Just like a "lover" takes delight in the darkness of having one enslaved to him/herself, a "musician" will feel the same towards a multitude. Why would that be hard to believe and comprehend? That is logical: they cannot behave differently since, in the first place, they are "lovers" too. And if you analyze the philosophical pattern behind those biblical verses, you'll see that many are a lot like the pharisees.
Forget about "religion"; few will use it to create a "something else" feeling for themselves in others. It's only needed when the public you're trying to control is engaged in it and susceptible to its deception. Most times, they'll rely on the fact that the sin of idolatry doesn't require one to simulate righteousness, to disguise him/herself as an angel of light. They can be openly wicked and still get the same "glory" all want.
Leave your cult, because you can still be awesome in the sight of fools saying things like, "She eat your heart out like Jeffrey Dahmer".
