Do you believe in Satan? (2696 views, 319 replies)
God
If the Bible teaches about the Devil like other books do, then why does religion want us to know hatred? <br> <br> Not all of satanism is evil worshiping, there are some that do no harm and do not sacrifice in any way unlike the books say they do, every something seems to create an extra something, like the invention of most religions were all based from Paganism in the first place, and so forth. <br> <br> I don't believe in satan anymore than the god of his opposites, i am god, so i cannot see any devils or demons, except for the devil that is corporation and the demon government, then yes in that context they are very real:)
@bondojoe www.joyofsatan.org/ <br> <br> Well that is the site and even that is not so good when fully read through, like anything else, and is actually hateful towards false gods as they put it in the title................................som ething i was reading heavily when going through some things, its decent reading but hateful madness in places, maybe thats whats taking over slowly in the world....?
@bondojoe Satanism is a different religion to Christianity. It has almost entirely different beliefs, difference sources and a different history. Its usage of words is different to that of Christianity. Satanism is not the worship of the Christian Satan, because then Satanism would be part of Christianity
@LissaDarkmoon🌘 www.independent.co.uk/life-style... <br> <br> Also found this article which explains from a Satanists point of view
@LissaDarkmoon🌘 LOL! They are worsipping Dr. Le VAYS's description of satan. LeVay was born in 1930. I think people that spoke of satan FIVE THOUSAND YEARS ago have a better handle on it!
@bondojoe And here we go again!! I don't personally know anyone that was around 5000 years ago to ask, sorry. You also did not specify that only 5000 year old points of view and information were only to be used? I found a link from a reputable UK newspaper to share on recent thoughts of Satanism by a self-confessed leader of a Satanic church and thought you might be interested?? Stupid me...….. <br>
@LissaDarkmoon🌘 No Satanism is not related to Christianity, They HATE Christianity. But Satan was first identified in the the old testament, the holy book for Jews.
@bondojoe The actual first mention of "Satan" is in the book of Job. Satan is described as a "heavenly being.". However, since Job itself is an allegory, and does not describe an actual person or historical event, it is open to debate just how much we should read into this description of Satan.
@LissaDarkmoon🌘 It really doesn't matter WHAT he was, if he was...what matters is who BELIEVES in him, and worships him. THEY think he is evil. In the bible he was the angel that God cast out of Heaven.
@bondojoe www.scientificamerican.com/artic... <br> *sighs* Maybe this might be of some use or are all the psychologists and sociologists mentioned in article wrong on everything too??
@LissaDarkmoon🌘 It's an interesting article, but take a look at this quote from it..."The longer we cling to strong beliefs about the existence of pure evil, the more aggressive and antisocial we become." I've seen pure evil in the world. Have you?
@bondojoe I think most people can claim to have seen evil, or experienced something they perceive as evil. For example, a repeat offender paedophile, some would describe him as evil, others would describe him as seriously mentally ill. People think of evil in different ways nowadays and use the word more freely to describe atrocities in this day and age
@bondojoe That's called the Old Testament. Geez louise, have you even read it? It was a book to keep people from killing each other and it CANNOT be translated accurately as the language is largely dead. I happen to know a theologian who is an expert in these matters. People who take it literally are missing the point of why it was written BY MEN, not GOD. If you believe in a God that looks like you, and is human, that's full on scary.

@LissaDarkmoon🌘 I HAVE glanced at it...I'll look at it more closely. My point is this. Is Satanism evil? Does it worship evil? If it does, why does ANYONE celebrate this worship?
@LissaDarkmoon🌘 LOL!! That's what I thought! Satanism is a bunch of BS. It can't even , or WON'T even be defined. Thanks! The next time I see an article on a Satanist, or Satanism, I will have a source!
@LissaDarkmoon🌘 That lead me to the church of Satan site after some reading i found a link, they have some very direct no bullpants rules, from the Eleven rules of earth. <br> <br> If a man annoys you, ask him to stop, if he does not stop, destroy him, had to laugh a bit at that, thats a crazy thing to say, they have the same flaws as anyone else it would seem. <br> <br> 146page version pdf i found after googling LaVey, i'll give that a read at some point, thank you for the information.
@KiaZi There's a lot of laughable points and theories in there but scarily a lot that make sense too. I find a lot of religions are the same but still really interesting to read about :)
guru
think ultimately Satanism, like other religions, has such a wide scope of different belief patterns and takes on what it means to be a Satanist. I don't think you can actually generalise the whole religion into whether it is evil or not evil as, like other religions, people take their own views on how to practice it and what they believe makes them a Satanist?
@LissaDarkmoon🌘 As far as I know there is no society in whch Satan is recognized as a GOOD entity. As far as I know, the first place that the word Satan appears is in the Christian, or Jewish bible, which defines him as evil. BEING evil...those that follow that entity would ALSO be evil. I think it HAS been defined. People may seek to CHANGE that definition, but a cigar is still a cigar.
@bondojoe Actually there is, I've seen videos from them I will try to locate for you. Might take some time.
guru
That is your opinion and you are entitled to it :) I personally think that Satanism is what a person makes of it and how they perceive it. There is a wealth of information out there regarding Satanism from over the years some good, some bad, pretty much the same as any other religion. We can find negative points in all religions, hypocrisy and what we see as being wrong but it's up to individuals to research extensively and draw their own conclusions :)
@LissaDarkmoon🌘 LOL! While I agree that everyone is entitled to an opinion, I do not believe that FACTS are open to interpretation. The FACT is that Satan WAS defined in the old and New Testament. It is the original description. Would you suggest that we take the definition of the word Evil, and turn it into something else, also? Something acceptable?
@LissaDarkmoon🌘 Yes that is true. <br> I personally cannot say what i really am connected to as i have in a way taken a little information from all teachings i have looked into, i just only consentrate on only the good bits though...... <br> <br> I know its sort of off subject but a magic site i used often had bad and good teachings...high/dark magics, but i only looked for the good things that would serve me well like dream recall and similar things. <br> Perhaps not off subject here as some clash magic into satanism as well, they used to also say lucid dreaming and all that was evil, until they saw the rise in people using it and changed their accepted ways, well, the modern people on faith are anyway.
guru
Wow, I knew it was a mistake commenting on this, lol!! Yes, you are right about everything, I am a mere 45 year old idiot that has the wrong opinion and I thank you and bid you goodbye......
guru
You are the sort of person I hate trying to have a debate with, you have barely any time for views you disagree with and a pretty closed mind. And to have that much of an opinion of Satanism when you have only ''glanced'' through the Satanic Bible is quite ironic. I love getting into discussions but not with people that have to keep coming out with LOL everytime they disagree with everything that I say! Don't ask for others thoughts and opinions on things if your mind is already closed!!
@LissaDarkmoon🌘 And resorts to re-purposed words as insults, to boot. It's not a discussion, it's an assault. "Believe what I say is correct or you are (whatever re-purposed word springs to mind that means something derogatory). No thank you. Intelligent people discuss ideas, others, resort to whatever they deem as clever name calling to avoid getting banned.

No question it exists, look at the jooz and how they brag about killing Jesus their Messiah. They eat innocent babies as a sacrifice to take over the world and wanted to kill Jesus as a baby when he was the most innocent and pure for their God Lucifer. They have Christians actually backing their evil if that isn't the most bazaar thing right now.They praise the killing of innocent Palestinians by the evil jooz and they still love them,if Satan has that much power to get people backing the evil religion of the jooz, they killed their son of God and they love them,duh?
God
Everyone is trying to avoid answering my question. Dancing around it. Satan is accepted as Evil. Satanism is the worshipping of evil. Why are people worshipping evil, and why are others accepting it as a good thing...related to the earlier article about a statue, in opposition to christiaanity. " LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — The Satanic Temple unveiled its statue Thursday of a goat-headed, winged creature called Baphomet during a First Amendment rally at the Arkansas State Capitol to protest a Ten Commandments monument already on the Capitol grounds.
@bondojoe This is according to the church of satin "As Anton LaVey explained in his classic work The Satanic Bible, Man—using his brain—invented all the Gods, doing so because many of our species cannot accept or control their personal egos, feeling compelled to conjure up one or a multiplicity of characters who can act without hindrance or guilt upon whims and desires. All Gods are thus externalized forms, magnified projections of the true nature of their creators, personifying aspects of the universe or personal temperaments which many of their followers find to be troubling. Worshipping any God is thus worshipping by proxy those who invented that God. Since the Satanist understands that all Gods are fiction, instead of bending a knee in worship to—or seeking friendship or unity with—such mythical entities, he places himself at the center of his own subjective universe as his own highest value."
@sunshinedaydreams So. The ultimate narcissist ! But when people worship Satan they view Him/It as the opposite of the Chtristian God...agreed? That's why they show up at Christian Churches with their statues.
@LissaDarkmoon🌘 Well, that's kind of what I was getting at. These people are obviously either insane or evil. Either one will do.
@bondojoe I have to read the article and then go to that specific groups page and try to figure out what their intention was. It's a little controversial for sure. I'll let ya know what I think after I investigate it.
@bondojoe I think people just don't know how to answer, it's kind-of subjective. Each person has their own belief on what evil is. Some think it's evil to kill and eat animals. Is that satanic? NO, but it could be,I think intention is what makes Evil. Is it that deity called Satan that causes people to do bad things. I don't think so. I also believe there is a duality in everyone. Kinda like the "we are all sinners" thing. We all have good and bad within each of us on some level. Or am I just talking out of my ass IDK. But I will try to find that satanic group that is positive. There are a lot of Satanic groups so It will take some time to find possibly.
@sunshinedaydreams Well said, I was trying to say similar but extremely badly early on but obviously didn't word it so eloquently :)
@LissaDarkmoon🌘 Ty, I don't know if I answered the question, but it's the only way I know how to answer it.

Satan, Princes of hell, jinn, demons, all come from your "gods" that you believe in,and do you believe in any of the fairy tales that contain that character. So if you believe any judeo-x-tian based bullsh*t religions, you of course believe there's a Satan.. 
... but.. ..but your 'god' is so powerful,but seemingly just not quite enough. 
You should ask Priests' victims if they believe in satan too. Bet they would agree.
God
I'm not talking about God. I'm talking about Satan, and those that believe in him. Apparaently a lot of people do, as statues,and temples are being built in HIS name. As there are stories suporting HIM. And since Satan is described as EVIL everywhere, including dictionaries, encyclopedias, and every site on the internet, it makes me curious WHO SUPPORTS SATAN? It's a question that people that love peace, and hate violence SHOULD be asking. WHO loves EVIL? Whether he is real or not, the concept that he represents is as real as life itself. A you said, a Priests victim probably would believe in Satan. They would not think it is a joke. By the way...all of your derision, and laughing faces make you look foolish. But your comment already did that.
@bondojoe I look foolish, but I'm the adult in this convo(and others thankfully) who no longer require imaginary friends. The emojis were there to ensure the level of sarcasm needed was reached. Humans created gods, and all the opposing characters that go with it. I understand where you're coming from in a general sense. I, too, was indoctrinated as a child, but I was lucky enough to break free of 'trained' thought, ask questions, and demand solid answers. A lot of people aren't so lucky and can't think for themselves, so they have that religion. So I am not the foolish one and you are the less fortunate, well indoctrinated one. Nice to meet you over and over again. Humans are humans. From wonderful to disgusting. <br> P.S. If you want religious rights despite people who don't believe your religion is 'good' then you have to let others have theirs despite you and other disagreeing with it's principles.
@WhiteTrashPanda No problem! You of course have the right to believe , or disbelieve anything you like! We either will , or won't discover the truth, when we die.

In my religion there is no Satan, only God. The more good you do in life the closer to God you become. If you're wicked you move away from God. After death you are both rewarded for your good deeds and punished for your wicked deeds after which you are reincarnated to try again. The cycle will end when you become one with God.

I won't avoid it.In the first place,"Satan" is a very ancient character in Jewish theology."Moloch"is that name._-which is where Christianity got it.The reason people support evil,and Satan,is that evil is STRONGER than good.--much more powerful--evil has great rewards.People now support evil cause it is also EASIER.--It is the path of least resistance.Evil can also appear more attractive. <br> <br> In "Broadcast News",the movie, a reporter says to the female who is attracted to a handsome sexy (but not a newsman)William Hurt,a dazzling new announcer,"Don't you look at (Hurt)and realize he's the evil of the new Media?Like Satan,cuz Satan is guileful,charming,convincing?But he'll lower our quality of news,like Satan,just a little at a time,(as stupid entertainment)?Yeah,that's what Satan would do;seduce us,but lower our good quality,and then a little more..."And it was an excellent description of Satan and Evil.--Temptation to give into what is easier. <br> <br> Satan and Evil are almost literally real,physically.--You can see it manifested everywhere on the planet.If Mankind is WEAK,Satan wins.--So the worst thing Man can do,is be weak,is fall victim to his weaknesses and give into Satan and Evil. <br> <br> It's incredible that every thing in the world is NOT EVIL,and not owned by Satan!You have to realize being honest and good is hard--because our lives are so tough, unfair,and full of pain.Human life itself is mostly miserable for most humans on earth.MOST HUMANS struggle--only a few escape hardship,are born into advantage.--All the rest of us live in pain or frustration, and die not able to find the purpose of our lives.- <br> <br> -It's called "The Human Condition",that it is DIFFICULT to find the good in life,and believe that there IS A GOD.WHY would there be a God,who's supposed to be good,when Satan and Evil are STRONGER?EASIER?MORE REWARDING?EVERYWHERE? WINNING EVERY DAY?Who could SEE A GOD,when Evil and Satan can prove themselves?the nature of Homo Sapien's world,is that we are basically flawed,mostly animal,living in a tough,horrible,bloody,mad world,and anything that is good and positive is likely to get cut down.--because its not as strong. <br> <br> My friend who used to be a "BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN"and I talked about it,cause the teachings of <br> Christianity,say that Satan is not in Hell,he is here on Earth.So we discussed,Is Satan winning after all?Is Evil winning the world?and people?We decided that due to the evidence in the world now,Global Warming,war,violence,slavery appearing again,(even in the USA)all bad weather,corruption,degeneration,over-pop ulation,fire and horrible hot weather in countries,and the USA,so bad,and Man's deciding not to stop his activities causing it, that Satan has won the earth after all.Evil has won. <br> <br> Man is killing his own planet.--And he is refusing to stop. <br> <br> The Talmud says"Man has evil inclinations"--Yes,Satan and Evil have won.

@udahntiudahndo I agree. Some people refuse to take responsibility for their own actions and blame "satan" for it. It's ludicrous.

@PureVodka🍺 That's that Liberal "Tolerance" that they are so proud of. You can't say a thing, unless they approve of it. They've taken out their long knives.
@bondojoe Liberal seems to be a catch-all, re-purposed word used for everything you dislike. It's silly and not even worth acknowledging or attempting to have a reasonable conversation with. Everything is turned into the "agree with me or you're wrong and you're liberal diatribe". Silly silly silly. It'd be laughable if it wasn't so bone-chillingly frightening.

Wow a thread aboit the existance of satan, or the physical manifesting of evil created by an intelligent being. And i see arguements about nothing, the devil really is in the details. Satanistic bibles and satanistic groups are bs just like so called god centered groups and teachings are bs. The nature of reality is out of our grasp, we sense the edges of other dimensions or the effects of them, i think anyway. Even if god threw satan, or apollo, out of heaven along with one third of the angels, why? Does it matter , as humans we would still create a satan, because humans like satan of the bible are vain smarter than god. If satan aint real he might as well be, who else can we blame for our arrogance? You know when preachers say"we humans are wretches not worthy of salvation" , sounds like what satan would say to god , the devil is in the details

@bondojoe Why so aggressive? Why the cloistered angry remarks? <br> <br> It doesn't open dialog. Or are you only promoting agreement? <br> <br> Either way. Good luck. <br> <br> The impartial truth is never obtained from agreement from those with obvious bias from the presented viewpoint, or from endorsing those they only agree with. <br> <br> Best of luck.

@bondojoe Then go to venues In tbe US catering to politics. Not film a site's. Or is that too complex for you?
@ This ia film site with a forum for anything. Even the news site has a political section. If Dr. Evil agrees with you, I will go. Do you speak for him? He PUT the sections here..for all..not only for those that agree with each other. Dissension is not allowed? That sounds like censorship! Perhaps YOU should go!
@bondojoe What are you on about? Doc has nothing to do with your bias. You rally those around you with sole objective is unadulterated bias and mis information from a person living in one state in one country going nowhere but their couch and the general store. That's scary!

Hasn't really felt that way mate to be honest. I came on this thread, as I did on the 'Are You Mentally Ill" you started thinking' This looks like an interesting thread" and on both occasions have found you quite rude about others opinions? I find it hard to chat on here at the best of times. I do NOT mind my opinion being disagreed with but it doesn't have to be made into a joke against me and then others to join in with? I thought your idea for this thread was a good one and would be quite interested to see the news story you mentioned that influenced this subject. Despite what you think, I hate confrontation but i'm not going to sit back and be accused of certain political viewpoints and have the piss taken out of me for no good reason?
God
If you will go back to the beginning of the thread...You made a comment...I gave you a thumbs up, and then posted a joke to you about two pcychiatrists. That's all. Maybe you thought it was an attack. It was not. I just thought you might be amused by tye joke. SINCE that time, I have been under attack by almost everyone here...which is OK..they have that right. But it's not displaying much intelligence. I was asking about Satan...and I believe he showed up in multiple people!
@bondojoe Go away. Your an instigator with nothing better to do. Go watch a movie and chill out.

I think that's a bit over the top, people on here are EVIL because they don't like your attitude on here? And yes, the psychiatrists joke would have been funny if you hadn't followed it with a piss take just because I dared to mention that the test wasn't a diagnostic tool and more of a fun thing than anything else? You mentioned about looking for a 'real' test? I didn't go off on one as you keep trying to tell everyone, I made one comment and left the discussion (probably should have done that here too) If you can honestly read through all of this and not see any antagonistic comments to others or piss-taking then I really do not know what else to say as this all feels so pointless. And I blocked you temporarily because I thought it would 1) Stop notifications of any other posts from this thread 2) It would stop me retaliating and 3) Stop further conflicts NOT because I was going off on one.

@Sapdcre This is a forum thread. There are lots of forum threads on this site. This is NOT just a movie site, and the owner will tell you as much. You chose to click on this thread. Nobody forced you. Go watch movies if that is what you like, ignore the forum posts that don't appeal to you. Kinda simple.
@sunshinedaydreams thread started about satan, proceeded to become political,
<br> tries to tell me off
<br> 
@sunshinedaydreams YES it is a movie site. <br> If you want more, go find it. <br> There are PLENTY and you're welcome to them. <br> PLUS, people who bully those on movie sites are too chicken sh*t to go where they will be out numbered. Go on. Go there. You're very welcome.
@ WTF girl stop telling me to go somewhere. I have done NOTHING to you, or said anything EVER disrespectful to you. What the hell?
@sunshinedaydreams It's a suggestion. This is a film site on the majority. I am finding this hatemongering and name calling out of order. For instance, because I don't give my personal preferences here politically or religiously I've been labeled as a "libertard" (a re-purposed word combining Liberal + Retard). That is offensive on many levels. Forgive me if it seems I "told" you to go anywhere. It was not my intention. I did write "if" not "go". It's your choice and I wish you well. :)
@ scroll up 3 comments you attacked me, and you said the same thing to me like 2 other times, really vicious and I've never done anything or said anything disrespectful to you ever. Maybe you accidentally hit a reply to me and meant to do it to someone else??????? I was completely thrown off by it.
@sunshinedaydreams I apologise for offending you. However, the ** were my own. Also, I am defending the right to have a site be more chill and less about Bondojoe needing a platform to reform the masses to his liking. <br> <br> My apologies to you. <br> <br> I will not refer to you in the future and wish you all the best. Sincerely.
@sunshinedaydreams It Is a movie site. You are mis informed and chose to revel in it. Why else would its primary focus being streaming movies and series? The news (haha) is a completely side issue.
@ Ok i don't know why your attacking me so I will let it slide this one time. I will assume that you are heated because of your fight, and are taking it out on me. That said, of course this is a movie site. It is also a a social media site. With forums with multiple topics of which any one is FREE to write in and about. Dr.EVil has explicitly told you this is more than just a movie site. In other words it's a movie social media site. Maybe you didn't see that comment yet. I believe it was you that said you don't want others being mean, you asked others not to say hurtful things and now here you are doing the same. This site is ripe with Hypocrisy.
@sunshinedaydreams I said nothing "mean". Bondojoe has attacked me numerous times on other threads. I am addressing his need to bully and coerce others when he doesn't get the agreement he desires. That is not a conversation. I'll let this one go as well. I'm done here, and I am NOT angry. I am standing up for the right to have an opinion that differs from what is being forced on others here. He doesn't even live in Europe, I do. And not just in London. I've lived in 48 countries and travel extensively. There is some truth to what he says, but it is not as he conveys it. Not in the slightest and he is hate-mongering. That is wrong, full stop.
@LissaDarkmoon🌘 Americans are DAFT. They point fingers, start wars since 1776 and preach speech and equal rights, yet they are ALL immigrants. POT-KETTLE-BLACK. Good luck, colonies. WE can't wait.
@ Please don't generalize like that. ALL Americans are not daft. There are plenty that are but not ALL.
@rickgrimesrocks You speak truth. I recant my statement. <br> <br> Many are though. Especially those who have never lived abroad and act like experts about Europe based on 3rd hand biased "information". I apogise to you.
@ I appreciate the apology. I know next to nothing about Europe but would certainly love to visit someday if my financial situation will allow. Have a lovely day.
@rickgrimesrocks You do the same. <br> <br> If more people that only read about Europe would realise it's mostly a very small portion of exaggerated for ratings then things would be grand. <br> <br> Love and peace to you, my friend. Have a good one. :) <br>
@rickgrimesrocks I highly recommend Spain, I lived there, and it is utterly magnificent in every aspect. I never ever wanted to leave. The people are kind, warm, treat you like family when your not, it's beautiful architecture (gaudi) it's amazing.

Without reading the stuff above, which I assume is mostly or all crap that is not related to the question, my answer is - I can't believe in Satan because I don't believe in God. There certainly is no proof because the Bible isn't proof.
@schuyl The reality of death is a very scary thing and too much for most people to even contemplate. It's much easier to concoct some form of spiritual fantasy that will put your mind at ease.
@LesStrater wow, very true!!its hard on me,planning my --ulp--own funeral,& cremation before i die.(I don't want my sister to have to do it--she did our parents)--but now I don't mind.whereever there is thought,creation,being,I'll try to be there--that's my ambition,what or who ever it is.THINKING is what I value most, not the body.I'm curious if I could see the Universe?what it looks like?Or be PART OF ALL,unlike we're all so separate,alone,now."Evolution of thought".well, just an idea. :)
@schuyl Well,the Old Testament is the record of the Jews,and also holds teachings inside it.--two in one.This doesnt'"prove"there is God.Some of us say <br> <br> "Let's observe HUMANS,IN THEIR SEARCH FOR ADVANCED THOUGHT--WE MIGHT understand a Creator!!--whatever it/she/he is.that's more rewarding to us all!! :) howzat??hee hee
master
please "time-out--" could we stop fighting, go get a beer,coffee,tea?raid the fridge?go watch the telly--Cool Off. <br> This is a human problem,ask yerself"Is the Fight worth the heart attack or stroke you;ll get??"--if you don't cool off?IS IT WORTH A STROKE?NO. ITS NOT.CO-O-O-L-O--L-O-Ff!! TELL US A JOKE!!

Satan is a boogeyman from Christian mythology. Created by people who needed someone to blame for their own Evil actions.

@PureVodka🍺 @PureVodka🍺 I was born into The Church of Scotland, left that behind aged 23 becoming an Agnostic. But yes, for the last few years now I've been swaying more & more towards Atheism.

Group psychosis is what you get when everyone agrees with you. Like the media. It's not logical to dissmiss things that you know nothing about. Things you haven't explored.
@Icemankfc It's sad. I read an article in Yahoo this mornimg about the First Lady taking a trip to Africa. Someone wished her a safe, and happy trip, and got voted down, 2 to 1. We know who , and what these people are. Morals are not available to the left.
@bondojoe If (here's what I tell myself) if the left really knew the truth and/or really understood what the end goal of socialism or socialist changes meant then would they still feel the same way? People still say religion has killed so many people but its as if the same people ignored the numbers of people who died under the rule of communism. Socialism is communism.. try explaining that to the younger 'open minded' generation! It's impossible.

Troll voting and hater test.

<br> Do you think cats or nice?
<br> Do you like bread?
<br> Is the answer to this correct: 666 x 999 = 433,566
<br> Is the answer (to the above) in a reflection? Thumb down if not.
<br> Are you smart?

<br> I hope all of you or enjoying your day.

@bondojoe It's not logical to assume that someone you don't know has had no prior experience with religious groups, good or evil. But your definition of group psychosis is correct, ie all believers within each & every religion agree that their Gods or Devils are real & that they themselves are not, in actual fact, indoctrinated, dilutional victims of group psychosis. That said, no one knows for sure so it's entirely possible that, as an atheist, I might be in the group suffering from group psychosis

For something that doesn't exist the concept sure has prompted a sh*t load of responses... 
You don't imagine that our minds just work overtime, do you?
@gallanted I don't KNOW what is real anymore... all I know is that I can't rule anything out. But our iimaginations are certainly working!

What difference does it make who worships who? I would rather break bread with a "Satanist" who is kind, loving, friendly to all people then break bread with a "Christian" who is mean, always spewing hate, insulting others, and does not walk in the image of God at all. It's how you treat others at the end of the day and if you treat people poorly, then you are feeding the evil within which we all have. It does not matter which structure we chose to attend to our beliefs or who we pray to when we kneel. Be it Satanism or Christianity (or any other belief) who worships "Satan"? is the person feeding the evil within. 
Remember not to feed evil within or without 
and also do as you please.
@Icemankfc I was never trying to say what Christianity teaches. Sorry you misunderstood. I was raised Roman Catholic and studied World religions abroad. If you ever want to properly discuss the Bible or any religious teachings, I am here.

Do you believe in Evil, as an Entity? Satanism is a real religion. Is Satanism Evil? Why are people worshipping Evil? Why are other people approving of it?
@bondojoe You talking about lefties? <br> i.e. [SPOILER] People.
@PureVodka🍺 Well I wasn't but if the shoe fits...! Speaking of lefties, Willial390 and I were talking about the definition of SATAN, and she got mad because I told her FACTS are not open to interpretation, and she blocked me! LOL! If it wasn't for crazies, this site would be empty!
@bondojoe
Best laugh today so for. 
@bondojoe thats a deserved upvote 👍👍👍 from me lol
@bondojoe You can tell fron a handful of comments that I am a leftie?? Bully for you mate, great observational skills you have there. I blocked you because of the reasons I gave below-religion is a bad subject to discuss at the best of times as it always ends up in disagreements or just plain old disrespect. You can be a real nasty piece of work and that is also another reason why I blocked you. You weren't looking for a discussion with me, just a way to act superior and, as I mentioned before, closed minded! I didn't get 'mad' about 'facts not being open to interpretation', I got fed-up of trying to have a convo which looked like it could be interesting, with someone that was just out to belittle-rather like other idiots on here! Get to know a person before you decide if they are left or right sodding wing as I consider myself neither, I have NO interests in politics etc at all! Now could you please stop making me the butt of your jokes for other muppets to have a laugh at and I will promise never to join in on any of your threads again, thanks
@LissaDarkmoon🌘 So I take it you don't want to answer my question?
@LissaDarkmoon🌘 See you unfriended me.
@PureVodka🍺 Being a friemd of mine can be dangerous to your social standing! I don't know what set her off. I asked her a question, she answered, then I told her an old joke about two psychiatrists, and she went off!
@bondojoe And my choice of friend on here has nothing to do with connections to you, I can friend/unfriend who I choose. It's really sad that you cannot take any responsibility for your own words and actions and that you have to ridicule anyone that doesn't agree with you and continue to do so even when the other person has given up! Why don't you grow up, stop making assumptions about my beliefs and character and stick to your thread rather than having a 'Take the Piss' thread? And your so called joke about psychiatrists came across as also belittling and taking the piss which is the reason I did not appreciate it. I did not 'Go off' at it, check the sodding thread!! I am so tired of coming on this site and seeing idiots ridiculing each other if they don't agree with one another and turning it into a personal free for all to join in and make people feel they cannot use the forums for fear of being ridiculed!! Why can't you just leave me be, quit with the snide digs and continue on your merry way?
@LissaDarkmoon🌘 I wasn't talking to you! Have a nice day.
@bondojoe About me, to me, whatever!
@PureVodka🍺 Yes I did, I don't like idiots that jump into discussions and take the piss which you seem to enjoy doing
@LissaDarkmoon🌘 You sure " that insult " of a comment is meant for me? <br> <br> "I don't like idiots that jump into discussion" <br> <br> F*cking rudeness, get your facts right.
@PureVodka🍺 Well, I didn't want to swear unnecessarily on here but yeah, that'll do too.
@LissaDarkmoon🌘 As they say... "Never engage in a battle of wits with unarmed men"
@DemandingFemale True, I've learnt my lesson on this one-will stick to the word games in future, lol ;)
@LissaDarkmoon🌘 He's not interested actual experience, only in blind agreement and genocide.
@bondojoe HAH HAH people are basically crazy <br>
@bondojoe Then leave and find a site that you can yammer on and on about hatred of other cultures and genocide. THIS IS A FILM SITE .... FULL STOP. STOP TAKE YOUR HATE MONGERING ELSEWHERE. I COME HERE BECAUSE I HAVE ENOUGH OF THE REAL WORLD IN MY OWN REAL WORLD. THANKS, BUT NO THANKS. GOOD LUCK!
@bondojoe
@PureVodka🍺 I guess you have a V for Vendetta against lefties, huh? With all due respect, both you and Bondojoe bash lefties all the time. Yet if the lefties did that to you, you would say they are attacking you and it's typical leftie behavior. I just don't know when this site turned into two groups of lefties and righties. Why does it need to be that way?
@rickgrimesrocks It doesn't HAVE to be that way. I will stop pointing out the truth, as soon as Liberals stop posting hate about our President, that is trying to defend our country. Sound fair? You can find those posts all over the news site. YOU know who's posting them.
@bondojoe I do not know who's posting them. I don't read the news site hardly at all. Can you all keep your hatred, leftist rightist crap to the news section? All this has really put me off even reading the forums anymore bc this is all it turns into. It was never this way before and I find it sad that it has turned into this.
@rickgrimesrocks You can read all of the forums and you will hardley find me here. I asked a simple question. That's what the forums are for. I wantedd to know why decent people aren't standing up against eviil. No one made you read this.... or anything. I didn't turn this or anything else into hatred.
@rickgrimesrocks If you were to go in to the news stories you will see where i and others have had loads of crap in comments. I did not ask these idiots and the racist shouting morons to post slander at me or others). <br> <br> Vendetta?
@PureVodka🍺 V for Vendetta bc of your picture and the movie it is from. I rarely read the news section so I haven't seen anyone give you loads of crap. I will ask you the same as I asked Bondojoe above. Can you guys keep that crap to the news section and not continue it over here to the forum. It has never been this way before. It's sad that a few new members can change this site into what it has now become which is a political stand off that I for one am tired of. If you feel the need to keep bringing it into the forum section then I'll just stay out of the forums, no problem. But I can't believe I'm the only one tired of reading all the hatred spewed at each other. Cheers and have a lovely day.
@rickgrimesrocks Yes i know my Avatar comes from the (very good) film V for Vendetta. <br> I do feel i will be bangging my head in the wall if i reply in detail to your post. <br> <br> Just will say this; i'm looking forward to reading your post towards the next rude " racist shouting " idiot that is directed at me and others. <br> <br>
@rickgrimesrocks BUT in the USA today,the liberal extremeists attack the president,attack the Ammendments,& even attack voters' decisions.People stop talking or doing polls,cause Liberals attack them so much.--so most people have clammed up.They won't talk,the majority,cause they get attacked.Talk about"attacks". :/
@clarachan1355 You all have proved my point for me. I don't even need to say anything else. I'm done.
@rickgrimesrocks I'll tell you how, because of postings showing any corruption of liberals, caused attacks by them to those posting. So they were defending themselves. It was repeated and brutal. That's how. They started it, by not knowing how to have civil discourse. By name calling and being totally inappropriate. And so now they are fed up! I think everyone needs to take a deep breath! Woo saaaaaa! LOL
@bondojoe ---answered you for WHY, BELOW.
@bondojoe If you're asking seriously, there's no such thing as the devil. The story of the serpent in the Garden of Eden isn't interpreted by all Christian theologians as being the devil. The existence of the devil isn't directly implied until Revelation 12:9 (the story of the fallen angel) in the New Testament. In the original version of the Old Testament, the story of the "fallen angel" was actually a story about a fallen Babylonian King named Nebuchadnezzar. The Church made the conscious decision to change the story of the fallen king to a story about a fallen angel in order to create a threat to hold over the populous - to keep better control of man. <br> <br> The word "satan" is seen often throughout the bible, but it's a Hebrew word that means "adversary" or "foe." The word "devil" actually comes from the Greek "diabolos." The name Lucifer is in fact another name for Venus, and it was given to the so-called fallen angel in the King James version of the bible, and this was due to a misinterpretation of the Hebrew words "helel shachar" which means something along the lines of "morning star." <br> <br> There's no such thing as hell either. ...

@Zim I have to ask. You think that the 'order" that exists just happened, and that continuing order is another happpy accident, when the universe tends TOWARDS DISORDER? The second law of thermodynamics? Entropy?
@bondojoe No, the order that exists didn't "just happen," if you're referring to religion and how and why the world is the way it is today. That's just history. Judaism, Christianity and Islam are called the Abrahamic religions because they originated from the ancient figure, Abraham, who is first mentioned in the ancient Egyptian religion. Judaism came from the ancient Egyptian religion, and both Christianity and Islam were born from Judaism at later times. Christianity is pieced together by various other myths and religions around the world. For example, there are over 100 different myths and ancient religions that had a flood story. The same exact story as Noah in Genesis. The first flood story came from, I believe, the Mesopotamians, thousands of years before Christianity even existed. Yes, everything is the way it is for a reason; this is the world our ancient ancestors created, and now thanks to various forms of science, we're figuring out what reality really is. ...

@Zim No...I have no problem with any of that. I was too superficial in my question. As energy cannot be destroyed, and has always existd...do you think that the ORGANIZATION of that energy is an acccident, or requires intelligent direction?
@bondojoe You could say it requires intelligence, that intelligence being our consciousness. All of us, collectively. Not a god or higher power.
@Zim LOL! That's a good answerf...but then I extrapolate that into our conimued understanding, and progress, and think that as SOME point we will become as Gods. If that happens, [and I can't think of any reasom that it wouldn't] then by definition...'God", not being under any time constraints will akways have existed. And by definition, will be a superior being!
@bondojoe Technically, you COULD be a god, since the idea of gods are a manmade construct. The academic definition for a god is "an entity that directly interacts with mankind." This is referring to figures like I mentioned earlier; Zeus, Odin, etc. According to the myths and legends, they fought alongside man, drank with them, even fornicated with human women. Of course, we don't have those type of entities, and if anyone ever claimed Jesus came and had a beer with them, we'd either assume the person is lying, or we'd have them committed, lol. <br> <br> There are other theories, however, not exactly based in science, but I would say are somewhat relevant and worth consideration. That's if you consider things like dimensions, which mankind has known of for centuries, but science has just started acknowledging within the last hundred years or so. ...

@Zim Doesn't sound crazy to me. Crazy to me is the fact that we're here at all...or at least we BELIEVE we are here.
@bondojoe or at least we BELIEVE we are here* <br> Everyone is everywhere here lol.
@PureVodka🍺 It's really absurd that we exist at all. That's why I believe in a creator. A happy accident is insane! A happy accident that keeps on happening. It's like flipping a quarter, and getting heads..EVERY TIME!!
@bondojoe That's excellent though! You're smarter than the average cookie, if you're even able to put old beliefs aside and contemplate these things rationally. I enjoy conversations like these; thank you. For a minute, I almost thought you might be trolling, lol. But no, this has been a good conversation. That's rare for the Internet. Let's both mark it on our calendars. :P <br> <br> But yes, I guess it IS crazy that we're even here. Lol, or is it? If biocentrism is true, then everything else in existence is here because of us. ;)
