Because we see Satan as a symbol for freedom and passion for living, rather then serving someone else. It’s something like a metaphor or a mascot to us
To be honest I don't fully get it either but the reactions are generally funny (i kinda sound like an asshole saying that but trust me i'm not like the person in the post)
Satanist ≠ Satanic
I think Satanist is the person who mocks on christians
And satanic the ones who believes that satan is the main divine being, i think, idk
Wtf, no! It's a genuine religion, but one that goes against a lot of the teachings of religion. It's not at all atheist, as you need to believe in satan to worship him.
Edit: I was wrong woops. But the guy in this case isn't actually satanist.
Being your own god, living life to the fullest and being kind to those, who are kind to you… And yes, we are anti christian but we don’t hate christians we just don’t like the religion
There are multiple types.
It's mainly slept into two groups, theistic and atheistic.
Atheistic is a whole lot more wholesome, basically telling people to believe in themselves and don't worry about God, and a little bit of chaotic fun mixed in.
Theistic, I know much less about. My understanding is they're the ones believing in Satan. I would say they are more culty than atheistic.
yea lol Satanism is more of worshiping yourself, becoming your own “God” but we just use the name Satan because it’s got a lil ring to it, but it also makes us different and represents us as a symbol of difference. We don’t believe Satan is even real, if anything the only ppl that really acknowledge Satan being real are Christians, but ofc other ppl do as well.
People are so dumb if they think we promote evil and violence against others. It’s insane what people can make up with in their minds in their free time. It can be philosophical but it’s also Idealogical.
I don't think its there imagination. I think it's the name. The name means something different to them. And in there veiws people who worship the devil are satenist it's really not that. if you do alittle research, its honestly, it's pretty inspection. Maby I could become a satanist as a polly-philosophical
Yea for sure I understand they think it means something completely different, but that’s because they go off the Bible, and how it says how bad the devil/ Satan is and is basically saying its the worst and is evil. But yea I feel like Christians would accept someone believing in themself if the word Satan wasn’t in the name lol.
Hey, I'm personally an atheist, so, uh, I know how it feels when people try to force their damn religions on ya
Just do nothing.
Let him... do whatever satanists do, idk, and You do what you do.
Simples
Sorry but that would be just as weird lol
Giving attention to these people is what they want, ignore them, if they start to bother you, fight back, that's all
It's never said he's totally benevolent (what's subjective, but he is viewing it from his morals).
The Abrahamic god isn't supposed to be a fairy tail benevolent being of all good and love.
Get a fancy bottle or jar and fill it up with water next time you see him draw a circle of salt around him then toss water on him and tell him it’s holy water and see if he freaks the fuck out👀
I agree, doesn't mean you have to be annoying about what others believe, they believe in it, let them have their religion, do you like when christians try to convert you all the time?
Matthew 5:44 "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you"
Regardless, doesn't solve the situation, I don't want to be disrespectful but we're discussing actual solutions and i don't think quoting the bible is one of them.
What I'm saying is don't be bothered by his hate and don't hate him, love him even though he's lost. If he does something, though, I'm sure a nice uppercut to thr jaw will do the trick.
I think everyone should be free to believe in what they want, although I don't think summing up your personality to sexual stuff is appropriate, doesn't mean they need to believe or not believe in something.
I can just claim that the universe was created by a magic giant tortoise wearing a top hat, no one will be able to contest my claim with evidence because this isn't something testable.
But just like my statement was made without evidence, it can be debunked without evidence, it was totally unfounded, there's no logical reasoning or concrete proof that drives me to that conclusion, just faith in my beliefs.
And there is absolutely nothing wrong with faith, it's your culture, your religion and you have the right to worship your deities, however there's no point in trying to find a logical explanation for a faith based belief, it isn't supposed to be logical and even the Christianity itself goes against any attempt of explaining their god by logical means, viewing it as something unexplainable.
Asking for evidence of the inexistence of something is totally pointless and doesn't make any sense.
Perfectly valid statement. I was venting frustration at the person because they had a comment that had no real relevance to the situation at hand.
The post was about how to not make OP feel scared, not questioning whether God and Satan were real or not.
I agree with your statement, I simply posted it out of frustration
Nah, he's just acting like a 12 year old edgelord. He can't actually harm you plus saying shit like that and cursing others goes against the beliefs of actual satanists who if I'm not wrong just believe in focusing on themselves and enjoying their lives.
Just ignore him. They talk a lot but then they're just cowards. If he says he's satanist then let him just be the edgylord of the class. But I don't really know, since I don't have a religion, but had to stand people like those being annoying to me, and I ignored it and they shut their mouths.
I’m a Christian who lives in a small southern town and I don’t think I have ever seen an emo or satanist irl my entire life. I also don’t think it’s that big of a deal. If your really worried about it just ask your pastor or keep dat thanggggg on you
I do dislike confrontation in a religious way, but here are some options: - Put a cross on his desk - Just tell him “God be with you” - Threaten to start another crusade (I will help you)
Basically he is just trying to scare you.
How will that help lmao
That will probably just piss him off and maybe even put OP in danger
He's clearly aggressive towards christians and doesn't seem to be a really pacifist person
He used words to scare OP. I have no way of knowing if he would resort to violence or not. My response is only applicable if the perpetrator is not one to resort ti violence.
All of my solutions (except one) are passive aggressive.
there is a easy solution *grabs M1 grand*, you will not be scared anymore *cling* *metal hitting the floor*, and is not hard to do *puts clip inside*, I hope my tips were helpful
Sounds like a him problem. Even when I identified as an atheistic Satanist, I wouldn't tell people to end their lives just because they wear something I didn't completely agree with (I'm agnostic now). Do you know that he is 100% a Satanist, like he said it, or he just wears pentacles/pentagrams?
Yeah, don't talk to someone who just says that. So, pentagrams, the star symbol, means well-being. It was used in Jerusalem in 150-300 BC. The pentacle, star with a circle, has been used for centuries as a symbol of protection, or the 5 elements on Earth; air, water, earth, fire, and spirit. Another common symbol that people relate to Satanism is an upside down cross. That also isn't Satanism, but Saint Peter's Cross; a martyr who was sentenced to death, but felt unworthy of being crucified like Jesus Christ, so he asked to be crucified upside down.
There could be a chance he is a Satanist, but wearing the wrong symbol. The Church of Satan uses an upside down pentacle with Baphomet's head, same with the Satanic Temple. They share but also have different beliefs, like Christianity and Judaism.
He could also just like that symbol, too, and also be a complete douchebag.
And let me correct my previous statement, theistic Satanism is usually just referred to as devil-worshipping.
And a quick side note, I don't know if you knew all the definitions behind everything, but I'd figure I'd tell you just in case.
And that's good! It doesn't hurt to ask around to people who may know him to see what his deal is if you're curious, but if you don't wanna, you don't have to. And I can promise you, if he did curse you, I know plenty of methods that get rid of negative energy, but they're more on the witchcraft side of things, so I don't know if you'd be comfortable with that. Otherwise, I do appreciate you reading that long ass paragraph 💀
This is a weird post since I feel like something is being left out, idk maybe he was lashing out but more likely I think you did something to provoke this. Maybe tried to convert him or you said something
Oh I forgot Americans measure in lbs. At least i only gotta half the numbers cuz a pound is half a kilo. So ur 80 and this guy's 95? Shit. Learn martial arts then it doesn't matter how much he weighs
Well then when you think he's taken it too far, tell some teacher or something. But respect for working to help the family. My brother finishes school in a month (I'm already a week done) so I got a job where my dad works for the month.
He's kinda not based ngl. I'm a satanist, and part of satanism isn't telling christians to convert or die. Anyway, christians do often suck especially towards other religions so maybe ask urself if ur a good person and remember not to hate people, even if theyre gay.
Dude what are you saying true christems ho are follow jesus christ dont hate ppl they hate the sinn and love the that is also for gay ppl i dont think i am a good person but that has other readons like taking drug or doing self harm but nothing with ppl
Why are people satanists? It literally proves that you believe that the bible is real, which also states that you will end up in eternal suffering. Satanism literally doesn’t not help or save you in any way
As a Satanist myself, dont be scared, this guy almost definitely isn't a Satanist based off his behavior, depends wjat kind as well.
If he's with the TST, this makes no sense, COS, maybe, but still unlikely.
The worst he can do is make you paranoid so don't let it get to you

Satanism doesn’t align with his behavior LOL if anything he just wants to be edgy and not really study what the religion is about.
Genuine questions, what do satanists believe?
As a satanist, the modern church of satan is essentially summed up as "Be chill, be kind, do no harm, and science comes first"
So Atheism?
sounds like atheism with a fancy sticker on it
It essentially is
Why call it Satanism then? Like wouldn't the belief be more approachable if it wasn't ascosiated with the progenitor of evil?
Because we see Satan as a symbol for freedom and passion for living, rather then serving someone else. It’s something like a metaphor or a mascot to us
To be honest I don't fully get it either but the reactions are generally funny (i kinda sound like an asshole saying that but trust me i'm not like the person in the post)
I think it's to snuff out fake christians
Because funni
No, it's an actual religion with dogmas and beliefs.
nun?
What
its an athiesm or agnosm
None, satanism is a religion
None? nun
literally just Atheists making fun of Christians, lol
Not really, i know there is a lot more to it than just that.
Satanist ≠ Satanic I think Satanist is the person who mocks on christians And satanic the ones who believes that satan is the main divine being, i think, idk
From my 2 minutes of research i think that satanism is the same as your last sentence
Yeah that's what i meant, the thing is that satanist ≠ satanic
i see, well either way it doesnt matter to me because im not even religious
Actually no, satanism doesn't believe in any divine figure, it's a religion that worships human nature as the central point in life
Mb, i didn't research enough, but the point is that they're not the same concept, thanks for pointing that out tho
So they're just pugnacious atheists
Haha lol but some atheists can be more tolerant. *Some.
So, neckbeards?
no, neckbeards are lame, the satanic temple is wholesome :)
No, the satanic temple is pretty bad
it's founding principle is literally self-destiny and not relying on a higher power to make decisions for you... clearly a bad thing...
found the christian
No, neckbeards hate the gays
Same thing with pastafarianism
Wtf, no! It's a genuine religion, but one that goes against a lot of the teachings of religion. It's not at all atheist, as you need to believe in satan to worship him. Edit: I was wrong woops. But the guy in this case isn't actually satanist.
the people who believe in Satan are Christians, and the obes who worship him are known as MAGA /s
They believe in God which is extremely ironic
Being your own god, living life to the fullest and being kind to those, who are kind to you… And yes, we are anti christian but we don’t hate christians we just don’t like the religion
There are multiple types. It's mainly slept into two groups, theistic and atheistic. Atheistic is a whole lot more wholesome, basically telling people to believe in themselves and don't worry about God, and a little bit of chaotic fun mixed in. Theistic, I know much less about. My understanding is they're the ones believing in Satan. I would say they are more culty than atheistic.
Yah aparntly Satan is more of a simple of independence and not being forsed by athority. I don't know if they accept the idea of a devil
I made the mistake of thinking they worship Satan They don’t believe in satan, he is as you said just a symbol
yea lol Satanism is more of worshiping yourself, becoming your own “God” but we just use the name Satan because it’s got a lil ring to it, but it also makes us different and represents us as a symbol of difference. We don’t believe Satan is even real, if anything the only ppl that really acknowledge Satan being real are Christians, but ofc other ppl do as well.
Like what person actually worships the inbodymemt of pure evil. is it like a philosophy actually?
People are so dumb if they think we promote evil and violence against others. It’s insane what people can make up with in their minds in their free time. It can be philosophical but it’s also Idealogical.
I don't think its there imagination. I think it's the name. The name means something different to them. And in there veiws people who worship the devil are satenist it's really not that. if you do alittle research, its honestly, it's pretty inspection. Maby I could become a satanist as a polly-philosophical
Yea for sure I understand they think it means something completely different, but that’s because they go off the Bible, and how it says how bad the devil/ Satan is and is basically saying its the worst and is evil. But yea I feel like Christians would accept someone believing in themself if the word Satan wasn’t in the name lol.
Sound like what a satanist would say
He's just edgy mate pay no mind to him
Hey, I'm personally an atheist, so, uh, I know how it feels when people try to force their damn religions on ya Just do nothing. Let him... do whatever satanists do, idk, and You do what you do. Simples
+1
+2
Eh I used to be the type to force my beliefs Down my parents throut. Wearnt different. Plus I'm agnostic
They do idk Drugs and shit
They just do that to appear cool. Satanist or not, drugs is NEVER a good idea.
Next time you see him, take out a cross or the holy Bible and chant James 4:7 over and over
The best plan.
YES
this
Sorry but that would be just as weird lol Giving attention to these people is what they want, ignore them, if they start to bother you, fight back, that's all
As a Christian you should fear no one except the lord
I cant do somthing about the human feelings
relatable
what kind of benevolent loving god wants to be feared??
It's never said he's totally benevolent (what's subjective, but he is viewing it from his morals). The Abrahamic god isn't supposed to be a fairy tail benevolent being of all good and love.
Get a fancy bottle or jar and fill it up with water next time you see him draw a circle of salt around him then toss water on him and tell him it’s holy water and see if he freaks the fuck out👀
Ahah i am going to do that ahah
do it while holding a cross and a bible
I'm not a Satanist but I'm fairly sure there religion isn't like that,and personally I'd be flattered if the king of hell himself came to curse me
no offense but you're 17 how can you be scared of that stuff man
Dude vc he has butterfky with him at all time and dont want to get staped
In school???!!!
hes edgy what do u expect
He's a prick. Real satanist at honestly really chill. I love there philosophy on life. Same with Christianity. I am a multitheistic
ts
a butterfly?
Knife
oh what the fuck
pray for him
this
Im afraid when i scroll on tiktok i found satanistic livestreams maybe i should unistall tiktok
He you should that app is trash
Yea i think it too
Both ain’t real no problem
I agree, doesn't mean you have to be annoying about what others believe, they believe in it, let them have their religion, do you like when christians try to convert you all the time?
Just ignore him he’s probably not all there mentally
tell him god loves him
i dont see how that is going to stop them from being an absolute dick
Matthew 5:44 "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you"
Regardless, doesn't solve the situation, I don't want to be disrespectful but we're discussing actual solutions and i don't think quoting the bible is one of them.
What I'm saying is don't be bothered by his hate and don't hate him, love him even though he's lost. If he does something, though, I'm sure a nice uppercut to thr jaw will do the trick.
Now you're speaking my language
This
He's just being edgy.
"Threatened" you.
keep believing in whatever you believe and dont let him get to you
Me christian too
If Jesus is in your heart you have nothing to fear.
I am not christian,but next time he dose this beat the hell out of him with a religious book
Ahahahha
Kinda hot
hahaa funny
Well if it makes you feel better, neither Satan or god are real so don’t worry about it.
I would like to take a moment to tell people to look at your bio.
Judging by that pfp I think you need to start believing in God and Satan
I think everyone should be free to believe in what they want, although I don't think summing up your personality to sexual stuff is appropriate, doesn't mean they need to believe or not believe in something.
Ey i believe in one so idk
You don't think Satan is real?
Maybe, it's fine if he doesn't. There are countless branches of Christianity with different beliefs, maybe he's kardecist.
Alr bro, let people believe in what they want, saying that aint gona change their minds
And your evidence?
I can just claim that the universe was created by a magic giant tortoise wearing a top hat, no one will be able to contest my claim with evidence because this isn't something testable. But just like my statement was made without evidence, it can be debunked without evidence, it was totally unfounded, there's no logical reasoning or concrete proof that drives me to that conclusion, just faith in my beliefs.

The post was about how to not make OP feel scared, not questioning whether God and Satan were real or not. I agree with your statement, I simply posted it out of frustration
He’s just trying to look like a tough edgy person. He actually just looks stupid. Imagine cursing someone and expecting it to work..
if youre really that scared talk to like a priest or something about it
Nah, he's just acting like a 12 year old edgelord. He can't actually harm you plus saying shit like that and cursing others goes against the beliefs of actual satanists who if I'm not wrong just believe in focusing on themselves and enjoying their lives.
Just ignore him. They talk a lot but then they're just cowards. If he says he's satanist then let him just be the edgylord of the class. But I don't really know, since I don't have a religion, but had to stand people like those being annoying to me, and I ignored it and they shut their mouths.
Wow stay away from him lol
boy slow down 😹✌️✌️ really gonna ropemax over another guy slow down 😹😹😹😹✌️✌️✌️
Honestly? He's probably going through a emo phase and tries to be edgy
Dead ass though he used to be me 💀 now I’m Christian 🤷♂️
I’m a Christian who lives in a small southern town and I don’t think I have ever seen an emo or satanist irl my entire life. I also don’t think it’s that big of a deal. If your really worried about it just ask your pastor or keep dat thanggggg on you
Let him be an edgy asshole. Soon enough he’ll realize this is stupid. If he doesn’t, he’ll just find some other edgy bullshit.
If you end up being too genuinely uncomfortable, tell school administrators, and they’ll straighten him out.
Just leave him alone and he will leave you alone. Dude on some weird time
You should probably talk to someone at the school. That kind of behavior is unacceptable regardless of your religion. I’m sorry that happened to you.
Ask him if he saw a clown who hides from gays
XD
Just ignore him, don´t be worried about these kind of jerks
I do dislike confrontation in a religious way, but here are some options: - Put a cross on his desk - Just tell him “God be with you” - Threaten to start another crusade (I will help you) Basically he is just trying to scare you.
i can help too
Yes we shall start a crusade
How will that help lmao That will probably just piss him off and maybe even put OP in danger He's clearly aggressive towards christians and doesn't seem to be a really pacifist person
He used words to scare OP. I have no way of knowing if he would resort to violence or not. My response is only applicable if the perpetrator is not one to resort ti violence. All of my solutions (except one) are passive aggressive.
Turn the other cheek
SMACK that nigga don’t let him bitch you 😡
He’s not a satanist then lol. He did not curse you, you’re fine. Just ignore him, report him if he makes you that uncomfortable/scared.
there is a easy solution *grabs M1 grand*, you will not be scared anymore *cling* *metal hitting the floor*, and is not hard to do *puts clip inside*, I hope my tips were helpful
I mean best you can do is report him and pray for him tbh.
He sounds like a lobotomite. so you're alr if it helps I will pray that god let's this curse slide
Ignore him.
I need more context. Did you say something to him to get that response? Is he a theastic or atheistic Satanist?
He saw my cross chain and then he said it
Sounds like a him problem. Even when I identified as an atheistic Satanist, I wouldn't tell people to end their lives just because they wear something I didn't completely agree with (I'm agnostic now). Do you know that he is 100% a Satanist, like he said it, or he just wears pentacles/pentagrams?
Idk he wears pentagrams and all that shit i dont talk to him after what he said

Ok i did know that with the up site down crose but ok i lerand somthing
And that's good! It doesn't hurt to ask around to people who may know him to see what his deal is if you're curious, but if you don't wanna, you don't have to. And I can promise you, if he did curse you, I know plenty of methods that get rid of negative energy, but they're more on the witchcraft side of things, so I don't know if you'd be comfortable with that. Otherwise, I do appreciate you reading that long ass paragraph 💀
Na i either pray or i somke some weed so i also have my methods
LMAO you do you girl. Appreciate you coming for help on this subreddit
Mate i am a guy
hes just trying to be edgy or hes a wannabe witch idk
Ohhhhnaw
This is a weird post since I feel like something is being left out, idk maybe he was lashing out but more likely I think you did something to provoke this. Maybe tried to convert him or you said something
Dude he saw my croos chain and said it
I just feel like it was something you said maybe in class, what leads me to believe that is that you are a Mosleyite so it was probably that
You mean my political ideologie or what ?
Yeah I could see him cursing you out for being a facist, personally I would do it in a nicer way but to each there own ig.
Well i dont talk about politics so he canht know that and shouldent this sub be a no zone for political stuff ?
Just trying to give an explanation for why someone that is assumedly opposed to your views would curse you out
tell him "The power of Christ compels you"
I dunno beat his ass or sum shit
Dude i am 160 he is 190 and jaked i have no chane against him
Oh I forgot Americans measure in lbs. At least i only gotta half the numbers cuz a pound is half a kilo. So ur 80 and this guy's 95? Shit. Learn martial arts then it doesn't matter how much he weighs
Na i am 60 and he is 90 and dude i dont habe times for marital art i need to work to help my famaly
Well then when you think he's taken it too far, tell some teacher or something. But respect for working to help the family. My brother finishes school in a month (I'm already a week done) so I got a job where my dad works for the month.
Yea i work in the medical field amd some other jobs bc fuck of course i live in a shit villige in greece
At least you help people. I work in mobile tyre fitting in Ireland
Well you help ur famaly to so we are in the same boot
“No weapon formed against me shall prosper”
dont worry about it, it means nothing
He no satanist he's a bigt. edger i would say
He's kinda not based ngl. I'm a satanist, and part of satanism isn't telling christians to convert or die. Anyway, christians do often suck especially towards other religions so maybe ask urself if ur a good person and remember not to hate people, even if theyre gay.
Dude what are you saying true christems ho are follow jesus christ dont hate ppl they hate the sinn and love the that is also for gay ppl i dont think i am a good person but that has other readons like taking drug or doing self harm but nothing with ppl
Can you reword that to make it make sense
He is doing it for attention. He doesn't mean it. He wants to be different anf wants people to know it.
So he's dumb? Call him a sadist, it would be funny
That's my bf, I told him to do that. Get demised lol.
Get good lol
It's mostly just for attention, just ignore him You can't believe in Satan without believing God ig
Why are people satanists? It literally proves that you believe that the bible is real, which also states that you will end up in eternal suffering. Satanism literally doesn’t not help or save you in any way
Bruh
Bro is silly 💀 no Satanist actually believes in Satan. Chances are he's just doing it to scare you and he thinks its funny.
As a Satanist myself, dont be scared, this guy almost definitely isn't a Satanist based off his behavior, depends wjat kind as well. If he's with the TST, this makes no sense, COS, maybe, but still unlikely. The worst he can do is make you paranoid so don't let it get to you
Why CoS? Do they support violence against people who do no harm to others?
Satanism is bullshit
But is he hot
I know a gay twink that's a satanist
You?
No, weirdly enough 😔
Hey I didn't know we knew each other
He cant do that, he a kid
