There are times when it could be called for. As a graphics artist, on the surface, a quick glance of some of my work would look demonic at first. But an indepth look, or perhaps learning about the backstory, or knowing me personally, you would learn that my art represents the torments of sin on the human soul, warnings against the miseries of Hell, or of Revelation. My art serves the same purpose as Jesus' vivid descriptions of Hell... to dissuade people from thinking it's a simple barbeque.
A good example, I used to be known among the pre-internet art scene as DarkWolf. I had a good number of fellow Christians tell me how demonic my alias was. But they never knew the purpose behind it, that it was to remind me of what I once was, and that I chose to never return to it. It represented the paradox of my humanity... the body full of death, the soul full of life.
To know whether it's truly demonic or Satanic, you'd have to know the person. There might be a story there that you don't know. The person might be like me, with a purpose and backstory to it, or they might simply be mislead into enjoying dark things. But do not judge before you know.

That's a good question.. but ya know what?
As Christians , none of us are perfect in what we say or do. Only Gods knows the heart of any individual.
And maybe some people need to be closer to God but have'nt quite gotten there yet..The important thing is that they beleive, and the rest will fall into place when His time is right. It's not for us to judge how others represent themselves.
I disagree with the comment you added in your details, Mrs. Paige.

Not all chrisitians are saints,neither are they perfect, they're still human and they err. They may have erred in this way, but done well in another. Just as you may have done well in creating a Godly and modest image but may have failed/erred in other areas.
If we were all to be perfect without sin, then there would be no need for God,the redeemer.
The bottom line is, we can only do our part in encouraging them to do whats right, and praying for them, and of course, setting a good example for them to follow. Hope I helped.

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking but I suspect that the "Satanic Images" are something only in your mind.
I'm a Christian and I don't have an aversion to the number 666, for example.
There once in history was a very, very evil man who had the same (very common) first name as I do...I don't consider it a Satanic name.
The American flag has 50 pentagrams on it...etc., etc.

God put those there to warn you about the false sheep. He wants you to read the bible only, and stay off the evil Internet from now on. Praise the Lamb of God!

Are you referring to avatar/picture image by your yahoo name, etc.? And is this a question referring to christians with a message having odd pictures by their profile image? Not everyone is "christian" and puts various images by their name. I have some vampire images but that does not make me "evil".

First of all, I went up to room 316 and there was no john there??
secondly, I think you are hallucinating and need to stop consulting your (grand daughter??) for help online! GOD is not placing his "message" on yahoo questions.
thirdly, Your god has told you to mind your own business and sell your computer on EBay. Its true! I read it on Boing Boing! It was next to an image of David Hasselhoff. hows that for demonic!?

you have very prepared remark, and that i choose all have that too, yet regrettably, maximum folk do no longer look to have it. I grew up with Buddhist and Catholic impacts, and so i've got considered such multiple of the proper comparable rituals from the the two aspects. case in point, use of circulate, rosaries in prayers, monasteries, Celibate clergymen and clergymen and nuns, repeating prayers many times, donning ropes and hats and the record is going on and on, even the doctrines like heaven and hell fire and trinity and and so on. the reason being the two religions are controlled via the comparable individual and the different religions too inclusive of witchcraft controlled via the comparable one. And he's devil the devil. there is basically one authentic faith in this international and that they don't have those kinds of rituals. in case you get to be attentive to them you will see they're distinctive. and that they do get persecuted via all different religions at this modern-day time, even with the undeniable fact that it heavily isn't too long in the past God destroys all fake religions. in case you do care to make certain the authentic faith the superb ingredient to do is ask God your self for the path and be waiting to persist with and anticipate his course. If God sees your truthfulness on your heart, he will direct you to the authentic faith. And once you meet them you will see they have the reality if your heart is yearning for the reality. and you will see they do have the genuine love in them.

How can an avatar be modest and godly? Get off of your pedestal.
