This is more my idea of a "religious" heavy metal song:

I shouldn't poke fun but I do wonder if they have a large membership?
I'm sure all six of them can fit comfortably in a one-room apartment.
I genuinely regret not informing the Swedish authorities of the possible mission of the Street Church. I would like to use my post to appeal to the editors of "The Local" and all the Swedish people who are reading my ramblings: please, inform the Swedish authorities of the possible "business" of the Street Church. Ask yourselves why it is that they go to rock festivals which abound with tons of young and vulnerable people? Is it because of the possible market? I fully realize the gravity of my allegations and I do realize that it might be that a small group of Street Church members are distributing drugs without the knowledge and/ or the approval of the Church in question. Nevertheless,please, inform the police about these alleged activities!
Such disgraceful ideas as there are in the bible, have no place at a metal festival.
I think this si a great idea. Such a dearth of God and belief will only bring down a nation in the long run.
WHy begrudge people who believe in Jesus and want to rock out to Metal. Does someone believing in God scare you taht much?
Perhaps you should be afraid of the black metal fans some of whom who worship satan and went through a burning churches phase in norway. who sacrifice animals and sometimes even people and do pervetre dthings like that or the teens recently who have started killing other teens?
You svensk folk have strange priorities and worries.
Jesus alskar nig
Let the Metal Heads make a joyful noise for the Lord! I am sure God would not mind.
