Over the years, I have had much interaction with Christians who either support the use of CCM or sympathize with those who do. The following listing provides eight entirely false claims that have been made against me by certain CCM supporters, apologists, sympathizers, etc.
I very frequently use guilt-by-association fallacies to argue for my views about music.
My views about music are basically a rehash of the views of certain other people with a little added “spin” of my own.
I hold that “all drums are out of line” and am against the use of all percussion.
I downplay or reject or ignore, etc. the teaching of Psalms 149 and 150 concerning divinely commanded use of percussion instruments.
I hold that listening to rock music leads to demon possession.
I teach that we must reject all or almost all modern music because either it sounds like what the music of the Golden Calf Incident (GCI) sounded like, or the music of the GCI sounded like what all or almost all modern music sounds like.
I have singled out for attack the music of one particular group of people.
I reject modern, popular kinds of instrumental music because I am a (cultural) racist.
Every one of these claims is categorically false. In reality, those who have falsely claimed that I hold these positions or hold the positions stated for the reasons stated above have zero factual evidence for their attacking me by making these false claims.
