I don't believe Lifetime or Moni are launching personal attacks against you. Don't get me wrong, I understand your anger. I feel the same way when similar statements are made about Christianity (and as Cloudy pointed out to Neb there have been some seriously harsh comments directed at Christians and their faith in several General Discussion threads).
Back to the point, though. Lifetime and Moni are explaining the Christian perspective regarding Satanism. As I mentioned earlier, ANY religion that doesn't focus on God is (technically) a pagan or "satanistic" religion from a Christian POV.
Satan is the Master of Lies and Deceipt. God actually came down to earth every single day and walked in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve. He gave them a paradise setting and only 1 Rule to follow. But, even though they literally walked with God every day, Satan was able to tempt them into breaking the 1 Rule God had established.
Satan is a fallen angel, but he is still VERY powerful. His greatest power is spreading confusion, doubt, and cynicism about Christianity through trickery and deceipt. Like I said before, Satan doesn't care if you openly worship him....just so long as you DON'T worship God. That's all he cares about.
Again, I fully understand - and respect - the fact that you don't believe this account to be true. I take no offense at that and I don't beleive any offense is meant towards you by the others.
They are simply presenting thier perspective on Satanism in general based on thier belief system.[/QB]

Have you ever thought that going around stating the presumption that god most defaintly exists and implying that anyone who does not believe in Christianity is either an agent of, or under the sway of a being of pure evil is rather harsh to anyone who does not believe in Christianity?
I mean surely that is disrespectful & intolerant towards their beliefs no matter your intentions?
