Satanism: a proper way of life? [Spirituality & Religion]

first, I don't think we can put together paganism and Satanism as they are totally different from each other and it is only a prejudism from the church which have associated paganism with Satanism. Paganism predates Christianity. also, the definition of Satanism that you are implying refers to the church of Satan of Anton Lavey which although they have chosen that name are really not Satanists since they technically do not believe in Satan and are actually atheists. The church of Satan is more a glorification of our raw, animalistic nature, a celibration of edonism and freedom. at a time which was still very controlled by chistian ideology it gave them a sense of breaking free from endoctrination to call themselves Satanists. Even the satanic bible in large part is just a philosophical statement about freedom and a new perpective of humans based on reason and science and ridiculously mixed with the enochian calls of John Dee but replacing the words god with satan and angels with demons. Satanism is the worship of Satan and must imply a belief in satan and in this way is no more scientific than any other religion. Paganism is a loose derogative term given to ancient practices and worship.

I always liked the 7 Satanic tenets better than the 10 Commandments anyway..

THERE ARE SEVEN FUNDAMENTAL TENETS.
* One should strive to act with compassion and empathy towards all creatures in accordance with reason.

* The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

* One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

* The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.

* Beliefs should conform to our best scientific understanding of the world. We should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit our beliefs.

* People are fallible. If we make a mistake, we should do our best to rectify it and remediate any harm that may have been caused.

Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

Christian is not a religion.

Christian Means "Christ" following Jesus instead of Religion.

The World is against Christ because Jesus's Kingdom is not from this world.

Holy Spirit is not from this world. The gospel is not from this world.

Heaven is where Christ is at

Druidry was recognized as an official religion in Britain in 2010, I believe. Polytheism was never meant to represent an hierarchy of Gods but like the paut neteru and sepher yezirah represented a 'flowing forth' of a universal essence and the different 'fields of activity' which it manifested. Only the understanding of those fields of activity has been lost, however, that understanding is still prevalent within the Kabbalah today.

Question is....will following Satanism, get you to heaven? It won’t.

Most don’t understand that what most people refer to as Satanism is a protest to the church and organized religion

Most religions still celebrate pagan holidays

"not be led under false pretences" from your post, i believe that disqualifies itself. lol!! i agree with you on all religions sucking and being abused though. but.. if there is a satan, then there is a god, that being the case.. would you like to pick teams again? lol!

satanism is a modern religion, it came up in the 60s
