That is not what a satanist is, you cannot make up a definition of satanism and use it to insult people in that way. So let's just say for argument's sake I was a monk who lived in practical isolation, living a life clean of any impurities (drug-related, sexual, or otherwise) and had never harmed another living thing in my life, but I took on a student and did not teach him about the teachings of Jesus Christ. Would that make me a satanist? I realize that's a horrible argument, but so is making up your own definition for a very controversial and well-discussed word such as satanist.
I've known a few satanists, not those who sacrifice virgins to create the Antichrist, but the ones that just live their lives the way they want to and let others do the same. Guess what, they were all better people than the fundies I've known.
