Satanism as philosophy

[Husar]

Wigferth, "Satan" is just a word, ok? I know people who call their cat satan, does that mean it's the embodiment of evil? There are people who call themselves satanists. They don't worship the devil, they worship themselves. They don't believe that the devil is an actual existing entity, thus they can hardly worship. It's a bit stupid to worship something if you think it doesn't exist, don't you think? The reasons why they call themselves satanists are several. Mainly because they reject some Christian concepts and follow ideas that counter those. There are also occultistic things in it.

They don't go around and sacrifice virgins or something like that. They are mostly normal people. Some of them are bastards. It's no big deal.

You forget that occultism is like worshipping satan indirectly...

And basically being selfish is following satan in the christian view, just as rejecting christian values is. If they call themselves Satanists just to piss off christians, then they are following satan, wether they believe he exists or not. One of satan´s best strategies is making people believe he doesn´t exist.
It´s not like Chrisitans think that satan worshippers will rule hell together with satan, they will get all the pain and whatever else is in hell.
And telling me satanists have nothing to do with the "christian satan" and then telling me they call themselves satanists to piss off christians is just, weird and contradictory.

And btw I didn´t read all posts, I refuse to change my opinion regarding this anyway.
