    Good point. They sound like they are familiar with MAGA tendencies

    Satanism is a recognized religion in the US, whether you like it not. Its protected by the Constitution. The founding fathers made it that way.

    Satan is NOT a "religious" figure.

    By whom? Did the Congress of the U.S.A. sign "that" bill... was that same imaginary bill signed into law by a POTUS? I must have missed that.

    Ok, I'll bite (although I'm sure to regret this), what or who is Satan...

    What do you consider a religious figure? He is a figure in multiple religions.

    The Scriptures literally tell many instances of pagan/satanic worship and religion throughout biblical history.

    I find the worship of anything other than the God of Abraham and His son Jesus to be wrong.

    Yet, I also don't want some liberal (atheist) making decisions someday about what religions are ok and protected.

    This is what many keep missing. We are creating a monster that will seek its revenge..

    Satan's fate is already determined in the Christian faith. Worry about spreading the truth of who Jesus was and THAT solves things

    Jesus said, "If I be lifted up, I will draw all to me." The solution isn't to worry about what others believe. Jesus Himself just said, tell them about me. Make them see what I am about.

    Prove that Satan ever existed... Comparing Satan to Jesus Christ, Catholicism and by extension Judaism?. That is NO a true analogous comparison.

    Pretty sure I am calling him out like I did you and pretty sure I've let you do it for years before you got any PM.

    So settle down.

    Taking repeated jabs about a private message while trying to get the last word in over and over isn't getting back on topic. Watch how fast this thread gets back on topic if you take a step in that direction as well....

    This is funny because it is true. Nothing to do with ol' Satan himself at all.

    It's a deep intellectual hippie movement left over from the 1970's, where people hold hands and think inwardly. It's a good thing they have a tall fence, they would never have seen this burnout slowly lighting his Mason jars nearby.

    In a fair world, Satan should sue them for the naming rights.

    Satan worshiping is worshiping the occult... right up there with Voodoo and Santeria? The crazies think that just because they call them religions that they are religions. Who's their higher power?

    Sounds like a group insult, but I'm not an expert ...

    If anyone wants a crash course on so-called modern Satanism here is a pretty entertaining interview. Note LaVey is the daughter of the original founder:



    Best part at 6:19

    LaVey: "We don't believe in a Devil."
    O'Reilly: "Well, who is Satan then?"

    Santeria is actually Christian in origin ... its just Catholicism combined with Yoruba ancestor veneration
