A bad satanist would no longer be considered a satanist
Then why associate yourself with a fictional figure if it basically has nothing to do with it?

Basically to be edgy.

Cause it is a figure in the most powerful mythology in the world. It gives you free exposure, as well as making your point in a neat shorthand, also it trolls a shitload of people....it's really just all upside....

The wiccan/satanist girl I dated pretty much just doing it to piss off Christians. Which tbh was fun, but its really not a serious religion. More of a social club for angry misfits.

There are 2 types of Satanists: those who use it as a symbol for rebellion against religious organization, and those who worship Satan himself.

I see no point in worshipping anything evil. If you perform acts of crime to glorify Satan, I guess that makes you inherently evil.

No it doesn't make you a bad person. It has nothing to do with the worship of some evil guy who tortures people in hell. But that is the image a lot of people get when they hear the word.

To them Satan was the poster child for rebellion. It's a bit more complex then that obviously, but that is the way in which they interpret Satan. Note that they don't actually believe Satan was real.

Here is the thing though, the biblical Satan didn't commit any atrocities on the level that God did. So if people did worship him why would it be bad? Can anyone answer this?

i've only ever met one "satanist" irl

he was a depressed metalhead i met at work

he looked and dressed like a metal head and you expected him to be evil and shit just looking at him

but when you got to know him you figured out that he was really peaceful and passive, i asked him to buy some cigs off him one time and he gave them to me and refused to take my money cause "it would bother him morally" or someshit like that

i was like wtf you're the worst satanist ever... lucifer would not be proud

do you get the sense from reading the bible stories that satan was rebelling out of some righteous cause?

because from what i remember about him, he basically just tries to subvert god's plans for the sake of doing so... it's a power play not a moral stance

and yea the biblical god by our modern standards didn't always act morally... but if you are a modern and secular person i would think you are capable of putting that into the context of the region and time that the biblical stories were made. just like you wouldn't judge the ancient greeks for revering gods that were at times cruel and indifferent to human suffering.

but the biblical god is clearly supposed to be a force of good, from the perspective of the ancient israelite. and satan is only there to subvert him. he's a force of destruction and decay.

so if you are a modern and secular person and you worship that... then yea it doesn't mean you are bad but it makes you look pretty silly imo.

Athiests who call themselves Satanists do so to troll.

Are trolls bad people? Some would say yes, some would say no.

Unless they're Shrek. If so, then we'd have to take into context if we're talking about pre-Fiona Shrek or post-Fiona Shrek. And we can't really call pre-Fiona Shrek bad, either. Just cranky.

You're right.

Guess all trolls are just that then.

Unless they're them doll trolls. If so, then they're cute and fluffy toys with long hair.

Tho, I don't get the hostility. Bad coffee?

Coffee's a vile substance, and I will never understand why people drink it.

And I'm merely perturbed you would mistake the identity of the great, benevolent Shrek

I agree, never touch the stuff. I do notice ppl who drink it often tend to get cranky a lot. Was an unfair assumption on my part, I apologize.

Frankly, I'm surprised I got troll and ogre mixed up myself, I'm usually really in tune with animation/fantasy nomenclature.
