As a Christian, Ive always found it interesting how much Anton La Vey's Satanism reflect the values of the early church as a commentary on the corruption associated more commonly with Catholicism as a denomination, which I've always found incredibly based, even if the chosen mythography of satirization makes me a little irked. Still, I wouldn't take it seriously if I didn't believe either side was "real" either

ok but why does the guy in the pic look like a cave man?

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 41 points 1 day ago

Believing in yourself is Satanic?

Wow, religious propaganda is so insidious.

[-] altphoto@lemmy.today 3 points 16 hours ago

I feel satanic. If anything, that's the one thing I would tell others. "Believe in yourself". So WT Fucking F to this poster.

Really great.

[-] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 18 points 1 day ago

Literally, they want compliant, obedient, non-thinking sycophants. It's what the entire religion is based in, right down to Adam and Eve. It's a cult.

Not to be the douche that links a tedtalk, but extremely relevant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS7mBbXxJYA

All religions.

The crazy thing is that the three main religions all derive from the same dumb story of Abraham convincing himself that God wanted him to murder his own son to prove his belief in God.

Luckily some slightly sane part of his mind kept him from doing it, but his delusion convinced him it was God that stayed his hand.

I recently read that up until fairly recently in human history, people didn't understand thinking. They didn't realize it was their own mind coming up with ideas, they literally thought God placed it there. Come up with a good solution to a problem? You didn't think of it, refine it, figure out how to apply it, etc. GOD gave you the idea. They really didn't think they were capable of their own independent thought.

So all three religions worship the exact same God, and believe in the same origin stories, but we still have to genocide all the others because their version of the guy with uncontrolled schizophrenia who tried to murder his son in the name of God, has different nuances than my version.

[-] Zink@programming.dev 5 points 1 day ago

Whoa whoa whoa... Are we talking the guy with uncontrolled schizophrenia who tried to murder his son in the name of God council of 1879 here, or the guy with uncontrolled schizophrenia who tried to murder his son in the name of God council of 1912?

There it is. Like sitting through hate sermons every Sunday isn’t torture enough.

[-] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 14 points 1 day ago

Storytime: The last sermon I sat through was literally a hate sermon.

One of my buddies in grad school talked me into coming to his church for a session one Sunday, and me being mostly agnostic/pagan at the time figured "Ahh, why not? I'm all for you sharing your culture and beliefs with me, I'll hear it out."

Shit. You. Not. 20 minutes into the thing... The preacher was talking down the "evils of pride month" and how if you ever feel "ostracized" on your campus for "standing against" the satanic "influences" of the LGBTQ, you always had a "strong community" to turn to here.

If you're cringing reading this... now just imagine this obviously queer 20s something sitting in the middle of the crowd with this giant rainbow scarf on (it was February) while these aryan karens and nutjobs to my left and right are casually nodding along.

Made a fucking beeline for the door and never spoke to that crazy fucker (or went back to church) ever again lol

[-] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 9 points 1 day ago

Makes me think that the church encouraged people to invite their "heathen gay friends" that week so you would hear the gospel and repent or some nonsense.

[-] diablomnky666@lemmy.wtf 5 points 1 day ago

Nah, the pastor wanted "the gays" at church so he knew which ones he could play tummy sticks with in a motel after service.

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 3 points 1 day ago

And that's why I left the church. Priest kept drumming up hatred for little zero reason

Been getting more involved with a small non-denominational church over the last few months though. The pastor really steps back when to earth when he gets off the little stage, just back to being a normal guy

I love community and hate hate... There's no room for hate within me, I won't let that poison taint me

[-] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 3 points 1 day ago

I’m so, so sorry that happened to you. And I am so glad you didn’t give into the guilt and shame they tried to put on you. Probably saved you a few years of deep fucked up guilt, if not your life. (I’ve lived it, post religious trauma is real and heavy).

That’s their entire model: making emotional hostages through guilt.

I’ve left that behind a good 10 years now and I’m feeling so much happier but boy it’s been a ride. I’m still rediscovering life and myself to this day.

Thanks for sharing. Thanks for standing up and walking out of there, hopefully you ignited something in some of them. As hateful as they are, a lot of them are victims, being held there by fear against their will.

Suffering is not a glitch in the Christian life—it’s part of it. In this conversation, Matt Smethurst and Ligon Duncan talk about how pastors can prepare their people to face pain with faith and endurance. They discuss what it means to view hardship through God’s providence, why the “victorious Christian life” often looks like just hanging on, and how preaching, hymns, and patient shepherding can help believers trust God when he seems silent.

i know so many people who justify their suffering like this.

And if the devil set me free
Long live the devil

Lucifer is the reasonable one in the Bible, God is the one who wipes out millions for amusement.

Did you know that according to the Bible they hang out and talk shit together? God never hangs out with anyone else.

[-] rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 2 points 15 hours ago

A key reason why the church suppressed education for such a long time in what is now referred to as the dark ages.

If intelligent people were able to read the source material then they would learn what utter shite they were being fed.

Fortunately for religious organisations we now live in a society where most people are able to read the source material but choose not to and blindly follow the words spoken to them.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 points 1 day ago

Viewed subjectively, the God described in the Bible is a MONSTER.

When I see all those christian pedo-nazis, if I were to believe in all this BS (which I fucking don't), Hell is for sure where I wanna end up. I don't want to spend eternity raping children and shooting people of color in paradise.

so is their food. if drug use, hedonism and gluttony are sins, who is going to cook for them?

See, you get why some of us Cross lackeys are aiming for the Pit. An Eternity in heaven is getting harder to sell by the day with the company it claims.

Well yes, Thats the propaganda of christianity. Their god doesn’t want you to have independent, critical thought. You’re supposed to do as the authorities tell you, pay your taxes like Jesus TOTALLY said 🙄and be a good citizen and follow the laws. Curious isnt it? Almost as if the texts were altered thousands of times over the years until they fit the views of the people pushing it

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

It is essentially a slave religion where you work for next to nothing your entire life in suffering and then you get imaginary rewards in the afterlife.

It is of course a garbage religion that borrowed all of its stories from religions that came before it. Jesus was a doomsday cultist who believed in resurrection on this Earth hence why his cultists staged his resurrection to prove his teachings were true.

[-] Tempus_Fugit@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Satan is not out here murdering 168 school children. Christians are doing that. Satan is not out here raping and genociding its neighbors. Jews are doing that. Satan is not out here murdering peaceful protestors. Muslims are doing that.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 2 days ago

Satan doesn't kill a single person in the Bible. Yahweh on the other hand...

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 days ago

Satan isn't really much of a presence in the Bible at all. Christians made up more shit to have something to blame for everything they don't like.

[-] Demdaru@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Wasn't it that Satan did 4 things?

A bit of arrogant rant that he is not gonna serve humans. Got thrown to hell. By all loving father. Yeah.
Still pissed, nudged Eve to break the God rule about apple. God had a meltdown and not only banished but also cursed Adam and Eve.
Teased Jesus to break his goal. Didn't work.
Teased God on few occassions about devotion of humans. Then God made people suffer to prove his point.

Like, Lucifer always seemed to me more like disgruntled old family friend/worker than some evil guy.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 days ago

The serpent being Satan was a retcon from the New Testament, too.
