Marilyn Manson Options

Is it wrong to listen to Marilyn Manson if you're a christian?

[azn_r4pf4n]

remember, this is my viewpoint, im not debating, im just putting my opinion.
my viewpoint: yes, it is wrong.

why? it would offend me quickly... i dont want to listen to songs that offend my religion. could possibly harm my faith if i even listen to just one of his songs.

but here's sort-of a twisted example of that:

Utada's new American debut is Exodus 04.

Track 01 is Devil Inside (a club hit that actually made Number #1 in the Billboard Club Hits). I listened to it for a while and it kinda harmed my faith (i dont wanna listen to it anymore).. I don't know what religion Utada is.. but here's more.. 2 tracks later, to Track 03, the song "Workout," she sings "I was dancing with a born-again Christian."

That gets me confused, but my question to Utada is that: Is she promoting the Devil?

Yes, I understand that some rappers put the word "devil" on their songs. Here's the verses to hear what Utada sang.

Devil Inside:

Maybe there's a devil or something like it inside // Maybe there's a devil or something like it inside of me // Devil or something like it inside // Maybe there's a devil somewhere really deep inside me // Devil inside of me // Jealous angel deep inside me

The Workout:

I was talking with a born-again Christian // "So what's it like to start life all over?" // He said "Amen, //I feel like I've been rediscovering the tomb of Tutankhamen." //

Confusion right there.... i deeply respect Utada's singing, but sometimes, that kind of stuff can confuse me.
