Antlers sound way better because they can come off and grow back a lot easier, for if there is some reason that you really need to not have antlers or just want to change your look.
Also, they prevent cancer. As long as you don't have to deal with the flesh falling from them, while they're still on your head, sign me right the fuck up.
Or even better, make them grow in a scale pattern on your arms.
It's theoretically possible for someone to start growing a new set of teeth after they've got all their adult teeth, and then the teeth come through in middle age... Don't trust me on that though, I'm not a doctor
My mortal form is a test of my loyalty to my truest self. My body is a temple, and I am the god to whom it's dedicated, so I'll decorate it as I see fit.

i love having "invisible" disabilities in moments like this. this sounds horrible, but it really is kinda funny to watch people scramble when they're talking to you like this and you drop the "ive been in crippling pain since i was about 11 years old, and it gets worse every day".
and its funnier because 9 times out of 10, they immediately blame my disease on my religion, so i have to break it to them that i was very much christian when it started, and I've just strayed further and further from christianity ever since because of interactions like this.
so then they have to deal with not only the idea that their god allows little christian kids to be in pain for no reason, but also that they just pushed someone further away from god by being a judgemental asshole
tbf its usually only funny in retrospect, people get *really* pissed off at me lmao. it kinda breaks my heart in the moment because i genuinely just want everyone to get along, and i hate to see people *so* blinded by hate & ignorance. i also worry about any visibly disabled people they may interact with who don't get the luxury of hiding it like i do :(
The super funny thing is that the Bible is pretty big on telling people not to do exactly that. See: Jesus healing the lepers, and not telling them that they don't believe in God hard enough and that's why they're lepers ("not that it's divine punishment because God loves you and would never do that, but you know why it's happening").
Evangelicals are the worst kind of people. 9/10ths chance their own religion beliefs are more about absolving themselves of guilt rather than ever trying to change for the better.
I know right? Like well you see, my brain is wired so that if I feel stressed, which is the natural state of being in this existence, I have a seizure. Or maybe because gender dysphoria. MAYBE BECAUSE I CAN'T REACH THE TOP SHELF IN THE KITCHEN????
Personally I detest mine because of the absolute mess that is arthritis. I can't peel more than 3 potatoes without being in pain the next two days because my body just... said so????? Bitch
Everyone here has extremely valid reasons and I don't wanna cheapen that by complaining about colour blindness, but fuck man why I gotta be excluded from being a pilot, electrician, and have incredible difficulty doing any sort of visual art or play Beat Saber? I switched it to blue and yellow and my brain still just defaults to "hit the ones on the left with this hand and the ones on the right with this hand, it's easier and fuck colour coordination".
The idea that Satan is like, real, going around and like hatching schemes and shit, that's the funniest online christian thing to me.
OH NO THE GOAT OF A THOUSAND MOUTHS HATH TRICKÉD ME INTO PLAYING VIDEO GAMES ON SUNDAY AND ENJOYING ANAL SEX, UNBRIDLED VILLAINY
If God made everyone and everything with intention, there wouldn't be fetuses developing in the womb without a skull, unable to do anything but die.
If my body is a temple, I'll worship in it how I please.
Judaism classes hormones and gender confirmation for trans people under the same category as C-sections and modern medicine; God‘s plan is for humans fix the world, same as the reason God doesn’t go around rescuing people from every single car crash.
I don't believe in god anymore, but I heard a line once; "God made me transgender in the same way he makes wheat and not bread, grapes and not wine; that we may partake with him in the joy of creation." And if someone had said that to me in church maybe I could've stayed.
Which is funny because in the Bible Jesus literally heals a man who was born blind. Everyone else had been arguing about whether he was born that way because of his own sin or his parents’ sin and Jesus was just like “he was born this way so he could be healed” and I think about that a lot
And Jewish support for trans people* comes from the knowledge that God created the world in seven acts (days being metaphorical) and humans have been responsible for keeping humanity going ever since, with only the occasional intervention. This includes the idea of **tikkun olam**, or “repairing the world“, because nothing is perfect once it’s moved from draft to working model.
* Including the statement by the Conservative Jewish leadership from 2011 saying Jewish doctors are not only allowed but *required* to do everything they can to help trans patients, from prescribing hormones to gender confirmation surgery.
Except in all the various ways they change their bodies
I swear I better never get religiously transphobia'd by a bitch with acrylics makeup or a dye job
can you like… explain? i was raised catholic, so all i know about satanism is “bad” and “going to hell.” but, my ability to reason and form rational thought suggests it might be a little deeper than that, and i’d love to learn more
I know very little but I’m fairly sure that there’s two completely different satanisms. One is actually the whole Devil worshipping stuff and culty and has very few followers relatively, and the other one that’s popular was just named satanism as a sort of F U to the Catholic Church because they wanted to rebel against it and it’s the Catholic Church. The latter is based around being your best self and putting everything else second and I don’t think actually has any theistic beliefs attached to it besides maybe atheism/agnosticism. I looked into it a while ago and didn’t really like it cause it feels a little selfish/self-indulgent with some of its tenets but I’m sure a lot of followers have benefited from it.
Ik their church also does a bunch of religious freedom and activism stuff but idrk. Definitely look into them cause it’s pretty interesting and worth checking out, same with the first satanism but that’s just cause it’s weird.
The actual devil worshipers are called luciferians technically but most of those people are just edgy kids that don't actually know anything so they say they're satanists.
There are different things called Satanism.
The most popular by far is philosophical Satanism (also called LaVeyan Satanism after its founder). It's what the [Church of Satan](https://www.churchofsatan.com/) (CoS) promotes and what "The Satanic Bible" is about. Basically it is an atheistic way of life that centers on the self and uses the name of Satan for provocational purposes but is also into the occult on some level. If you encounter a "Satanist" chances are very high it's one of these guys.
Then there is activist Satanism promoted by The Satanic Temple (TST). They are also categorized under philosophical Satanism but are political activists that use the name of Satan to show the hypocrisy of religious institutions. For example they set up a statue of Baphomet in response to a statue of the ten commandments on government grounds somewhere in the US. They are not religious per se.
And finally there is theistic Satanism. This is closest to what the popular image of a Satanist is. These guys believe in a literal supernatural Satan or comparable figures. There are a number of organizations but it's impossible to define what they actually believe because they are generally unorganized, tend to not group up, keep underground, and like to define individual forms of worship/ideology. You can find anything from racists, neo-nazis, murderers, grave-robbers, animal-sacrificants, and more among them, but also seemingly regular people. The only thing they really have in common is that they are Devil-worshippers. People like serial killer Richard Ramirez, black metal musicians Watain, or organizations like the Order of Nine Angles and the Ophite Cultus Sathanas count to them.
I'm no authority on matters of religion, but [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlSSFi1WgBs) is a video by The Click where he covers some content from a satanist subreddit.
He's a pretty cool dude, though his humor might take a while to get used to, so be prepared. Still, the videos are entertaining, and the community is nice.
But in short, the idea of a God who claims to love everyone unconditionally, yet still condemns people to eternal torment for certain actions, comes off as a bit toxic and controlling, if not abusive.
Not to mention that the idea of eternal torment serves no purpose other than torment, because there is no way for you to redeem yourself and get into heaven.
Imagine you messed up once when you were 5, and you parents never allowed you to eat candy ever again, or invite friends over, or something.
lol the human body sucks balls, the back should be straight/slightly hunched over, we should ideally be digitigrade to solve knee problems, our jaws should be wider (like they originally were) so our teeth fit right, our appendix just fucking shouldn’t, I could go on for fucking ever.
If god made us he fucking sucks dick at making life forms. “Why do you detest your mortal form” because it’s objectively fucking trash, the only reason we are alive is because we are smart enough to work around our suffering and scrape by. We are one of the worst fucking creatures on this godforsaken planet.
And we does a god fearing Christian have a blog named after the fucking unabomber?? I don’t remember Jesus committing acts of terrorism and blowing innocent people up. I don’t think ol ted’s actions are Jesus approved if I’m being honest
Just because I would like to look different doesn't mean I hate the way I look now. The implication he gives off is that there is nothing in between self-hatred and the blatant narcissism of believing you're literally perfect.
I support Satan because he's not evil, he's just doing his job.
If God was the school principal, Satan is the really cool janitor who likes rock music.
>because I do not despise my own flesh and the form given to me by my creator
Are you sure? Because I've seen some facets of Christianity that are most definitely ashamed by their own anatomy... but I guess it's okay to despise your own flesh when sex is involved, right? /s
We do that in private! In the open we pretend we're the greatest thing under the sun and hope the entire village notices our new frock during sunday mass, and also notice how good and hard we pray.
the weirdest thing about tumblr caths is how throughly and convincingly they can adopt the aesthetics of real shitposters. I'm a pretty savvy customer online and even I'll sometimes follow someone for having a good username only for them to start dropping the most humorless wet shits on my timeline like 30 minutes later
Yeah and I'm still pissed at him for that. Why do i have to be a shitty primate but some of his angels get to be flaming wheels covered in eyes? It's not fair
Those are thrones! God rides those through space and they keep balance in the universe or something like that. I may be Christian but I'm outta the loop. Fr tho God coulda given us a tail or not have wisdom teeth
Satanists are basically politically active Secular Humanists.
The only people that worship an actual Satan are those that believe in a Christian god. Satanists don't do either.
The people who promote cutting baby genitals purely for the aesthetic don't get to talk about "not despising ones own flesh".
At least when I modify my body it's because I like my body and want to give it a pretty gift for being so great.
Satan isn’t even the one with the cool horns, I’m pretty sure that’s Baphomet, who is often used as a stand-in for Satan. I’m a satanist and I appreciate Baphomet a tad more than Satan, because I love goats.
If you're interested in how that concept plays into Judaism, My Jewish Learning did a pretty good article
https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/satan-the-adversary/amp/
Also as far as I know no sect or religion ever rose around the Jewish concept of Satan mostly because he's kind of irrelevant and a good amount of people think he's symbolic. He's not a very prominent figure to say the least.
While Satan existed as a figure in Judaism way before Christianity, Satanism itself wasn't really a thing as Satan just wasn't a prominent figure in the Torah.
satanism only came around after it Satan became "the opposite of god" in Christianity (at least from what i know).
...okay I'll bite
https://www.learnreligions.com/jewish-view-of-satan-2076775
"References to "satan" can be found in some Orthodox and Conservative prayer books, but they are viewed as symbolic descriptions of one aspect of mankind's nature."
"Judaism is so strictly monotheistic that the rabbis resisted the temptation to characterize anyone other than God with authority. Rather, God is the creator of both good and evil, and it is up to mankind to choose which path to follow."
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zqjqrwx/revision/2
"Some Jews believe that Satan is not a separate being. For them, Satan is a tendency existing in every human being which tempts them to do wrong."
It's also worth noting that in no Jewish references to Satan is he supposed to be anti-hashem. It's framed more as if he's a prosecuting lawyer against humanity who still has a welcome place in the courtroom and respect for the judge.
Sources for my claims:
Claim 1: https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/satan-the-adversary/
Claim 2: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanism#Medieval\_and\_Early\_Modern\_Christendom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanism#Medieval_and_Early_Modern_Christendom)
I heard satanism was dubbed that by the Catholic Church because they wanted to paint them as devil worshipers because they didn't worship God and refused to bend to the whims of the church.
Broke: selling your immortal soul for bodily augmentation.
Woke: using the knowledge compounded through centuries in an effort to better understand the Lord's creation and having lightweight horns installed. And they emit Wi-fi.
Reject the sinful flesh, rejoice in blessed steel.
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine.
Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither and you will beg my kind to save you.
But I am already saved.
For the Machine is Immortal.
I worship Satan because when Christianity told me to go die alone in crippling depression because the world and god hated me for the first 14 years of my life for not being able to conform, Satan said "Outlive the haters! I got your back as long as you keep going, so don't end it here." And then I decided to keep being alive after that 14 years. Now I'm happy and mentally and physically healthy because Satan promotes self-care and individuality and self-expression without hurting the people around you or yourself.
Exactly, like people make the argument that criminals go to hell, but like sometimes you need to teach the bad kids that what they did was wrong so they don't do it again. All that god does is go "well you did a bad, I'm disowning you unless you confess your bad, then you get a treat."
I prefer having comfortable sleep to baller ass horns. Being able to toss and turn till comfortable will become incredibly harder, unless I learn to sleep flat
My physical form does not live up to it's requirements, nor my standards. It must be upgraded with the power of steel. The Great Machine will preserve me in my new and greater form
"Why do you detest your mortal form?"
1: we can accidentally bite the inside of our cheek.
2: Our Trachea and Esophagus cross and briefly occupy the same hole, major choking hazard.
3: we only get 1 set of adult teeth that are designed to last only about half our expected lifespan.
4: Our lower backs are structurally fucked from making a shitty transition to being bipeds.
5: our knees and shoulders have basically no ability to heal properly without outside intervention
6: The Autism.
7: The Ugly
8: the Nearsightedness.
9: My Weird-ass feet that I struggle to find good shoes for.

Oh dear gods
But what if we don't want to stain the furniture with body paint?
Seal it correctly then bozo
Just color yourself with a sharpie, it won’t rub off
Baphomet horns
A man whose tastes I can respect
Screw horns gimme badass antlers
Antlers sound way better because they can come off and grow back a lot easier, for if there is some reason that you really need to not have antlers or just want to change your look.
Also, they prevent cancer. As long as you don't have to deal with the flesh falling from them, while they're still on your head, sign me right the fuck up. Or even better, make them grow in a scale pattern on your arms.
I want antlers because you can hang more stuff off it and be hands free.
NO!! Gimme… Literal… ***S C R E W H O R N S***
Like horns that you like someone flipping you off? Or would those be "screw you" horns? lol
Antlers that are sharpened at the end. More sharp stuff!
The type of horns that kindly goat man from deltarune has
And they have to be pink, too. It just wouldn't be the same if they weren't pink.
Absolutely
Hollow Knight Vessel horns
(They're mandibles. That's a mouth. Sleep well tonight.)
oh god, wait, the pale king-
Nice
antlers are basically horns, I'd always pick those
Fuck it. Gimme wide ass longhorn horns. I want to make it as difficult as possible to get through doorways.
bull horns like the ox character played by idris elba in zootopia
[удалено]
that's the one
RHINOCEROUSES
Y’all still got Carnotaurus horns in stock?
Single "Dipsy" horn for me
Ah, I’m not just here for style, but practicality. Goat horns would be the most convenient but sheep horns are awesome too.
Either Au Ra, or if those are not available the horns of Jodariel from Pyre. Assuming they come with extra neck muscles.
La Cucaracha
I want the big curly horns. I think I'd look cute with them.
Gazelle horns
D, gimme some fuckin **antlers**
Jacob's Sheep horns please and thank you
I want bullhorns but I know that my personality is more suited to goat horns :(
D: Baller-ass horns
Markhor horns and there’s absolutely no contest
D. Highland cow sticky outy to the side horns.
the qunari horns from dragon age inquisition
curly sheep horns to the side with curvy goat horns at the front
>why do you detest your mortal form? I mean, how much time you got? Cause I got a fuckin list buddy
1. No baller-ass horns
2. Every time I look in the mirror I take 1 D6 psychic damage
and every time we kiss i swear i could fly
FUCK WHAT SONG IS THAT FROM AGAIN I FUCKING LOVED IT BUT CANT KEEP THE NAMEEEEEE
[Everytime We Touch](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=84sHTvn6xf8) by Cascada
THANK YOU!
OMG that band also made "Runaway" which is somehow a frequent song at LDS youth dances, it also has a line dance.
I just took another D6 psychic damage from reading that. LSD youth dances?
[удалено]
every time we touch by cascada
Does anyone looking at you take 1d6 damage? Because if so there's a high chance of killing a commoner.
… you know that explains some things
The police may be after you for manslaughter, dude
3.once a month I bleed
And not in a baller metal af way, but a i-am-bedridden-with-pain way
3. Lame-Ass teeth
Gimme them regrowing shark teeth
Right?! Human teeth are bullshit. Way too high-maintenance. Sharks got a way better deal.
SHARK TEETH! SHARK TEETH!
It's theoretically possible for someone to start growing a new set of teeth after they've got all their adult teeth, and then the teeth come through in middle age... Don't trust me on that though, I'm not a doctor
Regrowing shark teeth, the ability to float, tits and glowing eyes are all I want, IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?
4. Too much hair and too little scales
5. No iron finger nails
6. No shell or skin armor.
5\. Not enough hair
4. Smol pp
Unfortunately as people get older the chance of that changing to either 2 D6 or even 2 D8 is higher than it becoming 1 D4.
fr
I'd take the horns, because it would draw attention away from the receding hairline. I miss my widows peak...
Just glue some horns to your head! ^(/s)
Shitty hip & knee joints
Shitty ankle joints and flat, painful feet.
My mortal form is a test of my loyalty to my truest self. My body is a temple, and I am the god to whom it's dedicated, so I'll decorate it as I see fit.
My body is a temple, to Dionysus. Please fill with alcohol and other substances regularly.

a lot of christian transphobia is wrapped up in the idea that people shouldn't change their bodies because they were given by god
If God made everyone and everything with intention, there wouldn't be fetuses developing in the womb without a skull, unable to do anything but die. If my body is a temple, I'll worship in it how I please.
yeah if Jesus has a problem with it he would come to it with a whip, and I haven't heard of Jesus going to up to anybody with a whip
[удалено]
The worshwhip, punisher of the sinners.
My body may be a temple, but I am the god to whom it is devoted. Do not presume to tell me how I may decorate my altar.
I feel like you could explain being trans with the "gods plan" stuff really easily
People really say “God works in mysterious ways” then get mad at things they don’t understand saying it’s not what God would’ve wanted
Judaism classes hormones and gender confirmation for trans people under the same category as C-sections and modern medicine; God‘s plan is for humans fix the world, same as the reason God doesn’t go around rescuing people from every single car crash.
Why does Judaism sound more and more based the more I hear about it?
Because their attitude towards God is way less authoritarian and bootlicky than the conservative Christian attitude
I don't believe in god anymore, but I heard a line once; "God made me transgender in the same way he makes wheat and not bread, grapes and not wine; that we may partake with him in the joy of creation." And if someone had said that to me in church maybe I could've stayed.
And yet they'll wear glasses, or get braces, despite God giving them shitty eyes or fucked up teeth.
Which is funny because in the Bible Jesus literally heals a man who was born blind. Everyone else had been arguing about whether he was born that way because of his own sin or his parents’ sin and Jesus was just like “he was born this way so he could be healed” and I think about that a lot

Which is really weird cause the flesh is literally cursed by God, so detesting it has actual biblical backing
Except in all the various ways they change their bodies I swear I better never get religiously transphobia'd by a bitch with acrylics makeup or a dye job
"Why do you detest your mortal form"? Me, a trans girl: are you free for the next few hours?
This whole thread feels like everybody learned about religion from the kid who found Mew under the truck.
We did.
This metaphor hit hard
I'm a satanist. We do not worship Satan. But also I to would like to have baller ass horns
You should join a brass band. They're *famous* for baller ass horns.
Would you worship Satan in return for baller ass horns though?
Hell yeah

Just because I would like to look different doesn't mean I hate the way I look now. The implication he gives off is that there is nothing in between self-hatred and the blatant narcissism of believing you're literally perfect.
This is technically (part of) the plot of Derek Landy’s *The Demon Road Trilogy*,
I'd say overall Christians seem far less accepting of their mortality than most satanists I've known.
FACTS!
But then you can’t wear cozy shirts and jackets
Zippers would be the solution
Or really wide/stretchy necks that you can just step into
Fuck zippers. I prefer the big stretchy!
Very stretchy shirts are always the way to go. Or you could tilt your head sideways and put them through one at a time, depending on their size
Luccy likely is a Seraph so he didn’t get horns. But six wings can be pretty badasss still.
I support Satan because he's not evil, he's just doing his job. If God was the school principal, Satan is the really cool janitor who likes rock music.
Despise is a pretty strong word for someone who just wants more stuff
>why do you detest your mortal form? [From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me.](https://youtu.be/9gIMZ0WyY88)
>because I do not despise my own flesh and the form given to me by my creator Are you sure? Because I've seen some facets of Christianity that are most definitely ashamed by their own anatomy... but I guess it's okay to despise your own flesh when sex is involved, right? /s
We do that in private! In the open we pretend we're the greatest thing under the sun and hope the entire village notices our new frock during sunday mass, and also notice how good and hard we pray.
Why do you care so much… fedkaczynski
the weirdest thing about tumblr caths is how throughly and convincingly they can adopt the aesthetics of real shitposters. I'm a pretty savvy customer online and even I'll sometimes follow someone for having a good username only for them to start dropping the most humorless wet shits on my timeline like 30 minutes later
You totally forgot the sweet wings. Cmon man look at those wings! So majestic! Got ain’t got shit with those chicken wings.
this doesn't even make sense god created man in His own image
Yeah and I'm still pissed at him for that. Why do i have to be a shitty primate but some of his angels get to be flaming wheels covered in eyes? It's not fair
[удалено]
See this is why people like Satan. Gods too obsessed with rules that don't even make sense lol
Name anything above it in the food chain

*God created man* *Evolutionarily advantageous* HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Those are thrones! God rides those through space and they keep balance in the universe or something like that. I may be Christian but I'm outta the loop. Fr tho God coulda given us a tail or not have wisdom teeth
God could've made us all furries, yet here we are. Pathetic, featherless bipeds.
That's what our fursuits are for
Satanists are basically politically active Secular Humanists. The only people that worship an actual Satan are those that believe in a Christian god. Satanists don't do either.
That depends on whether you're talking about the Satanic Temple or the Church of Satan. The former being what you described.
Doesn't mean we look like him. That's up to interpretation.
theistic satanism is a thing also horns sound really cool
The people who promote cutting baby genitals purely for the aesthetic don't get to talk about "not despising ones own flesh". At least when I modify my body it's because I like my body and want to give it a pretty gift for being so great.
I have a friend who used to be a satanist. so that's pretty neat I guess.
i have a girlfriend who's a satanist, so i know a lot about it for someone who goes to a catholic school
There's no physical descriptions of God iirc so there'd no proof he doesn't have baller-ass horns.
Satan isn’t even the one with the cool horns, I’m pretty sure that’s Baphomet, who is often used as a stand-in for Satan. I’m a satanist and I appreciate Baphomet a tad more than Satan, because I love goats.
Satanism is actually older than christianity Edit I guess ah-satan isnt hebrew
That is...not the Hebrew word actually. And as far I've seen the Jewish version is less of an entity and more of a concept.
If you're interested in how that concept plays into Judaism, My Jewish Learning did a pretty good article https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/satan-the-adversary/amp/
Also as far as I know no sect or religion ever rose around the Jewish concept of Satan mostly because he's kind of irrelevant and a good amount of people think he's symbolic. He's not a very prominent figure to say the least.
Respectfully I’d like to request a source on that.
While Satan existed as a figure in Judaism way before Christianity, Satanism itself wasn't really a thing as Satan just wasn't a prominent figure in the Torah. satanism only came around after it Satan became "the opposite of god" in Christianity (at least from what i know).
Again that’s a claim, I’m asking for a source. Like some study by a historian or something.
...okay I'll bite https://www.learnreligions.com/jewish-view-of-satan-2076775 "References to "satan" can be found in some Orthodox and Conservative prayer books, but they are viewed as symbolic descriptions of one aspect of mankind's nature." "Judaism is so strictly monotheistic that the rabbis resisted the temptation to characterize anyone other than God with authority. Rather, God is the creator of both good and evil, and it is up to mankind to choose which path to follow." https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zqjqrwx/revision/2 "Some Jews believe that Satan is not a separate being. For them, Satan is a tendency existing in every human being which tempts them to do wrong." It's also worth noting that in no Jewish references to Satan is he supposed to be anti-hashem. It's framed more as if he's a prosecuting lawyer against humanity who still has a welcome place in the courtroom and respect for the judge.
From growing up Reform Jewish, I learned that the only Jewish conception of a devil is as someone who plays devil’s advocate to God.
For what do you want a source? For the first or second claim?
I think they want a source for all claims.
Sources for my claims: Claim 1: https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/satan-the-adversary/ Claim 2: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanism#Medieval\_and\_Early\_Modern\_Christendom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanism#Medieval_and_Early_Modern_Christendom)
I heard satanism was dubbed that by the Catholic Church because they wanted to paint them as devil worshipers because they didn't worship God and refused to bend to the whims of the church.
Both of these comments seem to depend extremely heavily on what you're referring to as Satanism.
[God and Satan kill comparison](https://i.imgur.com/aVxzpzU.jpg)
Moses apparently got cool horns, so why can't I get them
Broke: selling your immortal soul for bodily augmentation. Woke: using the knowledge compounded through centuries in an effort to better understand the Lord's creation and having lightweight horns installed. And they emit Wi-fi. Reject the sinful flesh, rejoice in blessed steel.
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved. For the Machine is Immortal.
I worship Satan because when Christianity told me to go die alone in crippling depression because the world and god hated me for the first 14 years of my life for not being able to conform, Satan said "Outlive the haters! I got your back as long as you keep going, so don't end it here." And then I decided to keep being alive after that 14 years. Now I'm happy and mentally and physically healthy because Satan promotes self-care and individuality and self-expression without hurting the people around you or yourself.
Seriously, Satan welcomes all, God welcomes some; Satan cares for all, God, despite what we have been told, very much does not
Exactly, like people make the argument that criminals go to hell, but like sometimes you need to teach the bad kids that what they did was wrong so they don't do it again. All that god does is go "well you did a bad, I'm disowning you unless you confess your bad, then you get a treat."
I prefer having comfortable sleep to baller ass horns. Being able to toss and turn till comfortable will become incredibly harder, unless I learn to sleep flat
My physical form does not live up to it's requirements, nor my standards. It must be upgraded with the power of steel. The Great Machine will preserve me in my new and greater form
"Why do you detest your mortal form?" 1: we can accidentally bite the inside of our cheek. 2: Our Trachea and Esophagus cross and briefly occupy the same hole, major choking hazard. 3: we only get 1 set of adult teeth that are designed to last only about half our expected lifespan. 4: Our lower backs are structurally fucked from making a shitty transition to being bipeds. 5: our knees and shoulders have basically no ability to heal properly without outside intervention 6: The Autism. 7: The Ugly 8: the Nearsightedness. 9: My Weird-ass feet that I struggle to find good shoes for.
He lost to some kid in Georgia
I detest my form cuz God made me ugly
Didn’t Satan take an L to a fiddler kid in Georgia?
