        It didn’t need to be. Satan is pictured doing something us Satanists revere him for, rebelling against tyranny.

          More like opposing God, like when he wanted Adam and Eve to eat the only fruit God explicitly told them not to eat

          That’s why you follow Stan

            Is that why God gives babies cancer? Because our great^1000 grandparents ate a fruit off of his little tree? Sounds pretty tyrannical to me. They punish grandkids for their grandparents crimes in North Korea, too.

            Or maybe it’s just all some bullshit. Stan and Jod are not real bruh. Most of us just like the imagery, and what it represents. The opposite of the hypocrisy and tyranny that is Christianity. Logic, reason, and empathy.

            To be fair, there is at least a large chapter on empathy in the Bible that the vast majority of Christians seem to skip over. But most of you seem to want to focus on that first book so much.

        Who cares? The subject matter is on-topic. Are you suggesting that people should not discuss any works of art having to do with satan, and thus not consider or discuss the context around those works of art, unless they were pro-satan artists? If so, you have a very restricted idea of philosophical inquiry.

            You sure seem to be having a hard time actually saying that. It would’ve been way easier for us to understand if you had just come right out at the beginning and said it then.

            Anyhow, this sub is for The Satanic Temple. Have you read the 7 tenets? I think you’ll be amazed at how not evil they are. “One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.” is not something an evil person would say.

              You’re still following him. selfishness and straying people away from God are his goals, not having people worship him

                Hey, you every right to keep being stupid and uneducated about a very simple topic which you refuse to research. Have a good day.

                You’re still following him

                Are we though? Are you sure about that, or are you assuming?

                Also, which god are you talking about? There are so many, so I can’t know which one you’re referring to if you don’t refer to them by name.

                  This person is truly not worth the effort. They have gotten numerous reasonable replies that they reject with the same thoughtless Christian rhetoric. Satanism has been explained to them, now there is no reason to waste our time further.

                  Hail Satan 🤘🏽
