Canadian Pastor John Van Sloten finds gOd in Metallica.  He noticed that his congregation was shrinking and there were few young people.  So he started talking about pop culture.  He then went see Metallica live and he was hooked.

When Metallica played their rock ballad “Nothing Else Matters,” Van Sloten noticed that the venue seemed suddenly church-like, and he knew he had to preach about Metallica.

Was it just a moving experience that was shared by the entire community or was it gOd speaking to him?  I guess he was so moved that he wrote a book about it.

Unlike some of those books, “The Day Metallica Came to Church” gets motivation from pop culture, and the author says some are not so comfortable with that.

Well, at least we can see Metallica!  Van Sloten seems to think he can here gOd through Metallica.

Despite Van Sloten’s idea of God speaking through everything, contradictions seem to arise, considering several of Metallica’s members (and other subjects of his preaching) are non-Christian or non-religious altogether

Hmmm…. Maybe gOd is telling Van Sloten to become an atheist!
