Is it better to be the right hand of the devil than in his path?

[The_Doctor]

So, what do you think?

I am fairly sure I would kick the devil/evil forces all over the place.

And don’t lie to yourself, opposing the devil would not be an easy thing.

Good, I like challanges.

[AntiochusIII]

Depends on what way you want Sauron to be on your back.

[Keba]

What are you talking about ... I would be the devil they're talking about.

Or at least, I would be after I stabbed the real devil in the back and took his place.

[Orb]

Hm... from a theological viewpoint, I'd rather be in the way. Essentially, the Devil can't win, and being his right hand would put you on his side.

Yeah, it's a one horse race and its not a bet you want to lose, is it.

This is what always confused me about Satanists.

[whyidie]

If the devil existed that would give me a cause.

[Csargo]

Give me a dollar and I'll do almost anything.

[Don Corleone]

I'd oppose the devil, but frankly, I think I'd do so as diplomatically as I could, cause frankly, the scares me excrementless. I think as a good Christian, I'm called to oppose him with all my will and tell him what I really think of him, but frankly, i'm not sure I'm up to that kind of pain and suffering. Not to mention... porn is so damned hard to resist... It's a pity we can't just take the best of each party platform...

The thing is, God allows the devil and hell to exist, at least that's what they want you to believe, so he can't be pure evil in the way he's usually portraited, or alternatively, God really ain't all that good.

As for joining or opposing, I'm undecided, depends on what he's offering

[Samurai Waki]

Well if you consider hell to be a complete and total absence of God, I'm pretty sure we're all already in hell.

[master of the puppets]

i would be in his path, simply because satan is weak, in the bible it says he can't act unless god wills it, he lost the war for heaven he has'nt been succesful as far as we know in attempting to destroy the world and he can't hurt people directly.

quite frankly i would be more afraid of his followers. tho if given the chance to do all the havoc and destruction and murder of wicked at the apocolypse i would be on his side cause that would just be fun.

-heed our warnings!!! -pah whackoes

As Al picino says in devils advocate:

"consider the soarce"

I 've wondered about this before, why would you want to be a satanist ?
What reward lies before you ?
Do you get a heavenlike treatment in hell ?

Satanists don't believe in hell, I have read some of their views, it's not that bad, it is just individualism till the extreme. Basicly, anything that serves you and you alone is fair game, de Sade comes pretty close.

[Mithrandir]

I meant the people who actually worship satan and perform rituals to honor hmi etc.
