This actually sounds like an argument against. If the music itself is the road to hell then why show your hand by adding the symbols and imagery?
If someone is already in his hands then what does a musician (double whammy there) have to offer? That means that the buying and selling of souls has no market.

Satan doesn't have to worry about being so blatant about it anymore, as much as he used to be, because no one believes he exists. You can watch a purely Satanic movie or music video and not give it a second thought, because in your mind he doesn't exist. So why would he have to worry about hiding it?
Unfortunitly many who are inexperienced play with the occult only to find out too late that wicked spirits are all too real. Satan uses it like an expert fishermen uses bait. He know what attracts and lures the unsteady and inexperienced, and he dangles it in front of them, and the inexperienced must pass on by and suffer the consequences. Too many examples of people fooling around with the occult exist to scoff at the notion, only later to be plagued by demons, and tortured, lead into insanity, and sometimes even into committing murder and suicide. It is happening all around you my friend, and I doubt not to a few on this board.
Why do you single out the 80s?

But you stated that he already has the world in his hands while many argue that they are there to win you over.
This contradicts what you previously posted. He doesn't need bait if he already has the world in his boat. So which is it?edit on 4-3-2013 by daskakik because: (no reason given)

This is a good example and it is a cultural thing. In some places far more conservative female acts would get the same critique and in others people might think that your comment is prudish.

Yes, but the words were not mine. I merely quoted what Jehovah God has to say on the matter. And then gave some proof positive points to show that it is true.

You said it, "to you" it might seem that way. My whole point is that it will look different to different people. Some choose to call that difference satanic and some of us don't, for whatever reason. It isn't because it frightens us or because we are good sheeple believing whatever we are told.
See here is the thing, religion can be used as a tool for controlling others and many people believe that is exactly what every religion, other than theirs, is doing.

I mean, I love classic rock and I even have a Dark Side of the Moon album cover tattoo--which is affiliated with Illuminati/Satan symbolism; but, I would rather try to love all living things, than to worship Satan(evil manifest or worship of the Self...however you like to break it down).
Like I said, I don't know what I believe; but, you should ask yourself again, is Satan just a silly gimmick?

Doesn't this kind of prove that even if you emulate, to the point of marking your body, what others may consider a satanic symbol it doesn't necessarily mean you are evil or satanic?
I think the question is, can Satan just be a silly gimmick?
I think that the answer is yes.

Again, to you, it might seem that way. That does not change that fact of what it really is.

My opinion is of little consequence. On the other hand God's does have import:
No it does not prove such a thing.
Not at all. The Bible is too explicit in who Satan is and what he is doing to mankind.

Yes, believe what you want. If to you that behavior seems acceptable and doesn't raise any flags then I really don't know what to say nor do I have the desire to.
Not really a prude honestly, but there is a line. Is it not obvious when and how often nowadays it's being crossed? And how almost each day the line gets slowly pushed back a bit further so we tolerate more garbage? What are they gonna sneak in music/videos next that we are gonna try and justify?
Just realize these artists have millions of fans worldwide who they influence every second. Music is a different form of entertainment all together. Not like movies or games. Gets stuck in your head and loops specific parts over and over subconsciously. You don't even know you're doing it. Just don't rule out possibilities like this because they're "crazy" or out there.
That's all I'm saying
I don't know what I believe...
