Okay, religion-followers of the world.?

Question

The christian devil is the one that everyone blames society's problems on. Yet, it seems that the Satanists take offense to this because they don't recognize the christian devil because it's the christian's evil guy.

So, why can't people own up to their faults and admit that sins are non-existent, that their natural actions are not to be punished by a spiritual pipe dream? Why do people try to pass the blame of their wrongdoings onto another invisible inaudible non-existent entity?

Another question... How is immaculate pregnancy possible? Or were women of the time blaming god for their pregnancy to stay out of trouble?

Okay, this is geared towards those who are monothiest.

I'm Satanic and am wondering why people blame everything on us or everything but themselves.

Human nature is not to be confused with "sin." For example, I feel awesome when I eat at Wendy's with my girlfriend, and still have money left over from gambling...
(the only thing not true here is the girlfriend part)

Betty Boop, no offense, but you are a perfect example of someone who was force-fed lies from birth. How about you read up on what Satanism is all about instead of coming to immediate assumptions and attacking me with typed words about what you "know to be true?"

Answer 1

sounds to me like you are really down on christians,and from listening to your ramblinings I kinda got lost on what your question is?
But the question of immaculate conception? Well since you don't believe in God or sin then I'm sure you don't believe in miracles either so there is no answer for you.

Answer 2

I would blame bad things happening on: people and their choices.
I do believe Satan tempts us to do that which is evil in the eyes of God, but that does not mean Satan is 'twisting the person's arm'...they still have a choice and with those choices come and will come consequences.

I am LDS, Mormon.
We believe all mankind will be held accountable for their own sins and not for Adam's transgression.

Immacualte pregnancy (conception)? Well, it's exactly as said - immaculate.
1 : having no stain or blemish : PURE
2 : containing no flaw or error
3 a : spotlessly clean b : having no colored spots or marks

We believe God the Father created Christ in Mary's womb. We don't know HOW because probably we cannot comprehend it. Our minds do not understand that sort of power so it would be silly to try and figure it out because we just couldn't.
Religion is 50% faith, 50% hope. Faith is the belief for things which are not seen and hope is for things to come through faith.

Answer 3

to answer your first question, I need to first tell you that your premise is wrong. Sins are in fact existant and our natural actions are punishable. You are going on the assumption that Christians follow your belief system of no right and no wrong. We do indeed KNOW that there is a definite RIGHT and a definite WRONG. That leads to my answer: I as a Christian do not blame my wrongdoing on Satan (who does exist). I, and every other Christian who is honest, take responsibility for my sins and ask forgiveness of a loving God. Atheists take the easy way out and put themselves up as the highest authority.

As for the Virgin Birth, Mary was made pregnant by the Holy Spirit and it was miraculous. There is no way, to explain it in natural terms. Your last statement is just dumb...Mary was 14 years old. She was chosen as God's vessel. Joseph could have publicly ousted her but chose to trust God's plan. I don't know why you even ask the question...you'll only mock the answer any Christian would give.

Answer 4

Christians are instructed to "confess your faults one to another" and if a brother is overtaken in a fault, those who are spiritual should restore such an one. Sins are not "faults". They are willing and negligent actions of wrong doing which defy one's God given conscience, that law of knowing right from wrong which keeps a nation civilized and a justice system balanced to serve justice. You sear your conscience and lose your moral compass the more and longer you deny that voice which says it's wrong morally for you to do that. You are dead to God in your sins and trespasses and will continually keep your heart on evil unless or until the day you recognize what an awful sinner you are and how much God loves you in spite of that to show you mercy and send the price of redemption for you to escape judgment through the blood of His Son Jesus Christ.
People choose to reject God's provision and that is the condemnation.
Only the spirit of the anti-Christ denies the virgin birth and thus attack the Deity of Christ. Not a good stance to be in come judgment day. It was not possible for women to do so. She was still a young girl in her father's household and they weren't allowed unsupervised illicit sexual behavior without dire, even deadly consequences and believe me the whole community knew a thing whenever it happened (no privacy, worse than Big Brother today) quicker than modern communications or just as fast. That's why Joseph did not put her away privily because the law allowed him to do so since she was pregnant and thus he did not know her until after Jesus was born. Satan is the temptor and deciever. Christians live a life victorious over sin because it no longer has dominion over them as new creatures in Christ Jesus whose desires are changed completely. That proves over and over throughout the ages that Christ is Who He says He is and lives in the hearts of men and women everywhere. With God all things are possible. He could make children of Abraham out of stones if He wanted to. Of course satanists deny the truth. Satan doesn't want to appear to be the evil guy he really is but it's one and the same and his tactics haven't changed much throughout history of mankind. Why are you duped then? The truth is still the same also!

Answer 5

looking at your questions and follow up statements make me sad to know that such beliefs exist.

I KNOW there is a God in heaven, therefore There are sins in the world because man rebels against God.
Mankind is weak when it comes to temptation this is true and many people are led away into commiting sins because of their own lusts.
Satan and devil worshippers do have knowledge that destroys the purity of christians world wide. !
I for one know these deliberate actions of evil, anyone who does not know them are EASY prey. but then again anyone can be deceived and beguiled.
the mormon religion teaches that the immaculate conception is a false doctrine. However God has the knowledge of invitro fertilization. it is possible that this is the case. There are several scenarios of how jesus was born, the Next logical teaching is that God has a body and Physically joined Mary in sexual intercourse and seeing that Mary was submissive and consentual to being the mother of the saviour, the world will always know that She is Loved of God.
there are historical documents that do proclaim miraculous births without having known any male or sexual intercourse. But only ONE Son of the divine was resurrected and fulfilled the promises contained in prophecy.

Answer 6

"Satan" is a symbol of evil itself. Saying that "the devil made me do it" is like saying, well, I went along with Hitler because he's my ruler (even though I knew he was wrong.) Or racist leaders, genocidal leaders, Saddam-types...whatever. It's a way of saying that people went along with their basest lusts and desires even though they knew it was wrong. They chose to follow an evil leader. It's a metaphor, dude.

As far as virgin pregnancies, most ancient societies weren't so hung-up about sex and pregnancy. In fact, some societies were matrilineal and the children followed their mother's genealogy because, really, you might not know your father, but it's easy enough to tell a baby came out of a particular woman. Sometimes, babies conceived at religious festivals were "born of the gods" and the father was of no consequence.

Sometimes it was a convenient excuse, especially among patriarchal bastard guys who put an awful lot of stock in female celibacy. Like they were supposed to control a woman's breeding times and partners. Ugh. Bad men! BAD!

Answer 7

Perhaps it is you ,who need to re-examine who you put your Faith,trust, in, instead of making us justify why we blame the Devil.
If you say "your" devil that you worship is different, then why get mad, or insulted, if your convinced he isn't bad or evil, why spend so much time defending him??

Virgin birth, has happend once, God did that to show that it was NOT of man but of the holy spirit, God is all powerful, just because you don't understand it, doesn't mean you should knock it!

Answer 8

There is no devil tempting anyone. We are all responsible for our wrongdoings and should actually take responsibility.

As for immaculate conception: one has to assume Mary -- probably only 12 or 13 at the time -- was not terribly thrilled about the possibility of being stoned to death and had to think of something.

Answer 9

If there is no sin and no God, then how is there any "wrongdoing"?

Nothing is impossible with God--that's the point. If there is no God, then of course we would need some scientific explanation for the immaculate conception--but then again, we wouldn't need an immaculate conception if there is no God.

Answer 10

If you do something wrong-it is your fault. Its kind of like when a little kid eats all of the cookies and blames it on Mr. Toto the cat.
You can't blame erm,"Satan",because you made the choice.
