| That's great!! Victor how can you hate GWAR? You gotta have a soft spot for any band that dresses up like B-movie horror freaks. Not like I'm "into" them but every once in awhile you gotta just get up in a crowded area and yell : GWAR!!!!!!!! Too cheezy to hate, to cheezy to really love - like all those old B movies - Killer Clowns from Outer Space, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes all the Toxic Avengers. | |

| Honestly, I really think that HM compromised on this one... Yeah, Yeah, YEAH...I know..I know...Smell the arrows and torches being soaked with gas...so bring the flame...LOL Seriously, using GWAR {obsence lyrics and ulra- violent/bloody/perverted stage show} to promote a Christian magazine sends the wrong message... Why does it always seem that Christians who soften their stance when being side by side with the world? GWAR changed NOTHING about themselves to be in the commercial, but HM soften their stance to be accepted by the world... I will give HM credit it does have people talking... | |

| No, but Jesus was not using prostitution to promote Christianity either....
I understand what you are saying RFK, but I think it is an "Apples and Oranges" comparison...
I agree that Christians should not head to the "monastery" after salvation, but neither should we use popular {or in gwar's case not so popular} or controversial bands/ideas, etc who are anti-Christian to promote Christianity...
Big difference in hanging out with sinners to influence them into accepting Jesus as their Saviour and the change in lifestyles after being saved and using them {unchanged} to promote Christianity... | |

| Here's a response:
I'm a follower of Christ. I ask God for wisdom a lot. I hope this was the perfect decision. I like the commercials a lot. I think they're funny like a beer commercial. The original idea (from the creative company) was to have a character "kinda like" the guys from Gwar. That turned into a query with Gwar's management to see if they'd be willing to be the hired talent for the shoot. Oderus was into it. I requested that he remove the giant phallus from his typical uniform. No problem.
If you think I compromised on this one, I would encourage you to pray for me and to hold off judgment until my life is over. Maybe you'll think differently about this action in two months, one year, five years from now. It's amazing how false judgment sometimes gets pushed along by some urgency, like it's life or death.
If you have any trust in me (from my 23 years with the magazine or from knowing me personally), I urge you to trust me on this one. You're welcome to have your opinion. It's a free country.
Can you imagine living in Communist China and not being able to google anything you want or not being able to post your opinions on "certain" matters? Wow.
Please subscribe to HM Magazine. That's the goal of the commercial. And, if anyone is interested in helping support the effort to get this on certain tv shows (i believe that's going to take money), please pray along these ends and/or contact me.

| WHOA!!! Where did the "I am judging anybody" personally concept come from???
I know who Doug Van Pelt is and HM....I first starting reading Heaven's Metal when it was still a B/W fanzine and read for many years until it started covering more and more of bands that did not interest me..but still thought it was a quality magazine....
I simply was stating my belief/opinion about not just the gwar commercial but the whole "where does a Christian draw the line on interaction with the world?" discussion
I ask the same question but what a different angle...Why is my opinion simply a "rush to judgement" that is dismissed right off the bat???
I ask the creative force behind the commercial to take time and weigh out what I have said....It may be their minds that are changed after some time...Then again neither side may change their minds..Who's to say?
I realize that this discussion could go back and forth with varying levels of intensity..which I SINCERELY do NOT want...
PLEASE understand I was not judging a particular person {I do not have that authority and I understand that}...I simply responding to the discussion...
While I still do disagree with the commercial, I would still pray with you if you wanted me to, I would still sit by you at church and worship With you, and I would still sit down eat a slab of pizza with you and talk about the goodness of God the Father!

| I think the thing of it is that we are living in a real world and exposed to real things. Just because you're one thing doesn't mean you can't be another. Just because you are associated with people that act a certian way or do certian things dosen't make you bad. I know that scripture says that we are judged by the company we keep other places talks about how we're judged by what comes out of our hearts or mouths BUT (yeah here's her but) if we judge others unworthy to associate with what does that say about our love for God? I think that we should be trying to get to a point where we can love others despite our differences instead of only really loving those who we can agree wholeheartedly with. Hate the sin not the sinner oh and I don't flame people - I just give them gentle pokes with my needles!! lol | |

| I'm not too good at knitting slippers better at crocheting those. Course I could never be a full time crocheter cuz slang for them is "hookers" - no lie. I am armed and dangerous with 2 needles and the word of the Lord. | |
