This thread probably shouldn't be in a DIR - as it seems it has already sparked debate, would folks mind if I migrated it over to Same Faith Debates?
At any rate, I have little to say on this topic, because my thoughts on it are simple to convey. I view the term "fluffy bunny" as little more than an unnecessary pejorative on the same level as various ethnic/racial slurs. I'm relieved that the term has largely fallen out of fashion in the community, as well it should.
In general debate you mean. Satanist are no Pagans. The majority of Pagans do not regard them as Pagan. They can identify as Pagans but as Catholics as well. They are shape shifters.
Left Hand Path people are not limited to any tradition. They are deviants in various degrees as well as outcast from society whether it is Pagan, Abrahamic or any other society. The characters they worship are expelled from society for their antisocial behavior and punished. In their egocentric view they think they can define their own laws. "They take the law in their own hands".
The stories of Loki, Seth, Prometheus, Satan, Azazal are very similar. Take for instance what the dead sea scrolls write about Azezal:
Azazel is one of the leaders of the rebellious
Watchers in the time preceding the flood; he taught men the art of warfare, of making swords, knives, shields, and coats of mail, and women the art of deception by ornamenting the body, dyeing the hair, and painting the face and the eyebrows, and also revealed to the people the secrets of witchcraft and corrupted their manners, leading them into wickedness and impurity until at last he was, at Yahweh's command, bound hand and foot by the
archangel Raphael and chained to the rough and jagged rocks of [Ha]
Dudael (= Beth Ḥadudo), where he is to abide in utter darkness until the great Day of Judgment, when he will be cast into the fire to be consumed forever
This is the religion of people that are antisocial, revolt to society, any society. When these egocentric people manage taking over power society is in deep trouble. In Pagan traditions they had a very simple solution for such people: they were "outlawed", meaning they lost their protection from the law, and anyone could kill them. If you do not want to respect the traditions then you are no longer protected by the traditions. In the same way we should expel them from any other forum than their own. Some Christians love to see them active in the Pagan forum so they can continue to identify Pagans as devil worshipers.
Satanism can be called a "universal" religion because it does not limit itself to any tradition. That is why it is wrong to identify it with Pagan traditions. There is nothing Pagan about Satanism that is just Christian propaganda. They easily take any tradition and corrupt it, whether they abuse Pagan symbols or use Christian crosses upside down.
Civil society allows these people a space, we call it the "underworld". But it is always a bad thing when the underworld starts mixing itself with civil society. Than the whole of society gets corrupted. We do not want them to lure young people into their perverted practices. That is why we have police and law and order.
These people seek the hidden and the secret. The live in the undergrowth like snakes, the dark side. They can not be trusted as they hide their true intentions. In public they will deny any wrongdoing, so they can continue doing those things outside of "the light" of the public eye. Basically when they try to lure people from the upper-world to seek victims. They are part of any society, part of Nature. But not part of the traditions People try to upheld. It is foolish to give them a voice, because the public interest is not on their mind. "It is do as thou whilst".
I hope moderators will start taking their responsibility and keep Satanists out of the Pagan DIR. Otherwise their policy smells like Abrahamism trying to slander Paganism. Some Christians expressed here that took part in Demon worship that they considered Pagan. The Pagan forum is no place for Abrahamics or Satanists or Middle Eastern religions or whatever, just the revival of pre-Christian European traditions. And these societies were not evil, barbaric, satanist or whatever. They had strong taboos around Magic. A healthy society can not be based on hidden practices or lawlessness.
Here I want them out and I am not going to debate with these people in the same faith faith area. I protest to this Abramic insult.
Have to say, it's been a while since I've seen this topic discussed. I didn't think folks were even still using the term.
