I was watching something about Satanists on Discovery the other night and learned an alarming fact. The Church leader said that they dont believe in God nor the Devil or life after death. That all of the rituals and stuff they do is too mock Christianity. I wouldn`t liken them to atheist, they`re idiots. The only thing worse than religion is anti-religion. All the rituals and crap they do remind me of the Catholic Church. Since they claim they don`t believe in that crap do you think they are really sheep in wolves clothing?

Actually I've met a few Satanist on here and I am just about madly in love with one of them (Much love Grim) and I think the others are great. Yes they are atheistic.
Only sheeps need a shepard. They are no sheep I assure you.
Autumn I think you watch too many horror movies. Or is that you just go to church and hear that crap?

No. Unfortunately, "wolves in sheeps clothing" as a biblical warning must be understood in the context of the entire analog that Jesus uses to describe His relationship as the Good Shepherd with those who are His true followers, the "sheep of His fold/ flock."
It's important to note that He doesn't say "wolves that look like sheep," but "wolves in sheep's clothing." There are some biblical scholars who interpret this to mean, not like the old Warner Brothers cartoons where Wile E. Coyote would put on a coat of lamb's wool to try and catch a sheep for dinner; ths is interpreted more like the case of a wolf dressing up in the GARB of a shepherd.
Like a house painter putting on their "painting clothes," they are not wearing them to "paint the clothes," but so that as they paint the house, their regular clothes aren't ruined. Yet, we see a man in clothes covered with paint and we can assume he is probably a painter.
So this intepretation says that wolves will dress in the clothing that one who would tend the sheep would wear, dress like shepherds, so that sheep might be led astray, and into the hungry mouths of these false shepherds/ hungry wolves. They look like shepherds, may even talk like shepherds, may even be nice to the sheep for a while; but eventually, their nature will be revealed: they will draw in the lost, and devour those sheep that are not able to discern that this false shepherd/ wolf is NOT the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ.
If you were to go look at a large flock of sheep, they would all pretty much look alike. Yet, in Jesus' use of this imagery, only some of them belong to Him. Those who belong to Him know His voice; He knows them by name, yet among the sheep themselves, they cannot always distinguish from one another.
Normally, this is not a problem as sheep are not cannibalistic, and are hardly threatening to one another. In other words, in the large mixed flock of ALL sheep (those who belong to Christ - the saved - and those who do not - the unsaved) sheep have little to fear from one another.
But false shepherds, wolves who don the same clothing/ costume that a shepherd would wear might be able to infiltrate the flock undetected by those yet unsaved and lure some away to their doom. This is possible because these sheep who are not yet in the fold of Jesus, but are simply wandering through life under His care, are very vulnerable to the wiles of the enemy who seeks to devour them.
Acts 20:29 For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.
Matt 7:15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves."

The real wolf in sheep's clothing are those who claim to worship God the right way but underneath they do not obey the laws set forth in the bible.

---PLEASE NOTE THAT Jesus was referring to the religious leaders who were supposed to be sheep led by the shepherd Christ but were really ravenous wolves!
(Matthew 7:15) “. . .“Be on the watch for the false prophets that come to YOU in sheep’s covering, but inside they are ravenous wolves......
.....“Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. 22 Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ 23 And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew YOU! Get away from me, YOU workers of lawlessness."
--JESUS JUDGED one group of people and they were the hypocritical religious leaders, who had a big part in slaying him!
--PAUL SPOKE of the wolves coming from the ranks of overseers in the Christian congregation:
(Acts 20:28-30) “28 Pay attention to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the holy spirit has appointed YOU overseers, to shepherd the congregation of God, which he purchased with the blood of his own [Son]. 29 I know that after my going away OPPRESIVE WOLVES ( my caps) will enter in among YOU and will not treat the flock with tenderness, 30 and from among YOU yourselves men will rise and speak twisted things to draw away the disciples after themselves.”
--SATANISTS have a different agenda!

I think they're just trying to get attention. People need to keep their beliefs to themselves. Because I know I could care less about the next persons 'spiritual' beliefs, and I'm sure most others are the same.
I have my beliefs and I dont share them with anyone. sorry

I tend to think that satanists are like people who probably watched way too much teevee and/or read too many comic books as kids.

I would think not....sheep can't type, and there are a few satanists on this board.
Maybe you should do something productive with your life instead of bashing stuff you don't understand.
