Will I eventually become an Anti-Christ or Illumaniti if I become a singer, dancer and artist?
I come from a strict religious background, but love my arts, I am a dancer, actor and choreographer. I am however torn into two, I want to develop in the world of entertainment, but my elders say I will loose my soul in the world of entertainment. You look at all the stuff that goes on in music today, or the anti-christ and illumanati symbols and signs subliminally being put in our minds by artists like Lady Gaga, Jay Z etc, what kind of artist can I be in a world where entertainers are more like soft porn stars (mainly the poor ladies) to get success. Do I have to sit on a stool and play a guitar to stay away from the madness, is it really safe to venture into this world?

It is possible to become a singer, dancer, actor, or choreographer without being overtly sexual. What matters is the art, the talent, and the quality of production. It is not a situation where you have to choose between two incompatible extremes... as long as you keep your religion separate from your art of course!
Nope, they'll put you in the Lady Gaga Satan Factory and you'll come out looking like a cross between Nikki Sixx, Michael Jackson, Divine, Enigma and Zsa Zsa Gabor. Flee, run, hide!
"the anti-christ and illumanati symbols and signs subliminally being put in our minds by artists like Lady Gaga, Jay Z etc"
You know, we hear so much about those subliminal symbols, you'd figure they could give a few examples. Or are they so subliminal that nobody ever saw one, which then begs the question, how do we know they are there in the first place?
Or (just a wild thought) maybe there are no such things? Hmm.....
Oh jeez... I guess this is where Christian music artists come from.
But I'm pretty sure that this person won't become an antichrist. I think there's only supposed to be one of those. And even then it's a mythical being.
I don't understand the difficulty with "loose" and "lose".
Get an education first, that should sort out the religious affliction.
1- Lady Gaga and Jay Z are both HORRIBLE representations of the entertainment industry. Anyone I know who listens to music for the sake of listening to music and not because the artist is popular will tell you both of them suck ass.
2- People who don't exist can't put subliminal messages into anything. The illuminati were nothing more than a group of rouge scientists who were hunted down by the church for daring to disagree with them. They disbanded in the 17th century because there were so few of them left.
I also hate to break it to you, but the anti-christ doesn't exist either. He never has.
3- It's really only modern pop / modern rap where the "entertainers are more like soft porn stars (mainly the poor ladies)". If you actually listened to or watched videos for some underground music you'ld realize that you look like an idiot for generalizing the entire music industry that way.
"Will I eventually become an Anti-Christ or Illumaniti if I become a singer, dancer and artist?"
Yes.
"...is it really safe to venture into this world?"
No.
"Will I eventually become an Anti-Christ or Illumaniti if I become a singer, dancer and artist?"
Dunno. But it'd go a long way to explain Lady Gaga.
Thank fuck for Iron Maiden. The hardest-working group in the world. Worked their bollocks off to get to the top, and got there, yet still maintaining their integrity.
When pap music comes and goes, with the 'in one ear, out the other' ephemeral & disposable irrelevance they supposedly call 'music', Iron Maiden are still filling stadiums . Their music is eternal.
"Will I eventually become an Anti-Christ or Illumaniti if I become a singer, dancer and artist?"
If you can even ask this question, then how the hell did you get interested in entertainment in the first place? If your interests and your morals are so mutually exclusive, then why hasn't your brain exploded?
I think the entertainment industry is more desperate than you think. They've been selling us the same schlock for years because they're too afraid to try something new because it might not sell.
Remember, money is the root of all evil for a reason.
No, you will not become Antichrist or an Illuminati. (Learn to spell it before you start believing in a fairy tale, m'kay?)
If you enter the world of classic dancing and acting, there is little risk for soft porn, I'd guess.
A prima ballerina is no porn star, she's too skinny.
Dame Judi Dench and Dame Maggie Smith are no porn stars either, they are too clever.
1. Please learn to spell Illuminati.
2. You dance, so you're already going to hell. Might as well enjoy it.
What make you even suspect that you might have the charisma of an antichrist?
You could never be an Illumiati. And Illuminatus,even, is unlikely seeing as that movement sisn't last beyond the 1600s. BTW at least learn to differentiate between Latin singulars and Latin plurals.
As for the last two sentences of the posting: you are not able to make up your own mind about these things? Oh, I understand, you have sold your ming and soul to your 'elders'. Satan would have been preferable, if he existed.
Which religion out there is paranoid about the Illumanati?
Also, you know who danced and sang? King David. Of course, then he went out and committed adultery with Bathsheba and tried to kill her husband, but it seems like he stayed in God's favor, so I think you're safe in either instance.
If this guy is freaked out about Satan in Lady GaGa and Jay-Z's music, what would happen if he listened to actual Satanic music, like Behemoth or Deicide?
His head would asplode.
Dame Judi Dench and Dame Maggie Smith are no porn stars either, they are too clever.
They aren't porn stars because there isn't a lot of demand for lemonparty-type stuff. Is Asia Carrera not clever?
"1- Lady Gaga and Jay Z are both HORRIBLE representations of the entertainment industry. Anyone I know who listens to music for the sake of listening to music and not because the artist is popular will tell you both of them suck ass."
Well, that's your opinion. I happen to admire both Gaga and Jay Z as artists. Read or listen to/view Lady Gaga's Manifesto of Little Monsters; she can be quite astute when she wants to be.
"2- People who don't exist can't put subliminal messages into anything. The illuminati were nothing more than a group of rouge scientists who were hunted down by the church for daring to disagree with them. They disbanded in the 17th century because there were so few of them left."
What's your source for this claim? AFAIK, the historical Illuminati was a European revolutionary society founded by Dr. Adam Weishaupt in the 18th century. The organization espoused an extreme form of anelightenment philosophy that advocated for the overthrow of all established governments. They attempted to infiltrate European Masonry but were promptly removed from the legitimate lodges and faded into obscurity (and myth) after that.
OOOOH! I want I can be promoted to Antichrist just by singing!
...apparently the plural is more theologically sound than the singular, since it's what Jesus used, but he basically meant what Mohammed did by 'false prophets'--people trying to rip off his shtick. So basically, refrain from claiming to be the Second Coming and you're safe. Strutting your stuff may get you damned, but no antichristing.
Then of course there's Hellboy.
Did you hear he's now the legitimate King of England by way of Pendragon on his mother's side? (The House of Windsor will not be pleased. It does not seem that he will be impelled to duel either Her Majesty or any of the princes for the position.)
Or anyone with a guitar. This whole crown-stealing thing is getting out of hand.
Yes. If you become a singer, dancer, or artist, you become the Anti-Christ. Fortunately, you will stop being the Anti-Christ if someone else becomes a singer, dancer, or artist.
You will also become an Illuminati, and remain so. Fortunately, since they decided that every singer, dancer, and artist in the world gets to join, they have never been able to get anything done, as their bylaws require a majority vote of 50% of their membership to do anything, and they're lucky to get 1% to the meetings. You'll still get the discount at any Hard Rock restaurant.
Odds are, if you are a singer/dancer/artist, you already ARE in opposition to the "Christian" hierarchy, since you are almost certainly infected with teh gay.
And, no, it's NOT safe to venture into this world - best you stay in the basement where it's safe, and mom and dad see to your every need.

1- Lady Gaga and Jay Z are both HORRIBLE representations of the entertainment industry. Anyone I know who listens to music for the sake of listening to music and not because the artist is popular will tell you both of them suck ass.
Hey! I listen to music for the sake of listening to music, and I actually like three of her songs. I like a lot of songs whose artists happen to be popular, because those are the songs I end up hearing everywhere. I'm too lazy to branch out and look for other stuff that's not as popular but is probably better.
I just like whatever is enjoyable to me, even if I know the song/lyrics/artist(s) are technically bad. "Right Round" was pretty much panned by critics, and I can see why (the biggest complaint was "misogynistic"), but the bad aspects of the song somehow don't stop me from enjoying it. When it comes to songs I enjoy, the only thing for me that distinguishes good songs from so-so or bad songs is that the latter a) get on my nerves pretty quickly if I listen to them too much, b) start sounding really bad if I really stop and listen to the music and the lyrics, c) are more enjoyable when I'm at a party or some other high-energy party-hard situation. I guess, objectively, Lady Gaga and other such artists aren't "good", but really, they're in a totally separate category from "good" music. They're good in their own way, in their own musical universe. If you can embrace that universe, you can enjoy the music. I guess I just find it fairly easy to embrace that universe; but I think I still "live" in the "regular" universe, where "real" music is sung by people like Sarah MacLachlan and Dido and Chantal Kreviazuk. XD
Anyway, just my two cents. I don't think enjoying bad songs makes you a mindless sheep. XD
Taylor Swift, dumba**. You woun't find anything less sexual this side of Frank Sinatra.
Okay, maybe that last part was hyperbole, but my point stands. She's quite wholesome for the world of pop.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
