[Fake Messiah]

Let's just say that if your next door neighbor starts putting Satanist symbols on his front porch, you should proceed with caution. 

Funny, I’ve alway felt the same way with xian trumpgod flags and nativity scenes 

You people snap and shoot others up

Belacqua is a bigot who claims that all the Satanists are the same as some fringe group.

Maybe...just maybe...they should not allow any religious displays on government property.

[MR. Macabre 666]

I was wrong when I said that American Satanists were all harmless cos-players.

A few years ago I saw a documentary about American Satanists who gave that impression. They were just liberals who thought it was clever to poke Christians in the eye. The kind of people who think the characters on the Big Bang Show are role models.

Recently however, I've learned that there are active groups of self-described Satanists who are a lot worse. They spread accelerationist and Neo-Nazi ideology on line. Some of them have been around for a long time. There is overlap with Incel groups who blame everyone else for their loser status. Some of them go on line to encourage young people to harm themselves or others. These are bad people.

It looks as though the most recent school shooter --- the young woman who shot up the Christian school -- was influenced by these people. This is just speculation at this point. Nor do I have any idea whether the Satanists who put up the statue at city hall are mixed up with the Neo-Nazi types. I don't know.

Let's just say that if your next door neighbor starts putting Satanist symbols on his front porch, you should proceed with caution.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Nine_Angles

The Order of Nine Angles doesn't have any connection to TST, The Satanic Temple, who put up the display that some religious fuck'tard's destroyed. They(we) are recognized as an official religious organization, and are supposed to be given the same rights as any/all of the other christian denominations are. 
Even if that means mocking and/or humiliating christianity, judaism, or islam. They apparently can't deal with anyone who won't follow their doctrines, and dares to say otherwise. 
The losers who did this are nothing short of cowards.

Thank you -- you clearly know more about these groups than I do. 

I'm glad to hear that the American group isn't related to the Nine Angles. They seem like a nasty bunch. 

Two questions, if you happen to know: 

Do the Nine Angles people believe in a real Satan, or do they use the name as a kind of symbol? 

And am I correct in thinking that your group uses the name as a symbol or mascot, but doesn't hold to the idea that there's a real Satan out there? Like no one is asking for favors from an evil demon or anything. 

As I think about it, I recall that there's a good precedent here. Some of the great English Romantic poets saw Satan as a kind of tragic hero, much like Prometheus. They held him up as a symbol of justified rebellion against authority. Though they seem to have gotten their image of Satan more from Milton than from Christian orthodoxy. 

Blake, as usual, was unique. Since he saw God as the state or condition of infinite awareness, he defined Satan as the opposite -- a near-total condition of opacity. Humans could aspire to the condition of God, but, he thought, often fall to the condition of Satan.

‘Unique’ is a very charitable term. What Blake was, was teetotal fucknuts crazy.
