A Satanists Reality

I personally dont like Bible pushing(and Im a Christian) because Im not going to try to push my beliefs on to somebody who obviously has another set of beliefs that they have grown to accept because I would not want to be done to me. Also alot of the bible pusher are pretty ignorant of things around them and possibly dont know that much about their own religion.

 

Exactly what I was going to ask. If you call yourself a Satanist, that's implying that you're a follower/believer (-ist) of Satan.

Same here. I mean, I know I'm supposed to spread the word of God and all, but I try my best to avoid imposing on others. The most extreme Christians, in my opinion, aren't followers of God, but followers of a book that HE didn't write Himself.

 

I have no idea, but it think he said earlier in this thread the term was used to "keep those without an open mind out"

 

This sounds to me like either LaVeyan or Symbolic Satanism with a hint of Absurdism (a la Cletus Kassidy) but since I know virtually nothing on any of those, I may be wrong or there may even be an actual term for that.

Other way around, actually. From a direct Christian standpoint, I can see why one may consider Satanist worse (deliberatly betraying God) but from a logical standpoint, I was raised to believe Satan himself was the worst.

Just wanted to point out the irony that you almost became what you hate.

I think Xakota said that because you have posted your beliefs before, and, iirc, in comparison to other religion, which, again, would be ironic.

I don't see the effectiveness in that if you're going to tell people that it's not really what it means.
It'd be like the Illumnati having a press conference.

 

People that can't accept others religion choises piss me off. So your a satanist big deal, your happy with your choise so more power to ya.

 

exactly you guessed LaVeyan satanism which is correct but then again that is one of the only non-christ related church-based religions. i didnt make the religion so really the late Anton LaVey or one of the priests could give that reason other than another correct term would be humanism. the other satanic churches(believe me i know) are just christians playing "bad boys" really. also, you know now that i think about it maybe i almost did become what i hate. but atleast when you get out of the oven,somehow you got out i suppose

yes the term satanist is used from religion because in the 60's when it was revived we first merely mocked christians but thats over now and also, the term satanism is used to keep undercover bible-beaters away from us.

 

Contradiction much? This "Satan" of sorts is more than obviously THE devil, Satan aka Lucifer. How the hell can you be a satanist and not understand the devil you're appearantly worshiping? Plus Satan is the Devil's name. >_>

Satan is worse than a satanist. That people can take for a fact. I got just a little pissed with this for a opinion :/ This is my bad.

 

I'm seconding this. This question makes my anthropology senses tingle.

 

of course, truly one of the satanic sins is to harm innocents. though swift justice for criminals is in a satanist's eyes a truly good thing. and satanists do not sacrifice humans or animals EVER! one of the 11 statements (or laws if you prefer to call them such) is to not harm a non-human animal unless for defence or for food. and to put it simply satanic culture other than saying we never do any form of herd conformity cannot be defined because we are all individuals in the end. and though our religion uses magic we rarely use group spells except for the building of self esteem because less skilled users can dilute the spell. in another thing we NEVER allow drug use because it harms the mind. though a little alcohol never killed anyone because we live by indulgence not compulsion. cigarettes are a big no and so are illegal substances. though i do not know everything because i am not a priest or a high magus i know plenty and would love to become a priest at one point, again everything i have said is either quoted from the COS website or paraphrased from a quote so anymore questions i would be glad to answer because when one gains information they lose nothing.that last sentence was an opinion of mine. HAIL SATAN!.<- (that is a normal thing said by satanists.)

 

So you were talking about worshiping A Satan of sorts. Now you're saying hail the devil?

Who the hell do you worship exactly? You're confusing me.

 

I've always said, as long as your religion doesn't harm others, than feel free to practice what you like.

 

We do not worship a being other than ourselves but we worship the inner evils of man also the word satan means opposer and lucifer means star so yeah

 

Ignoring bible-beaters (as you call them) is a biased notion. So don't say "keep it unbiased" when you, yourself, are extremely biased to the point where you would light a bible on fire.

Personally, I don't care what you believe. Satanism is just another belief system that has evolved over time. And the sad part is that people go to ridiculous lengths on a radical level to either prove a point or counter a point. I'm done with that stuff, really.

 

can i ask you to please slow down when you type because it took me a second to get that. oh and bible-beaters are people who believe anyone who isnt a christian is going to hell and are inferior to them so i ignore them because 9 out of 10 times only complete and utter bullshit sprays from their mouths

true it is kind of biased but im eliminating a lot of the crap that would swirl around if i didnt ignore them

 

not to be mean but *facepalm*. please read my other posts because i just said satanists do not worship a diety (god/devil/jesus/allah/muhammad/zeus/etc...) also we do not believe in an afterlife(heaven/hell)

 

I believe you will go to Hell when you die unless you change, but I don't believe you're inferior to me at all. My belief says that we're both on the same level.

in your opinion. Now you're just being an asshоle about it.

 

i only ignore the extreme ones anyway i have nothing against christians really i just dont believe the same thing as them.

i mean the extreme ones are the ones i am talking about i have nothing against normal christians because if they are not an ******* then im not referring to them

 

So Sataniam is the worship of yourself, because of a belief that you yourself are/ will become a powerful being? (Serious question, not trying to sound smarmy.)

I'm going to say out of the two types of religious people of Satanism and Christians, Christians in history have probably done more 'satanic' acts than Satanists themselves.
Really, I believe it is most likely one of the more misunderstood religions, up there with Muslim beliefs. I guess an education on Satanism would be a step forward in accepting people.

 

No. Satanist worship Satan, or a Satan, or themselves. Hell, I dunno, this guy is changing who he worships so much. D:

I doubt Satanists really think that.

 

To an extent, I guess yes.
The branch[right word?] of Satanism we follow:
Basically self-indulgence, as Satan is the power inside all humans.
I think that Ze is right that it's a misunderstood religion.​
