Wow, that's pretty lame. Is there no such thing as freedom of religion in Poland? I really doubt that live shows that promote Satanism really cause any problems anyhow. If someone was actually influenced by a band to burn a church or something, it would be through their music, not just some random live show.This Message Edited On 06.18.07

This is fucked.

Agreed, and I also agree with what Nergal said. There are better things to be done than to waste time on f'ing around with religion.

One of the few times I would agree with someone named Nergal.

Well they play their music at shows.

Apparently you've never been to Poland.

So in Poland, people burn churches after every live show by a band that promotes Satanism? And this doesn't happen in other countries. I personally just think some group of religious nuts decided against this because only their views should be allowed according to them. This Message Edited On 06.18.07

WOW...atleast they get spared some shitty bands. But that sucks for Marily Manson friends.

No it was a joke.This Message Edited On 06.18.07

Oh I see.

I wonder what will happen to uprising bands that seemingly support Satanism?

^^ I guess if they're from Poland, they'll have to front a new image.

Although I most likely won't/don't like any of the bands they choose to ban, this is pretty stupid. But meh, authority does this a lot in the sense that they make BS rules to make it look like theyre helping people when in reality theyre just avoiding the real problems.

^^ I agree. Although it's music I probably don't like, this is pretty shitty.

im suprised it isnt norway pullin this bullshit Poland needs a revolt FIGHT FOR THE REVOLUTION OF DEATH METAL1!!!!!!

I've been to poland once, the ppl there are really deep catholic if they are not listening to any death metal,

well they should rather spend time to keep Poland up to EU standards then wasting their on banning bands. They'll just give such bands some more promotion nothing more^^

Unbelieveable. Isn't that like, against the law about freedom of religion or something? Do they not have that in Poland?

Boo. I cant stand it when people assume a band is something like anti-Christ or satanic by their appearance or style of music. I never thought of Behemoth as a satanic band, are they?

Wow... i was pretty shocked to see this... seems pretty damn ridiculous to me.

Heh, no, Behemoth isn't a satanic band, they're atheist.

I don't find it surprising at all that even in the post-modern era, idiot conservative governments are still pulling shit like this.

At least the Polish kids will never have to see the likes of Marilyn Manson.

Sucks for Behemoth, though.

I think in the minds of intense Catholics, atheism isn't any better than satanism.

I feel bad for all the Polish metal fans. I know I would lose it if that happened here. But it's America, so it won't.

Christianity: Creating fake boogeymen for you to be terrified of while distracting you from any real problems for 2,000 years.

Still, I can see why Martin Luther wanted to be separate from all this. I mean, sure, Lutherans are nuts in their own way, but just look at the Dutch! They've got the right idea.

Yeah, Lutherans and the rest of them christians are nuts. But you know what's funny? The more money a country has to spend, the bigger amount of atheists you can find in the country.

Except for the US, which is anomalously high in terms of religious people per capita vs annual income per capita.

And Poland has been dominated by strict Catholic values for centuries now. In fact, more people are devoutly Catholic there than in Italy, according to recent studies.

wait a minute guys.

do you realized that none of this has happened yet?

like, one religious group made a list of artists they don't like.

A religious group with influence on the Polish government I believe. The present Polish coalition includes fundamentalist Catholics and downright fascists. 99% of so-called Satanic bands either use the image as a gimmick or a metaphor for atheist/nihilist/hedonist beliefs. Theistic Satanists are rare as hen's teeth.

This is pure crap.
Behemoth are pretty good aswell.
And Manson hardly promotes anything worse than being a freak.

pretty dumb but its in poland so who cares

It's weird to hear this after I remember all that shit about Gorgoroth on TV there a few years ago.

Lol Gorgoroth always stirring up some trouble. Pretty insane problem though. Like there isnt enough wrong in this world, not to mention Poland. However Poland is deeply catholic so, it really dosn't suprise me that much. Dosn't make it any less wrong however.

Ya seriously, Poland back on its feet from communism and they want to ban any satanist bands.. freedom of speech? and in all sincerity the Polish government should be concerned with other things.

pretty dumb but its in poland so who cares
