Why? what is the appeal? sure even i'll admit i have look up satanic websites and information about satanism online. But now i just look back on that and think why i would even do something like that? I'll admit im not the most perfect christian and i don't follow God and work on my relationship with him like i should be. But that would be the last thing on my mind which would be to get caught up in satanic spells and worship satan. i find an attraction to some aspects of the Dark side like vampires and zombies and horror movies but thats about all. it is really no more then that. so im just wondering why people on this earth would wanna worship satan and praise his name?

infact in my 11th grade year of high school i had a friend in school his name was Ben siben he was type of kid that didn't have many friends because he was alittle bit of a loner and Different he got picked on alot but he was a fun and funny kid to hang out with i thought at the time anyways. Well then his other best friend David Holmes transfered there from another school over to my school. and with in a couple of weeks i also became friends with David Holmes Bens best friend. and David holmes was one of the tougher kids in school thought he could get into it with every other kid in our high school. i even got in it with him a few times. But David holmes loved his satanic music his favorite band was Mercyful fate. things even got so messed up that David he brought a 9mm gun to our school one day after spring break was over and was gonna kill this other kid that i knew for messing around his girlfriend at the time at some party over the weekend. But he ended up getting busted and halled off by the local police in town in handcuffs him and both ben did. He also that i found out later stashed away crack in his pen caps during english class. So lets just say that i knew i was hanging out with the wrong crowd at the time. David even showed me and another friend of mine my best friend Greg the 9mm gun in the duffel bag it was already loaded but we both were to dumb to tell the princal or the Dean of students at the high school at the time. Now David and Ben last time i heard are both spending time in Juvenile Prison i think still. there are prob both 18 or 19 now. But think David is out now he was in the army for a while his sister told me Jessica Holmes (we were Dating for awhile there if you can belive it) but now that he's out of the army he's supposedly now is a joined member of the church of Satan and can make people cry blood

sorry for such the long post everybody

Why do any of use worship our chosen diety? Because we feel within our choice of diety is truth. Satanist are no different. They feel that truth is within Satan. Truth is the reason anybody seeks out a religiuos path. We are all looking for truth. That's a universal desire in all of humanity. Personally I feel that with the exception of Satanism there is truth is all religions.

The very thing they were not permitted to know anything about. and which led to the eviction from the Garden of Eden and the beginning of a very sad earth. Satan is not a god. He is a created being. Created by God.

Not everyone believes that.

this is based on your perception of what makes a god (attribute wise, not literally makes them )

if a god is just a very powerful entity who is beyond our capability to fully comprehend then it makes sense that people could see Satan as a god. and hey, having just thought this, i think i might be somewhat of a polytheist. infact, it seems rightto me: "God" vs Satan. two gods striving to outdo the other. wow, its weird where some insights can come from

I think that is a good question, worthy of exploring. As a non-Christian, I do not believe Christianity is the Right and One True religion (if I did, I probably would be Christian!) and so it isn't an issue for me. I think it's great though if you explore that idea fully and find out what really makes you a Christian - or makes you believe whatever it is you believe. I believe that virtually everyone of any faith comes to a point similar to this, it's a good point to come to since it can either make your faith in your chosen path ultimately stronger, or it can lead you to something else you do believe in.

This is an excellent question! One way of dealing with things like this is to be sure and pray about these kinds of things never try and deny you have a question about something, because god likes to deal with real things in our lives, and if you deny having the question how will you reconize the answer when you see it? Another thing is to find someone you trust and ask them your questions, (don't you have a good relationship with your dad? He may not have the answers but he could probably point you in the right direction!) On CF there are whole forums that deal with things we don't understand you can check them out. This forum (Non-Christian Spirituality & Religion) is good because you get exposed to different views. (which can help a lot of times to clarify your thinking) Anyway I would encourage you to hook up with people off line as well as on-line because it's nice to deal face to face with people when discussing somethings! Just my thoughts!

Many see Satan as humanity. Not settling for second best, it makes sense. When i first read about the fall of Satan i felt sorry for the guy. Ever seen the movie Dogma, i felt sympathy for the Angels what Ben Affleck said in the parking lot was right on. It's a shame God created angels just as lackeys and gave his real love to us.

Nothing wrong with wondering that's how we find answers. It's the person who never asks questions who walks down the wrong path.

My answer is that the truth is always in us. We do not need to go outside ourselves to find truth but we go outside ourselves to learn how to look inward to even find the truth that is there. And that IMO is what a religion should be about. Teaching us how to look inward to find the truth of God. God made us in his image and just like we have the DNA of our earthly parents we have the wisdom and truth of God in us. But just like we are not our father or mother we too are not God but we have the spirit of God within us. It's not about which religion is the right one. We get all caught up in which external source is "right". But what religion can show you the way through our murky selves to find the truth inside. For me Christinaity is the best path to sort through this maze I call "my life". For me Jesus is God incarnate so if anybody knows how to show me the truth inside of me it's Jesus so I personally have no reason to follow any other religion. But I do believe that other religions can teach how to find inner truth. Personally I do not believe Satanism fits that bill for I feel it's a religion that was started to worship what Satan stands for and Satan has always been the adversary and opposite of God.

IMO external sources are a way to God and God is within us so religion is about finding God within. To me that's salvation. Being saved from not finding God and for me Jesus is the best way to do that. But I do not feel Jesus is the only way to find God. I just feel he is the cream of the crop of the way
