Beliefs
Dial-the-Truth Ministries maintains that rock music is evil, based on the Biblical instruction, "Be ye not unequally yoked with unbelievers" (II Corinthians 6:14), that both "mainstream" and "Christian rock" music are tools of Satan and that popular Christian artists such as Stryper, Frontline, Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Carman, Point of Grace, DC Talk and Jars of Clay could be "under the influence of Satan". The site has criticised Britney Spears as a "whorish woman" who provokes "youthful lusts" and parents who allow their children to listen to the Spice Girls as "co-conspirators in this cultural rape of their daughters".
Dial-the-Truth Ministries also believe that Hell is a physical place located in the core of the Earth. They also believe that Santa Claus is a form of Satan. Dial-the-Truth Ministries has additionally written on the theory of a link between the number '11' and the September 11th terrorist attacks, alleging that, "This could be the "beginning of the end" of America the great."

Famous quotes containing the word beliefs:
“The methodological advice to interpret in a way that optimizes agreement should not be conceived as resting on a charitable assumption about human intelligence that might turn out to be false. If we cannot find a way to interpret the utterances and other behaviour of a creature as revealing a set of beliefs largely consistent and true by our standards, we have no reason to count that creature as rational, as having beliefs, or as saying anything.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
“Airplanes are invariably scheduled to depart at such times as 7:54, 9:21 or 11:37. This extreme specificity has the effect on the novice of instilling in him the twin beliefs that he will be arriving at 10:08, 1:43 or 4:22, and that he should get to the airport on time. These beliefs are not only erroneous but actually unhealthy.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
“It is not to be forgotten that what we call rational grounds for our beliefs are often extremely irrational attempts to justify our instincts.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
