I'm Christian, and I like Celtic music, which is often pagan, lyric-wise. I justify it by liking the music.
For example, the song "Lord of the Dance". As I understand it, the song is literally about the Pagan god of dancing. I don't believe in a dance god. I worship no god other than that of Christianity. Since I don't follow the beliefs portrayed in the lyrics, it's not un-Christian for me to listen to it for the entertainment value of upbeat music.
If you translate "O Fortuna", it's basically just medieval emo poetry in Latin. The music is still epic, but the lyrics suck.
Is it normal for a christian to like paegan music so much?
