Satanism bugs me! I never had a problem with any religion but this, is that even a religion

I have seen people who like to make money in the name of god, but satanists are unique. They make money from satan. All they do is selling the 666 shirts, caps and props to the people! I know they have a few political stances too but they dont seem to benefit anyone! what are your thoughts on satanism?

Satanists kind of amuse me. They're just trying to be edgy.

Or trying to make a point 😅
@Kwek00 so state yours.

@Kwek00
You can’t state your ideas?
Are you promoting Satanism?

@Aliveshock Have you read the article that I posted?

It's about a group of people in the US (happened a few years ago). That objected to the idea that there should be a monument of the 10 commandments placed somewhere in the town. A group of aggitators that wanted to make a point, pushed to have a monument of baphomet placed in the square.

That's what I was pointing at, when I said they were trying to make a point.
In another post, I also said some satanists are just trolling.

If you want to know my opinion... I think it's better to evolve to a society without religions and I'm absolutely not a fan of people believing in illusions that we know are objectively false.
@Kwek00
I read it.
I suspected you were on the side of the satanists..

@Aliveshock
Not really no... For me they are equally silly. I actually don't like this kind of tactics, I don't think they advance the position of the agnostics/atheists that are trying to make a point. Just like I don't think that the flying spaghettie monster (how funny it may be) advances the position as a whole.

I studied Existentialism primary from the French POV but I also studied Nietzsche and Kafka. I prefer the finger of God that writes the Ten Commandments.

The Word is alive.

@Aliveshock You think? In what way? [i](this is all pretty cryptic)[/i]
@Kwek00
Luke 10:21
At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.

@Aliveshock More cryptics?
@Kwek00
That is curious how something so simple can come across cryptic if it isn’t revealed.

You said:

I asked: "why?"

And the answers I get are:

- The word is alive
- A bible verse (Luke 10:21)

... I'm not sure, but that is not a "simple" answer in my book. It's also not really an explanation to the question? But maybe for you it's extremely obvious. But I can tell you that I don't understand it.
@Kwek00 i shares some simple scripture. It stated that learning is not the basis for understanding the things of the spirit. It explains why men like hawking were always perplexed by anything that he couldn’t take and make fiction of.
