In this video, Bodie Hodge reveals the horrifying reality of Satanism; an active religion with about 100,000 adherents worldwide. Some Satanists teach Satan as the god figure while others teach a form of atheism using Satanic imagery. They are inconsistent within themselves and arbitrary at a foundational level.

ping to satanism
I like Bodie, he’s cool.
Don’t get me wrong, he’s a decent man. He’s very down to earth.
Satan is down to earth as well,he hit it like lightning.
Atheists are not Satanists. If you believe in Satan, by default you believe in an Abrahamic God.
I read what these people are saying is their religion and I don’t think they understand themselves.
They are Hedonists. But I think that’s beyond their comprehension as well.
Because Satan is evil and so are his followers.
Thanks I’ll watch this morning. The root of Satanism from what I’ve observed is worship of self will, “I’m my own god.” Better than real God, a luciferian delusion.

Yes, and oddly enough....supposedly “pretenda” Christians like Kenneth Copeland, Robin Bullock, Julie Green, Kat Kerr, etc. all teach their followers that they have god-like authority that they claim comes from God/Jesus.
So in essence, they’re teaching that you have the power of God over your life...which means you have god-like authority and takes the focus completely off of the Bible and puts it squarely on man, alone.
They teach the easily fooled that they can control things in their lives, including their health and the weather, by merely “declaring and decreeing” in the name of Jesus. It’s absurd, and has never been proven to be true...but that doesn’t stop their sublimely stupid followers from continuing to believe them.
With respect, the notion of an Abrahamic God is multifaceted, and I hesitate to use the adjective Abrahamic as the Left today wants to wrap Islam into three sisters, the others being Judaism and Christianity. I parse away Islam for my reading of the Koran.
The notion of a potentially winning Satan in any war with God mimics the age old "worship of Ahura Mazda in the context of a universal struggle between the forces of light and of darkness."
But the current crop of Western satanists claim not to be Zorastrian. They seem essentially anti-Christian. And filled with resentment against the Christian traditions. So they are a massive play act, a pretense and probably a symptom of Western collapse as they see it. The few with whom I have exchanged only words, these seem to e to be like the crop of today's transsexuals, deeply emotionally scarred and psychologically ill. Or/and scam artists atop the whole mess.
Best wishes.
Yes indeed
You are better attuned to this than I. I used Abrahamic because the whole God/Satan thing took place before the New Testament.
That said, your point is accurate. These folks think “Anti-Christian.” They think that because Christian beliefs require an amount of discipline that is clearly missing in today’s world.
They do not think in terms of “belief.” They merely tell you that ours are incorrect.
One heck of a fine observation. In a parallel structure of argument but within another discipline, do you recall Timothy F. Geithner, treasury secretary under Obama, saying in response to questioning about what he was supporting saying (paraphrase), "We don't have a proposal. What I am saying is we don't like what you are proposing."
It is so easy to complain while not proposing an actual and rigorous counter-proposal. Satan is a character in a far larger narrative, and in that narrative a "loser" over time. So today';s Satanists conveniently ignore the larger picture, because they cannot admit the game.
