As I Lay Dying Singer Tim Lambesis Arrested in Murder-for-Hire Plot

Religion was mentioned because like it or not, "christian heavy metal" is a sub genre. That's it, nothing more. I doubt the author has any hidden agenda in this article. I've seen the band described as christian heavy metal in plenty of other articles.

Still, this doesn't compare to the recent accusations against the Lost Prophets singer.

Yeuch. Can't listen to them any more.
 
I do. I spent six months having some great conversations in the jesus freak thread. Plenty of heated debate, but no insults or personal attacks.

Heated? You call that heated? Ha! NOW THIS IS HEATED! :p:p
As you can see I miss the friendly jibes and banter with my friend Titus on that thread. It was a lot of fun.
 
Innocent or guilty, detained or released, that story was largely ignored in my opinion and my original point remains.

Maybe it's just the region I live in?:confused:

I think that once it was determined that the man was not a suspect, it was no longer the same story. Are you suggesting that the media should have been required to pursue the story as though he was guilty? Because there is a big difference, you know.

I don't see what makes a metal band Christian when they never mention god.
 
it's cool, it's hip, it's in to bash Christianity and Christians themselves. Just look here on TB the bashing of Christianity and Christians goes unchecked in all instances but any other religions or balking at atheism will leave you feeling the sting of infraction points.

I've been on this site for over a year and never noticed Christins, Muslims, jews or Buddist people being treated with disrespect. Heck there is even a forum for praise and worship bass players and that would be exclusivily christian I think. :eyebrow:
