secular music isn't good.

[Theoketos]

Would really say that Beethoven is no good? Or how about traditional Irish music?

Secular music can be awesome. Most of it is awesome. You really ought to be open to all that is good, true and beautiful.

And EENS when you say stuff like that you make your position look ridiculous.

Sorry, but the Son of Man had no place to lay his head.

I've got a T-shirt idea, although this would be more along the lines of chastity and its this

Less is NOT more! (on the front)

Why settle for 87% when you can have 100%? (on the back)

I don't believe anyone is suggesting Vatican Ninja is a 'pimp' or a person who places themselves as the supervisor of a group of prostitutes. Rap music is a style of music. Some people like it, some people don't. Classical is a style of music, some people like it, some people don't. Phatmass uses rap and hip hop to honor and glorify God. Some classical composers use their style to honor and glorify God.

It brings me back to an old argument I use with Protestants who call us idolaters for honoring the Blessed Mother and having paintings and statues in our Churches. God is not offended because we offer these things our attention, but is instead glorified when we look in awe at His creation. Our ability to create art and music is a way in which we reflect God.

[Extra ecclesiam nulla salus]

you can explain the rap thing but i don't care the entire style of rap music is disgusting and offensive.

but Pimpin' is just wrong. I don't care if its a joke would you even talk about pimpin' if you saw christ. no. Pimpin' or claiming to be a pimp or saying thats pimpin'. its offensive and un-christian

That is only your opinion and I'll respect it. However, that is a very closed minded remark.

Pimpin can mean a variety of things:
1. The obvious.

2. An adjective describing nice material possesions or a person with them.
Examples:
"I just got my new pimpin Ninja Turtles toothbrush from Walmart."
"Scotty lookz pimpin with his new rolex"

3. something "really cool" or "awesome"
Examples:
"It's tax free weakend!"
"Thats pimpin!"

You have to look deeper into the meaning of the word. The word "smells of elderberries" can also be argued to have a "bad" meaning but it's not if you don't use it in a bad way.

[Theoketos]

I have to agree with EENS on the word Pimp. Even if it has other connotations, the word still glorifies prostitution.

Cultralization does not mean sinking down to the leval of the culture, but bringing the culture up to God.

Here is a great article about it.

EENS I think that you greatly benefit from reading it.

'rock music' encompasses a lot of different types of artist. Don't group them all together in such a generalised box
