'''George Craige Lewis''', more commonly known as '''G. Craige Lewis''', is a [[Texas]]-based [[Christian]] [[minister]].

==Satanic music==
Lewis preaches that [[Rock music|rock]] (especially [[heavy metal]]) and [[Hip-hop|rap and hip-hop]] music is the work of [[Satan]] and that some [[music]]ians are [[demonic possession|possess]]ed. His rants are collected in the documentaries ''The Truth Behind Hip-Hop'' and ''The Truth Behind Rock and Roll''. Note that these are all published recently, not during the 1980s [[moral panic]]. Lewis, of course, received his message directly from 
his mental illness
 
his ass
 [[God]].<ref name="vision"/>

*Heavy metal and hip-hop damage youth causing [[premarital sex]], "sexual relationships without the consent of their parents",<ref> It looks like young people shouldn't date anyone without asking their parents first.</ref> drug use, [[Satanism|Satan worship]], and suicide.<ref name="vision">http://exministries.com/vision.html</ref> 
*Hip-hop culture prepares the way for the [[Antichrist]].<ref>[https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwixwIyt6qfXAhXJ6xoKHTYyCcgQtwIINTAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dt3SGsNaUNqs&usg=AOvVaw3d9fUWmWDq3m-b07rh6BW9]</ref> (But wait, wouldn't it supposedly be a ''good'' thing to bring on the [[End Times]]?)
*Hip-hop culture is "the greatest attack on the youth of the world".<ref>http://www.stripes.com/news/dallas-minister-tells-pacific-bases-hip-hop-is-satanic-1.47572</ref> (Yes, hip-hop is more harmful than world hunger, [[AIDS]] and anything else that harms young people)

The documentaries were debunked by internet critic Marc Mues in his web series [http://muesproductions.com/2011/10/28/truth-behind-the-truth-behind-hip-hop-curse-of-a-culture-part-one/ ''The Truth Behind the Truth Behind Hip Hop''] and [http://muesproductions.com/2011/10/30/the-truth-behind-the-truth-behind-rock-and-roll/ ''The Truth Behind the Truth Behind Rock and Roll''].

==Other prejudices==
Lewis is also a [[homophobia|homophobe]],<ref>[http://www.gcraige.blogspot.com/2011/04/why-blacks-should-be-homophobic.html Post about why blacks should be homophobic]</ref>, a [[Conspiracy theorist|conspiracy nut]]<ref>[https://truthwinsout.org/opinion/2013/01/32801/]</ref> and he believes in [[Witchcraft|witches]]<ref>[http://www.exministries.com/mother-of-all-gods-1-2-black-witches-are-coming-to-a-church-near-you/]</ref>.
