From the sound of it, you know nothing of black metal, it's intentions, or history.
If anything, wouldn't burning a stave church to the ground make black metal dead serious about it's aims and give life to it's purpose? I'm guessing you've never met anybody who's burned a church or claims to be a viking... so why write a screed against them?
If you are listening to black metal for escapism or entertainment purposes, you're missing the point. Go back to your copy of EVOL and rub one out to "Tom Violence" next time you're about to spout off on a topic on which you're incredibly misinformed.
Everyone will benefit.
