        So What’s Wrong with Rock Music?

        But as the sub-genres grow “harder” or “heavier” or more “metal”, the danger signals increase, not only because of the more frequent evil associations, as noted above, but because of certain elements in the music itself.

        As a fan of modern design I have to admit that I like the church presented here HOWEVER I do not think it should be a church. It suffers from the lack of something that a Catholic Church requires, that a dentist office does NOT require.
