People have been asking me what secular albums are "safe" to listen to. As a good guideline, ask yourself this... "Does the band / music you wish to listen to include any of the following themes:

Rebellion

Violence

Nihilism (belief in nothing) / Apathy

Escapism / Suicide

Drugs / Alcoholism

Sexual Perversion / Fornication / Pornography

Self-Mutilation

Dissonant / Offensive Sound

The Occult / Satanism

Anti-God / Anti-Authority

Cult-like Organization, Terrorism

If so, you should steer well clear. The Bible, God's Word, teaches us anything that promotes or embraces any of these factors is predominantly anti-Christian, and against all that God's Word stands for. The following are just a few God-haters you should definitely avoid like the plague...
