I mean come on, we get so worked up that Kanye upstaged Taylor Swifts moment, and yet not too much said about this. Most on here will say "Oh it was just a joke, no big deal!", but I completely disagree.

We must consider who will be influenced by this kind of stunt. I can tell you right now it may not be you or me because we are firmly grounded in our beliefs, but it will be our sons and daughters, that will be so heavily effected by this manipulative trash!

In the most confusing time of a childs life, the teenage years, the media throws yet another stumbling block at them. There is absolutely no accountability, and no moral compass in which the power hordes seek to get rich.

This should be proof enough that Satan has control over our world. While we were screaming about Kanye's manners, our children were being brainwashed. Question is why did we let this go unchecked? Maybe we too have been made complacent to the idea that anything goes, that it is all "simple harmless fun", therein lies the danger, the proof of the hold Satan has on us and he is not wavering.

In the days to come the Evil we see will begin to multiply. We must remember, that for a time God has held him back and has not fully loosed him on the world. The group leading the charge for the prince of darkness to unleash his demonic force is none other than Hollywood! See for yourself.

What do you really think about this? Is this kind of thing alright?

Thanks,

Pax

There is no Satan, he's a fictional book character, so a prayer to him isn't the worst thing in the world. At that age i listened to Jack Black and Tenacious D, and i was fine.

It's your upbringing and character, if you are going to take in 'Satanic' meanings from things and go start doing evil things, you personally have a problem if you can't tell the difference between right and wrong, even at an early age.

Is this not the exact same thing parents were saying about Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath back in the day?

OTT, Non story, imo.

You discuss the vulnerable years of a childs life, and brainwashing, alot of people (not all) who are religious are 'brainwashed' at an early age into it, as a child in those vulnerable years, when you have no choice but to believe it, and as you grow older it's deep within you already.

Hail Satan! not a big fan of Jack Black or Tenacious D though. Obviously the VMAs have some sort of TV13 rating so I dont see the problem. I guess if some kid can be influenced by that then they could just as easily be influenced by christian groups to bomb abortion clinics. Real satanists know satan doesnt really exist anyway

Jack Black is a comedian.
A comedian is one who makes jokes.
Part of his repetoire is that he is a satan worshipping metal head.

You were trolled. Well, actually you were trolled ages ago by some people who decided people would be fun to manipulate through religion.

For one thing, he really was kidding. The difference between what Jack Black did and a real prayer to Satan are like day and night.

Secondly, I doubt you'd be complaining if it was a prayer to Jesus.

Finally, I think it's absolutely all right. He's a comedian, he's in America and we have freedom of religion and freedom of speech. Even if he were 100% serious, he has the absolute right to stand up there and offer a prayer to Satan or a water buffalo or Jesus or anyone he chooses. That's just the way it is here.

Parents who are concerned should be limiting their kids' TV time and explaining these things to them. If a child chooses to "follow Satan" because of Jack Black's comedy skit, then that parent has really been slacking and has a lot of work to do.

Nail on the head.

You think satan is fiction?

Religious beliefs are 'brainwashing' but praying to Satan on national TV is ok?

You might be right. When it is all said and done we may simply cease to exist. You won't have to wait long to find out . Life is actually very short.

Of course, if you are wrong, you may have an unpleasant suprise waiting for you.

It'll be ok though.

You've never been wrong before have you?

Yes i believe Satan is fiction. I don't believe in religion at all.

In my eyes, Christianity (religion in general) was a way of controlling society back in the day, and has been brainwashed into children at an early age for centuries.

Misbehave and you're going to suffer eternally (Hell, Satan) - so people, not knowing any better at the time, with the general population far less educated than todays, then behaved.

Behave and you'll go to heaven ,with God - Again similar situation.

Come on, at 5 years old if you offered a child to go to Church every sunday or sit and play a Toy (without prior discussions of God or anything) they'd decide to play with the Toy. Kids are pushed into religion (not always i might add) by religious parents at an early age.

You're post "subtly" stating i'll be going to hell for not believing in Satan or God is hilarious.

Millions of people around the world believe in different religions, according to them all, you are all going to some form of hell in their books.

I'm in the bad books with everyone eh? How many hells can i go to?

Hey! You say that like it's a bad thing!

A vicious double standard exists here...

I agree. If people complained like this about someone saying a prayer to God or Jesus, most would think they were odd or weird. When people complain about religious dogma and rituals being done in public, they get reamed.

Why is it that some people see a thread about religion and they have to come running in to inform us of their opinion that it isn't real? Doesn't really matter what you think because you cannot prove that it isn't real. And just telling a believer that it isn't real will not change the believer's mind.

Why do some people have to see something on TV, relate it to religion and start a thread about it?

I merely used my 'non religious' views to show why i didn't think it was a problem.

I'm not trying to change anyones mind, someone asked me a question, i replied.

What do you want me to do? Lie?

These type of antics are becoming more prevalent as the end approaches.
I always thought that Jack Black personified his name, this only proves it.
To those of us Christians, pray that are faith be strengthened and not falter when the test presents it self.
May the peace of Our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
Que the satanists, government shills, and Left wingers to reply.
