Why do people love God. Also this post will turn into a religious argument.

I have no idea. Satan hates even his own.

@canusernamebemyusername I think I found a biblical rule about women having to sacrifice a small animal after their monthly.
@SatanBurger Yeah there is a lot of stuff in Exodus and Leviticus about all the cleaning rituals. Moses definitely had severe and psychotic ocd.
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
@canusernamebemyusername And I guess there was no such thing as therapy out there during that time period lol. Or maybe.. I don't know it's interesting to wonder but Moses def. needed it.

Satan is a beautiful symbol that stands against totalitarianism generally. In a historical context, Satan was used as a propaganda tool to advocate for genocide or slavery. The Gnostic believed the serpent was releasing Eve from ignorance.

There's also the interesting problem with Christianity itself. Satan has gone through many evolution's to get to the "mighty evil doer" that we know of today. Christians may not know this or even tell you but Christianity is NOT a single religion but rather a series of [b]varied different[/b] religions. Way later on, the orthodoxy of the later church was created out of the mix of several early religions and because of its influence and power, orthodoxy ultimately won out.

[quote]Jesus, son of the Hebrew sky God, and Mithras, son of Ormuzd are both the same myth. The rituals of Christianity coincide with the earlier rituals of Mithraism, including the Eucharist and the Communion in great detail. The language used by Mithraism was the language used by Christians. [...] The idea of a sacrificed saviour is Mithraist, so is the symbolism of bulls, rams, sheep, the blood of a transformed saviour washing away sins and granting eternal life, the 7 sacraments, the banishing of an evil host from heaven, apocalyptic end of time when God/Ormuzd sends the wicked to hell and establishes peace. Roman Emperors, Mithraist then Christian, mixed the rituals and laws of both religions into one. [c=#003BB2][b]Emperor Constantine established 25th of Dec, the birthdate of Mithras, to be the birthdate of Jesus too[/b][/c]. The principal day of worship of the Jews, [c=#7700B2][b]The Sabbath, was replaced by the Mithraistic Sun Day as the Christian holy day.[/b][/c] The Catholic Church, based in Rome and founded on top of the most venerated Mithraist temple, [c=#800000][b]wiped out all competing son-of-god religions within the Roman Empire, giving us modern literalist Christianity.”[/b][/c]

"Mithraism and Early Christianity" by Vexen Crabtree (2017)[/quote]

[quote]During the first three Christian centuries, the practices and beliefs found among people who called themselves Christian were so varied that that the differences between Roman Catholics, Primitive Baptists, and Seventh-Day Adventists pale by comparison. Most of these ancient forms of Christianity are unknown to people in the world today. In the second and third centuries there were, of course, Christians who believed in one God. But there were others who insisted that there were two. Some said there were thirty. Others claimed there were 365.”

@puck61 “It is from the Bible that man has learned cruelty, rapine, and murder; for the belief of a cruel God makes a cruel man.”
― Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason

"The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. Once God (or Satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance...logic can be happily tossed out the window."
— Stephen King (The Stand)
@SatanBurger Enjoy.
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
@puck61 Thanks I will! Me and Satan will be frolicking in the fields, listening to the sound of music 🤗
the prefer their love unrequited.

Because he was the first to say no. He didn't take shit from anyone.
Budwick · 70-79, M
I don't think anyone loves Satan.
I do think that some believe that they can outsmart / out maneuver Satan for personal gain.
Carazaa · F
The whole world loves Satan and are not aware of it, in my humble opinion.@Budwick

Have you read Paradise Lost, he's easy to get behind. http://triggs.djvu.org/djvu-editions.com/MILTON/LOST/Download.pdf
InvictusIndigo · 22-25, M
@Benarro Well fuck, that's a complex argument. But then what about all the things the bible says, and why are so many "satanic" things made to look so scary with horned people and odd symbols?
Benarro · 31-35, M
@InvictusIndigo I think it's because there's a huge mix of traditions here. Old paganism, new paganism, actual satanism (very new concept), new age, it all looks so incoherent because none of it is a unified philosophy.
@InvictusIndigo Also the stuff has literally just been domonized. He is suppose to the most beautiful angel but I know of no one that has portrayed him that way. What people hate and fear they twist and caricature. Look at how Neanderthals, or foreigners have been viewed as some lower life in the past. Remember only one side of the story has been told. And history is written by the Victor.
xSharp · 31-35, M
cuz he give us money for cocaine i guess
Carazaa · F
Jesus paid for all my sins. What about you? Who will pay for your sins? God says in the Bible that there is a punishment for each sin because God is a just God. Who else but God himself could die for the worlds sins? He didn't have to do that, especially when we hated him.
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
@Carazaa I think it's unfair to ask someone to pay for my sins. Sins would be like mistakes and I myself should own up to them. Plus that whole story is a fraud anyways, taken from Mithras.
Carazaa · F
It makes no sense that God did that for the world, but he did, because he loves us. It's Grace. You can think its a fraud but it is true. I am totally changed after I asked God for forgiveness for my sins.
GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M
He woos them with His empty promises.
Carazaa · F
You scared him half to death for that picture I am sure!
MasterLee · 56-60, M
He was hungry
Carazaa · F
ha,ha...
MasterLee · 56-60, M
He brings presents
InvictusIndigo · 22-25, M
@MasterLee Ooooh what kindz??
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@InvictusIndigo all kinds. Around the winter solstice.
Carazaa · F
People love Satan because "He comes as an angel of light" He is a deceiver who will kill and destroy. But people think He will help them and they don't even know he exists and that he is brainwashing the whole world. You have to know your enemy to fight Him and people don't know they are deceived by him. That is why I am on SW to witness about God. Christians have to witness so people are warned. Thank you for posting a great question! Love ya!

Because God has failed them
Carazaa · F
God does not fail people. People fail God!@blasphemy666
blasphemy666 · 26-30, F
@Carazaa you think? Read my username..

Life doesn't have to be suffering for long! Jesus promises that he will bless us and answer all our prayers if we put Jesus first in our life. Jesus says "Ask me anything in my name and I will do it" John 14:14 But I don't think he hears those who haven't repented and trusted in Him. He wants us humble. He will get you humble. Don't be too proud or mad at God, repent for all your sins and believe that Jesus died for all your sins and will help you, and he will. He only gives us what we deserve and what is good for us. It's wonderful to have hard times because then you become strong and loving and can help the world. This world needs lots of love.
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
Well, Milton did a good job with his character development
InvictusIndigo · 22-25, M
To be rebellious, cuz it's the opposite of God, cuz they don't understand who Satan really is, etc. Like bro you worshipping the devil! What is you doin, baby?
MasterLee · 56-60, M
InvictusIndigo · 22-25, M
@MasterLee NaBrO how
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@InvictusIndigo sodium bromine oxygen?
The Lord of Night is a mighty being
The same reason they disfigure themselves and make themselves look hideous. There's more to it. Some labor under the delusion that Satan is the 'party god' who wants you to have as much fun as you can. People are strange.
