Lol! Not particularly, as it'll end up getting deleted for being too in-depth, I imagine. If I'm going to spend time and effort on this (and considering how broad metal is, it will take me hours at a time), I don't want it summarily reverted because of someone wandering in and being inexperienced.

==Is heavy metal anti-Christian?==
If we can't collaborate on this issue here, maybe the place to take it is [[Debate:Is heavy metal anti-Christian]].
Meanwhile, let's assemble the evidence for and against the proposition here. Please summarize positions from the threads above.
I'll start: In general heavy metal contains themes which invoke demonic imagery. Bands use makeup and costumes to imitate classical ideas of what devils look like. Lyrics promote themes which go against Christian virtues. While there are some bands which have tried to counter the general trend, their number is insignificant.
Editorial note: Do not make the typical mistake of listing a handful of a typical bands and a comparable number of other bands, and then claiming (or implying) anything about the proportions. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 07:56, 20 April 2010 (EDT)
