time. Or will you still jeer at all you hear? Yes – I think it’s too late. The only one who can save you now from all this sin and hate. Open your eyes, just realize that he’s the one Perhaps you’ll think before you say that God is dead and gone But I wanted to spend some words and talk about it, since I’m called to spread the gospel as a believer. It’s because I’m a Born Again Christian, and yeah, running this site is a constant point of discussion when people who know me from church find out about this. However, what Geezer meant by “You of all people” is the purpose of this page. When the album came out, I asked Geezer Butler what that was about, and his response was, “you of all people should know that.” Once I figured it out, it made sense, yeah. The front cover of the album has the circle image with the “Henry” flying angel/devil/whatever, only on that album, the numbers 25 & 41 appear on each side. A bible passage? Well, Matthew 25:41 is staring you right in the face if you bought the “The Devil You Know” album.
