Define what you mean by church?
🤔 metal music is basically therapy for men. I used to not like it. Now I get it... I think.
But there's a lot more to it. Notice how a general theme is to take aim at "the church"? I think its valid. Two reasons : the church teaches a whole lot of garbage, and churches have generally positioned themselves as therapy for women while implicitly telling men that they are bad. And as a man, I can tell you, that's a huge mistake. If the church doesn't turn that around **_quick_** it will soon cease to exist.
Check this music video out - couldn't get clearer messaging, and it doesn't waste time using the obvious "satanic" symbolism that gets attention via controversy. Just pure signal, while being a pretty good song too.

Not what Jesus meant. The human organization, mostly, but I think any "holier than thou" attitude or shows of piety is in that. The false church. Church of the ego.
Such organizations should not exist anyways, they are deceiving.
Yes. Part of my dislike for the church is that I was deceived by it. I had a spiritual experience and thought that meant the church was right all along. Yeahhhhh... They hate your spiritual experiences. But the positive side is, their falseness is laid bare. That's one false path I can cross off.
