Isn't that pretty much a given? Have you ever heard of a non-Christian going bat**** crazy and calling someone/something demonic and 'corrupting our youth' for no good reason?

Moral Crusaders are nothing new, but for some reason they always seem to gravitate to Christianity and then take it too far....

Note: I am Catholic myself, but even I think some people are just crazy with what they say.

Unfortunately your mother is just ignorant, she is somewhat correct about One Winged Angel however, the Japanese culture to this day demonises Christianity, to the point where the Christian god is more likely to be an enemy than an ally in their literature & games.

The point is it's simply a wonderful orchestral piece of music writen in the language of Christianity; Latin.

There are a few ways you can get back at her about this if you feel malicious you can point out that if her spirit is so weak to be tainted by orchestral music she would better service herself by spending the time she wasted, berating you, in church. Seeing as what she's experiencing is the same as homophobia caused by being insecure with your own sexuality.

Or simply listen to Devil May Cry's soundtrack, I reccomend this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLBAFJWbd30 as it's about killing demons, a very Christian act, going on a holy crusade.

The correct way to go about it would be try to talk to her about it. Your musical taste isn't going to turn you into a pillar of evil, she's lumping everything into two categories, good and evil and she's generalising things she knows nothing about. Ask her to do actual research about aspects of your life (not hers) before attempting to intervene rather than just making knee jerk decisions, if she actually takes that statement to heart she'll almost certainly never bother you again...at least until you get onto the topic of sex.

No no no, you have them mixed up with hippies. Christians will say that it "hurts their soul" trust me on this; I've lived in a christian household my whole life. I heard that phrase all too much when it was explained to me as a child why I couldn't watch certain cartoons, movies, or video games.

Super true!
Your mom is crazy I fear... Music is an extension of the human soul, and therefore cannot be demonic. And if someone thinks demons are real, they should live in a mental ward. No offense intended.

Has she not listened to any popular radio station within the last decade? This is NOTHING. Even the Latin chanting is all but meaningless in this song.

Better still.. record yourself singing it and then play it backwards.

If his/her mum is so sensitive and childish that they can't listen to a snippet of music without labeling it as "demonic", then that's not OP's problem.

Don't let your parents push you around when it comes to stuff like this, listen to the music you enjoy, not the music they want you to listen to.
If someone still lives with their parents, they have to obey their rules. If they don't like it (for whatever the reason), then they should move out.

do you have the same problems

sorry for bad grammar
Well no, 'cause I'm evil.

The funny part is that you should congratulate her for her instincts. She clearly understood - without knowing ANYTHING about Final Fantasy 7 - that this was the theme of the baddest ************ on the planet, the man who wanted to DESTROY said planet.

I will admit there are parts where it sounds like an evil clown is about to butt fuck you with a butchers knife but your mom needs to lighten up.

Tell her that sometimes after listening to it you hear whispering voices telling you to kill yourself.

Report results.

I don't agree with the idea that your parent is your master.They have the right to make sure you behave responsibly, but they can't tell you what music you can or can't like/ listen to, they don't have the right to try and control who you are.

Guidance, yes. Total control, no. Just because they are parents, they don't get to control you completely, that train of thought could lead to parents using their children as slaves.

One person I know had parents like that. She had holy water thrown in her face and then for laughs, she dropped to the floor and screamed, "IT BURNS!"

Or do this (and instead play the song in question):
