Satanism

Why do people freak out about someone who is a satanist especially before they get the facts about the religion after I read the bible it is not a bad religion at all it basically says do whats natural and right for you whats so bad about that...honestly

well whatever answers you seek arnt in the bible!
because according to the bible, almost everything is a sin
theres nothing wrong with satanism
people have the right to beleive in whats considered the "good side"
just as much as people have the right to beleive in whats considered the "bad side"
but theres really no difference between the two
most people however think that satan+evil, everything "bad"
and god = everything "good"
but either way you look at it, there both a religion
and theres hardly any real difference between the two
you have a right to beleive in whatever you want, as does everyone
just stay true to yourself and accept the consequences
because there'll be consequesnces for everything

It's in the name.
If you were part of an animal rescue group whose name was "Let's all kill little kittens", you would likewise never get a chance to explain that you rescue kittens, not hurt them. So if you demand an in-your-face name, know what to expect.
Good Luck!!
p.s. wow, are you asking for a spirited thread.

lol have you ever heard the expression "whats in a name"? well they way I see it, the reply is "all you need to know". like bimjob says, its in the name

well my first taught of the religion was that it supported satan and all the evils of the world
but if thats wronf then I know nothing about the religion and im being really ignorant !!!
but I usually just stay away from the questions related to religion because they cause so much 'contriversy'

The Rich Man and Lazarus
19'There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. 20At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22'The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23In hell,[a] where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.'

25'But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.'

27'He answered, 'Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father's house, 28for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.'

29'Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.'

30' 'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.'

31'He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.' '

God sent his son to die for you- so that anytime you make a mistake- everytime satan pressures you to do something that you don't want to do but you give into anyway we could have a second chance. I'll pray for you and your salvation- GOD is sooo good he is the creator of the universe call GOD!!! I could never imagine my life without him- Pray please god is there for you no matter what you do. this isnt the right path for you this isnt the right path for anybody- the only path is GODS path. Its not about religious structure its not about the things you say or even how many people that you help its not evena bout having a certain religion its about your relationship with GOD. He is only there to help you- he loves you and I could never imagine living life wihtout himm- becuase everything that the world puts at me all the hard things I go through GOD takes them. he asked us to give and place all of our burdens onto him. Bless you and rebuke this demond that is telling you lies. this isnt the way. If we follow god we will have the greatest reward in the end eternal life!

Jesus the Way to the Father
5.Thomas said to him, 'Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?'
6.Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
7.If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.'
8.Philip said, 'Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.'
9.Jesus answered: 'Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?
10.Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.
11.Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves.
12.I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
13.And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father.
14.You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.

john 14:4-14

3.And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, 'Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.
4.He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.'
5.He who was seated on the throne said, 'I am making everything new!' Then he said, 'Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.'
6.He said to me: 'It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life.
7.He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son.
8.But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars--their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.'

Revelation 21:3-8

You need to examine it more closely - The Bible says that Satan is a “destroyer.” “Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer” (1 Cor. 10:10).

“A dreadful sound [is] in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him” (Job 15:21).

“Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept [me from] the paths of the destroyer” (Psa. 17:4).

Peter said, under Divine inspiration:

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Pet. 5:8).

To be sober-minded is to be in Christ, faithfully doing what God desires in our lives. Being vigilant is guarding against the wiles of the Devil. This is done through Holy Spirit discernment that comes with seeking God’s will in all things - you'll be in my thoughts and prayers - Excellent video: http://www.jesus2020.com/video.html

hmmm, could it be, oh I don't know, SATAN! ---vague reference to SNL's church lady

Satan is the bogey man for Christians, so of course they live in fear of him.

The Satanic bible is not something that I would read.
And, for those who are Satanests, they have their beliefs but, I try to stay away from those since they're not good. You are dealing with the devil. The lord tells us to put off the natural man and so forth.
So, to be honest with you, I don't think that Satanism is something that I would be interested to go deep in since I've been there done that and I got myself in trouble since I'm not a Satanist.

because they're idoits
Howevr I do have the facts, researched for years, & am not found of the "religion" mself. Honestly I dislike the religion(note: I said religion, meaning the religion in it's self, I'm all ears to the people)
Do you know the rules, the opening ritual, & basically how it was formed?
It's a rebelion against christains & in my opinion mockery of the occult. They practice magck in the christain views, go against one of the laws rules of magick & does not explain a vital law of what happnes when you cast spells & such(or basically everything you do), & they can't even call the holiday's they celebrate by their proper name, rather the Christain name for them Halloween & Walpurgisnacht, It's Samhain & Beltane. It's practice of a long term selfishness &(in my opinion) obliviousness. The inverted pentagram means material matter over the spirit. It's not a healthy religion to get into, lets just leave it at that.

what the f*ck???
Why are people always quoteing the d@mn bible
it was written by MAN
not their so called god
even if it was supposedly the word of god I can garentee you it's not anymore
Idiots will judge magick precitioners by the bible & don't even know wth it's about & wonder why we get so defensive, morons.

'kcblayer' ...you DO realize that NO ONE is reading your long-winded cut & paste posts, right? Therefor, you're wasting webspace. The idea behind posting is to say what YOU think, not to see how much of the bible you can cram into one post.

Try picking one or two of your favorite verses instead. Otherwise, you're not really contributing to the discussion.

Funny, but most people tend to fear what they do not know.
They say satan is evil but to me god is, religion creates havok and death , yet we need to believe in something.

I myself am a satanist and in anton lavey's satanic bible from what I have gathered and read so far satanism is the art of being yourself, indivdual and not conforming to societys standards or rules. But I have only read a little so far,marylin manson as well as others are satanists. I find nothing wrong in believing in 'a religion' as long as you do not impose it on others...(hint to the jehovas witnesses- find something better to do with your time than convert my neighborhood with your bs!)

yes, christians go against what is of this world. people call us freaks. and if im a freak im proud of it. whose freak are you? satan's? The Holy Bible tells us that satan was an angel and he disobeyed God so he was cast out of the Heavens. im not going to bash you about what you believe but im just going to tell you what I think. if you have any questions fun mail me.

u know satan actually had a right in the bible... and he was cast down (according to the man made 'holy' thingie) so doesnt that in turn make god a biased 'being'?
its strange that christianity didnt exist before 2008 years ago... does that mean your 'god' is still a little kid? and whats with adam and eve? we already know humans came from apes (or close relatives at east) and we also know dinosaurs existed before we did...that would mean the man who ever wrote the bible didnt know they existed before hadnt...makes sense...

oh and just so you know most satanist dont even know what they believe in...its mostly the wrong thing really...

god rocks

im not religious, I havent read the bible but I do know about demons there horrid beings from another realm they intend nothing but harm if satanists can summon them then we should be scared

Toadaly , I dont live in fear of satan at all being a Christian . Satan is bad and I just dont have to live in fear of him being by God and staying in God's word helps me to be stronger. I am still praying for you .
