“It’s good to be offended because it makes you think” Why is this the best quote I’ve heard in years. Hey hey stop fighting in the comments this is my opinion and you’re just proving my point . Thanks.
I like how he says it may make you question your religion, and I’m ab that energy. How are you going to strengthen your beliefs if you never challenge them? Idk much ab satanism, but from what I understand I ain’t ab satanic rituals and that stuff but questioning beliefs is a good thing so I’ll side with him on that.
@@thomascromwell6840 Satan is a job, lucifer is a title and the devil is another person altogether. Bible calls Jesus Lucifer in the Latin translation.
Yeah, except I don't need to read a book on Satanism to understand my faith. Jesus is the way, thr truth, and the Life and no one comes to the Father, except through Him. Satan knows this too, which is why he would love for us to confuse ourselves with everything else under the sun. Satan is not anti religion, he is Anti-Christ. There is a huge difference between the two
@@jenipherdove763 Absolutely a valid point! I don't think it's a good idea to read the texts of other religions, I more meant that we should know our Bible well enough to have the answers to these questions. Biblical illiteracy is rampant, and that's why, in my opinion, there are so many lukewarm Christians.
@@jenipherdove763no, but you should read the Bible, that would get you confused as you would have to defend things that are pretty much impossible to defend
I highly respect that. He’s basically saying to believe whatever you want, but to at least be informed and knowledgeable about what you do and don’t believe in.
you could be a satanist anyway, they don’t worship satan, they just are selfish people. for CLARIFICATION i was tired and i had cold thumbs while typing this comment originally, i had also forgotten a lot about the full interview. with that being said, stfu… please
@@enthusiasticallydrymodern satanism as a movement is a counter to things like the mormon and jw cults for example sect indoctrination in general. Its embracing equality freedom and rational thought. Tons of perfectly nice satanists. Now the satanic church itself is pretty questionable
@@enthusiasticallydry I'd argue more egotistical in a sense, but as a Christian I'm still open to hearing about everything even if I disagree with aspects of things It's more of a worship of themselves and their desires, and not letting things get in the way of their extreme high value of self But I do understand that it was a summary
@@austinlikebraves It is an expression of self love and it is as this guy describes anti-relligion relligion. I think you should watch thr whole interview on his channel where he answers and explains
Not really. I don't have to know the ins and outs of child marriage, for example, to be against it. Ppl have opinions they're not qualified to give all the time
I truly started to question my faith when in middle one of my atheist friends asked "why do you believe in god?" But l couldn't answer. That's when l actually started questioning till l finally realized, l wish to believe because lve been brought up in a VERY religious family and adults all around me would tell me they are real and well because l was so young l just didn't question it , adults are always right right? I have now seen that even tho l hope they're real lm not going to stop my life for them nor am l going to say my accomplishments are because of some outside entity. I did my actions and lm allowed to do what l want without worrying if everything l do is going to be judged in like 60 years. We only have one life and we shouldn't spend it constantly being nervous. ( Just don't kill someone and your prob good ngl 👁👄👁 oh yeah also dont put your milk before cereal that will get ya real quick)
@@XrayTheMyth23 oh any thing could start the process; For me the question was "if god is so merciful and all knowing, why would he punish Satan in the first place? He created Satan to worship him..if god didn't wanted Satan to feel jealous to a human he should not have given him the feelings of jealousy... afterall god is merciful so he should have understood his worshipper's misery... And if Satan did got jealous..it means that god wanted him to get jealous.. So in the end . it's god who is responsible for the evil and not Satan" Just wishful thinking.... But believers think the alternative to theism is just hopeless nihilism..but i think if human beings for once believe that there's no superior power which is incharge of us...that will mean that we are incharge of the ecosystem...that means we have to be kind to eachother because we are only here for the short time and we only have eachother since we don't have any magical being to depend upon ...But i don't think everyone is able to understand that much accountability and have that much hope in humanity... Hence religion.. And i completely understand. . But i also believe that since we live on a rock floating in a endless void...we should rather be kind to eachother before the sun expands..engulfing the solar system or an unexpected black hole swallows galaxy. Although i believe in god (for the sake of hope) I do believe in something. I just don't believe in organised religions.... There are hundreds of them... Which one is the correct one? Who knows? religion in the recent era has done more harm than good...and sometimes even stopped progress so..yeah I mean if not that we should atleast update religion so that it doesn't cause harm the name of good...
Proof your faith was weak how easily it became uprooted, an oak tree can stand a hurricane if the roots go deep enough. People have lost their house, cars, wives, children, jobs, minds, money ECT and still believed in God fully and utterly, you get asked why and you spiral in to a while Collab arc? You NEVER had faith, you were just religious you were ALWAYS faithless
@@caoilte8097 most aethiests I know left religion while trying to prove their faith and research it. Its easy to believe something you dont research. Once you see the cracks, you cant look away because there MUST be a reason. In the end, the answer is just...because we didnt know, and some men figured out that they could control countries with an outrageous story and use that lack of knowledge against people.
@@caoilte8097 Only 20% of Americans have ever read any part of the Bible. If he has read it more then once cover to cover I don't find his claim far fetched. Especially as a good chunk of Christians is illiterate outside of the West.
(I’m not usually the type to edit thanking for likes or anything like that, but I just wanna give a shout out to all the legends in my comments who are able to discuss subjects of this caliber without resulting to foul language or hate speech. You guys truly give me a bit of hope in humanity.) He makes some valid points. If humanity never questioned a thing we’d still be stuck without fire, or the wheel, or things that we genuinely take for granted today. Now before all my Christian brothers or brothers from whatever religion you may hail from decides to hop down my throat let me say this. I’m not saying you’re beliefs are wrong, I’m not saying that you’re blind, I’m not saying anything of the like. BUT what I am saying is that knowledge always evolves from curiosity. Don’t be afraid to question. God, or your god (again this goes for all religions) surely won’t condemn you for the basic human desire to know things. ONE MORE TIME, believe your beliefs, hold you’re ideals close, that’s your choice but please keep an open mind to the world around you and don’t suppress the urge to know something even if it goes against your ideals.
I ain't reading allat Edit: I read all of it, and you are somewhat right. How I see it is everything is carefully made by god. Like how we humans have veins, nerves etc as long as the distance between the earth and the sun going and back and yet they do not get tangled up. Even when we move. If that isn't enough to prove that God actually exists then you need to really questions everything around you. Similar to how we are talking on a phone which was carefully created, by a human who was also carefully created to make such decisions and have the thinking ability of what goes where and how did it come to existence. I find religion a really interesting thing, when you think of it in a certain way.
@@Owl69699 fair enough. Summary, don’t be afraid to question things. Curiosity is a staple of humanity. Your religion surely won’t condemn you for asking questions, and if they do..rethink you’re beliefs.
I’m a Muslim , yea we don’t get condemned to be curious and question , we are actually encouraged to question and seek Knowledge, in fact seeking knowledge is kinda mandatory, you’ll see many Islamic scholars not only study the Islamic religion but many spend countless hours studying the bible and Torah as well. Basically I don’t need to be a self renowned satanist to do all these things , it’s literally just human nature to do so but to associate yourself with Satan has some sort of metaphor for anti religion does nothing but make it seem that you’re trying to antagonise those who are associated with such religions where satan is seen has the embodiment of evil.
@@Buccallmann456000 question dont equal a single doubt, but also he is worshipping the devil, and or himself and if you actvas you are god you worship the devil anyway.
@@Buccallmann456 pretty much what I said. Again, I don’t share his beliefs but even Hitler made valid points from time to time (Maybe not during WW2 but you get the idea)
Most satanists are not even devil worshippers. Most are atheist. Satan must be appreciated for keeping the holy gates clean, Satan must be appreciated for the duty that [variable gender based on beliefs] has taken on. Demons may be beautiful too.
The way I was raised to be Christian was knowing that the Bible may be divinely inspired, it was still written by man, and we must follow the word of God. The word of God may mean many different things to everyone else. To read the entirety of the holy book and say "I must follow this to a T" or to say that because something in it is horrible, there for the religion is horrible would be foolish. That goes both ways though meaning not everyone should have religion forced onto them.
Well, it's not even written by one man but rather many men, as well. Then the books were locked behind the ability to read latin, as many people could not read. And finally translated to other languages, so honestly, it may be best not to follow it to a T as you said.
Fr. There's no way I'll believe the god I want to follow supports the harm of another person. Leaving my religious bubble just lead to me practicing it in a more accepting and kind way
Legit as a religious person this is the best advice. If you can't answer why you believe you need to read and challenge your faith otherwise how can you say you believe. That doesn't mean you should or need to have all the answers but you should at least be able to discuss why for you the answer to that question isn't as important or realize why it's important and you need to search for it
Agree. Basically no one ever mentions that god said that slavery is okey and gave rules for it in christianity, judaism and islam (king of kings speech and 40+ quran and hadith verses). Or that islam demands the extortion and expulsion/murder of non-believers and gays, and that it explicitly encourages the enslavement of blacks and the extermination of jews. Or all the forced marriage and rape stuff. Or the retarded ways of thinking about the world which were stupid even in their own times these were written (like the single continent flat earth or the split moon).
@@potatoman7037cause he is smart and honest, you may not like his religious beliefs, but he makes a great point. Educating yourself about other religions is clue to actually follow any faith. How can you be sure yours is the right one if you haven’t informed yourself about what other people have to say about it?? You are only looking at it from your own perspective, that’s not the way to learn and grow.
Two of the biggest enemies of Christianity are compulsory education and the internet. Once you learn about what actually went on in the Bible, You going to have to reevaluate the whole religion thing. Psalms 137:9
As a Christian I agree. What harm is there? Learn all you can and if your faith stands strong then well you know what to do. We are all given choice. Just show love and it’ll see it through. ❤
Yeah, for example did you know god created the Sun on the 4th day? You know, 3 days after daylight, and one day after plants. And he did this 4000 years after humans built the Stonehenge, which was used to measure the annual cycle of the Sun, and stars which were made exactly for measuring time (and which btw were made a day before the Sun, because the Sun is apparently not a star). Also the sky is a dome resting on the sea, and the whole world is made up of a single landmass. Snow, ice and tornadoes do not exist, those are just the tricks of Satan. Dinosaur bones too were just a practical prank played by bored british people globally. Also magic is real.
This is why i love Anthony he will do these interviews with different people and he doesn’t give out his opinion even if its rude bc you know in some of his videos you can tell on his face hes like “wtf is wrong with this person” but wont say anything. Love you Anthony
There’s a belief I have from reading the story of how the son of the Morningstar, the actual name of Lucifer who in later years was turned into “the devil” by the Catholic Church, is that the Morningstar’s fall from grace was caused by his love of humans. He became “corrupted by sin” as he began to feel human emotions and began loving humans for how fallible they are. To me that says his fall from grace was because he cared for humans. Only more backed as any story of an angels arrival is stated with them pretty much saying “please stop screaming.” to the mere sight of them. Yet the Morningstar is taken in and loved by humans thus it shows he’s meant to walk with humanity even if he’s a divine being but angels aren’t. Seraphim are meant for the land of the dead. That’s how I see it at least. Anyone who is offended by this I want to hear why I’m wrong or what I could be wrong about. Teach me why you think I’m wrong but not just because you’re offended. Doesn’t mean I’m wrong it means I made you question yourself and you didn’t like it
@Super Vegito I do not think that you are wrong the one thing i want to put more . I do not remember where i read it but jesus say he was also the morning stars i just gonna check and come bad.
16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”. Revelation 22 16.
Incorrect he fell do to his hatred of humans and Lucifer sinned against God and dare to say “Non serviam!” (“I will not serve!”)? Because of pride (Isaiah 14:12-14, Ezekiel 28:17, Proverbs 16:18) and envy (Wisdom 2:24 - But through the devil's envy death entered the world, and those who belong to his party experience it). Lucifer was prideful of his high status, power, wisdom, and beauty, but what he had was not enough for he wanted to be adored and worship like God. Therefore, he did not want to be second to God in honor and so he chose to not serve his Master. Somehow, this rebellious idea of not serving God then appealed to the other angels who sided with Satan.
@@Spartacus3075 because God had stupid ideals and was worse than Lucy anyway destroying a world because he didn't like it then restarted it like we were his darn ant farm!
@@MrsCzarnaDemolka I mean, sure? I guess? But then again you could say the same thing with atheism. Like myself I don't believe in any god and common sense dictates to see the bigger picture
religion doesn’t matter to me. i’m personally a satanist but most of my friends are christian an i don’t care. they can believe what they want and i can believe what i want.
As a Diabolist, I concur. Also, if your “faith” is founded on dogmas and tells you that only your imaginary friend in particular is valid, and everyone who has other ideas is evil, that’s not a healthy thing to pollute your mind with.
Agreed. I was raised as a Methodist, but I think society should be encouraged to study all texts. While there are similarities in some religions, they all have their own history, own philosophies, and own stories.
Depends on if its theistic or atheistic. Theistic worships Satan as the Bible describes him, but atheistic is just a way to rebel against the religious establishment. Just freedom and cookies.
I've practiced occultism for 10 years. I laugh at anyone who thinks they've figured out this world and reality. We know nothing and can never know everything. So practice humility and being humble. Help people around you. Never push your belief or faith onto others
I will not believe anything related to gods and demonic beliefs that humans have created in books, whether it be righteous or sinfulness. A mindless sheep will follow fantasy books or scrolls. I simply cannot comprehend that a being with powers far above us, would protect and even giving power to its believers.
@@ygx6 if anything we are attached to everything when we were atoms, after we die our bodies slowly turns to dust after thousands of years returning to the earth. Why must we adhere to commandments or a religious belief
This is not the point of believing god. Even if he is not real. Believing and having faith in him makes him real. He helps us be moral. The Bible helps with this. What I’m trying to say is believing in him is supposed to be positive.
At the part where he says, when we feel offended, we question our faith. I don’t question my faith I feel stronger at my faith, knowing that I don’t represent evil.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
This man looks like he turns around on a spinny chair, interlocking his fingers with a cat in his lap, telling you his evil plot to take over the world
Actually this is strengthening my faith. It’s making me so, so thankful that I was raised the right way and I never strayed too far from my savior.I can see with my literal eyes the insanity and messed up reality of these people. I mean look at the last words of the guy who created satanism, even he realized how bad of a choice it was.
Spoiler warning, to all those who haven't read the Bible yet. Why would you pick the side that loses, if you read the Bible Satan loses at the end and you all sit in the lake of fire. You are literally picking this side that loses, and from my dealings with the devil you'd lose a lot. If someone who has seen Satan face to face we used to summon up demons as if I was just calling a friend, you'd lose a lot of yourself in the worst way possible, coming back to reality and letting go of it was probably the hardest thing to do because I was constantly looking over my shoulder that is how bad it gets the deeper you're in. The devil is real whether you believe in him or not, because he believes in you.
As a Christian I give respect to his answer. Everyone deserves their individuality wether it’s disagreed with publicly or not (excluding things that are widely hated such as CP,grape, etc)
I'm not religious and have never believed in any god but I grew up in a religious place, and from what I read and heard I think Satan wasn't actually that bad and maybe the bible didn't tell the whole story, like how do we know god didn't treat Satan horribly which is why he rebelled
Considering most people believe god is all powerful and all knowing, he either created satan to do exactly what he wanted, or he knew exactly what satan would do if he did make him. If you ask me, both are the same thing and god is truly the evil one.
@@MrBoredinthedormGod created Satan like an every Angel he has created but Satan wanted to be more powerful than God and Satan always messed around so God punished him and threw him to hell
THANK you! You're absolutely right. We're not sacrificing goats and children and such lmaoo we just get a terrible rep from Anton LaVey. The Satanic Temple DOES NOT claim him as a Satanist and neither do I!
You know… it really depends. I’ve met good Christians, bad Christians but sadly the only satanist I met in person was very, very bad in a sense that he truly believed “material things were above human rights” and “people should just die”. But the guy in the video looks a cool human though!
It's pretty sad knowing that many Christians who don't actually force their religion on other people are getting grouped in with selfish and closed minded people simply because believing in the same religion somehow automatically makes us a bad person
@@jackals1876 i get where youre coming from but christians have a reputation for a reason you know? like. not all christians but we dont know which ones and theres enough bad ones for it to be a problem. obviously generalization is usually bad and should be avoided, and people shouldnt assume all members of a group are the same. but also it feels like walking through a minefield
Maybe but imo they believe in ridiculous sky magic just like Christians do, only with an extra twist of edginess and trying to be different. Say what you will about Christianity’s (MANY) faults, but at least there’s a sense of sincerity in their reason for their chosen religion.
That's so true. In my religion Ibrahim was a prophet who questioned everything and god gave gim answers. We were taught to educate ourselves as much as possible and ask and learn
Had a very heated, and super unprofessional, talk about faith with a client. Obviously I apologized after about continuing the conversation as she brought it up. Which she also apologized thinking it made me uncomfortable, which it didn’t, but I was just glad we agreed to disagree. It’s just weird how telling her my relationship with god/faith made her only respond to the first half of my journey. Not how it has helped build me up and set me on a path I am proud of. What’s wild is that it was the SAME FAITH!!😂
I find it baffling that most satanists say the dont believe in or worship the devil when worshipping the devil is literally just denying the existence of God and doing whatever you want Thats how you worship the devil Literally
Non serviam! I will do my part to improve the lives of others, I will not bow my head to the False God Jehova, nor to his "son" who rots in the ground! There is no God, and yet I still try to live a good life. I will not go to heaven by deeds alone, yet I do the good work anyways.
Choosing to live in faith doesn’t necessarily mean choosing to live in ignorance, but that guy has a point about people being quick to defend what is spoon fed to them
@@PintoBean1969 What's the difference between a devil not believing that God is all powerful, all knowing and all seeing and a satanist or atheist believing that God is also not all powerful, all knowing and all seeing? Nothing
This guy honestly leaves a good taste in my mouth. I am a atheist myself and we need this guy as a Satanist spokes person instead of a Christian spokes person.
I would also add, since Satanism is a Pagan based religion as well, to read up on the different Pagan beliefs and as well as literally any other religion since Satan is also seen in literally every other religion, what's one of the best things to read on though is Egyptian beliefs since that's where it started as far back as I know of. Read the different bibles, read on different religions and read on different subtypes of religions.
As a Christian, I agree. Especially people who are born into Christianity. You can’t claim you’re the right religion, when you haven’t even done your research on other religions! Learn about other traditions and so on! That’s what I’ve been doing lately.
Every satanist and atheist and agnostic will always tell you to read the Bible or whatever your belief is structured on because their entire belief is based on an understanding and questioning of the original belief like the bible
