Also, am i the only one bothered they seem to be ACTUAL Satan worshipers and presented as in any way likable characters? I am on second episode only but i really dont like that aspect. I dont mind darker turns but actual Satan worshiping presented as a good idea of good seeming persons (like Aunt Hilda for example she seems too kind smart and nice to be a Satan worshiper without knowing its a bad idea) seems wrong. Same with saying Satan is exhibition of free will.
I honestly dont mind Satan themed shows or characters, like I enjoy Lucifer etc, but they present him as clearly a comical representation plus overall he is more good than anything. But here it seems manipulative and too serious. What are your thoughts on that aspects?
PS - I am not religious, i would have the same problem with a Sympathetic yet serious portrait of Hitler. Like I didnt mind Hitler being funny or even somewhat good character in Jay Baruchels Man Seeking Woman but would have a problem with Hitler being portrayed in a serious seeming show where like-able and smart characters are his supporters.
Plenty of good, nice, and smart people worship Satan, and they would argue that Satanism is about free will. For a lot of people, it's a good idea.
I think it's actually a pretty nuanced depiction, especially with Sabrina resisting it as the show progresses. From what I've seen so far anyway.
wait what, plenty of nice smart and good people worship satan? since when??
free will is about their ability to do so if they chose and i dont have a problem with that but being anactive satanist (in the true sense of the word and the “philosophy” behind it is in direct conflict of being a good (nice and smart are optional) human being - you activelly worship evil and wish for it to materialize in this world.
again / this is not a defense of religion of any kind or coming from a religious place - i am an atheist. but whereas people worshiping god (pretty much any god) traditionally aim to bring love and peace to the world (unless they abuse the religion to their twisted ideals) but satanism is in its concept about worshiping evil and dread and intending to cause bring harm upon this world.
sure there may be people who call themselves satanists bur are not really maybe they just seek artistic expression or symbolism to play with - thats not what i mean though...
