The fact that this has to be explained is a clear indication of the "do as thou wilt" Christian culture that is dominating our country. People who profess to know Christ and to be religious will defend satanically glorifying imagery and media. The primary reason for this is biblical literacy, lack of spiritual discernment, and Christian syncretism. Most Christians in America have created their on version of their Christian faith and called it normal. To the extent that it's not obvious that a person who professes to be in the Light of Christ, transferred from the kingdom of darkness, and follow the eternal Savior who sacrificed Himself to defeat the spiritual curse behind fear, horror and death. Christians who defend being entertained by horror, fear, and death have aligned themselves with Satan's agenda. They are proving by belittling the genre and their engagement with it that they are under satanic influence, whether they admit it or not. They are also acknowledging that they are losing the daily spiritual battle mentioned in Ephesians 6:12 which says, we don't battle against flesh and blood, but against rulers, powers, world forces of darkness, and the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. There is a lot of growth in spiritual maturity and biblical literacy that needs attention in our country.
