No, Hitler is offensive in general. Whether Satan is offensive depends on your believes. For me Satan is not offensive since he's only an imaginary person. And sorry, I refuse to be careful about using the name Satan just because you believe that he exists and causes harm to anyone. I have no problem with using the name Satan, extracting interesting side-meanings out of the concept and use them in a new context. If you find that offensive, too bad for you. Show me proof that Satan was involved in some major atrocities and I might reconsider.Hitler and Satan are both quite offensive in general
They are outcasts. Satan was struck down by God for pride. He rules hell for all eternity. I call that cool.1. Losers are not cool and Loki and Satan are both losers.
Now you're getting intolerant because there are in fact people who worship Loki, since he's a member of the Norse pantheon. Is it necessary to hold some really silly parts of your believe under your nose? Besides, destroying the world is certainly cool.2. Worshiping Loki is beyond idiotic, since he is destined to destroy the world and in the meantime is tied up in his son's intestines. Yeah, real cool mo'fo
That depends how you do it. BTW, you could in principle say that the whole concept of 'cool' is a bit childish, but that would be really uncool.3. Evil is not cool, that just sounds childish. If I kill your parents for no reason is that cool?
What's wrong with a negative basic premise? LaVey might in turn have argued with Nietzsche that Christianity is principially nihilistic. Or like Lovecraft said it "the puritans are the greatest devil worshippers because they condemn everything that is beatiful." Their opinion of course, but the point is if you oppose Christianity completely, than the concept of the antagonist of God might just be the archetype for you.No, I base my arguement on the idea that starting a religion to piss anyone off is a bad idea because it makes your basic premise negative.
