Florian Schneider, Kraftwerk Co-Founder, Dies Aged 73
As well as being forefathers of the synthpop that would dominate the 1980s and beyond, the title track of Trans-Europe Express was sampled in 1982 by Afrika Bambaataa & the Soul Sonic Force for one of the earliest hip-hop hits, Planet Rock, while Computer World was hugely influential on the house and techno music that emerged from Chicago and Detroit that decade.

I know this is an uncomfortable truth for many of you but Florian Schneider is currently burning in the fires of Hell. We can be quite confident that Florian Schneider is in Hell because he did not accept Jesus Christ as his personal savior before dying. We are all sinners and have fallen short of the glory of God. The penalty for sin is death, meaning that without God's mercy and forgiveness, we should all be condemned to eternity in the Lake of Fire. But Jesus Christ suffered and died on the cross, then rose from the dead, to serve the penalty for our sins if we only accept His act of love. Florian Schneider did not accept Jesus Christ as his personal savior and was not born again, so his fate is sadly to spend eternity in Hell.
Please don't be like Florian Schneider. Many of you, like Azuma Hazuki, arrogantly proclaim that Jesus Christ isn't real, rather than face the truth that you need to be born again to receive salvation. I hope that you will chose to follow a different path than Florian Schneider did, and choose to repent and be born again. Accept our Lord Jesus Christ as your personal savior and you can be certain that you will spend eternity in Heaven with our Lord rather than joining Florian Schneider and Azuma Hazuki in Hell. Put aside the arrogance of your atheism and accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior.
If you're ready to turn away from a life of sin and to be born again, you can pray this prayer with me.
Lord Jesus Christ, I am deeply sorry for my sins, for continuing to reject your love and wound you. I choose to believe in you and I seek your mercy your forgiveness. Please come into my heart in this moment and allow me to be born again now so that I may join you in Heaven for all eternity. Help me to turn away from my sins and for my body and spirit to be healed, and to free me from my attachment to my sins. In particular, I seek to be free of my frequent and serious sins of [insert here] so that I may begin to live a new life of faith and love. I seek only your love and your mercy. In Your Holy Name I pray, Amen.
If you have committed particularly serious sins like having an abortion, engaging in homosexual acts, stealing from others, lying and committing fraud, and so many other evil acts, you should insert them in the prayer above and ask God for His mercy and to be free from the temptation of sin.
I hope you will choose a different path than Florian Schneider or Azuma Hazuki and instead choose to be born again in the light of our Lord Jesus Christ.
