So what's up with Saul visiting a medium and then being visited by a dead Samuel?

whadd'ya mean? Is this a 'how to?' question, a 'huh?' question, or a 'is this what really happened?' question?

How to: don't know, don't care.

Huh?: yeah, really! Funny!

Is this what really happened?: must be. it's in the Bible, wild, eh? God not only allowing something like that to be successful, but giving Saul the reprobat actual answers that weren't vague, generic fortune cookie/ horoscope trickery. Kewl, is all i can say; God's amazing, incomprehensible whatever that attribute that would be....

Satanism is a religious semi-religious and/or philisophical movement whose adherents recognize Satan, either as an Archtype, literal being, pre-cosmic force, or anything in between. Some Satanists celebrate aspects of Human nature represented by the usually Christian or literary (Milton, Goethe) Satan archetype. Many Satanists do not worship a deity called Satan or any other deity. Unlike many religions and philosophies, Satanism generally focuses upon the spiritual advancement of the self, rather than upon submission to a deity or a set of moral codes. However, some Satanists do have moral codes, e.g., the 9 Statements or 11 Laws of the LaVeyan Satanists.

So-called "Gothic Satanism" is not known to be practiced in the world today. This is the Satanism that inquisition-era accusers believed was being practiced, and involved tales of murder and baby-eating.

Many contemporary Satanists eschew traditional religious beliefs, attitudes and worship in favor of a moreegoistic worldviewand practices such as magick. Groups or individuals described in some sense or another as Satanic can largely, though incomprehensively, be described as belonging to one of two unofficial sub-groupings: Philosophical Satanism or Religious Satanism.


is this true?
