Curious, it's as though the abdication of moral and critical evaluation of our world leads to people being selfish assholes. Who'da thought?

What's the satanism religion about? What things do they believe in and what do they do

Its funny how Satanists look down on other religions as if their doctrine isnt a bunch of made up shit too...

Get off your highest horse

Oh you!
BiteTheHandsThatThieve
Yeah, but satanists don't tell me I'm an awful person for not believing anything, so i like em.
shitwhatismyusername
Thier doctrine isn't made up shit, it's basically don't be a shitty person. Educate yourself.
ListenHereYouLittleShirt
I've known actual Satanists. That's completely inaccurate. The chief teaching is to worship yourself.
jsnforce
Its made up shit. The whole "religion" is a troll on Christianity. Any point they can make to give insult and look superior.
Syriio
Troll of Christianity, then is Christianity a troll on like free will?
jsnforce
You think there's such thing.
Syriio
Probably not, but trolling of.... Non-conscious reaction to intrinsic and extrinsic stimuli didn't have the same ring to it.
ImgurMontoya
The Bible says the summation of the word is "Love thy neighbor as you love thyself". Pretty much the same thing as what you said.

Because u don't make money off people if they have to believe in themselves/other people. Just pay this invisible man and he'll reward ya ;)
BiteTheHandsThatThieve
I don't hold the same belief, but i agree that those are our responsibilities as human beings. But religion plays a very large role in
BiteTheHandsThatThieve
identity, which is why even when the specific shit is out dated it is held so closely. The origin of the specific shit is from a time when
BiteTheHandsThatThieve
religion and culture were the same thing. Hence the odd specific nature of a lot of the rules.
CheesusChrisp
Yea but we've come to a point where some of things need to be thrown out so we can advance as a species. I feel like that's what God wants.

Actually, completely incorrect. First, the Old Testament says quite a few nasty things which are gone in the new one, second in the Qu'ran
OriginaIPoster
it says that men may not commit any unwanted sexual advances on women.
OriginaIPoster
The "Satanic Bible" *there is no such thing btw* is pretty much all evil. Murder, rape, etc
buttercupbutt18
I expect to be sorely down-voted for this but what if all Gods are the same God and they just seem different based on the culture they 1)
buttercupbutt18
Originated in.... I mean cultures are very different based on when they were formed and where, so each God reflects that but at the base 2)
buttercupbutt18
Of MOST (not all) religions, they all hold pretty much the same principles. Others before yourself. Don't steal. That type of thing. 3)
HockeyPls
The core message from Christianity in fact HEAVILY contrasts that of every other religion. Theology is so so so soooo much more in depth
HockeyPls
Than "don't steal. Don't kill etc etc"
buttercupbutt18
Oh I'm sure that every religion varies, I'm just using two of the most common principles. Buddhism teaches not to steal and to be kind too.
HockeyPls
Yes - but "varies" is a gross understatement. The nature of every theological word I could throw at you is different from In religion.

The Satanic Bible also says that if someone annoys you that you should destroy them.

imadethisaccounttocommentonpictures
Quran is 7:80-84, may be more but I'm not sure. To add some context gays are transgressors and the Quransays transgressors should be killed
MyPatronusIsVernonDursley
Well the Quran is fucking wrong
hsashel
I believe that the bible quote that they are referring to is deuteronomy 22: 28-29. I don't know about the others. Hope this helps. :)
MyPatronusIsVernonDursley
So I thank you
MyPatronusIsVernonDursley
I will look into it. It's not like the bible isn't a bunch of contradicting, superstitious frivolity, but it's nice to have proper reference
MyPatronusIsVernonDursley
Just read it all. If that's what they're referring to, they're wrong. That's the stupidest way I've ever seen to interpret that passage
paul289
It's more like "Woman is now defiled, so Rapist must pay damages as though he married her, and now is responsible for her well-being."
paul289
Virginity was highly prized then, and also being "wed," the rapist would undoubtedly suffer the wrath of her brothers if he fucked up again
MyPatronusIsVernonDursley
That passage says nothing of the sort
paul289
That passage absolutely says that. Being no longer a virgin, marriage is basically impossible, so she would be outcast otherwise.
MyPatronusIsVernonDursley
Also, who in their proper mind would want to worship a deity like the one described here?! Holy shit, pun intended.

There are different views on it, but the basics is just recognizing that he tried to empower humans while god is the dick in the story.

Hating religions so much that you start your own. Humans be crazy.

Violin and swim mostly.
accidentlyawesome
If you research satanism, it's actually more like atheism and Satan is like their mascot. They focus on giving into ones carnal self.
Skiafluff
Satan is their mascot because they're anti-theism really. I read the LeVay bible in highschool to be edgy, but learned a lot.
Skiafluff
And more than Carnal self it's more of enjoying your life to the fullest without ruining the enjoyment of others.
shitwhatismyusername
I love that you admit that you were trying to be edgy lol. I was in the same boat.
Burlybear45
Look up levayan satanism. Also separate the occult from satanism, there nothing alike
charliesheen420
That's LaVeyan satanism up above. It's more like Buddhism and completely different than occult satanism.
YouCanHateMeNow
To be a fucking retard and reject wisdom. Religions all came as a calendar system and one has a calendar to track millenia long events 1/2
YouCanHateMeNow
2/2 it how they are able to anticipate the financial collapses. They are best at "The Game" of life built upon creating law ages of time ago
YouCanHateMeNow
Think of it as a 4D consciousness that rules over the game we 3D simulation we people live in. But most satanists enjoy ignorance. Its bliss
YouCanHateMeNow
Jesus changed the game by taking a dump on the law and saying to only love God and love your fellow man. Only False Pastors condemn others

There's no praying to anyone in Satanism. Shit that's almost on the first page of the FAQ.

there's a FAQ??

Modern day satanism.
magphoenix
But is Satan truly evil? He was kicked out of heaven for having an opinion and we are told he is evil by a historically vindictive God.
TheEmperorOfMankind40000
All he wanted us to do is succed. He is probably the only one who encourages us not to sin. He trucks people to test their will to be good.

Not that I believe in any of that shit. I just like pointing out the flaws in religions logic.

FTR, it is the TORAH that says the first one...Christianity teaches that the New Testament supercedes the old. Old is just there for context
PirateOne
According to your bible Jesus said the old law is still in place. Feel free to ignore JC if you want. Most Xtians do.
Goodmerlinpeen
That is not technically true, the whole story also illustrates the different interpretations Jesus' disciples had of his intentions.
shitwhatismyusername
Not trolling, being 100% serious. How is it that when Christianty decided "hey maybe the shit we belive is a little fucked up, maybe we 1/?
clearwall
It's always been that way. When the Counci of Trent decided which books would be a part of the Christian bible
shitwhatismyusername
Should rewrite what we believe and tell everyone it supcedes the old stuff" it made any sense to anyone following it.
dandelionwino
Yeah, changing your mind when you realize you are wrong IS stupid.
MenaceToSobriety
Remember the Jesus character? He was apparently important. When he showed up the rules changed, according to the story. It's mentioned alot
MrWigglesworth
Referring to what this picture is saying Christianity believes: That law was put into place for the Israelites, a nomadic middle eastern 1/x
MrWigglesworth
tribe. A woman who was no longer a virgin would not have been able to get married, thus ensuring that she would die a widow and 2/x
MrWigglesworth
Her family line might die out. This law was to make the rapist "pay up," essentially guaranteeing that the man responsible for this 3/x
dajustifier
The New Testament says "no woman should ever have authority over a man," and is cool with slavery.
Eastcoastthoughtprocess
Haha nobody seems to get this.
StopLookingAtMyName
Well that'd be because one half of Christians say the Old Testament no longer applies and the others say it does.
DVSBSTrD
Least of all Christians.

@clearwall, the hero we need.
heyerc
You're both ridiculous
DeathApocalypse
Also FTR, the torah means that the woman has the CHOICE whether or not she wants to marry him (might want to b/c she's no longer virgin(1/2)
DeathApocalypse
& it'll be harder to get married). if she does want to a) he HAS to marry her & b) can NEVER divorce her without hs consent (normally [2/3]
DeathApocalypse
According to strict law only husband has to want to divorce. Not so prevalent now unless you're a douchebag) {3/3}

You see... Not every denomination believes that. Hence the whole wars of religion thing.

No, it doesn't say what they are claiming. It's a completely retarded meme passed amongst atheist bumpkins.
fun2balive
Oh yea I forgot, God changed his mind because he fucked up and killed too many people in old so he brought a new one
MushroomFiend
It's hard to explain. The rapist has to pay a dowry as if married. On top of other punishments
blaHumbug
This is just how it is in practice, nothing in the actual bible says "stop doing all that other shit."
buttercupbutt18
Lmao I told a Christian friend of mine this once and he looked at me like I was crazy. I was like why do you think it's call CHRISTIANITY?!
whitey211
Mathew 5:17 would argue otherwise...
RobertEmmet
Also, the cited passage in leviticus is actually saying that if you rape someone, you owe her a livelihood and home. In the context in which
RobertEmmet
it was written, though most of leviticus is horrifying to modern ethics, it was like a Geneva convention or declaration of human rights.

ChannahL
Those aren't the only barbaric ones
AdditionalPants
The OT says that if a couple CONSENSUALLY does it before marriage they can make it right by getting married, at a statutory bride-price.
AdditionalPants
Rape is a whole different thing. Also, the New Testament does not replace the Old. Certain types of rules no longer apply, that's all.
AdditionalPants
For example, Christians still use the 10 commandments, but not the laws about fences on your roof. And there's a good reason for that:
AdditionalPants
The old testament had rules for a religion and a theocratic nation-state. The nation-state was basically a character in a centuries-long
AdditionalPants
Morality play about God's relationship with man. When Jesus came, the play ended, so the nation and its rules are obsolete.
AFineDayForScience
As someone who knows very little about religion why did we throw out the Old Testament? Did God change his mind about something?
MoJoVixen
Didnt fit the new friendly vibe Christians were going for so they hired a PR company
Cheomesh
I'm not a believer, but why would it be weird of a god changed their mind?
KyleBeach
The OT was the history of the jews as well as their laws, many of which were man made to help them thrive in the hostile lands the were
KyleBeach
perpetually living in. Jesus came and died for our sins in the NT and this act fulfills and supercedes the OT since the OT was about the
KyleBeach
jews and NT was about basically anyone who followed jesus' teachings and believed him the son of god.
iPretend
There was a law before Christ that was impossible to perfectly follow, Christ followed it perfectly in our stead that we can't be judged.
iPretend
Also many laws in the OT were established so that the message and prophecies of Gods deliverance would survive the ages before Christs 1/

Incarnation without interrupting the free will of men. Christs advent fulfilled these laws and changed the nature of obedience.
iPretend
This is probably completely wrong but it the best I can understand it

It's not that they threw it out, it's when Christ came, he gave us new "laws" which is mostly, love your neighbor, and don't be a dick.

When he did was God like, "Hey! Those are my laws. I like those laws."

Well Christ is God, and Jesus always followed Gods plan, so it was all on purpose
AFineDayForScience
So then God was like![]()
iseeboob
That's why he was tested with a prostitute, law said he could stone her to death, but he shown compassion and love.
parksAndRings
The old testament contains histories and the restrictive laws of the Jews imposed as punishment for their sins. In Christian theology 1/2

Jesus was sent to earth as God's ultimate act of love, and his death absolves all our sins. Adhering to the laws in the old testament 2/3
parksAndRings
Is like saying that we are still waiting for Christ to come. 3/3
bofadeez
Source? Specifically where in the New Testament does it say the rules of the old no longer apply
phobes
Exactly, and anyone who believes the OT laws still apply are essentially saying Jesus' sacrifice wasn't good enough, which is 100% wrong.
