Although I'm not personally offended by it, and in fact I've listened to Cradle of Filth, marilyn Manson, Atreyu, and Slipknot from your list, BUT clearly some people are offended and that would include Christians. YET the fact it is offensive means nothing. The bands have every right to express themselves with that music, fans have every right to listen to it, and as long as it's not forced upon others it really doesn't matter at all what the Christians or anyone else thinks about it.

So your debate statement is true, but the impact of the claimed offense really doesn't matter.

LOL it's totally not offensive...I love listening to metal and I'm a Catholic.

I take it this doesn't include "Christian" metal either? Even though a lot of it sounds similar to the bands you mentioned...

And how can the lyrics be offensive when you can't even understand them? >.>

Sorry, it's a silly statement. Define Christians...

Then explain how all kinds of people, with all kinds of stereotypes, would be offended by Marilyn Manson.

What do you mean by offended? I'm a Christian and I think Marilyn Manson is funny. Some of their music rocks. Same with Slipknot. King Diamond is downright hilarious. I've been making fun of Abigail for years.

I prefer Maiden, Megadeth, old Metallica, Testament, Slayer... Old school. I like my metal with a little space between the cracks.

I guess I find the heavy chorus blend of todays metal a little offensive because I don't like to be bored.

Anything is only offensive to thin-skinned people who care too much.

No. Black/Death/Goth Metal is annoying and puerile, but it's not "offensive".

That "music" isn't being forced onto anyone, so only a busybody who sticks his nose where it doesn't belong would claiming it "offends" them. Such people are pretending to be offended by that noise in the same way they pretend to be offended by gays.
