Is it Satanic to be in the business of temptation?

Question

I'm talking about companies that market a product or service to tempt you to buy it.

Answer 1

The sin lies in their greed.

Answer 2

yes, anything that is against God's will is bad. the person of charge of ordering it and making the decision will be held accountable for it BUT YOU WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR FALLING TO TEMPTATION AS IT IS EVERYWHERE, IT IS YOUR JOB TO PRAY AND ABSTAIN
VERSE:
Can a man walk on hot coals without his feet being scorched?
-- Proverbs 6:28

mes: 24-35 They'll protect you from wanton women,
from the seductive talk of some temptress.
Don't lustfully fantasize on her beauty,
nor be taken in by her bedroom eyes.
You can buy an hour with a whore for a loaf of bread,
but a wanton woman may well eat you alive.
Can you build a fire in your lap
and not burn your pants?
Can you walk barefoot on hot coals
and not get blisters?
It's the same when you have sex with your neighbor's wife:
Touch her and you'll pay for it. No excuses.
Hunger is no excuse
for a thief to steal;
When he's caught he has to pay it back,
even if he has to put his whole house in hock.
Adultery is a brainless act,
soul-destroying, self-destructive;
Expect a bloody nose, a black eye,
and a reputation ruined for good.
For jealousy detonates rage in a cheated husband;
wild for revenge, he won't make allowances.
Nothing you say or pay will make it all right;
neither bribes nor reason will satisfy him

Answer 3

Tempting to buy something destructive, yes. But not just to buy their products. Some products are good, and the advertisement is really just to let you know about it.

Answer 4

Temptation causes desire .Desire when unfulfilled leads to frustration or anger.Desire when fulfilled leads to more temptation.Either way the mind becomes unbalanced.

An unbalanced mind is satanic

However this is true also of companies(almost all of them) which sell by peddling fear .Fear causes the same reaction.

Answer 5

Many people have questioned the existence of God. But, I haven't noticed anyone questioning the existence of Satan! I think the concepts / perceptions of good and bad (as they apply to the human being), exist within the human mind. Actions are labeled as good / bad, by the human being, as per human perceptions.

Answer 6

Corporations are Vile Temptressers?

Answer 7

So in other words - anyone who works in marketing, advertising, or indeed any kind of manufacturing at all.

We're all going to hell except you. That ok?

Answer 8

Last time I shopped it wasn't with the horned dude in red.
Accept responsibility for what you do. Mature alittle.
YOU are your own fate.

Answer 9

Yes.

But I am sure Satan isn't such a bad dude once you get to know him, he's probably just misunderstood.
