Satanists are NOT evil people.

[Seculartopia]

The idea of Satan IS that of pure evil, so to worship Satan is worshipping the essence of evil itself! Why would you do THAT?

Not necissarily to all, if they do worship him, what guarantee do you have he will be evil to them?

[Buffett and Colbert]

Satanists don't worship Satan anyhow, so the OP = fail.

Some I suppose you could call denominations do, but the majority don't and so yes, this thread does = fail.

[Rhodmhire]

Yup, Big Jim P is indeed our resident satanist.

Yeah, Big Jim will definately show up, and it'll make this thread 1,000x as fun.

And on the note of resident things, nobody else happens to be a resident Freddie Mercury extreme superfan right?

Because I call that...

I pray that question won't throw this thread in a completely different direction...

The thread only implies that Satanists are not evil. Some dont worship satan, and their are many that are good and moral.

Nah. Queen was awesome, and I love listening to them, Freddie Mercury had a great voice, but I just like Metal far more.

Heh, I don't think you have to worry about anyone taking that title from you...

Come on, red skin? Horns? Pointed tail? Glowing eyes? Carries a pitchfork? Yeah, he looks like he'll be going around giving candy to children and playing with fluffy kittens.

And you are suddenly the world's authority on what figures of the Bible actually look like (assuming they exist)?

Nonsense. Of course I didn't believe the images in the Bible because, the author hated that guy, he was clearly biased against him. So I headed across the river to Hell, where I asked around in various houses of sin and debauchery until one of them could tell me where to find Satan. It was in a club deep underground, far below street level and lit up in red with a sort of flame motif. Satan was there playing rock'n'roll on the violin, which struck me as rather odd but he's the fallen angel around there, it's really his choice. Around him various other club workers dressed up in various demon costumes were serving drugs to abortion doctors who were sitting there with their gay lovers while chowing down on roasted baby, and various people were tied up upside down being tortured in the background for committing some kind of sin, or something -- I didn't stick around. The big guy himself caught sight of me and told me he'd make me a deal for my soul, but I'd seen enough and was like "Fuck that shit" and got the fuck out of there before he could send a hellhound or three after me. He did anyway, but I remembered the cardinal rule of dealing with hellhounds (don't turn around, otherwise you'll die) and made it home safely. Now I always keep a horseshoe on my door to keep him away... or was that the fairies? Either way, Satan's never come back to bother me, so I figure it works.

No it's not. Satanists don't worship the devil.

Who do they worship, then? Seriously, I've heard this before. Is not "Satan" the Biblical adversary of "God"? That would make him "the Devil," right? I like getting my facts straight.

What do you think I just said? If you bother reading the posts in your own thread, you would have found out I was actually defending Satanism.

[Rhodmhire]

s long as you don't try and convert me to Satanism, and I don't try to convert you to Christianity, we could be aqatiances, maybe even friends. It's your life, same as it's my life. Your opinion of an afterlife is with Satan, mine is with God. as long as you don't try and force me tio believe your way, I'm fine with you being Satanist.

I don't believe in anything but passive conversion. That's one of the many reasons why I hate Islamic and Christian extremists.

You're a Christian who hates Christian extremists...

New best friend ever.

It's true, people need to be content with other's beliefs, and kindly and humbly offer and/or share theirs with the world. If they succeed, great, if they don't, move on and be as humble and content with it as you can.

It's nice to see I'm not the only Christian with that mindset on these forums.

[UnhealthyTruthseeker]

I was on Youtube, and there was this guy in the comments section of a video that was a crazy-ass fundy, and he said that he studies witchcraft in order to protect himself from Satan. When I explained to him that he had nothing to fear because magic isn't real, he responded that 99% of all rapes, kidnappings, and murders are committed by people that worship Satan. He wouldn't cite any sources for that claim. I know that stupid is rampant on the Internets, and in real life, but I have to say I've never seen more concentrated stupid than on Youtube.

If you are Satanist, chances are you are likely an atheist too.

And the embodiment of evil?

I know you were. I was agreeing with you.

[Saint Clair Island]

So you are actually claiming to know better than them what they themselves believe?

Yeah, of course I am. I have the right to, y'know? 'Cause I'm so much moral than anyone who worships a big horned guy who lives underground and tortures people for a living. And just because I live under the George Washington Bridge doesn't give you any right to call me a troll.

Except they don't actually worship satan, this would be the point that you seem to be missing, and if it actsa like a troll I will call it a troll.

I'm not a troll. Some of my best friends would be Satanists. If I had any friends.

Perhaps we could start another thread for this? I'm a bit tired, sorry if I come off as rude

Satanism is a non-theistic religion like Buddhism? "Satan" is what, a chance combination of letters that looked nice to the founders?

He was absolutely correct. Of course, most rapists, kidnappers, and murderers lie to disguise their true religion, so that nobody will suspect them of being satanists. That's what throws off all the statistics you see.

I saw it on the internet, so it must be true.

I believe the pear that says "LOL WUT?" would be an adquate description of my thoughts on this post.

[YamataNoOrochi]

Satanists think that they are evil - that's the point. Although it is foolish and inaccurate to use them as a scapegoat, they are just poserand attention seekers who think they are 'cool' and 'hardcore' by worhipping satan. Regardless of what you think of the bible or how anti church or anti christian or anti church you are, God is clearly supposed to be a moral and good god. Satanists are missing the point.

[Rhodmhire]

How can you say he's a bad guy? Where do you have the saying that he is 100% evil from a non-biased source?

How can you say Satan is a "he?" Where do you have the saying that Satan is a he from a non-biased source?

See I always thought that God and Satan weren't, you know, Earthly organisms who were classified into male vs. female. I understand the "He" term for God, probably referring to the "Father" thing, and using the "He" as a pronoun is understandable, as well as with Satan I suppose.

But maybe it's best to just use Satan and God instead of He and he, since you know, they're probably not both males. If anything, I doubt either has any Earthly "gender."

Just throwing that out there.

You've been being sarcastic all this time, havn't you? I feel like an idiot now...
