These two religions, Satanists and Christians, seem to be the two least likely religions to get along as a whole. My question is; Why?
Many Christians nowadays are hypocritical, but not all are. I happen to be among them. I have a Satanist for a brother-in-law and so long as we aren't talking politics we get along fine. We've discussed religion and have accepted the facts; he has his beliefs, I have mine, they aren't changing.
There are Christians that have a problem with Satanists and if you read their bible you'll know why. The reason for some of them thinking Satanists are Devil-Worshipers is that their devil is referred to as Satan at least once and if you read about the devil you'll see you'd be a fool to worship him. There are, however, Christians that realize the Satan worshiped by Satanists is not the same Satan as is in the Christian bible.
The reason I'm asking why Christians and Satanists can't get along is because I see Satanists who attack Christians without giving them a chance to show whether or not they are ignorant of what Satanism is. I know not all Satanists are like that, my brother-in-law gave me a chance and was even willing to teach me what I didn't know, but is there something in the Satanist's bible saying Christians are bad? Are these Satanists that I mentioned simply ignorant of what Christianity is? Or are they simply foolish enough to judge the entirety of a religion based on the actions of hypocritical individuals?
I'm in no way trying to insult either religion, although I am aware this may result in an argument/debate. I just want to know the Satanist's point of view for why the two religions can't get along.
You must understand that Satanists have no business with Christian God, they don't like him just like rest of the pagans. Christian God was reflection of terror and mind control. Figure out why. They think that Christian followers are what they say "sheep's". Foolish Satanists are one who follow devil from the bible, cause he is pure evil. But Satan who is followed by spiritual Satanists known as Enki or Satanael is different figure and he have no relationship with Devil from the bible.
Christianity is just corporation who steal money and want domination in whole world and people are not aware of that. I respect Christians who follow their Creator with all their heart cause they are not part of joke known as "Christianity". That's why Satanists hate Christianity. One more reason is ruined name of their God. Cause they used Enki for evil figure in bible known as Lucifer.
Both religions: Satanism and Christianity have point but not all people inside of those religions. Those who see their "God" as pure universal creator have point. But others who just look at differences are guilty for today's crashed spirituality.
God and energy is within us all, you must see Him with your eyes not with eyes of others who are bearers of sin.
From what you say, Angelus, it would be a matter of opinion.
The 'Christianity' you described consists of the 'Christians' I call hypocrites. REAL Christians are not sheep and, although some may donate to the church, they are not controlled by humans or manipulated in any way.
Thanks for posting and I think that's some good insight.
Anyone else have anything to add?
I was unaware the the "rest of pagans" didn't like the Christian God. I didn't get that memo.
I think it's a simple case of ignorance on both sides. Not everyone from either side feel this way, but many from both sides are unwilling to step outside their box...more than likely making judgements based on a few bad experiences they have encountered.
Personally, I see little difference in the religions other than words used and the manner gone about worship.
Satanists and Christians? Christians is defined by the believe of Christ. Satanist defined by the belief or worshiper of Satan ; Satan being a symbol or entity. A believe base of a religion. Since, there are different types of Christians and Satanists. In the Christian side, there is Catholics, Mormons, Evangelics. blah, blah.. I really do not know the ones from the satanic ones. There is the atheist and the theistic satanists.The point that I am trying to say as religion goes that ones that get along the least is the CATHOLIC church and the JEWISH. (I was so off from my point, in the beginning of my paragraph.) Religions are like politics. They have similar goals, by they oppose each other because they want to be first. It is all about power, not about being right. Every Satanist or Christian that follows the religion as it should, will not judge nor jump to conclusion about a person because of their believes. Most individuals do not browse other religions because they do not want conflict within themselves. They do not want to question their own beliefs, and putting doubts in their heart, since they were conditioned to think it was sign of weakness. Most satanist who looked down to a Christian is either because they were once Christians or other Christians looked down to their beliefs. It can be other reasons, but those are the most common ones. This individuals are for the most part fools, but then one has to think that the brains prepares to certain situations because of past experiences. Most people regardless of their beliefs will attack another individual just because they disagree. This happens in the most sophisticated to the lowest situations. Furthermore, one can see this actions within the same church. I know a person, who goes to any church that gets invited. This person gets attack even among her people; not that she cares. The attacks are from closed minded people who says that is playing with God. Pointless to say, this people are fanatic or pious. A religion might be enough to create fire, but the past experiences are the wood that keeps on burning. This is just a thought.
Well you know what Christians were doing with pagans. Burning on the stick, inquisition, don't forget the Norway or Aztecs.
And Satanists are the one whose goal is to see things outside of the box that's why they don't follow Christianity.
