Religion and Music

I had an argument with my mother today, twas not the most pleasant, she desires me to go through the full catholic rites, Confirmation, because I went through baptism and first communion. Her idea was that it provides a basis to come back on, which made no sense to me, seeing as how I don't believe in the church's thoughts, nor do I worship Jehovah/Yahweh. Also, it seems somewhat against the whole point of the matter to undergo such rights and initiations when you don't believe in any of it, and for that matter, a religion that requires you to do such in order to not be punished forever after this existence, I could never follow, and would instead willfully undertake the side of its' foes and march upon its' gates (in this case that would work out as marching upon gates of heaven with the host of Lucifer.)

I felt that I should not explain my actual thoughts on religion, because she would have defiantly been furious to learn that her son is a heathen, though I have talked about it before... So this proves that she does not listen to what I say, and tones me out. Nice for a single parent to do that to her only child. :( I guess though, she does have some bearings to be mad, as I don't worship her gods, in one book there was a quote with the effect of "One should worship the gods of his fathers (mother here)" being said by an African tribesman whose son had converted to Christianity.

In Other news, I have been finding allot of Soviet Metal bands, Железный поток, Ария, and МАСТЕР being the most plentiful in terms of acquisitions. They are quite good, and I can piece together a fair amount of the Lyrics, (though often they are in English too...) though I'm not a fan of singing as such, and disregard the lyrics to most music anyways. In allot of metal, like the band Living Death, the vocals are dreadful, and thus I have learned to drown them out mentally, so that I can enjoy just the music, (though the vocal line its' self is sometimes payed attention to.)
