Read essay online and leave comment here



A Satanist considers Satan as an archetype which is best expressed in English, using Western monotheistic religion as a reference, but does not accept the traditional role given to Satan by white light religions. When looking at different parts of the world, or at different religions, the nature of Satan changes accordingly. For example, what would a Satanist say is a Satanic rejection of the Buddhist or Hindu worldviews?

Opps~ i disagree with you.

Hello Vexen, i am Vernace. In Buddism, it never says that satan means our ties to this world, our ego, our wants and desires. Having ties, ego and desires of this world are not evil in Buddism philosopy. Maybe i should call Buddism as Zen. Zen is not really a religion but a philosopy just like satanism. It is not like Christainity, the concept of good and evil. It is about searching the truth, ehh.... just like the show "matrix" Staying nether the good or the bad side, Zenist is neutral( the grey side )

Hey... i really admire you, Vexen. Too bad, i am not gay. HAHAHAHAHAH~

Re: Opps~ i disagree with you.

Mara is the Buddhist symbol of evil, and Mara represents and promotes all ties to the Earth, all desire. To overcome all desire, like the Buddha, you have to defeat Mara (Satan), like the Buddha did, as Desire & Evil are the same thing: Attachments to this world, that prevent personal consummation.

Truth

The truth about Satan, let alone this demonic website, is that Satan is nothing more than a defeated enemy of God and the only reason why he has able to get all of you to follow him is because you're all weak-minded and if you think that he cares about any of you---he doesn't!!
He is merely fooling you all into thinking that he cares, when in reality, he's dragging your souls to hell and if you keep following him, you'll die one day and when you realize that he's dragged your sorry souls to hell, you will all wish that you hadn't listened to him, and you'll scream to the Lord to pull you all out of hell---but your screams will go unheard and then you will all realize why you're all in hell---you were all foolish enough not to heed the word of God and were foolish enough to listen to an evil entity who hates your guts and sees you all as nothing more than a bunch of gullible primates who believe any demonic nonsense that he tells you.
Don't believe me??
Who do you think is telling you to reject the word of God??
