Neutral Milk Hotel
Saviour Machine is top-tier Christian music:

Fuckin creed man.
Creed is the shit. Even when I was an atheist I liked creed. So does my dad and he's a hard rock bassist. Took some acid and realized life is too amazing to not have God having something to do with it. And now I accept his grace WITH AHMS WIDE OPAAAAAHNN

>>62456136
Actually, yeah, as a non-Christian (not an atheist, just not specifically Christian) I unironically enjoy Creed.
Those melodies and giant guitars are just too good. It's the kind of stuff that just makes you wanna be Christian. Though I imagine that's their whole plan.
mewithoutyou are pretty good, dunno if they strictly count as christian tho since there's just a lot of spirituality goin on in general
>nihilism=atheism
hoooo boy
>>62456422
Atheism is inherently nihilistic in nature, though I see the flaw in how OP worded it.
>>62456422
Nobody implied this
>>62456450
OP said he was a nihilist, whats the flaw?
>>62456472
" I'm no longer a nihilist, I accept the lord and savior"
While this isn't necessarily a straight-up fallacy, they don't have to be mutually exclusive.
>>62456490
nobody said they were, I'm OP and I specifically said that "I" was a nihilist. Learn to comprehend english, bless
First off, my condolences.
Secondly, go through the WoW discography - though imo they started tanking around 2005, so I suggest going backwards from there.
Also, I still love me some dc talk, Paul Coleman Trio, Third Day, KJ-52 and Newsboys - they still hold up very well (even if KJ is just an Eminem copycat)

OP here, I'll check out all of your guys suggestions, however right now I'm reading the Bible and listening to Wagner, It's been a long time since I've read the bible and this is really emotional, I'm happy and I missed God.
>>62456647
I'm no longer a Christian, but I still bump the occasional christian album from my childhood. If you get past the generic stuff like MercyMe and David Crowder band, there's a surprising amount of good music to be found.
>>62456136
>life is too amazing to not have god having something to do with it
>acid
God damn, you're stupid as fuck. Of course you became religious after a trip on drugs.
>>62456700
There are three stages anon, The religious (when you are a child), the materialistic (when you are a teenager), and the spiritual mystic (when you are an adult). Many never grow past materialism, forever manchildren who will rot into nihil

I really hate shilling myself but I think it's excusable since it's worship music. I hope it edifies you OP
>>62456732

Humans are naturally materialistic though. As much as we'd like to believe we aren't, we are.

>>62456744
>worship music
Are there really fucking hardcore religious types on 4chan? Of all places you choose to come here? Jesus Christ.
>>62456562
>no longer a nihilist
>I accept the Lord and Savior
Pretty sure that's implying you were once a nihilist, hence "no longer", and saying "I accept the Lord and Savior" implies you now accept the Lord. Which implies the two are mutually exclusive. Which is wrong.
Or are you speaking a different dialect of English that lacks syntax?
Underoath is the only good Christian band, and even their first few albums are shite.
>>62456776
What about August Burns Red? Pretty highly acclaimed for metalcore.
>>62456754
This is not true, materialism is a state of mind, of course you might have never experienced anything else so you wouldn't understand, maybe you will one day I hope
New converts disgust me.
You're Christian we get it you don't have to shove it down everyone's throats.
>tfw bible actually demands you to.
Oh fuck, now I miss the vegans, you should get into that too OP, to reach douchebag reactionary nirvana.
>>62456787
Forgot them. They jam.
>>62456773
>Which implies the two are mutually exclusive
No. No it doesn't
>>62456788
Absolute bullshit. Are you implying you would marry and bear children with a morbidly obese woman with amputated limbs because you're not materialistic?
>>62456744
lovely, I stopped my wagner for this and it's nice
>>62456732
Oddly enough, I was a bit different.
>Christian>Mystic>Agnostic>Secret Mystic>Materialistic>Secret Mystic>Mystic
Just depends on how reality currently shapes itself and my perception of it.
>>62456796
Yee. I don't really listen to them, but I really should get into them more. I fucking love metalcore.
>>62455444
wow rly no ones mentioned Grits yet? that was like my 1st album
>>62456765
I think the fact that it's completely unheard of for actual Christians to be on 4chan speaks volumes on the hypocrisy of modern day Christianity.
Jesus ate and talked to prostitutes, thieves, and murderers. He instructed his followers to go into the world and be lights for it, not hide away in a church and circle jerk over religion.
>>62456820
They're just stages, individually it can be different, but you tend to notice for a lot of people it's a similar path, assuming they grow past materialism
>>62456806
If saying "I used to be a nihilist, now I'm a Christian" doesn't imply that they cannot coexist, which it totally does, then saying that sentence is like saying "I used to live in Hawaii, now I drive a Mustang." As in, if you're not trying to imply they're exclusive, then what the fuck is the point of bringing up your past nihilism?
Fuck.
>>62456846
It's more that this website is heavily secular. I don't even know how you can believe that bullshit. Honestly. I don't mean that in an edgy atheist manner, but come the fuck on. Created the earth in 7 days? Okay.
>>62456867
holy shit. NO YOU SILLY FOOL, put down the fedora just for one second and internalize what you're arguing and what I typed, I know you can't accept being wrong but this is just funny
>>62456830
I didn't want to be laughed at. I really liked them back then, and I still like them now, but with hits like Hittin Curves and Ooh Aah I was sure /mu/ would hate the suggestion.
>>62456893
lolwut
This isn't about right or wrong, I'm just wondering why you thought bringing up nihilism was relevant when you yourself admit that you don't find them to be mutually exclusive. If you're telling me you agree with me, that someone can be both Christian and nihilist, then why mention it in the beginning?
Instead of trying to insult me, maybe try to see where I'm coming from.
>>62456876
Well not every Christian believes that the earth was created in seven days.
For example, the "days" Genesis is talking about could justifiably be interpreted as meaning a long period of time (the same way we would say "in the days of Jesus" in English)
Considering that the sun and moon weren't created until the third day and that it never mentions the seventh day ended, I feel okay in believing this.
Ultimately, this hardly matters because a Christian's real faith is supposed to be grounded in the life and resurrection of Jesus
>>62456919
I was nihilist (belief system), now I'm a christian (belief system), calm down :)
>>62456876
you never even dabbled into theology have you m8
>a nice thread actually about music gets derailed by the pedantic fedora brigade
>>62456876
its a metaphor for a period of time and change that retarded cavemen could understand you retard. jesus christ why are sciencejerking athiests so literal and retarded about this shit
>>62456950
The problem is that materialistic thinking tries to take everything completely literally at face value. You don't do this with poetry and lyrics, why for religious writings
why is metalcore so commonly christian?
>>62456952
Just curious, man. I'm not even the one who started this bullshit, my original post in this conversation was defending you to the first dude. I still don't see the point but hey whatever.
If you're into metal/metalcore there's a pretty great Christian scene.
Norma Jean
The Chariot
The '69
Oh, Sleeper
A Plea for Purging
Underoath
Sleeping Giant
Demon hunter
Devil Wears Prada
A Hill to Die Upon
Living Sacrifice
Scar Symmetry (I think they're Cristian)
It's been a while since I've listened to a lot of this stuff, there might be somethings I've missed.

The chariot is great.
Not 100% sure if these guys are Christian or not, I always got the vibe but still dunno, but anyway, this album is fucking beautiful, a different take on the tale of Lucifer's fall:

>>62457007
Christians have persecution mania, more news at eleven.
>>62457041
Fair enough, man.
In keeping the spirit of this thread alive, kind of an obvious mention but Theocracy is fucking radical, the kind of Christian metal that almost makes you wanna believe:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVs2ulome_Y
>>62456978
I agree, it can be dangerously dividing among believers but thankfully we have the Spirit to lead us now.
Of course, the scriptures should never be disregarded as having authority, it's just great to know Jesus comforted us by saying the world would recognize us by the way we love each other, not by who's interpretation of Creationism was correct.
>>62456876
Like any piece of literature you have to understand the conventions with in the genre. The first few chapters of Genesis were poetry. Because poetry is a very symbolic artform it's not possible to hold it as objective truth unless there is other evidence. It's totally possible God created the world five seconds ago with a pregenerated history encompassing yoir memories and everything else. We can't prove it and ultimately it doesn't affect your salvation so why get hung up on that ine part?
>>62457134
> the world would recognize us by the way we love each other, not by who's interpretation of Creationism was correct.
What a beautiful notion. I know this is a music thread but I think that's really neat. If only more theists followed this. That's the most important aspect of faith, recognizing that the details may be different for others but that we all share a common thread by merely accepting God in whatever way we interpret him/her/it. The version of theism I practice more closely resembles Zen Buddhism than Christianity but at the end of the day, my version of God and your version both refer to the same thing, and that's all that matters. I wish more people could treat God as a celebration than a burden. Good on ya, man.
>>62455444
im not a christian but i think flyleaf are pretty good. has anyone recommended them yet?

Yeah, I was curious about this myself. As far as I know David Tibet is more closely a Buddhist or something similar.

>>62457746

>>62457778
If you knew anything about David Tibet, you would know he is Christian, maybe not the most orthodox of Christianity, but he is deeply Christian.
>>62457826
Preeeeeettttty sure he's a Buddhist.
enya and tori amos' christmas albums are great
