Clearly, my opinion of Christian rock is any thing that acknowledges any of the trinity- The Father, The Son, or The Holy Ghost. Not necessarily a song about saving souls or bible story telling. Satanic music, on the other hand, I feel is anything that promotes evil doing like it's a good thing. See my example ZZ Top. To clarify: I don't remember any bible story that has Jesus leaving Chicago on a bus or otherwise. He is acknowledging that Jesus exists by saying he just left. It could be argued that it is someone named Jesus, but not Jesus Christ because he doesn't say it that way, however, he does mention Jesus turning water into wine which is clearly biblical. Any other questions. Are we clear now?
As clear as Muddy Water . . LOL!
Jesus just left Chicago and he's bound for New Orleans.
Well now, Jesus just left Chicago and he's bound for New Orleans.
Yeah, yeah.
Workin' from one end to the other and all points in between.
Took a jump through Mississippi, well, muddy water turned to wine.

Yeah, yeah.
Then out to California through the forests and the pines.
Ah, take me with you, Jesus.
You might not see him in person but he'll see you just the same.

Yeah, yeah.
You don't have to worry 'cause takin' care of business is his name.

This is Evil?
Of course evil is purely subjective, the Christian church doesn't have a claim to what good & evil is, not to mention one Man's evil is another Man's good.
Satanism is only evil to those that fear it, like Christianity is only relevant to those that believe in it.
In your logic any song that mentions anything to do with the devil / satan etc. is Satanic . . . which it is not. The same would go for Christian rock, in my opinion there needs to be a little more intention and conviction than just tossing out a few Biblical catch phrases or mentioning aspects of the Christian Trinity.
