>When satan is a blue checkmark.
some of them have actually have sharp noggins in terms of foresight, people like belle delphine she legit has some business sense in knowing how to ride trends
same goes to people like jake paul
Fuck that satan, this is the real nigga...
the church of satan went from epic prank to big yikes
started out by people who want to emphasize how exploitable it is to use religion to get tax excemption. and along the way, the grandson of the founder was a legit mall goth who thought he had actual demon powers
Lucifer means lightbringer, he was an angel and wasn't punished, but charged with being the adversary.
lucifer quite literally did and does nothing wrong
From what I know, Satan or ha'satan or the accuser or whatever, is the office tasked with trolling people to see if they keep their belief in god
thats right
they are quite literally doing god's work
Lucifer as the fallen angel and so on was something manufactured in ~~the middle ages~~ general post-Roman era going on from like two offhand sentences in the old testament
its because it went from an ancient religion wth personable deities to when the orthodoxy wanted an unerring complete authority
They couldn't have God and the one who questions God treated as moral equals
basically
old testament you have people talking to god as if he was physically there
almost on the level of greek gods
I'm pretty sure Church of Satan is a troll church
it is
<:thunk:462282216467333140>
and it works
american government : no taxes for churches
shitposters : what if we made a church about satan
american government : surprised pikachu face
No it's serious
it's just not theistic
Some people suspect it's all a DMT trip, because acacia contains it like ayahuasca.
Moses and the burning bush
@Ayylmao @randomNPCno3 Here we go
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucifer#Background
So basically in that text someone metaphorically calls the babylonian king "the shining one", personified from Venus (which was common in ancient religions) and then someone mangled the translation several times.
The word Haylel happens only once in the bible <:smugon:512048583806025739>
?
And later, christianity used the Venus personification as a shortcut to call the constructed adversary a Lucifer
at least christfags dont pretend the bible is a legit 100% unedited work from the original draft *cough* kuran *cough*
boom, instant belivers
a very roman thing to do
instant boom
they wanted a trickster like being
just like their greek animes
