Is Satanism as a label still relevant in 2020? | Forum

No, I would not classify it a safe space. I would more so liken it as to being a mature adult. Because mature adults don't run around yelling obscenities in everyone's face. People and children with a lack of control do that sort of thing.

Community: A group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common. OR A group of interdependent organisms of different species growing or living together in a specified habitat. The 1st definition would apply to all I have seen to be frequent fliers here, with me as the exception. The second definition applies to us all somewhat loosely. Ether way, this is a community forum of Satanists or those interested to some degree.

I appreciate you giving your feedback on how you perceive me. It's a shame you think that about me given this one-dimensional view of me. I find it odd because NONE of my FB friends hold near this level of negativity towards me. 

ANNA AND THE CHLOE:

I believe this is not simply anyone's mentality. This is just the valued mentality of group think which is favored and rewarded in this group. If you aren't rude and inappropriate, you are weak and should be hated. It's a very understood study of tribal mentality in cultural anthropology. I've evolved from such ways many years ago. Life is much better now a days. The real difference between those communities of extinct tribes and their way of life, is that they didn't stand the test of time. They casted out certain individuals to be killed off by the wild by starvation and refused protection the tribe offered. 

Allow me the opportunity to explain who I am to you, Madam:

I can't be starved here therefore the outcast methods don't work to kill off those someone doesn't favor. Everyone could just stop interacting with me, but that'll just give me free reign to continue here uninterrupted, and I know that's not what people would want. They could think I may be bulled out of being here any longer. That would normally work for most people, but I'm not exactly normal. I thrive in such environments and pushes me to stay longer and contribute more. I feed on such energies. For I am the iconoclast. So, no matter how you look at it we are stuck here together. It may help to facilitate an easy time to cohabitate if we at least pretend to get along. There is much that each of us can learn from each other, or choose to learn on our own. And as I said before, to each their own.

An example of a person who hijacks any thread and makes  the thread all about themselves. 

It's because they believe Satanism is all about being adversarial and transgressive. Satanism have always been used as an excuse to troll people.

With ritual garb aside, the dudes' mannerism comes off as the leading character of a 1970s television series without any Kung Fu, yet?

Wait... what??? Tom what exactly do you think is going on here? A statement like that leads me to believe that you are here simply as some role-playing costume party where the devil is just the "theme". 

You do know what the word Satan means right? You know his role in mythology? Do you think a satanist should not be adversarial and transgressive? 

Personally, I think it is a shame that most* limit their transgressions and adversity to the interwebz alone. You remove those two elements and what do you have? E.A. Koetting or something, right?

I have to say that I agree with Tom on the issue of feminism. He makes a valid point. I think you're correct about the mentality as well. But, these people who embrace such are the "Rebels without cause", as Peter Gilmore calls them.

You see if this was a battlefield and both sides were completely balanced, it would be a long bloody battle with no clear winner. However if you give one side the gift of creative strategy and leave the other without; it is completely possible to have a clear victor without a single casualty. Tsun Tzu wrote a whole book on it.

So maybe instead of the ignorant eye for an eye bullshit Tom reeks of, you maybe embrace and truly love what it means to be masculine. Let nature do the rest. It is poison to our essence to allow the worldview of others to taint our own. Look at Tom he's rife with resentment and it really shows. It is probably the fundamental cause of a lot of his rational inconsistencies. 

As for the "rebel without a cause" bullshit; all rebels have a cause, some causes are simply more personal than others. However no one fights just because. That's stupid.

Look kid if there is trolling involved, it is because you made yourself a mark. Satan did not simply question his authority. He said plainly: 

"I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High."

In today's terms that is "Fuck you, I can do it better." in other words he declared himself god's adversary. You don't get more transgressive than that.* So moving on here...

Satanism is about the worship of Satan? You have read LaVey right? I'll leave this right HERE for you. I think you might want to rethink this one.

I'm* sorry pal, your actions just aren't lining up with your words here. You spend an incredible amount of time doing "nothing" about it. You do realize peddling your views on this is still doing something, right? Otherwise why even talk about it?

I see I misread your reply. So just ignore my last post. In my defense though, your english is terrible. Still I should have read more carefully.

I don't see how any violence or action worthy of guilty intent for prolonging the social war on/against feminism is anything I have endorsed. I simply agree with what Tom stated. MGTOW is the backlash felt in the political circle from the negative culture surrounding what was built of feminism. The ideas of feminism itself are not negative, but the culture surrounding it is. This is very much the same with the LGBTQIA+ movement. The idea that one's sexuality shouldn't allow them to be a discriminated target is perfectly understandable. However, we have a culture built around this idea which promotes such things as "Desmin is amazing" and the psychological child abuse his raising in this community has endured. I'm not fighting against it, but I do share Tom's ideals on the matter.

The reason I put "Rebels Without Cause" in quotes is because it is in reference to an essay by Peter Gilmore which fits perfectly here. Tom understood it. Just acting adversarial isn't Satanic. The devil is a gentleman and conducts himself as such. There is a time and place for all actions and emotions to be unleased. To mindlessly shout obscenities back and forth in disagreement as I have seen in various forum topics is the opposite of being Satanic.  

If my reply to you was such an extreme example of negativity, then you have a really delicate skin of a newborn child. This is not my prerogative to drive you away from here. Neither is yours to tell everyone how to behave. So stop being a forum mommy. Some people here prefer calling a spade a spade and a moron a moron. Stupidity is called stupidity and not "some different, weird kind of wisdom." You might not like it but others might not like the circlejerk of politically correct ass-kissers pampering each other's precious ideas.
