mhlogo90Join our campaign to get Heavy Metal recognised as a religion on the 2011 census!

Submitted by Mike Randall and written by Kim Williams, we have had this version of The Lord’s Prayer sent in to aid our campaign to get Heavy Metal recognised as a religion on the 2011 census!

The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father,
Who art in metal,
Lemmy be thy name,

Thy hairs be spun,
Moshpits to come,
At Hammerfest as it was in Wales,

Give us this day our daily death metal,
And forgive us our bodyslams,
As we forgive those who bodyslam against us,

And lead us not into Christianity,
But deliver us from Cliff Richard,
For thine is Metallica, Megadeth and Gojira,

Slayer forever,
Amen.

Join our campaign to get Heavy Metal recognised as a religion on the 2011 census!

Our father,
who art from Aston,
Iommi be thy name,

Thy hair be long,
Iron Maiden be thy song,
At Wacken as it is in Donnington,

Give us this day our daily shred,
And forgive us our trespasses in backstage areas,
As we forgive those who liked nu-metal.

And lead us to Within Temptation,
And deliver us In The Sign Of Evil by Sodom,
For thine is the King Diamond, the power metal and the gore grind

Blast beats forever
SLAYYAARRGGGGHHH!!!

Adrian Smith

Maybe all fans of Liverpool will ask for a religion too!!! :) )
Come on, we got music to listen not wasting time with this crap!
Who wants much more money with this?
We hate being controlled but this is what is trying to be done right now.

Iron Maiden’s gonna get you … all!!!

Up the Irons!!!

I won’t be supporting this campaign. Metal, to me, stands for everything an organised religion doesn’t.

“And lead us not into Christianity”?

That’s right, rebel against one religion by using the ‘prayer’ of another.

On the flip side, I guess it’s only a bit of a laugh so no real harm done.

Horseguts

*claps* ahahaha

Repka’s one is betterer.

Horseguts

Our Brother,
Who art in Heaven (& Hell)
Dio be thy name,

Thy groupie’s cum,
Circle pits that spun
at Hammerfest that’s in Wales

Give us this day our daily Death Metal
And forgive us for Deathxcore
As we forgive those who play it in public,

Lead us not into Christianity,
and deliver us from Hip Hop
For thine is the Maiden, the priests & Black Sabbath

Jager for everyone,
Amen.

Horseguts

For thine is Iron Maiden, Judas Priests & Black Sabbath*

Repkas gets my vote, simply cos it’s a a lot better!

king of heavy metal

repkas version is slightly better but both cool

Repka’s is excellent.

The guy

Tha’s just as gay as Bezer

All hail Repka’s version! \m/

So against Christianity, but all other religions are fine?

Adrian Smith

Ok, let’s say Religion done!
What’s next? Politics?
- 4 years Primeminister must be black metal fan;
- then succeeds a pm that is listening death metal;

Again, who and how much money will gain if this succeeds?

I’m with Jim, aren’t we united enough just by the music?

Our Father
Who Art In Metal(core),
Howard be thy name.

Thy Hairs be long,
As I lay dying be thy song
At Wâldrock as it is in Burgum

Give us this day our daily Metalcore
And forgive us for Bring Me The Horizon
As we forgive those who listen to it.

And lead us into All That Remains
And Deliver us from Deathcore
For Thine is Bleeding Through, Job For A Cowboy and Parkway Drive.

Bullet For My Valentine Forever,

Amen.

I think it sounds pretty funny. Not to be taken seriously though. It is just a bunch of nonsense when you look at it in a very critical way.

Robmeister

Our father
Who art in metal
Eddy be thy name

Thy hairs be long
Iron maiden be thy song
At Wacken as it is in Wales

Give us this day our daily moshpits
And Preserve us from he who is in the water
As we preserve those who fall in moshpits

And lead us into Kreator
And deliver us from 50cent
For thine is Nile, Iced Earth and Cannibal Corpse

Slayer Forever
Amen

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep
Pray The Lord My Soul To Keep
If I Die Before I Wake
Pray The Lord My Soul To Take

Amen

Everything Louder Than Everything Else

DONT FALL FOR THIS!! by joining this campaign you are agreeing to be part of the machine, since when has metal been about doing whatever the government says when it tells you to pull your trousers down and bend over?
THIS CENSUS IS UNLAWFUL. It might be LEGAL but is definately UNLAWFUL. (look up a bloke called John Harris on youtube for more about that. Or Robert: Menard). It is the most intrusive census ever, they want to know who you sleep with, sexuality, income, religion, illnesses, and lots of other questions they have no right to ask and that hitler would have loved to have known.

They also want to know stuff like how many bedrooms your house has so they can reevaluate you for council tax and put you in a higher bracket if possible (bet they wont move ppl down a band tho).

Also it’s not just our government you have to trust, Lockheed Martin won the contract, they are a USA defence contractor with worldwide interests including the gathering of inteligence, and whom I believe to be responsible for the war crimes such as deployment of depleted uranium in Iraq which is making our troops ill and newborn babies there having birth defects and dying. (google it for sources and also look at wiki).
Because they are a USA company they will be obligated by the patriot act to provide data on to the federal government – and eventually the north american union (the planned NAU is similar to the EU).
Also they subcontract to IBM who was allegedly involved in the holocaust (again, google this).
A company called Capita is also involved (look on wiki how much of this country is run by capita and serco). Many data leaks and losses in the last few years has come from capita, including payslips dumped in a street.

Combine all this with EU datasharing laws, and the goons working for an organisation called “common purpose”, and can you really trust them with your data?

I will refuse to fill it in even if they jail me, I am not going to agree to stand-under their authority, and I will be breaking no laws by doing so – this is a common law jurisdiction and I do not consent to intrusive and unlawful statutes. I WILL stand my ground and I hope you all do the same. Dont put metal as a religion, just completely refuse to fill it in.

Do not submit. Do not be controlled. Do not be a slave. Stand up for your rights and freedoms.

And finally… TURN THE VOLUME UP TO 11 !!!
