That's another thing that bothers me. So many Christians feel the need to listen to "worship" music because they think all other music is humanistic and unholy. You don't truly love the way that music sounds, do you? Do you ever play "Our God Is an Awesome God" or "Shout to the Lord" eight times in a row because they sound so good? Does the music of Michael W. Smith blow you away with greatness?

I take your position seriously partly because I used to be in it. I remember when I first started having strong sexual urges and thinking I was doing something terrible by doing something about them. I begged for forgiveness after every time I masturbated and vowed to myself that I would never do it again. I had a major mental conflict over the fact that I absolutely loved the way heavy metal sounded and kept planning to listen to nothing but Petra and Whiteheart type music. To be honest, the fact that I went through that stuff really infuriates me now. I don't want to argue with you or ridicule you, but I will tell you what I think is the truth. There is no man in the sky getting upset if you masturbate to naked pictures or listen to good rock and roll. My view is that you are all worked up over a judgmental and demanding being that does not exist. That is what I think. Good luck to you.
