Guest Random Dude Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 With all these religion threads I got this question. Is Satanism a branch of Christianity? Satanists believe in God, but they worship Satan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 If Satanism is a branch of Christianity I am so going to profess that Christianity is a branch of Judaism. It's a good question that I unfortunately don't know the answer to (I follow the principles of LeVeyan Satanism, but I am not a Satanist). So I'll tell you to check the almighty WIKIPEDIA.

Maghion Syaoran Light Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 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. In order to believe in the Christian Satan, you have to be a Christian. Satanists are not Christians, their beliefs are different. The "Satan" of Satanism is different to the Satan of Christianity. Just like when the Christians say "prophet", they do not mean the Muhammad or Zarathustra, they mean a Christian prophet because the others are not from their own religion. When Satanists say "Satan" they do not mean the Christian Devil. Satanists do not believe that Satan fell from heaven, because that is a Christian belief. There is no heaven to fall from, no God to do battle with, no hell to fall to. These are all ideas made up and used by Christians, and are not shared by Satanism. This can't be repeated enough. Satanism is a different religion to Christianity the same way that Islam, Buddhism and Pantheism are all different to Hinduism. They're not only different a little bit, they're simply completely different to each other. They're not comparable. You can't ask a Hindu "Why do you worship the Devil?" because it's simply inappropriate. When asking Satanists about their religion, start with finding out what they believe. Because firstly and foremost, Satanism is not Christianity or the Christian Bible, not Islam or its Koran and not Hinduism or its pantheon. http://www.dpjs.co.uk/christianity.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death Metal Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Satanism follows 'The Left-Hand Path'. Christianity follows 'The Right-Hand Path'. Also, It depends on what kind of Satanism you are referring to. Some forms of Satanism do not have anything to do with Satan or Christianity.
