I have never bought anything with demonic as a search tag or in the description because I'm a Christian. Do you think it would be okay to buy something demonic, or do you think that would be bad. It wouldn't be for this account, it would be for my other. I'm just wondering if its bad to buy demonic stuff if im a Christian. The only reason I wanna is because they look kinda cool. (in a way) P.S.S they are also a bit cheaper.

I'm one of the most Jack-obsessed Gaians you'll ever meet. I own almost every Jacked Up item Gaia's released. I guess the whole point of this is, so long as you're not just going out of your way to be Satanic or demonic and/or if it's just going to be worn as a black-colored item, I say go for it, man.

I suppose it depends on if you personally feel convicted for it. Really this is something that only you and God can talk out.

HA!! I found a good psuedo-reference to my point. I am an avid fan of the Christian Metal Band "Demon Hunter", and bought the deluxe-edition pre-order of thier latest CD, "Storm the Gates of Hell" which had a DVD interview thingie-ma-bob. Again, the point of this: On the new CD, there is a track titled "Follow the Wolves", and the lead singer of Demon Hunter explained that the song wass essentially telling us that, in this day and age, we're going to have to "blend-in" if we ever want to get close to those un-saved. He described it as having to be "Sheep in Wolves' Clothing", blend in, but not so much that people cannot tell the difference between you-the Christian-and the unsaved person next to you.
In Synopsis: Buy the "Demonic"-themed item if think you can still manage to be a shining example of Christ while having it equipped. Be a Sheep in Wolves' Clothing.

I'm a Christian myself and I like to wear black a lot virtually and realsiticly (my inventory is filled with all kinds of black equips xd ).
I don't think it really matters what we wear and what title it has since God really looks at our feelings on the inside and not our looks on the outside razz
To me, it's just like the Christian heavy metal bands, they may sound satanic with thier screeching and grunting, but the lyrics definately reflect Christ and that's what really matters since it's their favored style of music and they're reaching out to those who enjoy that style smile
Personally, I'd really rather not equip that red symbol in the Vampire Hunter set (which I own as well), but that's my own feelings so I just ignore that part of the set.
I also have 2 demonic anklets myself since I too liked the look of it.

Don't worry about something that just has demonic in its name. That has just been the theme of items since Gaia has begun, Angelic/Demonic, White/Black. Were things that suit you, that is what the avatar is supposed to do, emulate you, or parts of you. Don't let the names bother you. Unless you believe that wearing something that says demonic on it will make you demonic, if that is the case then refrain from doing so. Otherwise, just have fun with it and if you have a dark avi, don't act the part. If you continue to emulate Christ in all that you do, despite how your avi looks, I think you'll be on the right track.

That's very true, I make evil-looking avi's a lot just for the fun of it but I'm still a pretty nice guy razz

xWillowxMCRmyx I suppose it depends on if you personally feel convicted for it. Really this is something that only you and God can talk out. I agree. Most of the time "Demonic" is just a title.

Really this is something that only you and God can talk out. totally agree here, God gives the best advice and He speaks right to your heart. I normally dont have an issue with wearing "demonic" items but lately my demonic halo just doesnt look as "cool" as it used to.
