Everybody loves the Crue!

Listen to the lyrics. Seriously. That song is not about worshipping the Devil as most people seem to think.

How are these references to Satan considered Godly?

"he'll be the love in your eyes
he'll be the blood between your thighs
and then have you cry for more
he'll put the strength to the test
he'll put the thril back in bed..."

that sounds very pro-Satan to me.

You have to take all of the lyrics in context, not just one slice:

Shout shout shout
Shout shout shout
Shout at the devil

He's the wolf screaming lonely in the night
He's the blood stain on the stage
He's the tear in your eye
Being tempted by his lies
He's the knife in your back
He's rage
He's the razor to the knife
Oh, lonely is our lives
My head's spinnin' round and round
But in the seasons of wither
We'll stand and deliver
Be strong and laugh and

[Chorus:]
Shout shout shout
Shout at the devil
Shout shout shout

He'll be the love in your eyes
He'll be the blood between your thighs
And then have you Crying for more
He'll put strength to the test
He'll put the thrill back in bed
Sure you've heard it all before
He'll be the risk in the kiss
Might be anger on your lips
Might run scared for the door
But in seasons of wither
We'll stand and deliver
Be strong and laugh and

Shout shout shout
Shout at the devil
Shout shout shout
Shout at the devil

He's the wolf screaming lonely in the night
He's the blood stain on the stage
He's the tear in your eye
Being tempted by his lies
He's the knife in your back
He's rage
He's the razor to the knife
Oh, lonely is our lives
My head's spinnin' round and round
But in the seasons of wither
We'll stand and deliver
Be strong and laugh and

Shout shout shout
Shout at the devil x6
Shout shout shout x5 (fades into background)

The lyrics of each verse are all about how the devil uses temptation as a tool and that even though it feels incredibly good, the Devil will cheat you and ultimately do you wrong, which then leads to the bridge of "We'll stand and deliver, be strong and laugh and", which is saying that we'll resist the Devil and be strong and laugh at him and just shout at him (which comprises the chorus).

It's actually a very anti-devil song. It just uses rather blatant and harsh, shocking imagery to get it's point across. I'm an agnostic and even I can recognize this

[LondonGirl]

[Hoban]

10,000 Days - Tool

It's not technically about god, but it's about someone deserving to go to heaven.

One of the few songs from my old music-loving days that I can still remember: Petra Creed

I love Petra's music; my older cousin was a huge fan when I was just a kid. My faves are probably "The Color Song" and "More Power to Ya". t:

 

[Captain Planet!]

The Devil Went Down to Georgia

 

[Moviefan2k4]

The Devil Went Down to Georgia

That song doesn't have much to do with God (although "The Devil Returns to Georgia" has Johnny living as a preacher ten years later).

 

[Schlosser85]

My boyfriend loves "I Can Only Imagine" and "God Is In Control".

 

[tzarinna]

I like a lot of Jesus songs. I use to listen to Gospel music every Sunday morning.

Man Comes Around-Johnny Cash

Jesus Walks-Kanye West

 

[chamber-music]

Jesus Walks is great too. I remember a DJ in a bar refusing to play jesus walks because its too religous even though the bar was a converted church

I'll leave it to Mr. West to describe such a laughable situation;

They say you can rap about anything except for Jesus
That means guns, sex, lies, video tapes
But if I talk about God my record won't get played Huh?
