Satanists on Eurovision 2021

Fury over 'blasphemous' Eurovision song choice in Cyprus: Pop tune 'El Diablo' sparks protest over lyrics 'pledging life-long devotion to Satan' 

The title of 'El Diablo' as well as its lyrics - 'I gave my heart to el diablo...because he tells me I´m his angel' - have touched a raw nerve with some in the east Mediterranean island nation, who consider it to be fraught with Satanic connotations. 

According to the Cyprus News Agency, an association representing theologians who teach in high schools expressed their 'disgust' over the song and called for it to be withdrawn because it 'pledges life-long devotion and professes love for Satan.'

The agency also reported the broadcaster received threatening phone calls that 'it would be burned down' because of the song.

The far-right ELAM political party issued a statement saying even if the song's lyrics are metaphorical, it 'attacks and insults our faith in a shadowy way.'

See the song if you are not afraid of burning in Hell



teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Ironically, that song plays on an infinite loop in satan's playground.

I really hate being insulted in a shadowy way.

And it's another demonstration of Christians openly persecuting other religions while at the same time claiming that they are the ones being persecuted. There is no end to their hypocrisy and bigotry.

This woman didn't offend them, she just proclaimed her love for her God, and Christians would no doubt burn her alive if there weren't institutions like Human Rights Watch, UN, and similar.

I think Cyprus has bigger things to address than song lyrics.

If they don't like the song then they don't have to listen to it!

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups
