I don't see anything wrong with a purly acadmic study of the Reaper image. I am a Catholic, as my profile says, and the Church is filled with people studying demons. Whole areas of theology are devoted to the questions of the nature of hell as well as, forgive my spelling I am pressed for time, exorcism, the removal of demons. To be able to combat something there must be some understanding thereof, so I would say no, the would be nothing wrong with studying a demon.
However, the study could become something more than just the study. To worship or invoke a demon would be wrong, however, assuming that you ever do become a Christian I doubt that is something you would be doing.

Hmnnnn,
There is no reason to study the insignificant once you have decided to follow the significant.

Hey Soultype! Just about every single religion forces you to think about death (the symbolic Reaper). You shouldn't feel as if you have to give up your fascination with the Reaper if you are thinking of converting to a religion. There's nothing wrong with being interested in something.

In perspective of the God of Christianity, he doesn't exist. He is mythical and not "real". Ergo, when one chooses a belief, others will pale in comparison.

Since death for all of us is inevitable I don't think there is anything wrong with studying it or Reaper...If you find out anything interesting will you share it with us?SoulTYPE01 said:

But, I would no longer to be able to believe in the reaper if I was to follow God.Death is inevitable, yes, so therefore it would be logical to believe in that. But the reaper is not as believable.
Something about a robed Skeleton carrying a sickle IS hard for some to believe.

True but do you know where the first symbol of the reaper came about? I don't; but the first time I remember seeing it in my life was on 'A Christmas Carol"SoulTYPE01 said:
