Satanism is paganism through the lens of christianity?

AvatarDeshasya Shasakah1 min to read

I was explaining Satanism to a friend. He asks why we look at paganism through the prism of abrahamism, meaning that Satan, in his opinion, is a Christian character and there is no need to call Odin 'Satan'. He doesn’t even want to hear about aliens...

my next thread would be: how to get rid of "friend"😊

You don't necessarily get rid of someone who doesn't share your identical opinions on things, even if it's spiritual matter in my opinion. If this friend is open for conversation, try to share your pov, substantiate it with historical/religious informations. Proof is by our side, and the devil he talked about it's not the devil we worship. Proper conversation can illuminate people who are open minded.

Satanism through the lens of Christianity can be many things, and none of them are correct.

With all due respect, but this kind of thing is dumb to say the least.
Friends aren't meant for that, they serve personal purposes, such as assistance, social validation, and the suppression of loneliness.
You don't need to talk about Satanism to your friends regardless of how close you are to them.

Don't get rid of a friend just because they don't agree with your doctrine, they could be useful in the future.
Like everyone else, you need a good reputation that allows you to live in peace

... εἰ δὲ νοεῖς, ἔστιν, ὦ βασιλεῦ, ϰαὶ σωμάτων ἀσώματα. — Ποῖα; ἔφη ὁ βασιλεύς. — Τὰ ἐν τοῖς ἐσόπτροις φαινόμενα σώματα οὐ δοϰεῖ σοι ἀσώματα εἶναι; — Οὕτως ἔχει, ὦ Τάτ· ϑείως νοεῖς, ὁ βασιλεὺς εἶπεν. — Ἔστι δὲ ϰαὶ ἀσώματα ἄλλα, οἷον αἱ ἰδέαι οὐ δοϰοῦσιν εἶναί σοι, ἀσώματοι οὖσαι, ἐν σώματι φαινόμεναι, οὐ μόνον τῶν ἐμψύχων ἀλλὰ ϰαὶ τῶν ἀψύχων; — Εὖ λέγεις, ὦ Τάτ. — Οὕτως ἀνταναϰλάσεις εἰσὶ τῶν ἀσωμάτων πρὸς τὰ σώματα, ϰαὶ τῶν σωμάτων πρὸς τὰ ἀσώματα, τουτέστι τοῦ αἰσϑητοῦ πρὸς τὸν νοητὸν ϰόσμον ϰαὶ τοῦ νοητοῦ πρὸς τὸν αἰσϑητόν· διὸ προσϰύνει τὰ ἀγάλματα, ὦ βασιλεῦ, ὡς ϰαὶ αὐτὰ ἰδέας ἔχοντα ἀπὸ τοῦ νοητοῦ ϰόσμου. ὁ οὖν βασιλεὺς ἐξαναστὰς ἔφη, Ὥρα ἐστίν, ὦ προφήτα, περὶ τὴν τῶν ξένων ἐπιμέλειαν γενέσϑαι· τῇ δὲ ἐπιούσῃ περὶ τῶν ἑξης ϑεολογήσομεν.

it's not just that. He's annoying. He's always complaining and whining, and doesn't try to improve himself.. and I feel like he's dragging me down.

Do not be around this person any longer then, and cut contact if you see that the relationship is going nowhere.

What is the point? Are they a threat to you? Can you not just cut contact and be done with them?

If you see necessary to remove the bonds with that person, you can do a work to detaching.
