I actually don’t buy into this line of thinking at all. This is witch hunt territory. Dudes a commie and that is scummy enough for me to think he sucks. However, I listen to a wide range of music while working. One band I listen to occasionally is Slayer. They have imagery like demons and pentagrams and shit. The lead singer is also a very devout Catholic and religious guy. He has been interviewed where he has said he feels the lyrics are about reality, good vs evil.
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.
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
