To a certain degree it is like Paul's discussion
of eating meat sacrificed to pagan gods.

If there is a reasonable probability that it could
cause you or someone else to stumble then do not.

While we never want to associate with Satanic
anything we can put such a fine point on such
avoidance as to become frozen in place.

The Prince of this world is Satan and most everything
has his ugly fingerprints all over it.
