Figured I'd ask the reasonable people on Imgflip

If they want to go to hell I can't stop them. Meddling in evil and the source of all evil is never a good idea. I've dealt with satanist before. Can't say it was a pleasant experience. When they start harassing Christians and mocking our practices then they've crossed a line.

Thank you for your opinion

What prompted the question? Thinking of joining them?

I am a Satanist, I wanted to see what other people thought they were like

Interesting, and what attracted you to that practice?

the satanic temple are atheist activists who use "satan" as a symbol, they're actually really nice people.

Well not all Atheists use Satan as a Symbol. But I agree that some of them are nice people. I have a few Atheist friende

Friends

So satanist don't believe in any spiritual beings but claim to follow a spiritual being who is evil?

Atheists dont believe in any higher hierarchy. No one, no god, no Satan. But Satanists do believe in Satan, which is evil. The Satanists do not, however Satanists has a whole bunch of collections of spiritual beings.

Satan - of Scripture - is NOT evil.

Like Ghosts, Witches, anything with powers and wanting to hurt people. Those are demons. But now that I think about it, Satanists are really believing the Anti-christ

"Literally look it up on bible apps, I didnt that important that you need verses. And I dont know why your acting like that"

You're aware that literally everything in the Bible was someone's opinion and you thinking it's true is just your opinion and that opinions are not the same as objective facts, right?

Lets just say this (Sorry how its long)
In Christian eschatology, the Antichrist, or anti-Christ, is a person prophesied by the Bible to oppose Christ and substitute himself in Christ's place before the Second Coming. The term (including one plural form) is found five times in the New Testament, solely in the First and Second Epistle of John. The Antichrist is announced as the one "who denies the Father and the Son."
In Revelations it says "And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads. And the beast that I saw was like a leopard; its feet were like a bear's, and its mouth was like a lion's mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority. One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast"

It also said that this earth, and the ones that are of this world are also part of the Anti-christ. It also says "Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God."
Im afraid the end times are coming, read in Revelations, and it says a bunch of stuff about how we can tell when the end times are coming, and the Anti-christ will make his appearance.

Nice. You might enjoy the Scripture or World religions streams.

I might do that

Nice Wiki copypaste, that is.

When copypasting something, start and end with quotes and cite the source.

Also, the reason Satan is not mentioned in any of that is because they are not him.

Yes they are, Satan plays a huge part in the bible.

Let's stop wasting my time and post it already.

Literally look it up on bible apps, I didnt that important that you need verses. And I dont know why your acting like that

"Yes they are, Satan plays a huge part in the bible."

Throw us some quotes.

He played the serpent in Genesis, he also was talking to Jesus, trying to get Jesus to fail. By making him like a bad king. He was plays a role in Genesis

"Yes they are, Satan plays a huge part in the bible."

Indeed he does, sorta. Only not in the way you think.

Feel free to copypaste more Wikipedia to back your false assertion which you haven't because you can't.

🔳 Thou shalt not lie

🔳 Thou sahlt not bear false witness

- and that includes against those who sit at the Heavenly Council with God like the Satan does.

Its Wikipedia, its bible apps, I dont know why your being so toxic about this.

I. do. not. have. Bible. wiki. apps.
I. am. not. doing. your. homework. for. you. which. I. already. know. is. based. on. lies. to. start. with.

QUOTE IT and be done with it.

Bye.bye

"Breezeyrulz___

Those aren't quotes, and again, FALSE. Satan was NOT in the garden.

Golly, Jesus got told if he's hungry to have himself some bread. How utterly evil,,,
The lesson? Next time you're stuck in the desert for an extended stay, bring yourself something more than wine to dine on, that stuff will do a number on your head.

No theres was wayy more to it. And dont be like that

Atheists, by defintion, have no Gods.

And having known some so-called Satanists, they were hardly Atheists.

Thank you

Look up the Satanic Temple. You'll find Satanists are not at all what you think

I'm asking you what attracts you to satanism versus christianity?

I respect Christianity, however there are so many extremists. I also disagree with many of their beliefs. For example, if God is so powerful, why does he let people murder and steal? Why does he let some people who work hard not have enough to eat, while others do nothing and have everything they want?

I will also mention how many Christians hate on gays.

I'm a christian and I don't hate Gays

I never said that all Christians hate gays

I respect your opinion just in case, for the future things Im about to say. I ask those questions too.
So when Adam and Eve were created, they were told to eat anything they wanted in the Garden, except for the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Eve was tricked by the serpant and Adam sinned. God knows everything that is going to happen, the future, everything. He knew Adam was gonna sin, he let him do it anyway. You know why? Because there wouldn't be choice, you know who to love and obey. Without that, we all would love God mindlessly. So God lets us choose, to do whatever we want. But for the people who work hard and dont get stuff or murder or stealing. Gods made a few appearances, but its only helpful when prayers are to come. God has a plan for everyone, and those who choose to do the wrong thing in life will be judged.
I just realized Kate the Grate, just explained this is shorter text

That IS what Genesis says.

You may quote from your Bible app anything contrary which of course you haven't because you can't.

He did not throw a tantrum, it did not say that at all

Classic story.

"Octavia_Melody1 up, 7h, 2 replies
Would you leave a five-year-old child alone with a loaded handgun?

VagabondSouffle0 ups, <1h
Classic story."

Child meets gun.
Gun goes off at Mother.
Child loses gun.

No why?

Yeah it is.

Because thats illegal. Did I say something wrong?

Well unless there is a bad guy. I dont know, my dad left his guns somewhere and I always knew where they were

Why would God make you hurt yourself?

God knows the future

Small kids don't always make poor choices... "Florida gun enthusiast who was shot in the back by her four-year-old with a handgun she'd left in her truck WON'T be prosecuted
Gun advocate Jamie Gilt, 31 was shot in the back by her toddler March 8
She had left a gun under a car seat, which her son then grabbed
She will not face prosecution provided she meets certain conditions.
They include making ten speeches about the need to secure firearms.
Gilt was formerly active on social media, bragging about son's gun skills."

If it was Gods choice

FALSE.

The Serpent God gifted humanity with wisdom and knowledge of right and wrong by having them partake of the fruit from whence the Gods got theirs.

The other God - a jealous and tyrannical God - had a tantrum and threw them out of Paradise.

????

Wrong! But Im not gonna argue about this because you dislike what I believe in

Instead of copypasting Wiki, how about you actually READ the Bible.
Genesis shouldn't be too hard to find as it is in the beginning.

Apparently Octavia is the ONLY person on this entire site who has ever bothered to.

I actually have read the bible, your the one that said that God threw a tantrum

Ok, I'll play. Refresh me on Eden: creation in our image, eating of the fruit of the tree of knowledge, getting cast out of there, the basics, because your Bible app is privy to some info no one's ever heard of.

Hmm. That's another great question for the Think Tank!. Although you'll find none of those things are really God's fault but rather humans. Unless you think free will was a secret evil plot from God to destroy the human race. If mankind truly lived by the commandments He gave us there would be no suffering, no wars, no inequality.

Yes there are extremist in every walk of life. No reason to write them off entirely.

Alright. Free will is a great thing, and he lets us have it, yes?

Not according to Genesis.

However he lets people take the free will away from others by killing them

Every human is given free will. He does not take it from us. Other humans can claim to have control over others but they can never take away free will.

Did I say something wrong? I know you dont have a problem with what i said, but others do. Is there anything you might see thats taken too offense?

What attracts you to Christianity?

I follow the teachings of Jesus Christ whom you gotta admit was a pretty awesome guy even if you don't believe he was God. If humans follow everything he taught we would eliminate evil from the world. But if you follow satan what sort of life does he encourage?

I was wondering when you'd pop in to this convo, lol. Please tell me these bad teachings of Jesus

And the ones who are having a problem with those verses are taking them literally.

I just popped in because I followed your comment here.

"Jesus says that his followers can drink poison and pick up deadly serpents and they won't be hurt. People have literally died doing what Jesus said they could safely do."

This reminds me of someone, can't quite put my finger on it...

Here is the link to our tenants
https://thesatanictemple.com/blogs/the-satanic-temple-tenets

Those all sound nice (well except the freedom to offend #4 not sure how that promotes justice #2, compassion or empathy toward all #1) but how are these tenants honoring Satan? Those all seem like things the prince of lies and the fallen angel now the ruler of hell would be against.

Same, have you read Revelations, it tells you everything you need to know there. The anti-Christ is feeded among the everything stuff we do everyday. Like when we celebrate the holidays, which were all created by the pagans, who were anti-christ. Only to celebrate their gods. So now when we celebrate those holidays, we are doing so anyway. Anti-Christ is Satans son. Like how God has a son which is Jesus. Anti-christ is feeded by other things, because we are not supposed to be of this world, so when we do, we are supporting the Anti-christs cause. Watch Truth unedited, hes very helpful with this stuff. I still am of this world, I try not to be, so just in case, I dont wanna make you feel bad

I suspect that any of the teachings that still sound convenient today are meant to be taken literally whilst those that don't have always been figurative. Handy, eh?

Not always

Yes they are taken literally. But it takes a while to figure them ojt

Out
