Hell, I believe in God and you’d be surprised what I listen to sometimes, and what even adds to the irony of that is before I didn’t really believe in God. I even got into more of that supposed “anti-Christianity” stuff after I did start believing. (Mostly because I actually had access to music choices instead of a radio then)
Meh...

Your Mom told me that Kyle told you that I was mad at you. I am not mad at YOU but I was very upset about the fact that you would be listening to Marilyn Manson and a lot of the others that you had on your ipod. There is no justifying that kind of music. There is a difference between listening to hard rock and listening to someone who is evil, and I am going to be sure to express how bad that is to my kids. Why would you want to listen to someone who is totally against Christianity? Who does that tell you that he IS for? Man, I knew he was horrible, but a quick search on the net and I am utterly sickened by what I see. There are a lot of music choices out there and I’m sure that you could find something other than that. That doesn’t mean that you have to like what I like, or your Mom likes, or whoever. But some of the groups that you had on your ipod- what are you thinking? Do you really think that it is just fine to listen to that? Do you care? I know that you say that you don’t listen to the lyrics- but I know that there is no way you can listen to that and not be affected by it.

The fact is, as long as you are in your Mom’s house and she is paying the bills, you do have to respect her. God has given all of us free will and you will always have a choice to make. The reason that I asked to see your ipod the other day was because I care about what you are putting into your head. The way I understand it is that your Mom has already had a talk with you and given you chances with it. When you get to be an adult and you move out and you are paying all your own bills- then you will have the right to do whatever you want. Until then, your Mom and the rest of your family are going to try to help you go into the direction that we know is right. If I saw you standing in the middle of a highway and an eighteen wheeler was speeding right at you- don’t you think I would yell at you to save your life? Jon, you have to understand that there is a spiritual battle going on in this world. There are only two sides- there is no in between. The enemy wants to destroy you. That is his only purpose. I believe that one of his strongest tools is music. Music can be so powerful, for good or for bad. I mean, you went from Michael W. Smith to Marilyn Manson- what is happening here?? If you like metal music, can’t you find any that is not about evil and anti-Christian? I believe that you can.

I pray for you almost every single time that I pray. I so want to see you grow into the man that God created you to be. I love you! Christi”


I mean what the fuck is up with this bullshit about “Jesus” and stuff... I’m sure Marilyn Manson would be my best friend if he read this. lol.
