What if Satan is actually God in disguise working for the bad guys?

Why would God "work for the bad guys"?

(It's not like the bad guys' credit goes that far...or anywhere at the Bank of God. )

Here's one that hasn't been mentioned, "Hymn 43":

Our Father high in heaven
Smile down upon your son
Who's busy with his money games
Or his women and his gun
Oh, Jesus save me
And the unsung western hero
He killed an Indian or three
And then he made his name in Hollywood
To set the white man free
Oh, Jesus save me
If Jesus saves, well, he better save himself
From the gory glory seekers who use his name in death, aw!
Oh, Jesus save me
If Jesus saves, well, he better save himself
From the gory glory seekers who use his name in death
Oh, Jesus save me
Well, I saw him in the city
And on the mountains of the moon, hey
His cross was rather bloody, oh
And he could hardly roll his stone
Oh, Jesus save me
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

From Somewhere but Yesterday by Citizen Cain:

Our Father art in heaven
Hallowed be thy shame
Thy kingdom is coming
On the back of a beast again
Coming sooner now
But it's overun
And they're spreading their whоrеs together
Thy will will be done
Spreading their wars forever
Thy will is overun
Spreading those whоrеs together
Thy little will's well hung

Thank you. I've seen people respond to my religion snark with preachy lessons all the time to the point I'm used to reacting that way.

Still, your account at GodBank may be overdrawn. But due to the holiday weekend, the system won't fully update till Monday.

When it comes to rock generally, Satan rules.

John Milton's Paradise Lost has been very inspirational.  And the Omen over the Ten Commandments for me.

When it comes to the "son of God", of course Jesus Christ Superstar is great, as is AD/BC: A Rock Opera.


Maybe we could do a Revelations: Christ vs. Antichrist in Music topic.

Milton fan! Paradise Lost has one of the most memorable lines in all of literature.

"Better to reign in Hell, than to serve in Heaven."

Wovenhand's entire discography. Consider the Birds and Mosaic are my two favorite albums. It's basically all fire and brimstone, and darker than most "satanic bands". That's why I like it.

...Listen
Judgment will not be avoided by your unbelief 
By your lack of fear 
Nor by your prayers to any little idol here 
He owns all those cattle 
He owns all these hills 
Forever round the throne yeah 
Forever round the throne 
Forever round the throne yeah 
Crow eye come see 
Crow eye come see 
The lord will not be mocked 
Not by you or me...



This song is about Jesus. As with many non-english 1970's bands that chose to sing in english, the lyrics are pretty basic. But I just love it as a great, driving heavy prog song

Agree.  By the way, I first heard it in Star Trek in the "Space Seed" episode with Khan.  It featured real Corinthian leather (oh, that dates me).

Haha! I love TOS (and The Wrath of Khan, of course).

That is an idea I can imagine better concerning the Jewish than the Christian God, and with the purpose to try the humans, but anyway, it's not like I'm very happy with God, even I much prefer the Christian one over the Jewish.

 4 stars 1998: Dave Bainbridge & David Fitzgerald - The Eye of the Eagle - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-ZljhwWbD5Pl4RA_qpFXufmjLj_ImWg6

When Prog Folk is filmed inside a church and comes complete with a church organ, a celestial choir and a vicar in his ecclesiastical robes, that's when you know these guys are serious about their religion. Smile

When talking about the Rock Opera Jesus Christ Superstar, I find quite interesting the character of Judas Iscariot and especially the reason for why he betrayed Jesus. As far as I remember, there's no such an explanation in The Bible, except from, I'd say, it was predestinated for Jesus to become something like a martyr.
