Letter to Mr. David J. Stewart Part 3 of 4 - open letter

May 24, 2010 - PRLog -- Just because a person listens to, sings or produces heavy metal music does not make them Satanist. You have said the following, which I have shown about your statement as being wrong, and that it is very clear you have not done your homework.
One of the things Ronnie said in one of his songs is as follows. “Don’t live for Pleasure, make life your Treasure.” This does not sound very Satanic to me.

The word humble is the best definition for Ronnie. He was the most humble man. Everyone who met him knows this. And that he was also very generous. Apparently you have not done your homework.

I am a fan, and Ronnie’s music has not turned me from God as you claim. By judging and condemning Ronnie, you are playing God. Who gave you that right??? Who gave you the right to say he is in hell??? Is it because you are Christian???

Matthew 7:21 (New International Version)
21"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

There are many people that are not Christian, not Satanist and of another Religion, this does not make them bad people, and after seeing how judgmental you are of Dio, Blackmore, Osbourne, and Mustang. I realize you are a moron. Using Christianity as you tool to falsely accuse someone of wrong doing without doing enough research and only telling half truths that lead people into a web of lies and that you have used those lies to take what Ronnie has said out of context. Let me quote you once more. You attached only part of what Ronnie actually said. This is from your Rant about Ronnie.

RONNIE JAMES DIO
AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

FT : Do you have many thoughts on politics and religion ?

I don't dote on religion. Religion, I think, is something that you can never argue, and you can certainly never convince the other person because even though there's a bible -- how concrete is it? It depends on the point of view. So religion is not something I'm involved in, other than the fact that having been in BLACK SABBATH it seems like there's a connection. I just think there's a lot of similes and metaphors and things that have gotten me to that point. Religion, much like fantasy, much like the tales of King Arthur is, again, something that is so difficult to put a hand on and say "this actually happened." It's such a matter of belief that you're really dealing in the same kind of properties. My fantasy writing is coupled with some religious overtones as well because they are part and partial to, again -- they're not the same thing, but you see what I mean. ...

And here from the same source is the answer Ronnie gave.

RJD : I don't dote on religion.

It depends on the point of view. So religion is not something I'm involved in, other than the fact that having been in BLACK SABBATH it seems like there's a connection.

It's such a matter of belief that you're really dealing in the same kind of properties. My fantasy writing is coupled with some religious overtones as well because they are part and partial to, again -- they're not the same thing, but you see what I mean. As for politics, I've not gotten involved because my time is taken doing what I do as a performer. I do deal with charities though. There are some that are very close to my heart, but politically I just feel that we're in a mess. Beaurocracy has continually eaten itself by the tail, and it's a problem that never ends. It's gotten too big and it's a horrible place we live in ! A lot of that has to go down to the government. It's our government and it's up to us to change it. We can throw all the barbs we want at the people we elect, but we're the ones who elected them so it's our choice. But again, the 2 subjects are pretty unarguable, so I stay away from them.

I am sure many have heard and said, there are two things you do not talk about to strangers, That is never talk politics or Religion. And why is that? Because no two people on this planet have exactly the same belief’s, maybe the same basic belief’s. They are passionate issues and that have brought people to war over these two subjects. More people have been killed in the name of religion that any every war on the planet. They are unarguable. And by doing so, people like you distort the truth of the meaning of what a person said. Just as you have Ronnie. If he were a Satanist then he would be involved with Religion. Because Satanist worship Satan. Ronnie stated ”So religion is not something I'm involved in.” How then is Ronnie a Satanist????? He also never said he did not believe in a creator? He himself was asking the same question I am sure many have asked, how concrete is it ?

Ronnie stated "even though there's a bible -- how concrete is it ?"

The real fact of the matter is. The bible is missing many books I am sure were relevant to it. Some of what was missing is now being discovered. And some was added to by people intending to instill their belief’s. Making it corrupted. It has been translated so many times by people who think they knew the meaning of the words. But even in some cases they were wrong. No disrespect for any scholar who may have done this. Mistakes can happen. Intentional and Unintentional??

It seems you are resorting to lying, to slander Dio, and now you have  been caught  lying about Ozzy.

You said “The Ultimate Sin,” has a girl with no pants on in front of 3-crosses on the album cover.

This is a lie. She is not naked and there are no crosses.

You said your site is not a hate site. I think it is, if you have to resort to lying to make your point.

You sound more like Satan himself, the accuser. Telling lies about someone without any justification.

Dio is not a Devil. In his songs he sings about people like you. Telling lies to make your point. Claiming it in the name of God. He was honest which is, more than I can say for you. You have made me and others like me feel ashamed to be Christian.!!!

John 8:44 (New International Version)
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

You said your web site: “Satan is so subtle”.

Yes, you are, aren’t you?

It is things such as this that cause people to question the validity of the bible in the first place. Because the ministers tell lies about others. Just as you have done. Then they wonder if the bible is true because you use it to make your point while you tell lies with it.

2 Corinthians 11:14 (New International Version)

14And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

You have lied.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but tell the truth when you do it for Heaven's sake.
