And here, from our friends at dictionary.com, is the definition of satanism...

Sa·tan·ism (stn-zm) n.
1. The worship of Satan characterized by a travesty of the Christian rites.
2. [b]satanism[\b] Profound wickedness.
3. The evil and malicious disposition of Satan; a diabolical spirit.
4. The worship of devils (especially Satan).

I have taken the liberty of numbering them. If you want to argue this definition, then please do so with the people who made the dictionary, not with me.

Yes, yes. Tea at three?

Modern Satanism, though I am not a Satanist, is the worship of Lucifer. Lucifer however is not seen as evil but is seen as the embodiment of the perfect human, the human who indulges the desires of the soul without regard for morality.
However, Satanism has legal bounds and all this is allowed as long as no side is hurt either psychologically or physically.

Then what is the purpose of this thread other than to convey meaningless stereotypes in a borderline offensive manner?

btw I am no Satanist, which is why I had to provide links rather than explain it myself. Also dictionary definitions also occasionally highlight the biases and ignorances of the compilers. Using the dictionary, which is probably compiled by atheists or members of the mainstream religions, is like asking a Fascist the definition of Anarchism.

*discusses with dictionary makers*

well, they admit they were wrong. Satanism is actually a stupid religion that desperate anti-christians cling onto because they have nothing better to do and feel they want to rebel against the system.

those smart dictionary makers!

That wasn't the original purpose, but it's quickly becoming so.

Watch this: New Definition of Christianity (Lithuanighanistania)

Christianity n.
1.A bunch of douches running around in a circle hugging bibles and refusing to admit they are wrong about anything.

See, just because I write that doesn't make it so.

You just proved my point. Ask someone from the faith/belief/etc for the definition rather than someone who is antagonistic.

OMG STEPH HELP! THIS INSANE PSYCHO IS ACCOSTING ME WITH DEFINITIONS!

The dictionary is reliable when it comes to defining common nouns, verbs, and adjectives. Definitions of proper nouns are limited by the definer's knowledge or lack thereof and the definer's personal biases.

That said, I really don't think I care a tremendous amount. Satanism is the product of a bunch of whiny, selfish brats, and I must confess that I secretly enjoy it when they find themselves harrassed.

My god! I never knew that Satanism was actually the worship of Satan (Duh - Muppet) - I can learn learn soooo much from you :twisted:

I 've read the satanic bible

Anyone have some crisps and a fanny pack? I must go to the loo!

say "fanny pack" in the uk and you'll be laughed into the middle of next week.

ur all getting satanism mixed up with evil-worship.

satanism (or its original name shay-tanni) is an ancient religion far predating the monotheistic faiths. it does not worship satan as a physical being, as satanists beleive themselves to be gods and any theistic worship would be blasphemy to themselves, but rather follows the idea of living life to the full.

the concept of satan was then hijacked by the abrahamic faiths to be used as the fallen angel, and the original meaning was lost in millenia of history-changing.

i dont belong to any organised religion but i personally find the idea of humans with god-like powers far more conforting than the powers belonging to some hidden being.
