The Lutheran Church is not part of this. Any good Lutheran Pastor will call out any member who joins a Masonic Lodge (of course, there are some who are too weak to oppose members) but the real Pastors will stop it. Here is a link to the Lutheran Church's stance on the subject. http://www.lilnet.org/Lord_Baal.html
Also, there are plenty of artists who, in ignorance, copy popular styles without any knowledge of secret messages and symbolism hidden in the image. We have to be careful not to throw the baby out with the bath water here. Until we have all the facts and proof of something then we follow God's Grace and try to see things in a favorable light. If things really are evil then those knowingly following evil will answer to God. My Christ be with us and carry us through this valley of darkness.
