Guitars and drums are innanimate objects made of wood and strings and steel, like the instruments down through the centuries. They cannot be evil till they have been used for evil. Lyrics and style can make a song evil,and this can be done with ANY form of music. I can praise whoredom on a classical guitar or preach drug use with a brass band! I can sing hatred for Jesus with a piano or a violin. By the same token, will you tell me that a man playing a rock beat and a fast guitar singing “praise Jesus in the highest” is doing something evil? Give me a break.

Another humorous note is that when I heard a pastor and his cronies bashing electric guitars as being invented by Satanic men for playing rock music, and I presented proof that this was not the case, they got insulting and banned me from their site rather than admitting they were wrong.

Case in point: the electric guitar was invented decades before rock music came along, for competing with full bands playing jazz! Religionists stoutly deny this, yet you can read it anyplace! Leo Fender perfected one of the first electric guitars. He was hardly a Satanist.

The bible speaks of making a joyful noise to the lord. It does not ban any instrument, it merely talks about positive use of it. When the anti rock fundies use examples, they deliberately pick the most vile of musicians to back their false claims. This is called propaganda.

Anyone who actually believes God hates rock music needs to ask themselves why they think so, is it because of the bible or some biased preacher who thinks country music somehow superior.
