True, but I think more in the way that they don't condone Judaism, or Islam, or Hinduism (because like most belief systems, they believe they're right and other people are wrong). The Church spoke against satanist black metalers because the whole point of Satanism is to hate Christianity (ok, at least ONE OF THE MAJOR POINTS).

Ok, sorry. No offense meant.

I did not know that.
How strong do you think the connection is between this and Christianity? Were the people who banned it just prudes, or was their being Christian their primary motivation for the censorship. I ask only because "rape Me" contains no blatant anti-Christian sentiments.
