The worship of Satan: Has it led to genocide?

[Photonic]

Erm..

Sure there are..they generally kids involved in rituals or serial killers.

But nothing on the scale of the big 3.

So...maybe a few hundred over the course of thousands of years?

If that.

I would say this seems to be the usual way around though.

See? That's another thing. The big 3 use Satan to justify killings..

As in "purifying the soul".

Hmm..

Well, since most of human nature tends to side with the forces of good over evil, Satanism is probably very much a fringe religion with very few actual participants.... so no, they don't have the numbers or the power to do much of anything as dramatic as genocide.

Truthfully... All genocides are not of God, they are of man. Even the ones done in God's name. Man is his own worst enemy.

Actually, Satanism is a very interesting religion, and it has little to do with your concepts of evil.

The use of Satan is a symbol for Promethean rebelliousness.

I'm not sure there is a single recorded instance in history of a satanist actually killing anyone.

Actually, I know that "Satanism" is not really a religion, but more of a mockery of Christianity started by a group of Atheists, led by Anton LaVey. They perform rituals in opposition to Christian rites. It's very much a "thumbing their noses" kind of thing.

Could be..but like many things..it may have morphed into something real.

Well..as real as a religion can be..they are all crazy in my view. Each and every one of them.

Not entirely, there is actually a theistic satanism and an atheistic one.

OK... wasn't aware of that. That's kind of weird, if one would believe and worship Satan...that means they would also are aware of how it all ends(bibilically speaking), with wailing and gnashing of teeth. Doesn't sound like a winning strategy to me.... Unless, they feel that Satan will look kindly on them when they arrive... I dunno.

Well, the way they see it, is Satan has done far less evil than God himself.

Why would one worship what the Bible can only show as a petty jealous Tyrant?

That would be Republican Jesus.

As I don't believe in god or satan..then genocides get attributed to causes, factions, political beliefs, ethnicities, religions or nations in my world.

Christianity, thus far, holds the record for genocides in this regard.

No Shallow, that's a blatant lie, as you know.

Atheism is the #1 killer in Geno/democide. Atheist leaders such as VI Lenin, Josef Stalin, Ho Chi Minh, Mao Tse Tung, Pol Pot and Fidel Castro VASTLY outnumber those killed by religion.

You're number one, Shallow - in genocide that is...

The other big two are distantly behind that religion.

But it's interesting that "Satanic" worship gets the blame for the world's "evils".

Especially given the propensity to "purify" souls via "releasing" them. No?

There is no organic Satanist religion. Those that are out there are based on Judeo-Christian tradition.

Oh not this stupid shit again.

Look, unless you can provide evidence that it was their atheism that was the cause, you have no ground upon which to base your argument.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc.

Also, even combined the numbers of deaths would be approx 200 million, with death being directly attributed to religion at a steep 800+ million.

Would you back up that statement about "Christianity, thus far, holds the record for genocides in this regard. ...." with some numbers/facts/evidence? BTW, Christianity is also known for having some of the most productive people in the world.

Sheer numbers give you that statistic, but per capita? Hell no they don't.

 

[logical4u]

I have listened to some people that did worship Satan and got out of it. From what they said, it was an unhealthy faith:
It made them happy to hear about "Catholic priests" (it didn't mean as much if a non-Catholic molested a child) molesting children
They used envy to target people for destructive exercises
They were pressured to go along with the group
They were targeted by fellow members for bullying if they did not attend regular "meetings"
They were unhappy with their life after being involved, but saw no way out of the mess they had joined

Kind of like liberals/progressives/dems/socialist/communists/islamists/homosexual activists/environmentalists!

I talked to one person that admitted to attending a "meeting"; he said that they passed around cups with blood in them and everyone was supposed to drink it (I guess mocking the Last Supper). He did and said it was definitely blood, but thinned with water. He said everyone was wearing cloaks with hoods, so it was hard to recognize anyone. Sorry, but that just never appealed to me.

So exactly like Christianity then.

Well..that's if you think Lenin, Stalin, Minh, Mao and Castro were involved in Genocide. They weren't. Add in..Stalin at one time was trying to be a priest.

So out of your group..there was one guy actively involved in genocide..Pol Pot.

Saloth Sar was born on May 19, 1925—the eighth of nine children,[8] and the second of three sons—of a moderately wealthy family of Chinese descent,[9][10] in the small fishing village of Prek Sbauv, Kampong Thom Province in a Cambodia dominated by French colonialism. In 1935 he left Prek Sbauv to attend the École Miche, a Catholic school in Phnom Penh.

Gosh.

I guess all that "productivity" comes with a price.
