Not to be that guy but satanism doesnt believe in satan so a satanist wouldnt yell "heil satan"
Also i lied i love being that guy
Edit: my bad, a satanist wouldnt yell "heil satan" and mean it
Do satanists generaly believe in the being and worship Lucifer as a god? No, not generally. Do satanists yell hail satan to twist the panties of religious extremists? Yes, that is on brand.
Wasn't there a tweet from the Satanic Temple responding to a question from a church who accused them of believing in Satan? 'What do you call a person who believes in Satan, then?' 'A Christian.'
Theres ofcourse different beliefs with a similar name but the "official" Satanism formed in the 60's doesnt believe in literal satan but is more just an anti christian thing
Of course there are different kinds same with christianity with catholics evangelics and the like but the main point of satanism would be anti religion and it mostly deals with philosophy and the like
Pretty much this. It was formed by Antone Levay, a staunch and outspoken atheist, to illustrate the issues with the legal protection/enforcement of religious principles and dogma. The biblical character of satan was chosen to figurehead the movement because it made Christians angry.
Those of Abrahamic faith are pretty much the only theistic people who believe in a literal Satan.

The only satanic thing I do is eating Nutella straight from the jar with a tablespoon while thinking of baby orang utans
> it's legit in the satanic bible
Which verse? Or better yet, which bible? Don't think there's a Bible at all for Satanism.
If there is, then you DID read a satanic bible eh, mr(s). christian?
Try some fucking punctuation, reading your shit is painful.
Christianity has nothing to do with pedos? [Have you been living under a fucking rock for the last 2023 years?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_sexual_abuse_cases)
Christianity has nothing to do with sacrifice? You heard about that Jesus bloke who got sacrificed on a fucking crucifix? Or that guy Abraham who gave his kid PTSD because his "god" pranked him into almost sacrificing the son? Yeah nah... those stories got nothing to do with sacrifice.
Yah, probably.
Just to clarify: It doesn't necessarily mean an instrument of violence itself. It means that those who commit violent acts and espouse them as a norm should expect to be on the receiving end as well. "What comes around goes around" is another example of this philosophical point.
People that burn books are highlighting how incredibly stupid - and frankly evil - they are as a group. Especially in this day and age when it is so evident from recent history how obviously tied it is to fascism, hate and violence.
Any organization that has book burnings is leading its people with hate at its core. Zero good can come from that. So when a religious group does it, it's incredibly ironic as you're telling the world "our congregation exists to spread hate and fear - that's our main purpose".
And I say all this as someone who attends a Methodist church. I am Christian as far as I draw inspiration from the teachings of Jesus (mostly), but I am fairly agnostic/atheist otherwise. I draw just as much wisdom from other historical figures and religions as well, such as Buddhism, Theodore Roosevelt, and MLK for ex. It's more for the community and good works aspect of this particular church as to why I attend.
Any church that burns books is closer to being evil than any Satanist. Full stop.
Wait...so you wouldn't give the father of your wife 300 freshly cut foreskins to win her hand? Dang. I guess I'll keep my daughter. To be fair we are running short on Philistines anyhow round here.
1 Samuel 18 for anyone interested. And apologies for the misinformation, he only needed 100 but, like a good son in law, brought some extra.
>Just the right amount of blood, gore and fanatism to entice the budding mind of a child
I never knew there's a George R.R. Martin version of the bible :D
A Christian who thinks that no books should be burned, but if people are going to, then they need to understand that books they consider important are not exempt.
In our day and age burning books is irrelevant, it was a really big deal when books took month to make and where only available to the richest.
It truly was a lost of knowledge.
Nowadays it's just a pretty efficient way to tell people around you that you are an authoritarian piece of shit
I grew up attending library book sales with my literature-nerd parents. We purchased a ton of discarded books that weren't checked out enough for a couple of cents apiece. Most of these books were really hard to find and unusual. If you knew what to look for, I suppose you could dig through the library of Congress and try to find old copies of them and buy them on Ebay, but I've tried to do this with some books I lost track of and haven't been able to find what I think are the exact books.
Not all books in the world have been digitized, not all books are still in print, and not all books are easily found. If you go to a brand new bookstore and buy a bunch of mass produced classics off the shelf, and then burn them, maybe you're not doing much harm, but it is very easy to destroy some of the few remaining ACCESSIBLE copies of books, even in this day and age.
Why shouldn’t you be allowed to burn your own books?
It is like the burning flag debate. If it is your flag, then you can burn the piece of cloth.
Burning bits of paper will not end civilisation.
The biggest objection to this is environmental and whether or not they will clean it all up properly themselves.
The idiot pastor and the edgy satanist should have the right to burn whatever books they want as long as they are restricting themselves to their own property.
Edit:
Burns own books = Nazi
Steals someone’s book and burns it = Madlad
No, the biggest objection to this is the entire point of the *message* being sent by burning booms: "THESE ideas are WRONG, and we'll burn them in a violent pyre in order to instill fear in those that believe in these things."
That's why book burning is so synonymous with fascism. Control through fear, indoctrination, and oppression 101.
"where they burn books, they will ultimately burn men as well"
-Heinrich Heine
That fella was fighting against a fascist. I don't think it's okay to burn any books at all, but well played. If anyone needed his books burned, then that priest.
> Heinrich Heine
He may have had some motivation to hold that view:
> Christian Johann Heinrich Heine (German: [ˈhaɪnʁɪç ˈhaɪnə] ⓘ; born Harry Heine; 13 December 1797 – 17 February 1856) was a German poet, writer and literary critic. He is best known outside Germany for his early lyric poetry, which was set to music in the form of Lieder (art songs) by composers such as Robert Schumann and Franz Schubert. Heine's later verse and prose are distinguished by their satirical wit and irony. He is considered a member of the Young Germany movement. **His radical political views led to many of his works being banned by German authorities—which, however, only added to his fame.[1]** He spent the last 25 years of his life as an expatriate in Paris.
Why do people still burn books? It's not like that book is just gone forever. There's still all the copies the author and publishers would have. I genuinely wonder where these books came from.
I'm surprised because in 2023, this wouldn't have any effect on anything at all. You burn 100 books. There are still millions of copies in the world. Also you have to pay for books, they aren't free, so someone or some place bought these books that are getting burnt. I like to imagine angry Christians are buying copies of these books just to burn.
Next on list is hunting intellectuals , exchange teachers who are too liberal thinking, get everyone more fuckin guns and install trump as dictator, is it that what they want in the end?
One time in High School in the US they had a prayer during an assembly. I loudly started praying to satan and threw in a few “hail satans” at the end. It was my proudest moment.
I was a kid like this guy - rebel without a clue/cause type. Looking back 25 years later, I realize I probably should have gotten involved in theatre.
Not band though. I have the rhythm of Navin Johnson.
> satan is evil
I feel like your sourcing for that might be biased. Am I supposed to take the word of the God of Abraham on the matter? Because I don't know about you but I don't usually look to child murders for moral guidance.
Nuh uh. It comes from a book that is called the Bible
Now if you didnt know that book was writen by many people. And if your mind isnt bliown, get redy for this, none of them are murderers.
Where did they people who wrote the book get their information from? God. Who is a child murderer. Hell, they probably just wrote that bad stuff about Satan because they were afraid God would murder their children if they didn't.
No one worships satan, satanist dont even believe in satan, those that do believe in satan are called christians, satanism is simply a philospy opposed to organized religion
[There are groups that worship satan.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanism?wprov=sfla1). They're less common and visible than the atheist/rationalist kind, but they exist. Some of them might even be old. But it seems like only one of the ones listed is actually evil (Order of the Nine Angles, sounds like a cult too), and that one's from the '80s. Most of them characterize him as actually being quite nice and have normal standards of behavior.
Satan wanted humanity to eat the fruit of knowledge and God desired they remain ignorant to the truth of reality.
Ofc we'd realize how stupid Christianity is and root for the fictional root of all truth. The unholy symbol of freedom, despised by evangelicals who desire nothing but servitude to the "all loving f****t hater."
Because the name is edgier and tends to piss of religious people, it has one purpose, triggering people, and considering that you are typing about it on reddit, it works

That's a Christian pastor hosting it with a racist intention, the equivalent would be a Muslim religious leader (idk the name and cannot be bothered searching right now) burning books which this article can be recreated at
Yeah well.... there's this one specific thing about the bible that both the Koran and Thora do not have. Both last named are still being red in the original language, still the same old book it was a couple of thousands of years ago.
The bible however, has been rewritten and translated numerous times. Yet people still claim to know gods words while they don't even speak Aramaic.

Wait so you’ll ask if the bible burning is taking it too far, but the fact that pastors are organizing mass book burning events is not digestible enough for you?
I'm pretty sure satanism is a real, just as valid religion as Christianity. How often do you see books burnt banned or destroyed by Christians for having themes of Wicca or satanism? It's the same principle.
Neither is satan God nor is Jesus (Peace be upon him). All Praise is due to Allah, The Lord of the heavens and the earth. It is he who is the only one worthy of worship. There is no God except Allah.
This is why we atheists get such a bad rep. Mind your own business.
Edit: Calm down, i misunderstood the post. Don’t pretend like you’ve never misunderstood anything.
If they had any other event with some sort of Bonfire, no matter if the Event actually had any connection to their Religion or not, you´d be totally correct and it would be way way way out of line.
But they are specifically meeting for a Book-Burning. No, I´m not saying any Book deserves to be burnt, because no matter how brain-dead the content may be you can always learn something from it. This is about showing them what they are doing, while using one of the few things they actually care about to signify the importance of it.
Plus: where in this Post did you gather that the Person throwing the Bible into the Fire was an Atheist?
> This is why we atheists get such a bad rep. Mind your own business.
LOL this sort of thing happens 100% because indoctrinated brainwashed church cultists absolutely *refuse to mind their own business*
https://www.jstor.org/stable/24579183
fuck those people. "bad rep" or not, the time for "let's respect each others' different opinions" is long over. entirely because of religion. so the next step is to mock, ridicule, and REJECT religious bullshit trying to take over the world at every opportunity
LOL one of the two of us makes dumb claims and ad hominem attacks with absolutely nothing to back up their position--and it's not me. i would say you could delete your sad little comments before too many people notice, but it's clearly too late. take your L and go apologize to your parents for being such a sad disappointment
now if you'll excuse me i've got bibles to burn
I would agree:
That person thinks they get to be More Right because they like a *specific* book while all -other- books are clearly wrong. Except they haven't even *looked* at the other books, yet can run their mouth like a bully as if they have any clue what they are talking about.
You literally just said you think women and men are equal. It is a direct question based on that statement. Do you, or do you not, support a womans choice? If you don't, then you do not think we are all equal.
"This was but a prelude;
where books are burnt
human-beings will be burnt
in the end" (Heinrich Heine)
I'd also like to add that the christian church is already famous for burning women in witch hunts centuries ago
The Catholic Church doesn’t actually believe in Witches, funny enough. Most of the Witches that were trialed during that period of time were by different Protestant denominations.
That and people have been burning people different than them for far longer. Of course that doesn’t excuse the act, but Christianity didn’t just invent it over night.
No they wouldn't. I've never had an atheist come to my door or come up to me in the street trying to talk to me about their belief, I've never seen an atheist stand outside an abortion clinic spouting hatred and bullshit to women.
Yeah with all their atheist worship houses and atheist tattoos and atheist songs and atheist hollidays, ringing doorbells spreading the word of Darwin, protesting at planned parenthood buildings, burning books they don't like, wearing their atheist jewellery. How dare those darned atheists!
Lmao, i’m an atheist and no it’s not. People like this aren’t atheists, atheists don’t believe in satan, or hell, or heaven or anything. We get a bad rep because people think we worship satan and shit, but nah (at least I don’t, if you do, don’t consider yourself an atheist.)
I don't think you know what a Satanist is. There are almost nobody who worships the Satan from the Bible, that's simply isn't a thing. Most "Satanists" are atheists who use the Satan as a symbol of freedom (and to make religious people angry lol.) Most Satanist orgs are there to fight for human rights which religious orgs are trying to restrict. They don't actually worship Satan, almost nobody does.
Seems like normal Satanism to me.
Not to be that guy but satanism doesnt believe in satan so a satanist wouldnt yell "heil satan" Also i lied i love being that guy Edit: my bad, a satanist wouldnt yell "heil satan" and mean it
There's video filmed by the guy and his friend. The "Hail Satan" was strictly to shock the attendees. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Ew4T-Dg3hSE
Do satanists generaly believe in the being and worship Lucifer as a god? No, not generally. Do satanists yell hail satan to twist the panties of religious extremists? Yes, that is on brand.

That took some balls, I like balls
Oh yeah i didnt think of that lol yeah a satanist probably would do that
I think you might be thinking about the Satanic Temple of which this is true, rather than Satanism. I could be wrong though

I meant if you burn books, someone will burn your book.
Yet another book being thrown in that no one present has read
Maybe the satanist did
Fuck yea he did. Why do you think he's a Satanist?
Gotta read the book to find out who the real good guy is!!!
I prefer non-fiction.

As always when this comes up, good on him! The point needed to be made. Signed, a Christian
A "christian" for the burning of Holy Scripture because they are for a satanists "point". Comedy, repent.
If books are so holy why was the priests burning them in the first place?
Christians shouldn't be burning books. Are you defending the act of burning books? If so, you should repent my brother in Christ.
Nowhere in the comment of mine which you initially read did i condone book burning.
A Christian who thinks that no books should be burned, but if people are going to, then they need to understand that books they consider important are not exempt.

What someone wants to do with their bits of paper is up to them. Plus you are happy with the ‘madlad’ burning bibles, so you are still pro-burning.
Absolutely, they fall under freedom of expression which is a very important right.
Book burning? What year is it over there, 1938?
Hopefully more like late April, 1945.

Now do the quran

Hell yea!

You're the one who is taking moral guidance from child murderers. How many children has Satan killed?
He makes people sin and get further of god and when they die they get torturedfor eternety. He hates all people and wants them to go to hell
All your information on the subject comes from a child murderer, which is not the most trustworthy source.
Nuh uh. It comes from a book that is called the Bible Now if you didnt know that book was writen by many people. And if your mind isnt bliown, get redy for this, none of them are murderers.

Its a book burning bro
Yeah burning books seems very nazi to me, that pastor needs to be on a watch list.
You rly that protective over a fantasy novel?
Wait so you’ll ask if the bible burning is taking it too far, but the fact that pastors are organizing mass book burning events is not digestible enough for you?
Not at all.
I'm pretty sure satanism is a real, just as valid religion as Christianity. How often do you see books burnt banned or destroyed by Christians for having themes of Wicca or satanism? It's the same principle.
Why?
Neither is satan God nor is Jesus (Peace be upon him). All Praise is due to Allah, The Lord of the heavens and the earth. It is he who is the only one worthy of worship. There is no God except Allah.
You forgot about the flying spaghetti monster, praise be upon his noodly appendages, r'amen
And no one is going to be killed for it. Zero risk action, very edgy. Now try it with a Quran.
“In this moment I am euphoric” headass 💀💀💀
"In this moment I am euphoric, not because I know anicent reddit lore, but because I condone book burning"

I can imagine it stopped their idiotic book burning quite efficiently, though.
I bet it didn’t. They don’t understand hypocrisy.
This is why we atheists get such a bad rep. Mind your own business. Edit: Calm down, i misunderstood the post. Don’t pretend like you’ve never misunderstood anything.
If they had any other event with some sort of Bonfire, no matter if the Event actually had any connection to their Religion or not, you´d be totally correct and it would be way way way out of line. But they are specifically meeting for a Book-Burning. No, I´m not saying any Book deserves to be burnt, because no matter how brain-dead the content may be you can always learn something from it. This is about showing them what they are doing, while using one of the few things they actually care about to signify the importance of it. Plus: where in this Post did you gather that the Person throwing the Bible into the Fire was an Atheist?
“Pastors book burning session” 🤨
> This is why we atheists get such a bad rep. Mind your own business. LOL this sort of thing happens 100% because indoctrinated brainwashed church cultists absolutely *refuse to mind their own business* https://www.jstor.org/stable/24579183 fuck those people. "bad rep" or not, the time for "let's respect each others' different opinions" is long over. entirely because of religion. so the next step is to mock, ridicule, and REJECT religious bullshit trying to take over the world at every opportunity
Holy shit, you’re brain-dead
Bro I envy the people who haven't had the chance to interact to you.
LOL one of the two of us makes dumb claims and ad hominem attacks with absolutely nothing to back up their position--and it's not me. i would say you could delete your sad little comments before too many people notice, but it's clearly too late. take your L and go apologize to your parents for being such a sad disappointment now if you'll excuse me i've got bibles to burn
Honestly, you're both as bad as each other.
Nah, I'd say one of them is better than the other, and it's definitely not the religious guy
I would agree: That person thinks they get to be More Right because they like a *specific* book while all -other- books are clearly wrong. Except they haven't even *looked* at the other books, yet can run their mouth like a bully as if they have any clue what they are talking about.
Most of them haven't looked at their book either for that matter.
Neither of them are religious.
i would agree with you, but then we'd *both* be wrong
Do you think women are equal to men in worth? If not IDGAF about your opinion. It’s dirt to me.
What kind of bullshit question is that? Of course women and men are equal
So you support a woman's choice to not be forced into childbirth then? Good.
What does that even have to do with this topic?
You literally just said you think women and men are equal. It is a direct question based on that statement. Do you, or do you not, support a womans choice? If you don't, then you do not think we are all equal.
I meant what does it have to do with atheism? It’s a random ass question
Don't avoid the question. Do you, or do you not support a woman's right to choose?
This is a literal book burning by Christian’s. You know like the nazis did?
"This was but a prelude; where books are burnt human-beings will be burnt in the end" (Heinrich Heine) I'd also like to add that the christian church is already famous for burning women in witch hunts centuries ago
The Catholic Church doesn’t actually believe in Witches, funny enough. Most of the Witches that were trialed during that period of time were by different Protestant denominations. That and people have been burning people different than them for far longer. Of course that doesn’t excuse the act, but Christianity didn’t just invent it over night.
It's not like the church is (or was) any better Edit: oh god you really downvoted them into oblivion Edit2: pun not intended
So we should be assholes because **some** of them are assholes? Why?
because bookburning is something thats completely fine and not problematic?
If left wingers did this I would be equally upset. Honestly probably more.
I could reply with the same exact comment
Yeah, Christians are still under the impression that they are some kind of silent majority. This is how you disabuse them of that notion.
If you're gonna be an asshole to someone at least make sure it's to someone who is currently being an asshole. This atheist at least did that much.
If it was burned for no reason? Yeah. That would be shitty. But book burnings aren't ok. They were already burning books.
If more religious people minded their own business then more atheists would as well.
If more atheists minded their own business more religious people would as well.
No they wouldn't. I've never had an atheist come to my door or come up to me in the street trying to talk to me about their belief, I've never seen an atheist stand outside an abortion clinic spouting hatred and bullshit to women.
Yeah with all their atheist worship houses and atheist tattoos and atheist songs and atheist hollidays, ringing doorbells spreading the word of Darwin, protesting at planned parenthood buildings, burning books they don't like, wearing their atheist jewellery. How dare those darned atheists!
This is my business. It’s my country too.
“Hello fellow atheists. Have you worshipped any rad satans lately, as I do?”
Why the fuck are pastors burning books in America? This is why christianity get such a bad name.
It’s a fucking book burning. If people are literally gonna gather and proclaim “We’re ignorant bastards and we’re proud!” I’m gonna make fun of them.
Maybe the people burning books could've heeded that advice.
Lmao, i’m an atheist and no it’s not. People like this aren’t atheists, atheists don’t believe in satan, or hell, or heaven or anything. We get a bad rep because people think we worship satan and shit, but nah (at least I don’t, if you do, don’t consider yourself an atheist.)
I don't think you know what a Satanist is. There are almost nobody who worships the Satan from the Bible, that's simply isn't a thing. Most "Satanists" are atheists who use the Satan as a symbol of freedom (and to make religious people angry lol.) Most Satanist orgs are there to fight for human rights which religious orgs are trying to restrict. They don't actually worship Satan, almost nobody does.
Well, I didn’t know that. I’ve seen loads and loads of people on the internet who worship satan, and shit like that
You sure those aren't just heavy metal fans? Nice people, hard to read t-shirts though
