  1. Satanist churches have nothing to do with Christianity except name alone.
  2. Satanism is usually materialism and individualism with some earth undertones.
  3. Satanism is not common in the United States. At All.
  4. Satanism recently has been talked about more on its weird ritual abuse of children.
  5. The weird shit you're talking about is more of an occultism like that weird spirit cooking Jay Z, Hillary Clinton, Art Expo type shit.

Have you not researched the Temple of Set?

And why are you posting this to Conspiracy? The Church of Satan as others have said is basically orgies w/LARPing, beliefs materialistic and without any secrecy or conspiracy.

This is not the "Religion" practiced by those who seek power, theirs is not a religion at all, just bargaining with other dimensional beings, sacrificing their own souls for temporary power in this place, temporary as Their gifts are always a delayed posion, slowly sapping away their life force until they are no longer useful(See Bill and Hillarys current state of health).

All who seek power know this, a choice is always demanded of any who wield power, whether or not to abuse it for self gain or to forego such vain glories of men. There is no reward for being good with power, such is antithesis to power(See Stanford Prison Experiment) that I believe, is the test of this place.

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men." -Lord Acton

I remember one being built in the early 80's here in WV. Sure enough it was ran by jews from NY

Any church that preaches dispensationalism is heretical.

BoraxTheFungarian

What exactly does this mean in relation to religion. Is it that certain holy men are "allowed" to sin?

Tallest_Skil

Dispensationalism is the heresy within Christianity that jews are still “chosen” and aren’t evil. There are “degrees” of dispensationalist teaching. True Christian doctrine is often referred to as replacement theology.

Satanists claim not to believe in Satan or God. They are materialists and atheists. I don't know how there can be such a think as a Satanic church when Satanists don't believe in the existence of Satan.

Satan is the god of the earth, power given to him by the Christian God. It would make sense then to worship the material things of the earth. This is how they sell it these day's. I am quite sure the leaders know what theyre doing. Anyone with half a brain would realise they would be doomed if they worshipped satan. To believe in Satan as we know it, would be to also believe in the Christian god. So they spin it in a different way.

There are a lot of religions or things based upon the existing Christian lore. There are things like Satanism, and the Goetia, which was actually created by some cardinals in the Roman Empire, or jews.

Honestly I don't really understand most of the points some of these people are getting across that identify as satanists, it's almost just kind of like saying "I'm an anarchist" and yet they do things like go to walmart, and such.

Its all a misdirection or a manipulation on uneducated people. Like scientology. Anything to keep people from finding peace or truth.

I agree with this statement, there's a lot of information out there, but it's not what's inside all the time.

I definitely believe it's misdirection and manipulation, especially with all these spirit science nonsense that crops up all the time, kind of in-line with homeopathy remedies, a pentagram drawn in the sand isn't necessarily a higher calling, or studying and practicing a different set of gods/pantheon/etc isn't always the answer.

We could send Merkels Muzzies over to help.

They're called synagogues.

Conspirologist

Yes, but my OP is about the recently opened official Satanist churches.

elitch2

Maybe some links would be helpful. Not many people on the whole "watching for satanist churches" patrol, eh?

Conspirologist

That's right. I wish somebody could provide helpful links.

Here is what I find an interesting link: https://www.churchofsatan.com/nine-satanic-sins.php

Conspirologist
