The both sound alike but do they mean the same thing? What's the difference?

Well seeing as satan is supposed to be the devil I doubt there is a difference.

The Grey Fox
See the thread I made, The Truth of Satanism. It explains Satanism. Devil-Worship is an older, more occult practice, and was predominant in the Middle Ages.

Satanism is a philosophy based religion, who don't actually believe in Satan, he is just used as a parable/metaphor for their code of beliefs.

thats not quite true grey fox, you see in Satanism there is the left and the right hand path, the left hand path is what your talking about wheras the right hand path is the path that Fist is speaking off

One is a fantasy of worshiping an imaginary being, the other understands that there IS NOT one, but uses it in it's title.

There are many varieties of Satanic belief, ranging from religious to political. Because there is no real consensus of belief in the Satanic community, and as modern Satanic groups tend to promote individuality, it is difficult to present one cohesive Satanic doctrine.

true words, i think people should use a diffrent name if they dont actually worship or have anything much to do with Satan

Dude used the name Satan to symbolize that they were the opposite of Christianity.

Satanism is all about self worship.
Devil Worship is made up to scare people.

I was referring to LaVey Satanism. The predominant version in the modern world.

However, you have to believe in Christian mythology to believe in devils or Satan. Therefore, Satanism is a subset religion to Christianity.

no type of satanism belive in devils, thats a common miscomception

Satanists dont see Satan as a devil and only use that name because they see him as a deity who knows its blasphemy but doesnt recent us for it because in satanism they dont worship Satan but they see him as a common ally

they simply see any christian myths as lieing blasphemy

But Satan is part of Christian mythology.

Satan its true is the name, but once again they just use it

Satanists dont belive that, they have followed roots to where christianity has stolen the name and mixed it up to say Satan but they belive Satan or Ea' as they call him is an egyption being and that christianity is a blasphemous lie to cover that

So, should we call it Eaism?

Burning thought
you can call it what you like, suppose it should be called eaism....but like all other types of Satanism..its still called Satanism

maybe because Satan means "adversary" and they are "adversary" to christianity

Most stanists, luciferians dont even believe in Satan. Im sure there is a one or two cults related to satan worship that go around sacrificing animals, but thats not what satanism promotes. Essentially it is a philosophy that tells one to live by their own ego.

It's really labeled 'Satanism' because Lavey was a showman and used the term 'Satanism' to gain attention in the public eye.He belived God and the Devil were delusional states in the human mind and that people should give into carnal pleasure.The name was used to turn heads socialy and has nothing to do with them actualy worshipping satan.

satan worship= gothic people who like psuedowikka think they are worshippping the evil lord of hell with horns. think little nicky and the two idiots.

satanism= relegion which says that satan is the true creator of heaven and hell and he created everything when the evil yahweh was looking away. they also believe he is most generous accepting and loving but only a lil proud. he doesnt create heaven or hell and only shows people ways of staying away form what the evil god created. him and his 300 demons are humanity's givers of knowledge etc. the getia of solomon is very important with its 100 or 300 lords of hell like azmodeus, astaroth, baal, belial etc. thye need to be wroshipped with pentagrams and what not and the proud demons will give u thing. dont offend their pride and they wont leave you. satan is also powerful enough to turle earth and even micheal can so nuthing to him. god is evil and satan's true old testament was thrown away by god beleievers and named evil etc. and the false bible gives evil advice and false prophecies. i once went to this entire site when i was younger. forgotten a lot of it but they had really nice views about a lot of things. deluded but not evil in any way.
