so what does satanism mean to you? and do you think pagan is the same as satanism?

Question

and what do you think about the viking religon answer this wisely if not then suffer with the unrder ov gerlth

Answer 1

Well when I think of Satanists, I think of the LeVayan Satanists who don't actually believe in the devil. Most of them are atheists.

And no, Pagan is not the same Satanism. Pagans tend to be polytheistic or pantheistic depending on their tradition, they worship the Pre-Christian Gods and Goddesses and they don't believe in the devil either.

The "Viking Religion" as you call it is Asatru. I happen to be an Asatruar. So it should go without saying that I think very highly of my own religion. If you did want to learn more about it, you can click on my profile.

Answer 2

a) Satanism is the worship of Satan. That's pretty simple.
b) Paganism is not the same as satanism. Most Wiccans consider satanism to be a corruption of Christianity.
c) Neither Satanism nor Paganism (nor Wicca, for that matter) are same as Asartu, the Norse religion ("viking" just means pirate, so it's not the correct word to use here).


The only reason I can think this question is in the music section is because of associations between satanism and "Death Metal" and between "Death Metal" and "Viking Metal" - but really that's just fashion statement, and little else. It has very, very little to with actual spiritual expressions of satanism or anything else.

Answer 3

This is just my opinion, I think that satanism basically just stands for INDIVIDUALITY and INDULGENCE in what you desire and of corse there is more, but general basics. And no I don't think that Paganism is the same as satanism. One thing Pagans do not do is worship the Devil or Satan, who is actually a Christian figure, the opponent or adversary of the Christian God.
Pagans respect and love the natural world of which we are all a part of. And as for the viking, They believed in having MORE than one god, a god for everything. And rituals for everything. And the only way for them to get to heaven (Valhalla) they believed that they would have to be killed in battle ONLY. And what do I think of all this..well..to each to ones own, as long as no one preaches to me about there beliefs and tries to condemn me for not believing in THEIR god, I will NOT conform, cause to me, regardless of religion, everyone is seeking truth. The only difference is we all come from different parts of the world, but in reality, its basically the same god. We the people just gave him different names. Because we all speak different languages. That is just my personal opinion. Like I said, to each to ones own.

Answer 4

to me satanism means satan and demon worship and Pageanism is totally different (i'm pagan i would no) pagaenism is an earth based religion in celebration of the celestial and sometimes roman gods and godesses more in celebration of gentleness and healing while satanism is turning to satan to perform some strange hate forced spell instead of inner strength I think the viking religion was much like the roman gods but gave the gods more credit for elements then anything
