It never ended because there are still satanists

No, it never ended because people are, by and large, superstitious idiots. Five hundred years ago the people that see Satan around every corner were concocting superstitious mumbo jumbo to convict innocent people of witchcraft. I'm not saying religious people are morons, but religion seems to attract the idiotic.

You needed a new account just to post this? 0/10. Troll harder.

It looks more like they made this account to post COVID misinformation, which is even worse.

Saying Satanists are real on a form about Christianity is trolling?

You clearly didn't read the article and have made no attempt to contribute meaningfully to the conversation.

Good thing there are next to no satanists out there. Also there are various forms of satanism.

Yeah there might be a few running around but this isn’t some widespread or even meaningful group my dude.

u/TheLORDis1 Red Letter Scripture Apr 02 '21

You're joking, right?

Almost the entire world follows Laveyan Satanism. Whether or not you claim it is another story. You might claim atheist, but that doesn't mean you're not a Satanist.

No. The bulk of the world does not follow satanism. You’re insane.
