You didn't read my OP at all very well, Drich. I am talking about taking the concept and imagery of Hell, demons, and Satan and enjoying it as a sign of rebellion. Christians clutch their pearls over any sign or symbol of evil and I liked the idea of mocking that display of fear and weakness.
Mostly though, this is not something I have done and it is not something I was encouraging as some sort of attack. Taking the example of Lil NasX, he was using a controversial symbol to tell his story of independence and freedom from oppressive and abusive ideology, knowing full well that those he was rebelling against would not hear or see his story and would merely get their panties twisted over him commandeering their iconography. In the same way, I expressed a desire to write my own version of a story I once had held in high regard, the story of a boy chosen by God, built on a hill of lies. After all the cognitive dissonance I endured in order to make Joseph Smith's story a heroic tale, a righteous tale, setting aside my instincts telling me that it was a scam, it would be healing and fun to write it as a story of madness and duality.
