***They simply are not occult gateways of any kind.***
That simply isn't true. I can't tell you ther number of people I know personally who have found music a motivation force in their pursuit of occultism.
You are blind to it's influence.
It simply is true. I can tell you the number of people I know personally that have never found music a motivation force in their persuit of anything but more music: ALL of them. It is NOT a gateway. Anyone that tells you the music they listened to led them to the occult is LYING to you. They were already interested in the occult and picked music accordingly.
You are assuming that we are so morally weak that we are easily seduced by such influences. How subtly insulting.
