Dave - Just a Man in the Mountains.
I am a Humanist. I believe in a rational philosophy of life, informed by science, inspired by art, and motivated by a desire to do good for its own sake and not by an expectation of a reward or fear of punishment in an afterlife. |

You may not think there is no such thing as an exciting bible lesson and Ken may not think there is such a thing as an exciting bible lesson and even I might agree with you and Ken. However the Christian teachers and the Christian Students may think there is such a thing as an exciting bible lesson.
I don't mind that you "peeked" at my profile. The only thing that I "mind" is that I can't "peek" at your profile.
Just another point, if you look at my profile it says I am a female. If you look at my picture I would be one ugly looking female! And perhaps a slightly less ugly male.
To be accurate a pagan is anyone who is not a Christian, Jew or Muslim. While Chrisitans, Jews, and Muslims may "believe" in Satan they don't "worship" Satan. I also doubt that very, very few Satanist would call themselves Christians, Jewish, or Muslim. But I am still interested in knowing wether you, Ken or anyone else have heard of "The Good News Club". I would also be willing to bet more than a dollar that you and Ken do not think it is "Good" News. By the way did you notice my birthday on my profile? |

Yes and no. Satan is exclusively Abrahamic. And even though Pagan generally means anyone not Christian, Jew or Muslim, Not Abrahamic in general. There is no Satan outside those beliefs. Pagans have no such being, whether demi god, god or just as the Jews have him a servant of the Abrahamic god. A Satan worshipper is still a member of the Abrahamic, just another denomination. Worshipping a different divinity. Just as Christians follow Jesus as a god or demi god. And Islam and Judaism do not. Satanism is more a branch off Christianity and perhaps, even Islam. Since Satan is not really an independent power in Judaism. It could be listed (in no particular order) Judaism, Christianity,Islam, Satanism. All Abrahamic. Basing their ideas on single starting point, and moving outward. Not trying to be nit picky or insulting in anyway. The only reason my profile is hidden is because I am internet paranoid. If you had been able peek, you would find I am Pagan. Specifically a Green Witch. similar in some ways to Druidism, but not quite close enough to be able to use the name. Oh and I am female. :) I have three cats, one small dog. That keep me busy. Other then that I am quite dull.
A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side. Aristotle

I do not want to digress of the topic of this thread. I do not believe that you nor other members of the different "crafts" worship Satan. As to the birthday on my profile it is June 6, 19660-06/06/66. Everything in the profile, except for the picture is fiction. Or a lie. |
