I must concur. Does all of the universe belong to Satan, therefore? Or just the study of it? Inquiring minds...

Well, the ancient people to whom we now refer as ‘Gnostics’ thought that the material universe WAS the creation of a ‘lesser’ god; and that there was a Supreme God who could be reached by realising that this ‘world’ is an illusion, and learning to see through it via inner spiritual development.

I don’t think they meant that literally in the way that we might take it; but so far, it has unnerved me just as the double-slit has done - because I don’t think those old Gnostics were stupid guys, and I don’t think our modern physicists have been stupid, either.

Misunderstanding is one of the great enemies of mankind.

I was talking about actual satanic rituals.
