Please discuss impact of spirituality and "the devil" on Priest, metal and pop rock culture

I am interested in what you have to say but I have to admit my level of education isn't allowing
me to understand. I'm not stupid, you're just using words and terms I'm not familiar with. You are
giving me the desire to figure it out though. I just have to look up some of these words. Peace.

 You can't find out who sold their soul to the devil because, like with all contracts, the terms are kept private between the two relevant parties. But I have heard somewhere that Jayne Andrews is a bitch of the devil, lashing out at the poor souls waiting for divine Priest music. 
 Evil can be obvious and brutal, or it can be insidious and silent like cancer. 
 But if you have an infestation at home, be dilligent in the erradication because demons work through physical distress to tear at your mind.

creeepy stuff

We all change as we stroll through life.  I understand your perspective bro.  Considered myself a culturally relativistic, secular humanist most of my life, and always will be to a large degree.  But spiritual commitments and then a personal encounter with the Almight foster more personal change.  There is sooo much to discuss so I'll try to keep it simple.  I can't separate the artist from the art and hope to find the core value of a modicum of self-respect in a few artists.  Modicum of self-respect is VERY loosely defined.  I will choose to patronize those artists.  (Regarding the hawkish dialogue, pardon, its more a gauntlet being thrown at the devil's minions, a challenge from here to eternity.)

I'm not sure where J.D. is, I hope he is enjoying his summer though! I've just been working a lot and trying to enjoy the summer at the same time. I hope you are having a good one!

By the way, I have 10 ignores now..... Am I FINALLY in the club??? I can't remember what the ignore count was to be a member. Do I get a prize?

Good to see your response. You seem more levelheaded with that one.
I didn't know if the first post was serious or not. I took it as someone trying to fuck
with people on this site so me being the idiot I am I responded like that. Like me
you are entitled to your beliefs. "To each his own" is my strongest belief.
Not so I can rip you but out of curiosity explain peace through strength. You sound
like a hawk but I don't think that's what you mean.

No ignores from me dudes.  I'm all about free dialogue.  Also believe sense of humor is the highest form of intelligence.  There really is bad shiznit out there (whether real or not is somewhat irrelevant when considering the POWER of belief) and it will take some bad asses who think outside the box to make the world a better place.  Peace through strength.
[Budred] Friday, July 08, 2011 11:38:40 AM 
Glad to see you post again. I was asking about J.D. today and thought about you also.
I was going to include you at the end of that post.

Nope, I have another ignore and I haven't even posted in days. It's a troll with multiple accounts seeking us out to give us more ignores. It has NOTHING to do with your posts or that you offended anyone. How do these trolls remember all their passwords for their accounts? Must have a book! Ooooooh, I'm SO HURT that I have another ignore! LMFAO!

I used to care. Not so much anymore.
If I get ignored for these kind of posts it makes me laugh.

I guess my post got me another ignore.

I guess some religious people just don't have a sense of humor.
Or maybe my sense of humor is just poor. Either way so be it.

I'm not sure if this person was even serious. I wasn't. I don't believe in the devil.(or god)
 Sorry to the offended.
...unless you're so damn weak to believe in yourself that you have
   to have god as crutch.

I would say see you in hell but I'm just going to rot after death like everyone else.
[Head banger] Friday, July 08, 2011 7:55:10 AM

I sell Kia Souls...

Do you really believe people sell their soul to the devil?
 I'm just curious, how does one contact the devil? E-mail? Cellphone?
Maybe they just go outside and shout.
I've been wanting to speak to him myself. Any suggestions on how to go about it?
From what I here once you get used to heat hell ain't a bad place to be.
If you see him around could you give him a message for me. Tell him Budred would
like to make a deal.

I love all music but have a special place in my heart for heavy metal and rock and roll.  I was blessed to see Judas Priest recently in Kanas City, Missouri.  They were unbelievable and are my favorite band (although honestly I need to spend more time listening to more of their work).  I felt a strong energy from and brief connection with epic frontman Rob Halford.  Honestly, if I were ever to marry again would love Judas Priest to play (ha!).  I'm 42, into history and philosophy, and have evolved my own spirituality tied closer to the Germanic honor traditions than to pacifism (sometimes say there are many names for the Almighty including Odin).  Really wanted to drag any reader through some personal info before I hit you with the question...
How do I find out which rock and rollers sold their soul to the devil or which didn't?  Rob please tell me you are above that servile minion routine!  CLEARLY the devil can't give talent, only opportunity, which makes it all about power, control and manipulation.  Divide and conquer, divide and rule.  
Back in my youth the "fundamentalists" were picketing many of my favorite acts and we justified everything through artistic license, rebellious spirit and astute marketing.  Apparently we rock and rollers weren't entirely correct.  Start with a youtube of Bob Dylan sells his soul to the devil and begin to peel the onion.  The darkness is growing in confidence and all I want to know is which artists were man enough to raise hell without selling their soul to whoever thinks they are the devil.  A discussion of spirituality, theology and prophecy usually exposes these minions for the lesser creatures they are.  I also have heard that if someone did sell their soul redemption is possible.  If anyone were interested in exploring redemption further THAT would be my ABSOLUTE pleasure! 
I welcome any dialogue on this ultimate subject.  Recently I've been hanging out with Christians and I love them for them and (to my surprise) they love me for me, but believe me, my perspectives are a bit different.  Importantly, we are all working for the same God, we just have to figure out our individual duty. 
Love to Priest and all of you and all glory to the Almighty!.
Sincerely, Mick Simmons, Kansas City, Missouri
