Christians have no business flaunting satanic imagery. Wearing a pentagram doesn't make one a satanist per se, I'll give you that. But it does associate you with darkness.
Darkness does not equate evil. God made heroes out of many unsavory people. Also people supposedly walking in light have committed more evil than some silly band.
Things are not black and white. Never were. What matters is actions and intentions.
I guess so but we arent talking about mother theresa here this guy was a loser on so many levels which makes me think this was more than a casual association with satan
"Privately, Teresa experienced doubts and struggle in her religious beliefs which lasted nearly 50 years until the end of her life.[133] Teresa expressed grave doubts about God's existence and pain over her lack of faith:
"Where is my faith? Even deep down ... there is nothing but emptiness and darkness. ... If there be God – please forgive me. When I try to raise my thoughts to Heaven, there is such convicting emptiness that those very thoughts return like sharp knives and hurt my very soul.[134]"
Yet the corrupt Vatican II cannonizes her and holds her up as a great saintly example.
Is dark vs light reality? Should it only be discussed on Sundays? Can it be shown or sung about? If I feel a certain way and paint something dark, am I that darkness? I do not believe this line of thinking.
I love God. I love Jesus. I feel Jesus teachings, and really, the 10 commandments, are the way.
I have been through and seen a lot of bad things, and if I draw, paint, sing about bad things, it doesn’t mean I embrace it.
Idk man. There's a difference between, say, Paradise Lost, and Marina Abramovic hosting parties where the food looks like people. "It's art, bro" isn't an excuse for wearing a mask with overtly satanic symbolism
one can portray the dark contours of the soul and the evil forces that plague our reality and be far from promoting any of it. Check Alice Cooper, devout Christian and deacon at his little Baptist church. But on stage he loves horror, twisted humor and shock because it can entertain and get one thinking.

Look further into Mother T - may not be the saint you thought.
Just looked on wikipedia. Check this shit out:

I'm advocating more in general not to bye-cep.
