If you believe in Satan, you must believe in God.
If you believe in God, you must believe in the Bible.
If you believe in the Bible, you've gotta know that God wins.

Sooo... What am I missing here?

I dont think satanist believe in satan, i think they just took on the name to piss off their parents. atleast thats what i heard somewhere
Fixed.

most likely, some kids get fed up with the shoving of nonsense fairy tales down their throat. unfortunately it seems most kids who are brought up that way end up like their parents.

Most likely, most kids are complete dumbfvcks who just want to rebel against their parents and do anything they can to piss them off. Parents are devout Christians so the kids turn into Satan worshippers to get under their skin, it's that simple. 99% of the kids (teens) out there simply believe what they are fed and never spend more than 5 minutes thinking about what it is they believe.

I dunno, I'm only 20 but I hate teenagers. I did it too though, so oh well.. 😀

I stand solidly by my 'bigoted' response.:cookie:++
 
1st off there are a lot of Christians who DON'T believe in the Devil let alone Satan. Satan is one of the many untranslated words in the bible. Satan is not a proper noun, it is more of an adjective, it means to accuse or the accuser. If Satan was an actual person why would Jesus called his own disciple Satan (and it wasn't Judas)?

Satanist just believe in themselves first unlike many Christians who believe in suffering and penance.

Ok, then, what's the difference between a Satanist and a Satan Worshipper? There truly ARE people who worship Satan as described in the Bible...

The largest group/most well publicized that I'm aware of is the Church of Satan, which is Laveyan Satanism. I haven't really heard of any large, organized groups that actually worship the christian Satan, mostly just fringe lunatics, wackos, and cultists.
 
The couple of Satanists I've had conversations with said they focus on what someone else mentioned they focus on: Self-centeredness.

Research satanism and report back to your thread please.

Why when I have the collected knowledge of the world at my fingertips here in ATOT?

😉

Actually, this thought struck me out of the blue. Research will commence when I have time. I'm just curious what folks here think...
