A good friend of mine, a satanist, once told me that true satanists worship satan like christians worship god - that means no sacrifices, no blood rites, no pacts, no sexual relations during service, no inverted pentacles or crosses...none of that.

In the same tack, there are the "shock-factor" satanists who dress goth (not dissing any non-satanic goths who might be reading, btw), pervert the religious symbols of non-satanic religions like wicca and christianity, read the bible backwards and do everything else in reverse because "satan is the opposite of god, right?"

These have become the face of not only satanists as a sect, but also most of the pagan religions. You tell someone "I'm a witch" and they automaticly picture you standing next to a slain infant drinking the blood from a chalice while people have sex at your feet and snakes slither all around them.

Where did this image come from? That's one reason I chose to walk away from the christian path - I am not a satanist, real or otherwise, but I will never "return to christ's fold" Christianity has painted a face on anyone who doesn't follow christ and then bitch and moan when people point that and other mistakes out to them. The last witch to be burned for witchcraft was in 1952 - only 50 years ago for crying out loud.

The killings may have ended, but the lessons of the Mallus* remain - any who practice witchcraft are in league with satan and must be damned for their crimes. Get real. The pagan religions pre-date christianity by 2000 years... Just because a religion is "brand new" and "improved" doesn't make it right.

On a similar note, speaking of people from one religion perverting the practices of another, biblical scholors have shown that christ was born in mid-May...not december - why was his birthday moved to cover the pagan holiday of Yule, the trees that the druids brought in from the cold and decorated suddenly represent the wood of the cross, and many other pagan holidays suddenly given a christian twist?

I have read the bible - nowhere in the Easter scene does it mention ducks, eggs, chicks, and bunnies (all pagan symbols of fertility). Just all seems rather...convienent.

"But pagans worship satan" - yes, this is the pagan face...
