Guilty pleasures and Christian liberty

[SmokingFlax]

Yup...I still dig those old Black Sabbath tunes too though I haven't listened to them for quite a long time. But just this morning I tuned in to a few cuts from the Killers album (Iron Maiden). I think this wakes me up more than a cup of coffee to be sure -especially if I can really crank it up loud.

For the first few years after being born again I tried really hard to get into contemporary "Christian" music (and I burned all of my old rock tapes as I began my journey into pietism) but it got to the point where I just couldn't stand it any more because the great majority of it is limp wristed and horrendous and I just had to face the truth there. I still can't stand it.

Should I feel bad about this?

Sushi. Typically when we go, we eat much more than we need to. Sad to admit, it borders on glutony.

Dream Theater is one of my favorites. Haven't hear of Avenged Sevenfold, though.

I listen to alot of Christian hardcore, but its not a guilty pleasure at all, just a pleasure. Infact, right now I am listening to The Hammering Process by Living Sacrifice. If any of you like metal at all, you will love this album. Reborn is also another good album by Living Sacrifice.

Guilt pleasures: where do I start?

BUFFALO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (especially the original Anchor Bar & Grill recipe. If it's not Frank and Theressa's recipe, it's not the real deal.)

House/Trance music
Miika Kuisma
Misja Helsloot
Perry O'Neil
Armin van Buuren
Victor Dinaire
Andy Hunter
...and so on (from XM 82)

and last (but not least) HOCKEY! (My avatar is evidence of this).
BTW, hockey season is right around the corner

The Puritanboard is my guilty pleasure.

I'm editing this post of mine because I've had second thoughts about some "death metal" groups I mentioned in here. I should have been more considerate to the entire board. I apologize.

Having said that, I would like to add the Goo Goo Dolls and Gamalon (prog-rock/jazz fusion band from Buffalo, NY) to my guilty pleasure list.

I drink stuff they make.
I feel I must do so to support Texas industry. When I do I smoke a tobacco called Mountain Mist in a nice briar pipe. I tell you I am a wild man.
