Yeah, ok . . . if you say so :rolleyes:

Yes "Satan is a powerful and primordial archetype of man's psyche" Satan represents a deeply powerful and ancient symbol within the human mind. I do believe in something like a soul, but probably not how you do.

Being a Satanist I can tell you there is no Satan other than the metaphorical one, just like any other god, devil, demon, ot angel Scripture is fiction Satan has always existed, only under other names and guises, Satan is a powerful and primordial archetype of man's psyche . . . a meme, or...

Who is "they"? None of this superstition has anything to do with Lucifer or Luciferianism or The Western Left Hand Path. Where did you get this idea from? Modern Luciferianism is about the Morning Star archetype, a lesser deity that attempts to overthrow a greater deity and fails. What does...

Don't make me laugh . . . Jewish education, also known as Chinuch, plays a central role in transmitting the principles, beliefs, and practices of Judaism to children. This process is not limited to formal schooling but occurs in various settings, including the home, the synagogue, and the wider...

I believe religious indoctrination for a child is abuse. Children's minds are a blank slate; to fill that slate with your 'beliefs' doesn't give them the chance they need to explore other religions and ideas. I was fortunate to have parents who did not push their beliefs on me. My mother had a...
