So, I was walking down the street in the grimy part of Redfern today. Out of nowhere, a hobo runs up to me from across the street and starts screaming at me to take my shirt off and burn it. At first, I was incredibly confused. Then I looked at my shirt. It was a Slayer shirt. I look at him and I can see a ragged kippeh and remnants of his peyot.
Turns out, the only Slayer song he knows is Angel of Death, and believes that I'm anti-Semitic. These are the lyrics of the song, and it's about Josef Mengele.
Auschwitz, the meaning of pain The way that I want you to die Slow death, immense decay Showers that cleanse you of your life Forced in Like cattle You run Stripped of Your life's worth Human mice, for the angel of death Four hundred thousand more to die
Angel of death Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
Sadistic, surgeon of demise Sadist of the noblest blood Destroying, without mercy To benefit the aryan race
Surgery, with no anesthesia Feel the knife pierce you intensely Inferior, no use to mankind Strapped down screaming out to die
Angel of death Monarch to the kingdom of the dead Infamous butcher, Angel of death
Pumped with fluid, inside your brain Pressure in your skull begins pushing through your eyes Burning flesh, drips away Test of heat burns your skin, your mind starts to boil Frigid cold, cracks your limbs How long can you last In this frozen water burial? Sewn together, joining heads Just a matter of time 'til you rip yourselves apart Millions laid out in their Crowded tombs Sickening ways to achieve The holocaust
Seas of blood, bury life Smell your death as it burns Deep inside of you Abacinate, eyes that bleed Praying for the end of Your wide awake nightmare Wings of pain, reach out for you His face of death staring down, Your blood running cold Injecting cells, dying eyes Feeding on the screams of The mutants he's creating Pathetic harmless victims Left to die Rancid angel of death Flying free
(leads: hanneman, king, hanneman, king, hanneman)
Angel of death Monarch to the kingdom of the dead Infamous butcher, Angel of death
Angel of death
The absurdity of the situation made me burst out laughing, which only infuriated him more. So I walked away, while he was standing on the pavement, screaming that I was committing sacrilege.
Given the very hostile religious climate in the Backroom, I thought I'd post this to remind us of how ridiculous religion is.
The best music is usually offensive to someone, somehow, some way. Especially when the subject matter makes them too uncomfortable to pay proper attention.
Yeah - but you can write a metal song about the horrors of the Holocaust without being a dick about it, if that Song is about how horrible a particular Nazi is that should be in the chorus. Lyrically speaking, you let the monster have free rein in the verse and you flay him in the chorus because that's how it has worked since the Greeks were doing it.
Just shows Slayer can't write, really. I find that offensive as a metal fan, never mind on a humanitarian level.
I'm not a fan of what I consider "junk" metal which seems calibrated primarily to offend someone.

Not sure it was meant to offend, but I find it a bit pathetic. Just like a lot of rappers shockrock is as cool as a kilo of sprouts imho

When I listen to music, I listen to the music not the lyrics. If I wanted mental nourishment, I would read something like Tolstoy. Slayer's music is brilliant. Also, I'd like to point out that Tom Araya is Catholic, and doesn't condone any of their lyrics. Angel of Death is like a gorey movie, really sick but in the end, it's entertainment.
I admit to having bands on my iPod with incredibly offensive names, just to see people's expressions when they browse through my iPod. And many of those bands have incredible music, in my opinion.
Well now I've been reminded of now ridiculous religion is.
Whoops. I didn't mention why the hobo made religion look ridiculous.
He was yelling about how the Zionists control the world, and how Jews made the world what it is, and how the Jews are superior. I don't look Jewish, so he used the fact I wore a Slayer shirt to tell me how inferior I am. He said, and I quote, "Hashem will sort out scum like you. WHEN YOU'RE DEAD! YOU WILL DIE! AND I'LL MAKE SURE YOU MEET HASHEM!" That's what made me laugh. In my defence, I'd also like to say, that I was under the influence of certain substances. So I'm not quite sure if it happened at all. It seemed very real to me. But that could just mean I get some really good hash.
To sum it all up, I had a good trip down Stoner Avenue and laughed at a crazed religious hobo. That's why religion is ridiculous, because I'm high.
EDIITL I don;t think I'll remember making this. So I apologise in advance for not using evidence. That's for you PVC and total realisticism.

I do not believe so. I think you are failing to account for a God-like appreciation of humor.
