Well the present assumption is to paint satan as being full of tortures and violence... but what you see is often a christian that goes hay-wire and murders someone rather atrociously... then a large group of christians get a bad feel about that person and they immediately call it satanic... to distance themselves from something scary and unpleasant. In other words we shouldn't paint satan with pre-concieved notions, especially here in America where christians have a stranglehold on the media and people's ordinary perceptions... we're all smarter than that... and it may take some time before a new enlightenment arrives.huajiro said:Isnt Satan supposed to be purely evil? I have had friends who were Satanic and they only worshipped Satan, that is all they did. I would think that just as someone who believes in the Christian "God" might strive to emulate Jesus, the Satanists would strive to emulate Satan, and therefore would try to promote vices, violence, pain, suffering, etc.
If this is the case, why don't you hear about the KKK or skinheads being Satanic, or any other such groups?
Don't Muslims in the Middle East still trample and kill each other to this day to throw rocks at giant statues of "satan" during one of their holidays? I hope he looks like those statues because man I'd hate to think they were killing each other in the frenzy over nothing.Allah created us, not shaitan. Also, I'm thinking that picture doesn't show him as a fireball or something.

No, wrong again. The pentacle isn't about nature it's about religion. It's just not about ignorance which is why the ignorant know nothing of it.
