FRiend, I’m not saying you’re crazy…

Seriously…

I am not French nor do I play a Frenchman on TV. But perhaps the French view their Revolution the same way we view the Civil War. Over here, we have re-enactments and all kinds of war and violence “celebrations.” Personally, I have zero interest watching a re-enactment, let alone being an actor. But those folks seem to love it.

And the Confederate soldiers…welll…they’re obviously klansmen and Nazis. /sarc.

Do I think they’re demonic? Heck no. But I betcha there are people who feel the Confederate re-enactors are racist.

And that is in THIS country. Can you imagine what foreigners think of Confederate re-enactors?

I view that segment of the ceremony as being by French people, for French people. And just as our Confederate re-enactors aren’t klansmen, I don’t think Hojira et al are demonic.

Now, is it PLAUSIBLE there was demonic influence? Sure. But I live in probable most of the time. I also know a bit about Gojira, and at worst they’re environmentalists. And French.

I also know a bit about contemporary metal. Most of it is garbage, but there are some very creative and awesome bands, such as Sabaton which write songs and albums about military history. People think THEY are Nazis etc.

I stay away from the darker bands and that nonsense. They are pretty open about it. They also suck. There is such balance in nature.

I hope this makes sense. God bless you and have a great evening.

Agreed, And yes, it makes sense. You have a great evening, as well.
