Many seem to think that Satanists are simply people that worship Satan voluntarily and practice witchcraft. However, that is wrong. I would like to widen the definition of "Satanist" to all those who do not accept Christ. As Luke 11:23 says, all those who are not with Christ are against Him. By not accepting Christ, one supports Satan, regardless of whether he/she knows it or not. Every rejection of Christ grows Satan stronger.
Jews and Muslims think they oppose Satan, although they are actually supporting him by not following Christ. Members of non-Abrahamic religions and non-religious people lack a belief in Satan, although they are actually supporting him by not following Christ.
Not accepting Christ as the Savior is showing support to Satan, and supporting Satan is what Satanists do.
What have you got against Santa?
just leftists
Kill the infidels, eh?
Good grief.

Assuming you are even reading this thread and are not a post and run-ner : You didn’t get the response from the “religious fanatics” on FR that you expected and thought you could point and laugh at with your leftist buddies, did you?
Welcome to FR, have a nice flight back to DU.
Codswallop!
Mods, please don’t ZOT! Leave it as an example of religious idiocy.
Athought using the term “satanists” is a bit over the top, the bible makes clear that those not chosen for salvation in Jesus Christ are following the desires of and under the power of Satan. Eph 2:1-10
>>> All non-Christians are Satanists
And then there are those of us who are mildly dyslexic. In a very embarrassing mishap I accidentally sold my soul to Santa.
Christ took a slightly different approach when speaking to Samaritans, Romans, and Jews. It was effective. Perhaps you should consider Christ and how he spoke to non-believers and shared the truth with them.

No, no, no, by not being muslins we are all satinists. Except for the silks but most of them live in India.
How do I know that you’re not Satan...by replying to you I could in fact be engaging in a Saanic ritual.
Oh well..I guess hell awaits us both. Enjoy the ride....

Saying that someone is not for Jesus is not the same as saying that one is for Satan.
The scripture being cited, in this context, is also ignoring the following:
Matthew 12:31-32 (New International Version) — And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.
This is Jesus directly relating to the heart; if one ascribes evil/lies to the Holy Spirit then they have utterly shut the Holy Spirit out and consigned themselves to Hell because they credit God with all evil. *That* is the doctrine of Satanism and to ascribe *that* doctrine to everyone [by default, as there is man’s sin nature that causes him to be born in to sin.] only serves to weaken and degrade the strength/meaning of the word “Satanism.”
You seem to buy into the fire and brimstone technique of the Old Testament. Try cracking open the New Testament. It has a brighter more joyful message... and delivery.
What is a christian?..
