      I’m not a satanist. Though I fully support the causes these people are behind. But I have a few questions for you.

      So when I was 5 my mom kidnapped me and ran away to Florida with me. We were in church every time those doors were open. Unfortunately all the prayers in the world still didn’t help her get her insulin. I watched her wither and die SLOWLY. I was 8.

      Where was god?

      After her death. I moved back in with my dad where a neighbor began to sexually abuse me for a few years. My dad made sure we went to church every Sunday. It was my mom’s dying wish.

      Where was god? Was I not good enough? Did I not pray hard enough?

      I still remember the moment I realized that god doesn’t exist. It was night time and we had a trampoline in the backyard. I was standing next to it looking up at the stars. My breath still smelled like him. I was 10.

      So, I may not know much, but I know that your god either doesn’t exist or let those things and more happen. If that’s the case. I want nothing to do with him.

        “If God real why bad thing happen?”

        I already know atheism is usually out of blaming God for personal and traumatic experiences, butbthat won’t automatically mean satanism doesn’t follow the devil

          It’s the simplest of logic. If I claim to have magic flying powers. Then I jump off a building and fall to my death. You’d say I was lying.

          Likewise if people tell me that the god Ive been following is all knowing, all powerful, and compassionate. That all I have to do is be good and pray and he will watch over me.

          So I do the things and he doesn’t hold up his end of the bargain. Then it’s a sham. It’s a lie. It’s a con. It’s bull shit.

          Organizations are what they do. The church makes big claims. But follows through with none of the supernatural stuff, and very little of the material stuff like donations.

      Again, the Satan YOU BELIEVE IN is NOT the Satan who’s symbolism we admire. I told you exactly what he represents to us, and it’s frankly disgusting if you somehow believe that equal human rights is evil. But then again, as your Christias churches love to say, “The Devil was the first to demand equal rights,” as if it is a bad thing lmfao
