Another reason I know a lot about this stuff is that my cousin is a satanist. I am not joking! It is weird! I mean, coming from a Christian family...it is very odd! A lot of the things that got him started was music...LIKE slipknot and stuff...I did not SAY THAT IT WAS or anything...I am just saying that he STARTED on this stuff. Down here, a lot of people start the whole satanic stuff with that...and believe me, it DOES NOT START OUT satanic...but eventually, after a year or two goes by, they start acting weird, and they are into a lot of that kind of stuff, and are killing black cats on Halloween, inflicting pain on themselves, peircing their skin in weird places, getting into zodiac stuff, offering things to satan, etc.... they CLAIM to be satanists...now I do not know if they TRULY are, but they CLAIM it, and it you ask me...that is just as bad! I am not saying that if you listen to that kind of stuff, that you are going to become a satanist, I am not even hinting at that...I am just saying that IF you start listening to it...be carefull! I mean, seriously! It CAN get weird...and influencing. Just watch yourself, who you hang out with, what you are being INFLUENCED by, etc. Satan is going to decieve you...I mean, it may seem innocent, like listening to something like slipknot, korn, papa roach, system of a down, etc....but once again...it CAN lead you to things that you wish that you would not have gotten into... The flesh says, 'oh...it's okay...it is just some harmless music' or something like that....but you may want to be a little precautious about your faith...I mean, I like to TRY to keep myself pure...ya know... I mean, we all have faults, but I try not to listen to hardly anything secular. I would rather listen to something more BENIFICIAL to my faith and safe for it. But, I think you'll be okay with some of the music, unless it starts cursing, putting races down, God down, Christians down, etc. That is when it does start influencing you... Well, that was just a LITTLE advice from me. (You can take it or break it, I could care less...it's up to you... I am just trying to help/warn you.) I will chat later!

P.S. I just wanted to let you know once again....I AM NOT, BY ANY MEANS putting down your bands, preaching at you, judging you, 'trying to get the speck out of your eye,' or dissing you. I am just trying to be of some help... I will always be there for questions... I may not always have the answer...but I can try! Chat later! -Heather-
