They don’t look very aroused…
Is Public speaking with your cock out, and your hips flared a rhetorical tool we’ve lost to time?
God I hope not.
Whatever, edgy devil’s follower
I know, right? Fucking artists from 215 years ago were sooooo edgy. 🙄
I doubt this drawing was done with satanist intentions
Who cares? The subject matter is on-topic. Are you suggesting that people should not discuss any works of art having to do with satan, and thus not consider or discuss the context around those works of art, unless they were pro-satan artists? If so, you have a very restricted idea of philosophical inquiry.
No, I’m saying people shouldn’t praise the literal embodiment of evil
Hail Satan.
It didn’t need to be. Satan is pictured doing something us Satanists revere him for, rebelling against tyranny.
More like opposing God, like when he wanted Adam and Eve to eat the only fruit God explicitly told them not to eat
That’s why you follow Stan
What the fuck are you going on about?
Is that why God gives babies cancer? Because our great^1000 grandparents ate a fruit off of his little tree? Sounds pretty tyrannical to me. They punish grandkids for their grandparents crimes in North Korea, too.
Or maybe it’s just all some bullshit. Stan and Jod are not real bruh. Most of us just like the imagery, and what it represents. The opposite of the hypocrisy and tyranny that is Christianity. Logic, reason, and empathy.
To be fair, there is at least a large chapter on empathy in the Bible that the vast majority of Christians seem to skip over. But most of you seem to want to focus on that first book so much.
You don’t understand the garden of Eden
what inspired you to be so dismissive? did i do something to you?
No, they just don’t like anything that doesn’t subscribe to their particular brand of bullshit.
Fuck that guy.
Fuck that guy.
That was my initial reaction lol, but I am making the pointed effort to be neutral. They probably just don’t understand, they seem to think we actually believe in and worship Satan rather than what he represents. I avoid being aggressive so I have the opportunity to be heard, people really don’t understand Satanism and if I can enlighten them even a bit on what it really means, I’ll try to.
🤘🏽
Like my dad always told me, it’s better to be the difference and not the average even if it means standing by yourself.
I’m here to learn. I don’t understand (or particularly even know) the tenets. I’m happy to listen if you have anything to say.
Oh, I didn’t know you weren’t a Satanist! The Tenets are a basic moral guideline for Satanists but also in general, it’s a very short read if you’d like to quickly learn about them. I think you and even many Christians will find these to be very reasonable and good. Unlike other religions, there is no hard and fast rules that you must obey. Just be a good person!
I just wish people took a singular moment to learn what TST Satanism is before jumping down our throats and imagining us as goat sacrificing cultists or something. Satan represents rejection of authoritarianism and tyranny, seeking out knowledge, and justice. Satanists value rationality and basing your beliefs on proven science, fighting for justice, equality, respect, and compassion. For many, it’s just politically-active Atheism, as we are nontheistic (we do not believe in the supernatural or any deities). I am an atheist, and a Satanist, TST Satanists are atheist or agnostic. It’s often described as “atheism describes what I am not (a believer in a God) and Satanism describes what I am and what I believe and value.”
That was fantastic! Thank you for the brief primer on this. I’ve been on the fence with this for a long time and while I haven’t dedicated myself one way or another; this is more or less what I try to base my day to day on.
It’s funny, you know— how you can be on the cusp of something and not really know it. I’ll read through the tenets when I get a chance. Thank you very much, Internet stranger.
I’m glad you enjoyed the rambles lol. I really appreciate your willingness to learn and try to understand, this is what the world needs more of. As a science loving and rational atheist, this was also always how I lived my life, and didn’t realize I could take it a step further and be not only with like-minded people, but help the fight for things I believe in like secularity, women’s reproductive rights, and so much more. Not only that, but I like the aesthetics of it haha. Thank you for your time
🤘🏽Hail Thyself🤘🏽
No, I believe that you follow Satan because he wants to stray people away from God and make them pursue vain pleasure
You may not worshipping a baphomet statue but you for sure are following Satan
I have no interest in straying people away from God. I am interested in equality, acceptance, and freedom of religion. You have every right to believe whatever you believe in, that’s a value I hold deeply. I haven’t insulted or harassed you about your beliefs, you came to MY post to shit on it because you disagreed. Who’s the bad guy here?
The symbolic Satan I look up to is about rebelling against authoritarianism. That’s how I view him, that’s how most Satanists view him. It’s YOUR personal issue if you get offended because that authoritarian dictator is your own God in your mind. Very telling.
Be respectful and kind like your God told you that you should be.
You’re a blind fool doing exactly what the devil wants you to do. Don’t you see how making humans pursue immediate pleasure and stray away from God like in the garden of Eden might be just what the embodiment of evil wants?
How EXACTLY am I making people pursue immediate pleasure? I said like 10 times that Satanism for me and most Satanists means rebelling against authoritarianism and fighting for secularism, equality, and justice. What part of that means ‘pursuing immediate pleasure’?? I’d really like to know.
I don’t believe in the garden of eden, Eve, or Adam. The symbolism of that to Satanist means denying blind ignorance, attaining free will, and seeking knowledge.
Don’t u see ur an idiot?
Hail Satan.
Dude you live in a fairy land world, we out here in the real one, have fun.
My brother in Christ, you’re using the fediverse equivalent of reddit
Fuck you too and your flawed reasoning
Not to me particularly, but following the devil is quite something against humanity
In what way exactly? The idea of Satan that Satanists use for symbolism is FOR humanity, FOR equal rights. Whatever evil demon you see from your bible is not what we look up to. Please explain to me how our Satan is against humanity.
More like feeding human narcissism against God, which is what the devil would want
