tpfkar I say Satanism is Christianity because it gets response, but the fact remains that theistic satanism gets it's belief set from the same holy book, and is required to believe the same things as Christianity with the caveat that they have chosen (for some reason ) to follow Satan, not Christ. They are the same religion. Yeah, I see "the same religion" as a bit much. Same texts, radically different conclusions. Concerning LanguageLOL, that is what many of us atheists ( and variants ) say about all Christians.

None of them quibble on the "God is good" "Jesus is the savior" "Satan is pariah" chewy center of the Tootsie Pop. why do you love satan

tpfkar I don't think "inverted" is the same. I don't think you can get any more anti-Christian than "Satan is good, Christ/God is bad". And Islam is not not considered Christianity for your stated example of "Jesus is not God", and in fact encompasses tenets that are far more consonant with Christianity than does theistic Satanism. A bit of Fry & Laurie - Judge NotBut it is not inverted, they understand that they are on the evil side, and revel in it. Interestingly I would disagree, Islam is radically different from Christianity, but Satanism follows all the same tenets. they just chose to worship a different being in the pantheon. I think the semantics just keep getting deeper. Whatever they believe, seeking knowledge, etc., it is their version of "good/right". And Islam worships God and reveres Jesus, i.e., considers them good/right. Your Name, Sir?

Specifically, Eve, Job, Ananias, Judas off the top of my head. Several other scriptures declare that Satan can and does tempt any Jane or John Doe he wants. I know you're being sarcastic, but I'm not above having some fun. The truth is, I actually have had two vivid dreams about Satan, so I can tell you what he looks like in my dreams anyway. The first was a trilogy of dreams I had in three straight nights about the Antichrist. In the first of those dreams, Satan appeared beside the Antichrist (who was a politician). Satan's career was not made known in the dream. Satan was a white man, roughly 40 years old, in an exquisite suit. I never saw his face, and, in fact, in the dream, I intentionally would not look him in the eyes. Many months later, in the second dream, the same character in the same suit showed up at my childhood home and killed many men in my driveway. As he broke necks, he looked up at me and said, "I'm coming for you, (my actual first name)!" I did not see his face in this dream, either. No. The only thing dream Satan asked me was to join him in the first dream, which I refused. And then in the second dream, he merely wanted to kill me.
