Because the majority of other religions teach Satan to be evil and no one seems to question this.
Also, many sick people have done shameful things in the name of Satan, however this is just a cover up of their own evil, an excuse.
I think you'll find, if researched, Satanism is a much kinder, tamer religion than for example Christianity. I think that you will also find that most things people have labelled to be Satanic, e.g-blood sacrifices, are ideas conjured up by Christians and other religions. In a religion there has to be good and evil-people just needed a deity to label as evil so they took the worlds most worshipped ancient religions, namely Paganism and such like, and labelled it as evil. Sadly, even today Satanists are looked down upon and labelled as evil simply because of ignorance.
Christianity believed Paganism, and any other religion that worshiped other gods, to be Satanism. So to answer your question, no. Jesus was not into witchcraft.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/satanism It should answer all your questions but basically in a nutshell, Satanism is the religion of cults or groups of people willingly giving their soul to the devil (Satan) as an act of worship along with other acts of worship such as sacrifice and witchcraft.
Satan Wants You by Anthony Lyons, or his other works on Satanism. He covers the history of Devil Worshiping, Satanism, and other things related.
Satanism. Actually, Satanism does NOT worship Satan, or any other diety for that matter. Satanism was started in the late '60's by Anton Levay and only focuses around being selfish, countering Christianity's bsais of being selfless.
Your responsibility towards your religion is mainly to:Follow the religion instructions and rulesPractice good morals as all religions call for good moralsRespect other religions and their followers and cooperate with them for the benefit of your community and for the benefit of humanity
Many people do. Some people do not because they see no need for it. Atheists (those who do not believe in a god or gods) do not have a religion, but go on living happy, fulfilling lives just the same. They do not think that you need to believe in a supernatural deity to enjoy a good life. They also know that morals come from society, not from a god, and therefor are responsible to other people in their lives.
Yes. Any belief system which incorporates symbols and ideas to convey a theory of a transcendental reality can be classified as a religion. Though... I wouldn't count it as a particularly good one. Yes, it is the only true religion but the government and other religious groups do not want you to know this so they create fake religions so you do not develop supernatural and occult powers. go to: joyofsatan.com to read up on the religion.
a moral belief is when someone believes something and other people believe it too.
No it's protected like other religions.
There can't be a "most eclectic religion" since the entire process of eclecticism is borrowing freely from other religions and philosophies. Thus being eclectic in your religious views means you can create your own religion using aspects of any and all other religions. You can literally reconcile opposing theories of, for instance, Christianity, Satanism, Islam, Buddhism, Witchcraft, Mormonism, etcetera.
It rarely happens. When it does, it is because they think their religion is better. It is ironic that religious groups that force their religion on others hate it the most when other do the same to them.
Satanism. Many of you will look at this and think "Devil worship, human sacrifice and blasphemy." I know this to be true, but it is now time to awaken you all to the truth. In this short piece on Satanism I will be discussing Spiritual Satanism, rather than LaVeyan Satanism, the difference being that Spiritual Satanists believe in Satan as an actual living being, or a God. LaVeyan Satanists believe in Satan as a metaphor for the individual person, and focuses mainly on self-betterment. Satanism is the original religion. It came before Christianity, Islam and Judaism, and before others. In some Paganism sects, Baphomet is worshipped. Baphomet, the hermaphrodite (having both male and female aspects or qualities) god/dess of fertility, is an old symbol of Satan. Satanism has three main aims: Self-empowerment Freedom Honour Satanism aims to make the individual as great as they can be; to help them realise and reach their full potential. No skin colour, sexuality, gender, nationality or age is prohibited from practicing Satanism. It is the religion without prejudice. Honour is one of the most important parts of Satanism. What are now called Demons, the original creator gods in Satanism, should be honoured and respected. Satanism encourages familial bonds, but acknowledges that it itself is not compatible with other religions. If one wishes to become a Satanist, they must first make sure that they do not feel ties to any other religions. Satanists are not criminals. They are law abiding citizens! They do not advocate murder, rape, torture or any other illegal activity. Sadly, the media of today has portrayed them in a rather evil light. Satan is the Lord of the Earth. For this reason, Satanists will not be found dropping litter or using too much fossil fuel when they do not need to. Satanists respect the natural world around them and admire the inherent beauty it contains. © Sael Jasmua
