    Kind of funny how fundies always say that atheists, famous for NOT believing in deities, are satanic and yet zionists who act a hell of a lot closer to what I’d personally describe as “satanic” get a pass. Like coming after someone with horrible attacks for defending children currently being genocided is some real demon-like behavior.

      Satan is the character in the book who gets punished for standing up against the arbitrary authority of god, so it’s actually 100% consistent. Mix into that that many Christian Zionists believe that Zionism is the thing their god wants and any arbitrary exercise of authority to get it is justified and you can see how the targets of their labels of “satanism” are those standing against it.

      What is the fundamental principle of the [LaVeyan] Church of Satan? They tell you this, it’s on their website, I myself saw it from a documentary we watched in church.

      It’s “self-worship”, yes, correct.

      Can you not see how one would perceive all of these suburban evangelicals as some of the most self-worshipping people of all time? Do you see how so much of this is empowered by the Protestant tradition?
