Satanic News

[The Architect Of Fate]

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.

According to the Wiki Article you linked they are religious satanists so yes they do believe in a objective Satan this contrasts heavily as symbol or a metaphor.
