Believing in yourself is Satanic?
Wow, religious propaganda is so insidious.
Literally, they want compliant, obedient, non-thinking sycophants. It’s what the entire religion is based in, right down to Adam and Eve. It’s a cult.
Not to be the douche that links a tedtalk, but extremely relevant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS7mBbXxJYA
“We don’t want women like you”
All religions.
The crazy thing is that the three main religions all derive from the same dumb story of Abraham convincing himself that God wanted him to murder his own son to prove his belief in God.
Luckily some slightly sane part of his mind kept him from doing it, but his delusion convinced him it was God that stayed his hand.
I recently read that up until fairly recently in human history, people didn’t understand thinking. They didn’t realize it was their own mind coming up with ideas, they literally thought God placed it there. Come up with a good solution to a problem? You didn’t think of it, refine it, figure out how to apply it, etc. GOD gave you the idea. They really didn’t think they were capable of their own independent thought.
So all three religions worship the exact same God, and believe in the same origin stories, but we still have to genocide all the others because their version of the guy with uncontrolled schizophrenia who tried to murder his son in the name of God, has different nuances than my version.
Whoa whoa whoa… Are we talking the guy with uncontrolled schizophrenia who tried to murder his son in the name of God council of 1879 here, or the guy with uncontrolled schizophrenia who tried to murder his son in the name of God council of 1912?
I considered linking Emo Philips’ brilliant joke, now you’ve forced my hand:
One person seems to go “um, ackchually, real christians like Barack Obama are not like that”.
Given the fact that Americans were so obsessed with religion it’s probably necessary for any politician to pretend to be religious it doesn’t mean they actually are.
I feel satanic. If anything, that’s the one thing I would tell others. “Believe in yourself”. So WT Fucking F to this poster.

I’ll let him drop the mic.
Really great.
Should be at least three fingers.
One in the stink?
and breasts
…okay.
sabrina show portrayed lucifer as one with the goat head, i dont think other shows ever portrayed other than a “DEMON” looking person. he still an angel though
The traditional depiction of Baphomet, since before Christianity has existed, has had a goat head.
Turn off the television.
never said that lol, your making shit up.
No, you just spewed some brain dead nonsense about television characters.
Why don’t you take a break and have a juice box? This conversation is obviously flying over your head.
Watch “Sandman” on Netflix. Really an accurate Lucifer, if you ask me.
When I see all those christian pedo-nazis, if I were to believe in all this BS (which I fucking don’t), Hell is for sure where I wanna end up. I don’t want to spend eternity raping children and shooting people of color in paradise.
And their music is gonna suuuuuuuuck
so is their food. if drug use, hedonism and gluttony are sins, who is going to cook for them?
See, you get why some of us Cross lackeys are aiming for the Pit. An Eternity in heaven is getting harder to sell by the day with the company it claims.
There’s some cool old Christian music but I bet they’re just playing creed in heaven.
ba wit daba da bang bang kiddie kiddie kiddies
Religious fruit cakes need to be told what to do.
Love how the religeous claim certainty that THEIR instructions from God, and they all seem to justify their “grandad’s” values as to when to break their own principles.
Ie:
Love thy neighbour but MY NEIGHBOR got a Windmill so I should be allowed to arson!
If a thief takes your cloak, also give him your coat… but no socialism for anyone I dont know, they r all lazy bums
Etc etc
No chance any of this is u know who, or maybe just your ego? Oh no, you know cause a gut feeling and old folks said so
When I was a kid, one of my parents’ friends had a fun idea she shared with us. She posed the thought that maybe all the different religions were real and the world was just a game of chess they were playing with us as pieces.
Woah, I think I’ve seen that anime…
I think we are a science experiment. Not limited to religion.
I read a really fun new age book titled something like “the most attractive place in the universe”. It was all kinds of woowoo psuedo-judeo-christian but there were fun ideas in it.
What follows is a rough summary of some of those ideas an in no way represent my view of the cosmos.
Stars are angels and solar radiation is the method of sending divine instructions to creation. Our sun is Lucifer and our solar system is an experimemt in free will which makes it a desirable place for our celestial selves to choose to be incarnated. It is supposed to be a school as well as experimental lab of sorts but because free will is so attractive souls keep reincarnating here which is causing issues.
There was a whole lot more going on but this was like 30 years ago that I read it.

In Evangelical circles, we refer to this as discernment. Discernment is great, it explains why the bible might be confusing to some people, why it might seem to definitely contradict itself, and why it seems to be so broadly open to interpretation. To navigate all of that, you don’t trust your evil sinful gut - you use Discernment
It’s spoken about as if it is a super power you get when you become a Christian. Unfortunately, you don’t magically become discerning once you become a Christian, and plenty of people are just dumb.
Lucifer is the reasonable one in the Bible, God is the one who wipes out millions for amusement.
Did you know that according to the Bible they hang out and talk shit together? God never hangs out with anyone else.
A key reason why the church suppressed education for such a long time in what is now referred to as the dark ages.
If intelligent people were able to read the source material then they would learn what utter shite they were being fed.
Fortunately for religious organisations we now live in a society where most people are able to read the source material but choose not to and blindly follow the words spoken to them.
Viewed subjectively, the God described in the Bible is a MONSTER.

Now I don’t wanna sympathize with the devil, but…
that would make some kickass memes to send to your fanatically christian uncle.
Not an expert but I thought he talk to job at least in the good omens version.
As a Christian, Ive always found it interesting how much Anton La Vey’s Satanism reflect the values of the early church as a commentary on the corruption associated more commonly with Catholicism as a denomination, which I’ve always found incredibly based, even if the chosen mythography of satirization makes me a little irked. Still, I wouldn’t take it seriously if I didn’t believe either side was “real” either
Hail Satan
Peace be upon his infernal majesty.
There it is. Like sitting through hate sermons every Sunday isn’t torture enough.
Storytime: The last sermon I sat through was literally a hate sermon.
One of my buddies in grad school talked me into coming to his church for a session one Sunday, and me being mostly agnostic/pagan at the time figured “Ahh, why not? I’m all for you sharing your culture and beliefs with me, I’ll hear it out.”
Shit. You. Not. 20 minutes into the thing… The preacher was talking down the “evils of pride month” and how if you ever feel “ostracized” on your campus for “standing against” the satanic “influences” of the LGBTQ, you always had a “strong community” to turn to here.
If you’re cringing reading this… now just imagine this obviously queer 20s something sitting in the middle of the crowd with this giant rainbow scarf on (it was February) while these aryan karens and nutjobs to my left and right are casually nodding along.
Made a fucking beeline for the door and never spoke to that crazy fucker (or went back to church) ever again lol
I’m so, so sorry that happened to you. And I am so glad you didn’t give into the guilt and shame they tried to put on you. Probably saved you a few years of deep fucked up guilt, if not your life. (I’ve lived it, post religious trauma is real and heavy).
That’s their entire model: making emotional hostages through guilt.
I’ve left that behind a good 10 years now and I’m feeling so much happier but boy it’s been a ride. I’m still rediscovering life and myself to this day.
Thanks for sharing. Thanks for standing up and walking out of there, hopefully you ignited something in some of them. As hateful as they are, a lot of them are victims, being held there by fear against their will.
And that’s why I left the church. Priest kept drumming up hatred for little zero reason
Been getting more involved with a small non-denominational church over the last few months though. The pastor really steps back when to earth when he gets off the little stage, just back to being a normal guy
I love community and hate hate… There’s no room for hate within me, I won’t let that poison taint me
Suffering is not a glitch in the Christian life—it’s part of it. In this conversation, Matt Smethurst and Ligon Duncan talk about how pastors can prepare their people to face pain with faith and endurance. They discuss what it means to view hardship through God’s providence, why the “victorious Christian life” often looks like just hanging on, and how preaching, hymns, and patient shepherding can help believers trust God when he seems silent.
i know so many people who justify their suffering like this.
Well yes, Thats the propaganda of christianity. Their god doesn’t want you to have independent, critical thought. You’re supposed to do as the authorities tell you, pay your taxes like Jesus TOTALLY said 🙄and be a good citizen and follow the laws. Curious isnt it? Almost as if the texts were altered thousands of times over the years until they fit the views of the people pushing it
It is essentially a slave religion where you work for next to nothing your entire life in suffering and then you get imaginary rewards in the afterlife.
It is of course a garbage religion that borrowed all of its stories from religions that came before it. Jesus was a doomsday cultist who believed in resurrection on this Earth hence why his cultists staged his resurrection to prove his teachings were true.
Satan is not out here murdering 168 school children. Christians are doing that. Satan is not out here raping and genociding its neighbors. Jews are doing that. Satan is not out here murdering peaceful protestors. Muslims are doing that.
Satan doesn’t kill a single person in the Bible. Yahweh on the other hand…
Satan isn’t really much of a presence in the Bible at all. Christians made up more shit to have something to blame for everything they don’t like.
Wasn’t it that Satan did 4 things?
- A bit of arrogant rant that he is not gonna serve humans. Got thrown to hell. By all loving father. Yeah.
- Still pissed, nudged Eve to break the God rule about apple. God had a meltdown and not only banished but also cursed Adam and Eve.
- Teased Jesus to break his goal. Didn’t work.
- Teased God on few occassions about devotion of humans. Then God made people suffer to prove his point.
Like, Lucifer always seemed to me more like disgruntled old family friend/worker than some evil guy.
The serpent being Satan was a retcon from the New Testament, too.
“I’m not in the business of murdering innocent children. That’s God’s jurisdiction.”
- Lucifer, The Devil’s Carnival
Yes religions are the cause of every issues /s not imperialism or capitalism, religion.
Organized religion is a very useful tool for imperialism and capitalism, and I’m tired of pretending it isn’t
Evangelical Christianity IS a manifestation of capitalism. It is the culture arm of capitalism.
It predate capitalism by a thousand year but ok.
You’re thinking of protestant, it’s not secret that allowing usury meant breaking up from the pope. But even then, religions are theaters of the class war, not only tools for the powerful.
Christianity predates capitalism. Evangelical Christianity is a much more modern development.
I don’t recall saying any of these words you’re putting in my mouth. Are you suggesting the people committing these atrocities are not what I say they are?
Racism literally came from Christianity. It definitely is the problem and creates a framework to allow capitalists/wealthy to take advantage of people.
From Abrahamic religions in general. They seem to share the theme a lot
yea japan is notoriously racism-free.
I know you guys are oppressed by a bunch of christian fundamentalist, but my wife is muslims and secularists here would love to “remigrate” her to the very same biggots that tried to kill her.
Imagine confusing xenophobia with racism. While there are some traditional cultural groups that experience discrimination this does not translate to general racism like in the US or European.
https://weai.columbia.edu/news/qa-professor-michael-sharpe-racism-and-immigration-japan
Most African Americans experience more freedom in Japan than in Christian dominated cultures. Why is that?
Toad opens mouth and inserts foot.
Because japanese racism is mostly targetting chinese and korean whereas black people is presented to them through american medias, which they consider high culture.
Japan was allied with the nazis ffs
Glad we can put you silly comment about racism to rest
The US funded the Nazi for Christ’s sake. What is your point?
Reddit atheists are stupid.
Literally has no clue about history. Sad.
I know all this. Ever heard of liberation theology? Religion is a theater of the classwar, not an enemy in itself.
Nowadays secularists want to “remigrate” my wife because she’s muslim.
I have heard many theories in my life, religion has always been used to enslave and control. That is the reality.
Or rather nationalists. It’s not that the IDF is a religious organization or something
Eh, don’t know if you can truly separate the IDF and their religion. Certainly the rhetoric they employ relies upon it.
So why is the Israeli government and IDF committing a genocide?
Because of nationalism and colonialism. They might use religious rhetoric where it suits them and there are religious people in government, I don’t deny that, but over all it’s a ethnic supremecist ideology and religion is only one identity marker, not the motivator.
And all of this is rooted in religious overtones. You take the religious aspects out and I doubt this would be happening. The ethnic supremacy is rooted in religion.
Small minded response
Murican patriotic rhetoric is full of liberty and the founding fathers and the flag and stuff. Do you think, without one of these elements, there would be no nationalism?
I’m not talking about the US.
And I was giving an example of nationalism that’s more than its rhetoric
this is actually sad as fuck if you think about it
ok but why does the guy in the pic look like a cave man?
I didnt have “Christians admitting Satan is doing a better job parenting than them” on my bingo card.
pure satanic energy
