Satanism is very much a mixed bag. The Christians of Trump's base don't understand what Satan means. Satanism is often perceived as being about evil, but is some contexts it can be about justice.
Satan hates humans and is the author of confusion. It can never be about justice because Satan doesn't want justice, he wants revenge. And we all know the vengeful don't care if you're guilty or not.
You've just described the Satan of Christianity, which is inconsistent with the Satan of Judaism. Satan simply means adversary, to assume that your adversary does not have just cause is pure vanity. The first chapter of the book of Job is worth a closer look.
Yeah, @Shizy is a good example of a Trumpling who is too proud to admit that they are ignorant or a liar. Kind of interesting that Trump has a problem with pride, Trump professes to be Christian, and Christians associate pride with Lucifer's fall from grace.
Not my problem really. As for Trump, well, I trust his candor and apparent intentions - I'm sure I'd have plenty to disagree with him over if we laid it all out on the table, but, I'm willing to trust that he's working towards a greater goal that I can get behind & that he'd know full well where I'm coming from on certain topics :P
an extravagant statement or figure of speech not intended to be taken literally, as “to wait an eternity.”.
The context of Christianity and Satanism is vastly misunderstood by most, though... but, it doesn't matter what I share on that topic, it'll fall on mostly deaf ears around here xD
" I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star..... ....to President of the United States (on my first try). I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius....and a very stable genius at that!"
IMO pride has a lot to do with the Christian misunderstanding, what's your take on it?
I started attracting a lot of downvotes after I posted that Muslim women have rights. Pointing out that Christianity misapprehends the nature of Satan is another unpopular view.
I should point out that the rights I'm talking about are from the Quran, and that they're not spelled out explicitly even though the Quran is clear in saying that they do exist. The nature of the relationship between men and women is at the center of the bridegroom symbolism of the gospels, too.
That's kinda the crux of the problem I suppose, the weaponization of ambiguous wording and just outright lies about intent, has led to a dangerous schism across the board - everyone needs to get their shit together before WWIII breaks out in full...
There is so much to undo, though, with so much blood on their hands... it's clear as day, to myself at least, that although some good is thrown into Islam & The Quaran, this merely acts as fodder for the old, "but we're a religion of peace!" defence.
Many countries have had Islam forced upon them over the centuries and bred into them for so long, that it's simply "the way of things", their internal fuckery and disputes leading to massive bloodshed, up to tihs very day, can't go unignored.

Yes, according to the Bible the ambiguity (or confusion) of language of language began with the tower of Babel (Babel means confusion). Babylon was the first of a series of empires. The continual quest for dominance that drives empire is one of the main social drivers for war.

IMO the biggest single problem with Islam is the Hadith. The Quran was written as a complete document, but the Hadith has an extensive history of errors, and even after discarding the obvious ones contradictions remain. The core meaning of Islam is submission to Allah. The Hadith is to Islam like what the Talmud is to Judaism, a collection of manmade writings which provide a rich environment for social heirarchies and the politicization of religion. Islamic culture of course has it's own history of empire building, although not as extensive as the emipres that developed from Rome and the Roman Catholic Church.

The Palestinian problem is related. When Islam came to Palestine some Jews converted to Islam in order not to lose possession of their land. Islam and Judaism are quite similar religions, the main difference being sacrifice and the more exclusive attitudes of Judaism.

Wow, so Satanism is the answer to the Trump era? Fucking shit, they really aren't even hiding it anymore. The western world has lost its fucking mind.

Like they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Within the context of Christianity and Satanism, Trump's pride is a bit of a red flag.

By pride I mean him tweeting that he's a genius.
