Music is not of God!
Well, that's my quota of "WTH?!" for the week.

Bad news for all you musicians and singers on the flist!
This page will tell you why all instruments are demonic, melody is not of God, harmony will drive you insane, and any sort of movement to any sort of music makes men gay. Because only impure females and children dance.
All forms of music disrupt your brain chemistry and make it impossible to understand the word of God. The reason you enjoy music is because your body is producing endorphins to deal with the pain that the music is causing you. Ethically speaking, worship teams are on exactly the same level as major drug dealers.
In the Old Testament, music was associated only with people who refused to obey God. They used it to drown out the voice of God.
ACTUAL QUOTE: "There is no abiding value to music unless you are mentally deranged." (Like Saul, when David played for him.)
ANOTHER ACTUAL QUOTE: "Listening to the charismatic speaker or the sexually-attractive, talented, well-dressed, amplified choir leading you into worship, makes you want to have a potluck."
Well, okay, I can't argue with that one. I have never known a church group that did not go out to eat after church.
Extra points to the author of the page for bringing in Beowulf.
Music is somehow linked to the Mark of the Beast.
After that it just gets really weird.
EDIT: No, wait, how did I miss this?
YET ANOTHER ACTUAL QUOTE: "Intense pleasure also relates to pain; women often have the same extroverted, and chemical, reactions in child birth as they do during sex. You know those moments when you feel like it's just too much, but you're loving it and don't ever want to stop?"
