I don't think so. Satanism deals with things that are against God. In fact the sinful nature which is controled by Satan (Ephesians 2:1-3; 1 John 5:19) desires exactly the opposite of what the Spiritual nature desires (Galatians 5:16-17). So if we find out what God desires through our Lord Jesus Christ (John 13:34-35) then we will know the signs of Satan (1 John 3:10).
This person could very well be a Christian, but he just doesn't want to be bothered or maybe he doesn't have the money or time to get a "keep out" sign.

Saintism? Is that what Catholics do, venerating Saints and how they have all these abilities to protect you from some specific evil or help you out with something?
Unless you mean Satanism. I doubt it, traditionally Satanism has little to do with the Christian Satan. If you have actually read up on it and talked to people who are Satanists you would already know this.
Sounds like this man is just F'ed up in the head and needs to seek out a medical professional.

No. In history, there have been many pagan practices. Catholicism celebrated Christs delivery (Christmas) and Christ's sacrifice (Easter) from the very commencing up. After a collectively as, somebody got here up with the assumption to pass the days of social gathering to coincide with pagan holiday journeys. It replaced into an attempt to learn converts and it labored ok. particularly some the possibility free pagan practices (alongside with adorning eggs and accumulating around trees) have been extra over with the converts. The especially pagan factors of those activities (worship of their gods and such) have been ignored of direction. So, many practices have been as quickly as pagan, yet they at the instant are not. i assume there may well be if there are any pagans nevertheless around, yet only for those pagans. And none of those practices are required via the Church. undergo in strategies - WHAT you do isn't as significant. that's WHY you do it that concerns. in case you beautify eggs in honor of a pagan god, that's undesirable. in case you beautify eggs as a manner of spending time along with your loved ones, there's no injury in it. The go replaced into as quickly as a pagan image too.

I'll assume you mean "satanism." And I wouldn't worry about it. The world is full of wierd things, but I think that's what keeps it interesting. Not everything different is evil.

That doesn't sound like Satanism to me. He may just be eccentric and/or antisocial. Do as he advises and keep off his property.

It has to do with him being very paranoid and delusional. He is obviously in need of a mental health professional.

Sounds to me like an 'off his meds' problem rather than a spiritual one.

It would be hard to say what this means from your description. He may have just had fire trouble with his home. I do not know.
