Luciferian

Let's talk about Satan.

I've known quite a few decent Christians. They exist. Some of them are really nice people. But a good number of them are right bastards. I have been yelled at, threatened, and harassed by Christians. There is no end to the number of lies Christians have told me. Maybe they do this because they will be forgiven for such acts. I don't know.

While I haven't met nearly as many Satanists, either self-professed or actual members of one of the many Satanic churches, I have liked every one I have met. Not a one of them ever threatened me in any way shape or form. They stood by their word and to the best of my knowledge never lied to me. Perhaps it's because they believe they alone are responsible for what they do and say. I don't know.

I've been screwed over by women, men, big dogs, tiny cats, Cat Stevens Fans, percussionists, D&D players, teachers, hipsters, lovers of lounge music, actors, Christians, Jews, Italians, Koreans, Norwegians, vegans, carnivors, smokers, non-smokers...any categorization of human kind you can think of- one of them has probably fucked me over at some point.

Is it them or is it me?

Or am I spending way too much time identifying the group as opposed to confronting the individual dickhead that just pissed me off?

Anytime you find a group that you either love or hate based on assumptions made from just a few members of said community it is pretty much the luck of the draw. Let's be honest, you just feel more comfortable with Satanists because their dogma is compatable to yours. That does not necessarily mean anyone who does not share that system is an asshole. More than likely, it is easier for you to see them as such.

That way you don't have to give their thoughts, ideas or perceptions any real weight in the discussion (or altercation, as the case may be), because they're assholes by association.

We're human beings and we do it all the time. It just sucks ass when you're the one on the receiving end.

I would say there are a hell of a lot more Christians than Satanists so the likelihood of me running into an asshole Christian is that much higher. Is it just a matter of density? I DON'T KNOW!
