People practicing satanism doesn't make him real...Satan/devil was created in 150 AD by Justin Martyr. He added al the torment thing...The Jews being God original people DO NOT BELIEVE IN A SATAN...That idea came from paganism.

That's not very true. Satanists very much recognize a God and a Christ. They even recognize an end and a final justice. Infact they have even admited to being on the losing side. The only reason there staying, is Satan promises a little less tourment the more sould you drag down with you. I know this, not because I was once a Satanist, but a friend of mine was. And I say friend because he is now a devout Catholic knowing what the shorter end of the stick is like...
Well.. im not a really smart guy.. but i think youre right.. i think they decide to go to satan's side.. the thing is.. most of the so called 'satanists' are just try hards that try and act all gothic and write lame lil stuff on their fingers and that.. srsly.. there's so many people that try to be satanic.. they just want to fit in i guess..
That's not very true. Satanists very much recognize a God and a Christ. They even recognize an end and a final justice.TRUE satanist are mostley agnostics, if they discuss satan they dont refere to the christian devil. Satan for them are about, virility,pleasure, strength and a pasion for life. A pagan way, a pre christian way. Satan for them is not a powerful entity but a way to celebrate the induvidual.
Gothic is a style of architecture and literature.
The Goths were an East Germanic tribe which according to their own traditions originated in Scandinavia (specifically Götaland and Gotland). They migrated southwards and conquered parts of the Roman empire. Two closely related tribes that remained in Scandinavia and who are often called Goths (1) are separately treated, as Geats and Gotlanders.
-From Wikipedia
So there you go. I don't believe that style exactly worships anything, and the Goths were pagans or christians.

That's funny.The church of Satan in LA has no connection to the devil or Christ.Did they change.The leader of their church said satanism is about giving completly in to your animal side and mentioned nothing of the second coming or any of that.

What is your image of a devil. Becuase some christians believe it to be a little dude with horns a fork and a tail. I dont though...

Give in to your animal side, and you become nothing better than an animal...
