Paganism for all of those who obviously don’t know what it means;

[JediMaster12]

Whatever that horse is I have no clue. You could even say I like exploring the conspiracy of the DaVinci Code though more likely it holds little to no water. I like to see the connections but I am more interested in the migration theories. The Wiccan stuff is just gravy.

Show me ANY modern day document that describes Satanism as Devil Worship and was written by a Satanist?

 

As for Satanist, I have this question for you; If I were a Satanist I would be practicing your rituals in a perverted manner.

 

Satanism is NOT devil worship.

 

I hate to pull the link, but some materials inappropriate for a PG-13 site can be found there. If there's another link that meets PG-13 standards, feel free to post it. Thanks, Jae

 

Go here and look for yourself.

 

Have any of you read the Satanic Bible? Not if you think Satanism is devil worship.

 

1. Er...at least according to wikipedia, there are many different religions out there claiming to be Satanism. The one that I am most familar with is the

Church of Satan, as somewhat Atheist sect that cares for the supporting of the Self, or the Ego. Satan doesn't actually exist, except as a symbol and as a metphoarical figure. These Satanists believe that everyone is actually their own God, so worshipping yourself is good, since you are God.

 

Exactly. This is what I was getting too. Every other Satanist who does not follow LaVey gets there crap from stupid offshoots of this real Church of Satan. Again, show me a text coming from a devil worshipping writer the claims devil worshipping to be Satanism?

 

There is none.

 

'A religion can teach anything up to and including mass murder and human sacrifice as long as the member understand that their religious freedom does not contravene civil and criminal law

 

Let me remind you all that in the early texts of the Bible, Human Sacrifice, and animal Sacrifice were common among the people of God and the likes. An offshoot of Christianity (the People’s Temple) in the early 60s (I think) was responsible for the mass murder of hundreds of people (the Kool-aid Incident).

 

Paganism is truly ‘earth-worship’. There are many offshoots of it, and one of them is MAINLY Wicca.

Wicca is the main offshoot of paganism because it is the most common group known. There are other pagans out their who probably do follow the say the old Greecian gods and the like but we don't really hear to much about them. Wicca is used because in a general sense, the belief is the same. There are offshoots of Wiccans that totally disregard the credo of Wicca which is "Do as ye will but ye shall harm no one" and will use their beliefs to harm others. They are referred to as sorcerers. As you can see, any religious group will have its offshoots. It is much like culture and its changes.
