If God exists and he gave us Rock & Roll what do you think his purpose
was? I know some people claim the Devil made Rock & Roll but God made
the Devil so the question re-asserts itself.

Put another way, do you think Rock & Roll is a force for 'good'? Or
has it caused more harm than good?

It's you, it's definately just you. Why should the devil have all the
good music?

Actually, it was Argent that gave us "God Gave Rock And Roll To You".

Personally, I can't understand how an atheist can really appreciate
'God Only Knows'. Shouldn't they just stick to songs like 'Highway To
Hell'? Makes sense, don't it?

And let's not forget the demonic undertones and evil backward masking
in Stairway to Heaven. The first time I ever heard Stairway was in a
church actually. No kidding. A traveling crusader evangelist came by
to share the evils of Rock and Roll and played several songs featuring
backward masking on loud speakers to the whole congregation. The
song's old now to me, but that first listen of Stairway echoing
through a silent, dim church sounded like the most beautiful song I'd
ever heard, despite the thrashing it was taking by the servants of the
lord at that moment. As soon as possible I purchased the cassette and
my world was opened up to a much wider world of wonderful music. My
mother was suckered into buying this snake-oil preacher's books that
he wrote about the devil, rock n' roll, etc. and later when I read
through them, he had changed the lyrics to several songs to give them
a satanic/unholy slant to better sell his message to those who wuld
have no clue, a tactic used often in religion/christianity.

I had the exact same experience in seventh grade at Lutheran school. Gotta
love the 80s, man.

Heck, I thought it was given to us by our magnificent commodity
structure under the stewardship of our omni-present intelligence
infrastructure and helped save our economic system from godless
communism.

But what the heck do I know?
