i agree. I'm a Christian but metal is my life. and people prejudge every heavy band like their all gifts from the devil or somethin. just because a band wears mask and plays loud doesnt make them bad people! their simply expressing the feelings that every single one of us feel every day. and thats what makes Slipknot so unique, they make you think outside the box with their lyrics. sure they could just come out and say "hey we're not Satanist" in their song, but they use the stupidity of others to not only make a bad ass song but to also send a message. "if your 555 then im 666" simply expresses the way that the media labels them because their one way which is careful and politically correct "555" and they think of slipknot as total thugs "666"
@twillie - Even if they were Satanists, that wouldn't make them bad. Being atheists wouldn't make them bad. The underlying thought here is that Christians don't get to own "goodness". The fact that so many of them think they do should make clear one reason I hate Christianity and so many Christians.
