What Christian Music Like 19 Lions Represents

By Donna Moore


Rock and roll music has long been an avenue where those with a religious perspective push their beliefs on young people. Bands such as 19 Lions attempt to convince young people to get on their knees and submit to the authority of a church. It teaches them self-hatred and subjugation to an institution which, historically, has done more harm than good.

Early Christianity was designed to unite the Roman Empire under one god, and it continues to do so to this day. How the details would play out was decided at a famous meeting called the Counsel of Nicaea. Within a hundred years, this new Roman Catholic Church was killing Jews and Pagans by the thousands.

The Wiccan and Pagan communities still refer to the Dark Ages as The Burning times. Their Book of the Law was created in order to push secrecy in an age of fear within ancient communities who had been rocked by death and torture from the Catholic church. So great was their fear, in fact, that they fought the intrusion through secrecy rather than outright warfare.

Christianity seeks to convince the individual that they are born flawed and sinful, by no fault of their own. They are taught to beg forgiveness from a God called Jesus who is not really God, but is. They are told to submit to the authority of a church in order to be saved, and through this salvation, they claim, the human soul bound for a pleasant afterlife.

In Christian belief, if you do not beg for salvation and submit to the church, then the soul is bound for Hell. They describe Hell as a lake of fire where the flesh will burn for all eternity, and the early Christian Bishops and monks claimed only they could communicate to God or Jesus on the behalf of the people under their parish. This fear-mongering gave the Church endless power and wealth.

It would seem that the Roman Empire never fell. It simply changed form, and now calls itself the Roman Catholic Church, and it has a history of war, corruption, and mass murder on an epic scale. Rome continues to be a power to be reckoned with in the world, via the Vatican, which is considered a separate country from the rest of the Italian peninsula.

To this day it is not known just how much human history and knowledge has been stolen by Christianity via holy wars waged for the past two-thousand years. Entire communities, libraries, artworks, and other memorabilia have disappeared into the coffers of the Popes and Bishops in Rome. The human race has been given a watered-down version of history that grants us only 10,000 years of existence, and all of our society has been created around this flawed perspective.

With this history, and the Christian insistence on pushing beliefs such as the Rapture, it makes one wonder why any parent would push this perspective on their children. Rock and roll music is supposed to be about the joy of living. When the singer is lolling on and on about what a sinner they are and begging forgiveness for being born, the whole point to the freedom of music is lost.
