[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not a troll post. I’m not a religious person so I have no, er… goat, in this fight.

Is there anything inherently wrong with people who worship Satan? Unless of course they actually sacrifice babies and drink their blood, but I haven’t heard any actual reports of that. In fact it sounds like other religions are far more keen on committing acts of terrorism. Satanists basically seem to just side with another team and embrace the punk anarchist vibe. None of that affects me in any way, but maybe religious people find something intrinsically wrong and offensive. If your religion is the right way, though, then you should have no worries about being outcompeted by the other side. That’s sort of why I never believed in religion in the first place…. One’s faith should be enough to believe that your religion is the right one, so why would it matter what others believe if essentially they’ll get what’s coming in the end anyway? [/quote]

OP I'm going to take your word for it that you're not a troll as this is an interesting question. I'm responding as an evangelical Christian.

Is there anything inherently "wrong" with people who worship Satan? Are you asking if there is something wrong with the people themselves, or the fact that they worship Satan?  I would say yes to both. There is something wrong with them in that they are inherently misguided and for some perverse reason, drawn to evil. There are plenty of people like this, as we know. Blame it on mental illness, drugs, trauma/ abuse, whatever, but yes, there is something wrong with wanting to "worship" the bad over the good.

And to the second part, what is wrong with worshiping Satan? Well, if you want to spend your life both here on earth and in the next in the figurative/ literal definition of Hell, then go ahead. Jesus Himself said that many will choose that path. I don't "worry" about people who don't believe as I do in the sense that I sit here and stew about it all day, but I am very sad for them. Yes, I have complete faith and belief that Christianity is the path to God and to eternal salvation. I don't see it as being "outcompeted" - Jesus has already won.[/quote]
