well i'm reading UMBERTO ECO's IL PENDOLO DI FOUCAULT.
Baphomet used to be teh one who those Templar guys were raving about.
But all in all, the very point of this thread is: as soon as it's nonsense, it's occult... therefore it's EVIL becuz we do not get it. I think that the SY lyrics play a lot with stuff like this. What you can't understand SCARES THE CRAP OUT OF YOU, mainly becuz of the fact that we fear those who are different from us. old stuff.

i found the YOUTH reference (they're in their 50ies but the're THE YOUTH) to be very evocative tho.

is RR really coming out on 06 06 06?

that was one of the dates. but i think the actual date is the 13th of June

I agree Go methodist you guys rule!

ahahahahahahahahahahahahah:D

i finally opened this thread - i thought for sure it must be a joke. i can't believe it's serious. all this "please, please, someone ask them" bullshit is pretty hilarious too. like you'll just totally, like, die if you don't know the answer.

anyway, the answer is simple. if sonic youth were really satanists, they would have the kind of fame and fortune that led zeppelin, who really sold their souls to the devil, did.

okay, so that was a joke, but just because a band throws the word satan into their lyrics doesn't make them a satanist any more than throwing the word god into a song makes them christian. digging hard and finding a few satanic references makes you sound like the same people who put out the 20/20 special in 1984 on satanic hair metal (though they had a lot more to work with, even though all those bands used satanic imagery and weren't really satanists either.) marylin manson, he's a satanist and he's open about it. i think part of being a satanist would entail being open about it to get any benefits from the prince of darnkess, though that's just my assumption. i can't believe this thread is nine pages long and i can't believe i'm adding to it.

That sounds like something a satanist might say.

wait, this is a serios thread?

ha ha i would give you some reputation points for that but it says i have to spread them around first.

ahahahahahahahah

jesus died for somebody's sins but not sonic youth's

I'm listening to SATAN IS BORING now, and it's nothing to conquer, the fight is good! Your flesh has a limit....

You are asking, if SY are satanists?

They must be.

See, I've seen Him, and he's beutiful. Theres no deception. An angel, beutifullest one. Boring, true. But really good-looking.

Love.

Time is satan. Fuck time. Satan is love.

Satan is boring............

I should have known!

This thread still lives? Take it outside of this forum. Religion and music don't mix (look at Creed)

when i look at creed... i'm looking in a mirror--upside down.

And Sufjan Stevens? And mewithoutYou? And Pedro The Lion? Amazing bands based solely on christianity.

I'm sure you can find better examples than that. Pedro the Lion????:confused:

They did a sweet cover of "Left Down and Hanging Around". Do NOT deny this.

Sufjan and mwY are two of my favorite artists/bands of all time.

I must say that when I'm in a "chill" mood, I dig Pedro the Lion and Page France. Cheap aural indulgence.
