okay I understand everyone's modern definition of Satanism but why are they claiming a title that has traditionally been defined as the source of sorrow and eternal suffering and fire and eternal punishment?

They basically uphold him as a symbol of rebellion against an unjust, totalitarian authority.

What sort of rebellion against this "unjust and totalitarian authority"... Raping children?

You mean like all Christian denominations but especially the catholic church does, have always done and always will do unless we stop them somehow?

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah... So do school teachers. Christianity isn't about raping children. Neither is education.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A big part of organized Christianity is covering for and otherwise enabling child rapists, though. Not so for education.

Besides, not that it makes a single rape acceptable, of course, but education has many positive aspects that can't be found outside of education. Christianity doesn't have even one.

Christianity has the positive aspects of saving people's soul. Child rape is not a "big part" of Christianity. It is not proscribed in the Bible nor in any catechism. It literally says that if you harm a child, that it would be better for you to be drowned in the sea than to face the wrath of God.

Christianity has the ~~positive~~ imaginary aspect of saving people's soul.

Fixed it for you.

Child rape is not a "big part" of Christianity.

It might not be in theory but it is in practice. Christian authority figures keep raping children with impunity and their bosses keep sweeping it under the rug.

It is not proscribed in the Bible nor in any catechism. It literally says that if you harm a child, that it would be better for you to be drowned in the sea than to face the wrath of God.

So why aren't you drowning all those child molesting priests in the sea? Don't you believe in what your silly book says you have to do?
