I don't know much about LaVeyan satanism, but I generally understood it being about selfishness. You, your goals and desires being most important. I don't see how that's incompatible with racism to be frank.

@alyx @Godcast CoS's Twitter account has always been more about propaganda than actual Satanism
@galena @alyx There's no such thing as "actual satanism." It's just being an obnoxious twat.
@Godcast @alyx There's no such thing as actual Christianity either.
@galena @alyx Lmao, no. But do try to start this argument with me, I could use a punching bag. Ive got a very boring day at work coming up.
@Godcast @alyx That isn't even what I said, please learn how to read.
@galena @alyx Then make your case that "there's no such thing as actual Christianity."
@Godcast @alyx What is "actual Christianity"? Catholicism, Protestantism, Branch Davidianism, etc, etc? Christians, and other critics of Satanism, are always quick to claim it isn't "actual Satanism" because it doesn't meet their preconceived notions of what "Satanism" is or because they don't respect other religions. LaVeyan Satanism isn't "devil worship" so it's typically dismissed as not being "actual Satanism" by detractors who have no knowledge whatsoever about the history of Satanism or what the term even means. It's simply choosing to wallow in ignorance because you dislike a group and therefore refuse to even bother trying to learn what it means of what it's about.

Look at Christianity. Look at how much infighting there is between different branches of Christianity. Catholics will proudly declare themselves true Christians then claim Mormons, 7th Day Adventists, etc, aren't real Christians. Protestants will do the same towards Catholics. And so on and so forth. Which one is the "actual Christianity"? Should someone who follows a different branch than you do just dismiss your entire religion as "not actual Christianity" just because yours doesn't meet their standards for what Christianity is? Do you follow the Bible word for word? Well, hey, maybe you've got the "wrong" translation - my preferred translation is the only real one that the "actual Christians" use, yours is wrong, and not "actual Christianity"! Do you see what this kind of logic does - it's poisoning the well, it's completely dismissing something outright just because you don't like it and because it's different. Not just dismissing it, but completely denying its existence, preferring to deny it entirely rather than even consider that it exists.

It's my understanding that the point is simply that "Satanists" don't actually worship "Satan", they worship themselves, so it's clearly a misnomer. The Christians you mention are not a good comparison because they ostensibly all still believe in Christ.
@KingDick @Godcast @alyx Which is a sign that you have no idea what Satanism is about or what the term even means.
@galena @KingDick @alyx Then your "religion" is so hopelessly vague as to be meaningless
@Godcast @KingDick @alyx t. person who refuses to even acknowledge its existence
@galena @alyx @KingDick Correct. You're either a retarded edgy libertine, or have aligned yourself with the definition of evil. Either way, whatever it is you believe deserves to be destroyed
@galena @alyx @KingDick "Whatever it is you believe deserves to be destroyed." Learn to read.
@Godcast @KingDick @alyx Oh is this one of those christcuck things where you pretend imaginary things are real?
@galena @alyx @Godcast @KingDick Great, yet another one of these wanna-be edge lord atheists. "Hur dur, your belief is fake because I was told it was by some YouTube Jew." When your cancerous self worship leads to your death, don't come crying to God.
@Darhk @alyx @Godcast @KingDick Christcucks always accuse everyone else of being edgelords in between fantasizing about everyone they don't like being tortured by a """benevolent""" and """loving""" god for all eternity.
@galena @alyx @Godcast @KingDick I hate to break it to you, but half the Bible is about God destroying unrepentant nations and sinful people. I don't revel in the fact that atheists will burn for all of time, but I will not let a self worshiping Jew talk crap about the one true faith.
@galena @alyx @Godcast @KingDick He's loving towards those who follow Him, just as a good father is loving towards well behaved children.
@Darhk @alyx @Godcast @KingDick You know that if you firebomb your neighbors house because he isn't raising his kid the way you're raising yours you'd probably get arrested or killed right?
@galena @alyx @Godcast @KingDick Which is why you wouldn't be able to get away with it, some 'god' you are. The God of the universe on the other hand can, and has in past done that.

Weirdest shit I've read in this thread... Apparently one attribute of a god is that it can get away with murder. Is Jack the Ripper a god?!

@alyx @galena @Godcast @KingDick What? Not only have you completely disregarded all the context for this conversation, but recontextualized it in the weirdest way possible. God, the one true creator of the universe disciplines people/nations through violence only when he had to, to say that Jack the Ripper is a god is not only stupid, but an intentional attempt to prevert the point I was making.
@Darhk @alyx @Godcast @KingDick Jack the Ripper only disciplined prostitutes for getting abortions, as God said to do
