Christians that don't like Satanists may not like them for many reasons. They ignorantly think they know what Satanism is, they don't like anyone who isn't Christian(hypocritical), they think all Satanists are the same and they encountered bad ones, the excuses are endless.
Satanists that don't like Christians may not like them for many reasons as well. They ignorantly think they know what Christianity is about, they don't like anyone who isn't Satanic, they think all Christians are the same and encountered a few hypocrites, again the excuses are endless.
I think it depends on the individual for the reason they don't like the other religion. Everyone has their own reasons for being the way they are.
The one thing that is indefinitely proven by this thread is that the threads with a subject related to religion seem to get more viewers then threads without a subject related to religion.
Angelus; I was in no way judging all Satanists by the acts of my brother-in-law, contrarily I was stating the fact that I know not all of them are the same based on his actions compared to the actions of others.
well first off i get anoyed when ppl call christianity a religion altho it may be categorised as one...its not a religion its a relationship. i try to talk to my god dayly but im not perfect. i know that he died for me and the same cannot be said about satanial. i know that he knows my innermost secrets and thaughts. and i also know that nomatter what i do or how messed up i get, his love remains the same and is always ready to forgive. i have felt him in so many ways. and when all hope is lost and i am alone, he is always there whether i feel him or not. he talks to me sometimes. it is different for most pll. some hear him audible, some he speaks to thru signs or just thru the reading of his word. i think that its more personal than just "a religion"
Well I'd say the big reason for the discord between the two is that In the Bible Satan is evil. When Someone says I worship Satan it comes across as I worship a being of evil.
Now I have heard that there are groups that worship a non-biblical Satan. But most don't know about them.
A similar situation is the National Socialist Party of Canada. (Yes Canada does have a Nazi party. They just get next to no votes)
When you hear about a NS party the first thing that comes to mind is Hitler's NS party. Many automatically assume that the other NS parties are just like Hitler's and desire the same things that he and his did.
That is not the case with the Canadian NS but they get the bad wrap from the name. No where on their platform do they have kill minorities, Arian nation. But people think they do do to the name and its past use. They actually have some good ideas albeit a little too right wing for my taste.
Also it would help if the media did not portray Satanist as baby eating monsters, waiting to sacrifice you in one of their blood orgies.
JesusFreak; I understand what you're saying, but I noticed a flaw in the message. God didn't die for us, Jesus did. God just gave his son for us which, in the opinion of some people, may be considered worse then dieing.
I do me...You do you!! and we all lived happily ever after.
I don't expect any accolades or any pads in the back for doing what comes natually to me....Neither should you...
I don't understand what the whole thing is about. Tomorrow I will still do me and you will still do you..
My $.02
I don't worry about what others do and that is all there is to it. The only thing I can do is to give respect to others and ask for the same in return. There will always be some differences and similarities in all of us... Those things will never change...
lolyou do pay attention to detail dont you, you see they are 3 in 1 (holy trinity) so on or the other may go by one of the three names. so god/father, son/jesus, holy ghost
