Is Christianity theologically linked to Islam in any way?

That's why I said "practicing polytheists" instead of "dogmatic polytheists". So, booyah!

😄 😛

Seems I hit a nerve with Star. It takes quite a bit to cause a triple post like that.

Anyway, I'm not remotely a Satanist, and don't have any reason to convince you of anything concerning it. So when I say most Satanists don't literally believe in Satan, it's because I did a Google search and every single thing that came up confirmed that, including unambiguous quotes from the so-called Satanic Bible and several key texts in Satanic lore. It's easy to confirm yourself if you'd like to look into it.

Also, if Star has really never met anyone who doesn't believe in a literal flood, he's in a very insulated bubble. Anyway, on the flood, here's a tidbit I found:
A 2011 Gallup survey reports, "Three in 10 Americans interpret the Bible literally, saying it is the actual word of God. That is similar to what Gallup has measured over the last two decades, but down from the 1970s and 1980s. A 49% plurality of Americans say the Bible is the inspired word of God but that it should not be taken literally, consistently the most common view in Gallup's nearly 40-year history of this question. Another 17% consider the Bible an ancient book of stories recorded by man."

That's from a Wiki article on Biblical literalism.

I hesitated to put percentages to my earlier claim that many - perhaps a majority - of Christians don't interpret much of the Old Testament literally, because I haven't researched it. But this seems to support my claim.

So if I'm a secret Satanist trying to deceive the 3-4 of you here on KMC with my lies, the conspiracy runs pretty deep. Wikipedia and Gallup are clearly in on it, and the devil has a horrible sense of prioritization. I've been petitioning for him to give me an assignment with more than about a dozen 20-something males, but he seems pretty intent on corrupting this super-important corner of the internet.

🙄

LMAO. Post all the so-called "evidence" you like. I won't read it because any source to any link you post is gonna be biased.

Gallup polls aren't religiously motivated. I'm just reporting what I found. If the evidence had supported your claim, I still would have posted it.

You're welcome to do your own research though. I'd be interested to see it.

Pretty sure digi is a full blown satanist, I wouldn't believe a word he says.

Lol. I'm not sure you realize the degree to which Star believes stuff like that. With you and I it's a fun little joke. But I can't mockingly respond in the affirmative to this like I'd want to, because there's a decent chance he'd take it seriously and I'd be here for the next 3 pages.

Worshipping Satan is no joke, fren.
