Musician/Musical entertainer bashing to a whole new level.

The other day, I was reading an article on this website called 'vigilantcitizen' where they write articles on conspiracies and the like. So, there were articles about musicians, such as Lady Gaga, and Kanye West on how their music is "occult"-like, with it's "occult symbols" and what not. And you read the response from some of the readers, and it's shocking what they have to say about our world, how it's going under.. and how people should stop listening to a certain artist because of what they deem to be "occult". So, you see, they were attacking Western pop culture, and then they decided to start attacking Eastern pop culture, so far targeting on South Korea. They deemed SHINee and Narsha to be "demonic" and for people not to listen to their music if they want to be saved-- how ridiculous is that? I mean, of course there is good intention with the message that they're trying to get across, but there is always another side to that story, and I'm looking at the other side. Since the majority of the responses come from Christians, I feel like Christians are just trying to find something to hate on. At first, it was Satin, then the Jews, then the witch trials, the gays, and now pop culture. Isn't this going a bit too far? When I read those comments, I honestly feel offended seeing how I was born in the United States and my heritage is from the East Asia region. I am not hating on any religion specifically, it is just the prominent fact that most of the people posting on that website are Christians that (don't continue reading if you're an extremely religious Christian for you may find this next statement offensive) have their heads up their ass believing in what someone wrote down who-knows-when and there could have been some mistake with translating of text from language A into language B. This is only from my perspective, everyone-- don't take it to heart.
