christianity vs satanism, the truth about these religions.

define demons, define hell. what's it like down there? or up there perhaps? BTW, these are facts i don't claim them that's why i find references in order to prove them. i didn't make them up it says there. Where'd you get ur facts? u definetly made it all up? im sure you got it some place else.

 

Demon-
Demon and daemon were once used interchangeably. The former came to English from medieval Latin, while the latter was from classical Latin. The earliest use appears to have been in the phrase daemon of Socrates, which was his "attendant, ministering, or indwelling spirit; genius". That was in the late 14th century. It was a short time later that the term demon came to refer to "an evil spirit" by influence of its usage in various versions of the Bible. The Greek form was used to translate Hebrew words for "lords, idols" and "hairy ones (satyrs)". Wyclif translated it from Greek to English fiend or devil. This is how the evil connotation arose. By the late 16th century, the general supernatural meaning was being distinguished with the spelling daemon, while the evil meaning remained demon.

Hell- world were the original god's live.

It's likely to be great.

This is the site page:

There are different sects of Satanism. Joy of Satan Ministries is Spiritual Satanism.

Satanism is not a "Christian invention."

Satanism predates Christianity and all other religions.

Satanism is not about spooks, goblins, vampires, Halloween monsters or other related entities.

Satanism is not about "evil."

Satanism is not a "reaction" to Christianity.

Satanism is not about death.

this clearly contradicts what ye said topic maker

 

nice copy and paste from wikipedia too. LOL what would this being look like?

 

-=Warning: Biased and uncaring information below=-

The conversation is seeming to lose focus. Now, while I can attest to the fact that many "Christians" have "persecuted" paganism and many other religions, I will stand firm in my biased, and most likely ignorant, belief that Paganism, Wicca, and every "religion" like them are based of 13 something s**ts construing something out of proportion. There are a very few older true believers of the "religions" and I will remove half my spine, bend backwards and eat my own a** before I take religious information from an Angelfire or Freewebs or Bravenet or anything of the sort, which is par for the course from a 13 year old with a thick book they've only read page 666 from on the Pagan belief. Now I firmly believe that I could be proved wrong, but I sincerely doubt it will happen anytime soon.

 

Look in wikipedia and let's see if it is similar.

But it's true. Try doing some of the meditations and summonings (Without dedication) and let's see what happen to ye. As for taking information from angel fire, "It came to my unconcious mind that I should type the site in the search engine." That is not natural.

 

yeah, and try looking at every other sites and pages. i know you copied that somewhere, whether it's wikipedia or not you still copied it. Back to the topic..

@Deathbreak911, i think we're on the same side here info in such webpages are not all real especially if it is blogged by anyone who thinks he's anyone.

 

And we do not believe easily what should've been thought to us by our forefathers and ancestors like the bible.
It's 5 am and we santino maniac have no sleep, can ye do it? lol

 

I would like to clear up some misconceptions about Satanism. Although I am not a Satanist I have had many dealings with people who classify themselves as such. (my thoughts are generalistic and only relate to Satanists who actually know what they are talking about)

Satanism has two distinct branches, atheistic and theistic.

Atheistic Satanists recognise the individuality of the self and seek to promote that as a basis of human civilisation. They see all religion as a barrier to individual freedom and liberty and think that an end to religion would result in a new enlightenment for humanity. As libertarians they do not condone or support using other people for their own gain as they believe liberty is a universal right of man. The pursuit of love and happyness are also centrally important and hedonistic living is encouraged.

Theistic Satanists come in many flavours from people like these http://www.xeper.org/ to others like these http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yazidi
It is difficult to generalise their beliefs as they are wildly divergent. I can say that all real Satanic religious groups trace their origin or inspiration to pre-biblical times. They do not consider themselves anti-Christian as such, they do say that the concept of Satan in the bible is incorrect, and is more about racial and cultural bigotry than theological argument. Like the atheistic Satanists they believe in the pursuit of liberty for all man but unlke the atheists they feel that this can be accomplished through religious belief.

There are some Satanic groups who are openly hostile to religion. Their hostility is primarily directed towards the Abrahamic religions, namely Judasim, Islam and Christianity, they are generally more tolerant towards Hinduism, Buddism, Taoism, Paganism, ect. as they feel that these latter religions hold valuable knowledge about the human self and contain tools that can liberate and enlighten.
Other Satanists do not concern themselves much with religion as they feel that their own pursuit of liberty is more important than liberating those who wish to be like sheep.

So Satanism is not equivalent to anti-Christianity, as the idea of Satan, and also Lucifer, is much older than the Bible. Also, Satanists should not be confused with those who practice magick or the occult arts. Many Satanists do make use of magical techniques in the same way that many (esoteric)Chrisitans do, but occultism should be seen as a tool and not defined by those who use it.

Having met many Satanists from all over the world I can honestly say they are usually quite polite, intelligent, engaging and loving people. There are of couse the idiots that you will find in any group, but the average Satanist is usually a nice person.

 

Well, we'll be going to sleep, me and santino maniac, cuz his my cousin. lol. we'll continue this debate when we wake up, maybe later.

 

why wouldn't we not? why do you believe in satanist? it is too from they're forefathers and ancestors, why do you believe them? so you make believe them, because you what that what they're telling is true right?

@ 1prinnydood, you said that satanists are nice people right? then why do they mock the catholic faith? why question other religions, is it not enough to live peaceful without conflict??

 

I suggest you read what I wrote again, your questions are answered in my post.

 

it does seem like you've captured my point in this debate. but still it doesn't seem to answer my questions. you see dude, life goes on anyway whether you're christian or satanist, black or white, girl or boy, gay or not gay. Satanist is not the oldest religion, and it's way too different from paganism based on my references. I just wondered why satanists mock and question other beliefs but not question they're religion, how it came to be, what are the lies about satanism, the mistakes, what's wrong with it. They always question religions without even questioning they're own. Soo are you telling me there are a lot of mistakes christianity made thyough the years? that it is a lie? and satanism hasn't done anything bad or cruel? why do they exaggerate about christianity? reasearch about it and question it, why dont they just look at they're own history. Satanism is like a form of hypnotism, telling people the lies of christianity, persuading them to revolt against they're faith, they wouldn't do this if they do not want revenge. Revenge is not the answer to these problems, it can only start another holy war, and thousands of innocent people will fall cruelty of this stupid collision. tell me why satanism is better than christianity, research from the oldest books of satan and see that satanism is the biggest lie than christianity.

 

I am quite sure that all religions are guilty of attacking anyone who does not agree with them, I am not sure why you choose to highlight Satanism. You speak of revenge and revolt against faith, as I said before many Satanists are atheists, and many never had a religion to revolt against. There is nothing wrong with people choosing to alter their faith, freedom of thought and religion is a good thing.

I did not claim Satanism is the oldest religion, but it certainly pre-dates Judaism. Religious Satanism is a form of Paganism, that does not mean all Pagans are Satanists. Satanists do question their own beliefs that is why many of them are atheists and choose Satanism as a way of life and not as a religion.

You ask me to tell you why Satanism is better than Christanity. Ultimatly only you can answer that question for yourself, you should be responsible for you own beliefs. I do not promote Satanism, any religion or any way of life, I do promote the freedom for all to find their own way through life and as long as they do not use their beliefs to oppress or restrict me then those beliefs are their business and not mine.

I do not think Satanism is interested in any 'holy war' as you put it, there are of course zealots both within all religion and outside of it. I would imagine most Satanists realise that the other religions are doing a pretty good job of destroying each other.

As I said in my first post I am not a Satanist, even if I where I could not speak for them as they are too diverse. I can only try to answer your questions from my understanding of Satanism, I try to be as accurate as I can but given the scope and long history of Satanism I cannot guarantee accuracy. If you would like to read a good book I can recommend Cults of the Shadow by Kenneth Grant.

 

Hey no offense

Ye dig yer own grave there mate. Christianity is a mistake even from the start.Long years of inquisition has made people afraid of jewsus and forced them to take actions to yer.

 

im not asking for you're own idea about the topic, im asking about what good can it bring to us? and what makes you think satanism doesn't want war and those stuff. so are you saying that satanists are perfect beings? they do not kill, they do not the things evil?

@ Lechongbaboy, 1prinnydood. What makes you think it's a mistake? haven't you ever thought about what a mistake satanism is? maybe satanism is one of the biggest lies ever discovered. you told me it is like pagan, and when i saw my reference it is stated that it is different than pagan. most likely, based on the facts you have read on the internet, i think some aren't real and they are just being exaggerated. you know why? if they are just peaceful people, why bother mock and question christianity? why not islam?

 

islam tolerated other religions freely unlike catholics.
