Do you mean the church of satanism? They don't worship Satan, they are actually atheists. Some of the stuff seems a bit pretentious to me but it's not bad stuff.
I've never heard of The church of Satanism. I just read up on it and it seems really cool (in my opinion). I was just talking about the general laws of the devil but I don't have a source for it cause I was just told about them from a friend, so I could easily be misinformed.
Satanists are funny... and every single one I've met have been less obnoxious than the nicest Christian, Catholic, Baptist, Muslim, Buddhist.. etc when it comes towards personal divine beliefs.
I should also add.... I've met maybe a dozen Satanists, but the rest of the list? Thousands.
I like to consider myself a Christian. I don't press my beliefs on other people and I like to know what other religions believe because I'm not an asshole and realize other people have spiritual beliefs that differ from mine. I believe my path is the way to salvation and I know that most other religions believe that as well. I'm not in any position to say that my religion is better than somebody else's because it is what that person believes and I'm not in the mood to go to war with someone over who their "God" or "deity" is. live a peaceful life, don't be a fucking asshole and respect others opinions because it won't change your life if they express it.
I don't believe in anything, I don't label myself anything but I guess most would call be an atheist (I just don't like the stigma and assumptions that come with that title). Totally agree with @robbouche who summed it up very nicely, don't be an asshole, respect other people's beliefs, don't push your own onto others and just live a happy life.
How do you decide how to not be a cunt? It's a cunt move to own a slave, but there are people who think it would be a cunt move to take their slaves away. Create a society where you don't know who you will be. You could be homeless, so this society should take care of them. You don't want to be a slave, so the society shouldn't have slaves. You wouldn't want things to be stolen from you, so you should make the society where stealing is discouraged.
This is a form of the "Veil of Ignorance". Is rape bad? Let's test it. There is a 50/50 chance in this scenario where you are either the rapist or the raped. You don't know which one you'd be. Would you be okay with either case being the one you'd end up as? I wouldn't which is one of the many reasons I call rape an immoral action.
I heard that the Devil is just a fallen angel that God made, and that he brough 1/3 of the angels with him as demons. He is not the owner of anything, least of all Hell. He will be sent to Hell after the final victory, and he knows this, so he's dragging as many humans along with him as possible. Although, I haven't studied the Bible much about the Devil's origins, so take this with a grain of salt.
I believe it that is an idea from Mormanism. That story is funny to me because it could easily be viewed as the angels of heaven seeing the evil and corruption of their leader to be worth rebelling against even when they knew for certain they would lose.
Most of the ideas surrounding Satan comes from sources outside the Bible such as old preists and what not. I don't believe in Satan, but I would very much be interested in what his perspective is like. History is written by the winners and the losers universally are said to be the villian.
Anyways, the Bible has very little to say about Satan. In fact, we see him talking with God as a friend would in Job. Oh, and there is a common mistake where people think the snake in the Garden of Eve was Satan. But the Bible never mentions it and we also see Satan walking around in the exact opposite way this serpent was cursed to never walk again.
Lucifer is an angel that did "fall", but he fell because he argued with the rationale of "God". Basically he said "Hold up, WHAT? FUCK THAT", tried to let Eve, specifically, know (again the whole Lilith part... which is interesting in that Lilith and Lucifer have zero connection) and then was banished. Apparently now they are waging a one-sided war (Lucifer has yet to kill anyone)...
