But these virtues ARE clearly visible with Jesus. It's why we True Christians™ focus our attention on Him and Him alone. The songs we sing are essentially praises of Him and acknowledgement of what He told us. Nothing is hidden. What you see is what you get.
Non-Christians that try to ascertain the meaning of secular music are almost always lead astray and into sin. As a young atheist, I was quite fond of Judas Priest and especially the album "British Steel". It was, at first appearance harmless, as I wore headphones and played air guitar. But the Satanic message of "Living After Midnight" and the razor blade on the cover had it's intended influence.
If I had known that Rob Halford was a filthy homersexual, I might have understood the real intention of his music. But I was young and impressionable. Within a few short years, I was addicted to cocaine and passing my body around the Castro District in San Francisco as if there was no tomorrow. Praise Jesus that I was Saved a few years later and spared the AIDS that I rightfully deserved!
I'm trying to demonstrate the dangers of trusting anyone but Jesus Christ. Does this make sense?

With The Bible, or any other religion for that matter, I also find it very difficult to understand what it all really means, it takes a lot of studying to come to the true meaning right? Isn't it the same for art and for people?

Read my signature friend. It's Jesus or eternal death and damnation. It could not be more simple.
You are in my prayers.
In Christ!
