I was just wondering this. I have tried to explain to a few christians that satanism is as bad as people think, that its just the stigma attached to the word "satanism" that scars people. Becuase everytime i mention that word most people choose to either ignor or tell me how much of a sinner i am.
Would any of you actually sit down and listen to what a satanist has to say or would most of you just shrug it off and start preaching about how satan is so evil?

I would sit and listen to what you had to say, out of love for you.
I would only require that you give me the same consideration when you are done speaking.
God Bless You....Peace.

As a christian, of course I believe Satan is pure evil. I wouldn't go out of my way to chat with a Satanist, but if by chance conversation got started, I would listen only if it was about why they worship Satan. And then if they agreed to hear me out. Satanists have been converted to christians. That would be my only purpose and hope during the conversation. And then if the Satanist seems interested in what God will do in their lives, I would stand beside them all the way because getting away from Satan will be impossible without the power of the Holy Spirit.

Well, I listen to everything. I might not agree with it, but I wouldn't start preaching at you either. I feel that everyone has the right to say what they wish to say. No one has the right to force others to go along with what they believe, but they have the right to say it. I've read a little about satanism because of a project last year on religion, and it would be interesting to hear things from a satanists point of view rather than my christian friends or a (pretty much) neutral website.

I dunno. Is sex better with a back-sliding christian or a Satanist?What is a backsliding Satanist like than?Have you ever heard of a Born Again christian? ......and again?........and again? Just because Satan may have broken away from God doesn't mean others didn't brake away from him also. It would seem that Satan believes in Free Will forever. Was Heaven so traumatically boring we had to watch the grass grow for fun? Many say that heaven is an artificial or a simulated realm. Satan wanted the whole real deal. Could we theoretically fit heaven on the head of a pin? If God knew the the end of Satan's reality realm than Satan just wanted to prove it in actuality rather than trusting Gods word. Perhaps Satan is a "FALL-GUY" to represent an alternate reality or representation of fact. An equation. Sometimes you have to walk the walk. Create a worthy opponent.

I don't really understand satanism? I mean I get the general idea, but what does being a satanist entail. I listen to anybody's views. Do I agree with all of them? No! But that doesn't mean I won't hear what someone has to say. That's why I come to this forum. It's interesting. Maybe you could explain why you chose satanism and what all satanists believe. Then I can decide whether your views are worth hearing. There are some with my same views who are rude and have a ridiculously small amount of knowledge so I don't want to even hear from them. It's not just what you believe, its what kind of person you are.

Of course I would. I have known a few Satanists in my time, and despite having an overdeveloped hatred for Christianity (just not worth the effort, in my opinion) they are all very logical, intelligent people.
Very much like atheists I know, but in my ignorance the only difference is that Satanists actually follow a leader. Someone is still telling you what to do, even if it is to think for yourself.

Personally I would listen to a satanist, so the next time somebody sees my pentagram, I can make sure they really know what a satanist and what a pagan is.
Also, I would listen just to know what they are all about. Different religions intrigue me. They only call you a sinner because they are afraid of the unknown, and the unknown scares them.

Yes. Because even Satanists don't try to harass you into joining their religion. They just inform if you ask them. Christians are the only ones that push their religion on others.

Yes. I (unlike the Christians) have studied Satanism a little (though I'm not a follower) and found it to be a much more peaceful religion than Christianity.
