![WHY WOULD ANYONE DECIDE TO WORSHIP SATAN? [2 OF 2] Besides the irrelevancy of so many apostate Christian Churches today, other reasons people choose satanism are because of changing societal customs, unusually intense pressures when families split, and an erosion of confidence in all our modern institutions. Just like a common reason young men will join deadly violent gangs, people today may decide to try satanism because of extreme loneliness: They feel no one cares about them, so they are excited to be wanted by anyone, even satanists. The devil and his minions try to steer every human toward sin and death. Praise God that we Christians are indwelled with the Holy Spirit—He stomps demons. Like a fatherless boy or girl joining a gang to have a “family,” a desperate recruit to satanism often joins because it’s at least a group that will accept him or her. As mentioned earlier, other converts to satanism do so for
the mysticism: "The influence of Eastern religions in America and continued
emphasis [on] psychic phenomenon and mind-expanding drugs [a huge
part of the occult,] have turned many to the mystical approach to life."; Besides being attracted to magic and other mystic-spiritual teachings, today’s youth also find satanism through a music industry that has saturated our culture with occultism for decades, glorifying Lucifer through satanic lyrics that echo in young minds long after hearing the captivating tunes. Also prevalent with kids are fantasy, role-playing video games, something many adults also obsess over these days. Through those sorts of entertainments, as well as television and movies, our kids are constantly taught that satanism is cool, and can be a great way to gain the power often desperately sought by children and teenagers. Again, home breakups—the decline of intact, American families—are also to blame for easier recruiting by the occult: "The traditional family of dad, mom, and a child or two is getting harder to find. Only 11% of all US households [fit] this description." This means 89% of American households do not have
both parents married to each other and living with the children—that’s messed
up! One satanist admitted that his family situation contributed to him joining
satanism: "If I had a close family relationship, I might not have gotten
into satanism. There was an absence, and Satan filled that." | image tagged in satanism,devil,evil,god,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5zhxj4.jpg)
![WHY WOULD ANYONE DECIDE TO WORSHIP SATAN? [1 OF 2] People are drawn to satanism for many reasons, one of which is its mysterious nature. However, those seekers quickly find it a hellish life, as this former devil worshiper warns: "I thought at first I could be a Satanist on just a philosophical level, but I could feel Satan wanted me to go on to a bigger level—to sacrificing bigger animals, then maybe to humans, and then even my life." Satanists have a high suicide rate, and Jesus explains that is because Lucifer is more than the father of lies, he’s also a murderer. So, even for non-satanists, thoughts of suicide come from Lucifer and his demons, as opposed to God who always chooses life. Whether Christian or not, no matter what you may be going through, extreme problems are almost always temporary—so suicide is a permanent solution to a passing issue. But lying Satan wants us to die before you and I can
get saved through Jesus; thus, taking us with him to the Lake of Fire.
Besides satanism’s mystery, another reason today’s young people
get duped to join is because they’re looking for answers in places
where the vast majority of recently generations would not go. America used to have an abundance of biblical Churches, but so many of our modern, supposedly Christian organizations are absolutely messed up; they go along with our world’s changing culture, becoming irrelevant and leaving our youth to look elsewhere for meaning in life. Young people want to the know the truth, but today’s Churches are only giving them self-help seminars—"Learn to be a better you!” God’s houses and shepherds don’t want to go against the world and its media-driven progressive culture, so they endlessly supply fluff meant to build the self-esteem of their congregations. But even that fails from the self-focus that ultimately damages people’s self-image, and deprives them of the joy and peace that comes from doing the Lord’s work, focusing on God and helping others come with us to heaven. Young people easily spot the shakiness of the shallow, self-help messages.
They are sick of it. So, when today’s youth get no substance from the
Church, they search elsewhere, even in the occult. | image tagged in satanism,devil,god,bible,jesus,evil | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5zhwrv.jpg)
