Metal Sludge — Michael Sweet of Stryper has posted on his social media once again with an opinion that shockingly, not everyone is buying.
Sweet is always quick to stir the pot, but isn’t always accepting of those with a view that differs from his or his staunch religious beliefs and when someone goes against his view, he’s often quick to jump on them, as seen in a few exchanges below.
In the Stryper frontman’s latest rant, he seems to be confused as to why fans will “lift a beer” (his words) in appreciation of music, or lyrics that are “praising Satan, Sex and God knows what else” (also his words) and he can’t understand select fans “distaste for Stryper“, (more from Sweet).
There are upwards of 1,000 comments and replies to Sweet, which we have screen captured and shared a few of those below.

It’s interesting to see people comment on their distaste for Stryper. Often they say they don’t like us yet they really aren’t that familiar with us.
They would never admit that most likely it’s the lyrical content. If that’s true – how sad. To not like something you don’t even understand. Yet people will listen to bands praising Satan, sex and God knows what else and lift a beer and say “I love this!” The world is a very peculiar place.I mean I love Judas Priest but I don’t love most of the lyrics. I can still enjoy the music and appreciate the musicianship.
