It must have been a message from God. He doesn't like Christian rock apparently.

And who would have thought Mosh Pits and Christianity would be said in the same breath?

Barry Artiste, I like this story. It's good stuff.
This is an important story; I'm glad no one was hurt.

One can be certain God was looking after them, perhaps a warning to quit Moshing to christian rock?

Perhaps. I never thought those two words would go together personally!
