What is the evidence for claiming another's religion is from Satan?

Question

Unless talking of a Satanist, how can anyone who believes themselves a good person call other people's religion from Satan and evil? Don't you need EVIDENCE?

I forgive you, Ladybug, for your trespasses against me, BTW. thanks for inspiring my question!

To make it clear, most Satanists don't follow a religion from Satan, EITHER, but I think we can agree where a person might get that idea, you think?

Where in the Bible does it say other religions are from Satan. (Here's a clue, it's not in the Bible unless you penciled it in the margins.)

Answer 1

You just have to ask yourself, if a religion exists, and it wasn't started by God, who could have started it?

Could it be...

SATAN!?

Answer 2

I've never allowed other people tell me what to believe or what to be like. So if you choose to call me something I am not and make other people feel uncomfortable about being around me because of yout words, then shame on you.

In Genesis in the Christian Bible after Cain has killed Abel, Cain found a wife in the Land of Nod which states without explaination that other people existed at the same time that the Christian's creation myth. With the Bible being the source of all truth then other people existed and these people must have had other religions. They weren't added into the Christian Bible because why? Different religion?

No matter what the Christian Bible or people say, there are other religions that worship other Gods and Goddesses. WE ARE NOT CHRISTIANS AND WE DON'T WORSHIP YOUR GOD OR ARE WE ALL CHRISTIANS WHO JUST HAPPEN TO NOT REALIZE THIS AND WE ARE WRONG? No, we have the universal Christian right since you declare us lost sheep to "FREE WILL" and I and others who declare ourselves to be Pagan or Wiccan will do as we feel FREELY! If you don't understand this then read your Bible.

Answer 3

The standard Christian fundie doctrine is simple: It either promotes god or Satan. They live in a black and white world. They can't or refuse to see all the shades of grey in between. They refuse to see all the different colors out there. Hinuism is satanic, buddha is a satanic figure. And when you are talking to fundies, there is no evidence needed for them to make a statement because they well just say that you are not reading the little bible correctly.
I have worked hard trying to explain to christians that my path is just different, I am not evil. I walk the path of the druids. They keep telling me that I am a satan worshipper and that I am decieved. SO then I try to educate them. I explain to them that if paganism is so evil why do they follow pagan traditions. THey try to say that they are christian. But they could never give a good reason in how Easter got it's name. If we are evil then you christians shouldn't borrow and follow pagan traditions at all. But you do and thus it proves that we are good people also.

Answer 4

Well I think your question is more pertaining to ‘religion’ than a ‘fact’ that a fact can be established through evidences but not a religion.

Before trying to answer your question one needs to understand the difference between the words ‘religion’ and ‘fact’.

The word 'religion' is used interchangeably with faith or belief system. It is commonly defined as belief concerning the supernatural, sacred, or divine, and the moral codes, practices and institutions associated with such belief but it may not be a fact. While the word 'fact' means an indisputable truth. It is a statement which is found to be true by a "tryer of fact" after considering evidence/s.

A religion generally explains humankind's relationship with the universe so a good religion will never disrespect another religion as the goal of any religion is the same i.e. for the betterment of the humankind. The religions are different paths through which respective believers reach the one and the ultimate goal. The goal is relative to the paths - depends on which angle one is seeing it (the goal).

However, irrespective of the establishment of an evidential fact, the interpretation of any religion entirely depends on the goodness of the interpreters. So if an interpreter of a religion claims another's religion is from Satan then such interpretation can not be considered as s good interpretation but definitely a biased and prejudiced interpretation and not at all the proper interpretation of a true religion.

Answer 5

Anyone who calls themselves a Satan Worshipper or Satanist is really a xtian. Satan is a xtian concept, so worshipping this guy would only mean that you actually believe in the bible to begin with, you are just "rebelling". I have very little respect for "Satanists" for this very reason.

Answer 6

Religion is not based on evidence but on believes and sometimes in blind faith. People who condemns you religious choices are narrow minded and probably have been brain washed by their own beliefs.
If your onw faith is strong, there is no need to worry about what others think or label you and you ideas.

Answer 7

There are guidelines in the Bible that tell us what is evil, so that would help us determine that. And we do have to make that call in order to not be deceived, and maybe even to warn someone who is being deceived.

BTW, Satanism actually doesn't have anything to do with satan; they're basically atheists who believe in self-indulgence.

Answer 8

I think most who attack other's religions, whatever they may be, should be ashamed. I really don't see why so many people want to argue over it. I'm a Christian and yet I have no problem celebrating Wiccan holidays with my sister-in-law...she has no problem celebrating Christian ones with me. All it takes is a little respect.

Answer 9

This is a very open ended question.

I've done Christian apologetics for 15 years.

I do not feel that all other religions are from Satan.

The essence of Satanism is "Following your own will" or "Do what thy wilt".

If your religion supports the idea of "Doing whatever you feel like" that is the basic principal of Satanism itself.

ie - Self exaltation making to yourself God of yourself rather than God being over you.

Basically
Do what thy wilt vs. Thy will be done.

(Like in the witches creed "Do what thy wilt" and satanist Aliester Crowley "Do what thy wilt")

Answer 10

well the bible calls satan the Father of all lies. Any other reliegion that takes away form the oly true word (one that has never bee proven wrong0 the King James Bible. If you are looking for a Jesus that will tolerate your sin there is a religion out there. You want more than one wife? be a morman. Dont want to go to hell, be a Jehovah Witness (they dont believe there is one) Want to molest little boys... be a Catholic preist. Want to forsake your sin and be forgiven....come to Jesus and thru himand him alone can you be saved. The bible says in Galations 6:7 Be not decieved: God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Answer 11

The beauty of religion is that it needs no "evidence", merely faith. As for calling other people's beliefs satanic, that is simply people being people (and people basically suck).
