[quote=poorgradstudent]Satanism has always struck me as a little… childish. I mean, without Christianity and the Bible, you don’t have Satan. Satan is a character of the New Testament. So it’s sort of odd branding for Atheists/Secular Humanists to take on. I realize part of that is historical and part of it is intended for shock value, but in 2015 it seems more than a little silly.[/quote]
What’s silly is that people (the god fearing, fanciful story believing, letting little Jimmy go camping with Father McDonough type) actually believe in Satan. I think the “Satanists” are just having a little fun pointing that back at them.
It’s kind of like drawing Mohammad, it’s a silly exercise, but it really get’s the true believers “goat”.
