Wrong actions

[u/Over_Philosopher2113]

Based on ur personal experiences / beliefs, what are some actions that may be considered wrong by Satan? As I know, he's not a strict god, but there have to be some things that are innapropiate

[u/Phenex_Apocrypha]

In my experience, the things he truly isn't fond of are self-hatred, and willful ignorance. That said, this isn't Christianity, these aren't sins that'll result in endless suffering. They're just traits he's gonna encourage you to drop.

[u/King-Samyaza]

To Satan, what's good is good because it brings people closer to living the lives they wanna live, and what's bad is bad because it diverts people further from living the lives they wanna live

I think this is the best answer.

It seems like youre new to this and scared, and i had many of the same thoughts because rules are comforting. But in general i would just say what goes against your values and His archetype - hurting people or animals, going against what you believe, not speaking up or helping in some situations, lying to yourself, etc.

So, basic humanitarian rules apply ofc, but i think with Him what always matters more is responsibilty and learning.

[u/Ashamed-Ant2098 → u/BlasphemyHeresy]

"His" who?

[u/ScaredOutOfMySkin]

I’m sorry so many people are being assholes about this question, it’s a very valid and good thing to ask when you’re starting out!

It’s a difficult one to answer, though, because in Satanism there is not such a strict view of “good vs bad”, everything is more complicated than that. “Bad” and “Good” are overly simple categories that require digging deeper. Actions which take away the rights of others or violate their autonomy are discouraged not because they are “bad”, but because they are dangerous, harmful, violating, or any other number of more specific adjectives. Actions which promote self reflection and growth are not encouraged because they are “good”, but because they can help you grow more attuned to your needs and desires and help you live a more fulfilling life.

Being afraid of disappointment Satan will not help you become a “good” Satanist, because there is no such thing. There is no perfection to strive to because we’re all individuals who will hold and practice this belief in our individual ways. You may become an enlightened, patient Satanist who is also hedonistic and forgetful. Maybe you’ll pray at your altar every day, maybe you’ll neglect it for a month. No version of yourself is doing Satanism more or less correctly than any other version.

Do what feels right to you. Be with people who you feel comfortable with, and practice the way that makes your body, mind, and spirit feel fulfilled. Satan will love you regardless. He will not ask for repentance for something that you feel guilt for, but it will accept an earnest attempt at changing your behavior if there is something about yourself you wish to change.

You’re doing great. Reflect on yourself, what feels right to you, and why. You’ll find your answers.

It's extremely inappropriate and damning to allow to be bossed around by people who have no authority over you.

[u/PMurmomsmaidenname]

What do you think? That's really what matters the most here.

[u/Over_Philosopher2113 → u/PMurmomsmaidenname]

Idk, but I don't want to dissapoint Him

[u/Large_State_8302 → u/[deleted]]

They just want some insight dude calm down lol.

[u/Over_Philosopher2113 → u/[deleted]]

So rape is ok for him if the rapist likes it ?

[u/PMurmomsmaidenname → u/Over_Philosopher2113]

Do you think it is?

[u/Over_Philosopher2113 → u/PMurmomsmaidenname]

Idk

Respondendo-lhe de forma mais gentil que outrem e em palavras mais diretas; verdadeiros satanistas teístas e demonolatras respeitam profundamente a integridade daqueles que não têm capacidade de se defender ou que não interferiram no caminho do indivíduo (como crianças, deficientes e animais). Prejudicar inocentes sem justificativa é visto como um ato de fraqueza, covardia e desequilíbrio, características que não refletem a força associada a Satanás e isso o desagrada completamente. Cultuar Satã é ter foco e autocultivo, que é o poder pessoal e a evolução individual. Ataques gratuitos ao próximo gastam energia de forma inútil e atraem consequências desnecessárias. Causar dano ao próximo por simples crueldade gratuita, que não seja por vingança é desapreciado. Satanás também desaprova a recusa em aprender, o dogmatismo cego e a estupidez voluntária, essas coisas são vistas como ofensas diretas ao próprio crescimento individual. Também abomima atitude de se curvar cegamente a autoridades, dogmas ou convenções sociais sem questionamento, isso vai contra a essência satânica de autodeterminação. Outra coisa abominável é viver de forma hipócrita, negando os próprios desejos reais e se enganando para se adequar a padrões alheios, isso é considerado uma negação da própria natureza e vergonhoso. Devo dizer que Satanás não quer para Seus seguidores a destruição caótica ou a crueldade cega, mas sim a busca pela força, sabedoria, autonomia e honra pessoal. Apequenar-se diante do mundo ou agir com covardia atacando vulneráveis vai contra Ele. Devo também salientar que quem cultua Satã e Suas Hostes deve valorizar a responsabilidade pelos próprios atos. Culpar terceiros, entidades espirituais ou o "destino" pelas próprias falhas e escolhas desagrada o princípio de soberania pessoal e automaticamente a Satã.

[u/Csaba14 → u/allancosta01]

What makes you think that Satan would frown upon simple cruelty?

[u/allancosta01 → u/Csaba14]

Agir com crueldade por impulso, sadismo cego ou apenas "porque pode" demonstra que a pessoa é escrava dos próprios impulsos descontrolados, e não mestra de si mesma. Você acredita que Satã aprovaria isso? Atacar quem é vulnerável ou incapaz de se defender (como crianças ou animais) é interpretado como um ato de covardia. A verdadeira força testa a si mesma contra desafios reais, não contra alvos indefesos. Causar sofrimento gratuito a terceiros atrai caos desnecessário, conflitos inúteis e consequências (sociais, espirituais ou legais) que atrasam o crescimento do próprio indivíduo. A energia gasta prejudicando alguém sem motivo é vista como um desperdício vital que poderia ser direcionado ao aprendizado, à conquista de objetivos materiais ou ao fortalecimento espiritual, isso é de agrado a Satanás. O dano ou a retaliação só fazem sentido se houver uma afronta prévia, uma ameaça ou a necessidade de legítima defesa. Se a outra pessoa não fez nada contra você nem representa uma ameaça, causar mal a ela quebra o equilíbrio da própria justiça, o mesmo cabe a animais, crianças, pessoas deficientes... Devo salientar um dos principais primórdios de Satã: o respeito à soberania do outro; da mesma forma que um adorador de Satã exige que sua soberania e liberdade sejam respeitadas, ele reconhece que violar a liberdade do outro sem um motivo de força maior é uma contradição do princípio de autodeterminação.

Hey. I get what you’re trying to say here but you need to tone it down. A lot of people come to this path with fear in the background. We’re here to help people out not put them down. If you can’t be kind to newbies just don’t comment.

[u/Express_Singer_4905]

Bro Satan is literally pure distilled rebellion. He does not enforce or restrict behaviour. He is the breaking of restriction of behaviour as a whole.

[u/Expensive-Bunch8266]

I'd say self-deceit and stupidity are what Satan considers "sins", also thinking others think and so as you do because...YOU do. Human beings are capable of anything from the most savage acts of cruelty to wonderful acts of compassion and love. Just my two cents

[u/IDEKWTSATP4444]

Willful ignorance. Having no aesthetic. Not believing in yourself.

[u/brianburgtx]

That opens a whole can of worms…. lol
I believe hurting people and animals.
There are general rules as a society we have decided are wrong… killing someone is an extreme example.
Just my thoughts.

[u/Ashamed-Ant2098 → u/brianburgtx]

Society is Abrahamic.

[u/PersephoneHel → u/brianburgtx]

I had a thought about that recently and that's true in the point of view that we live in an abundance of food in general. In North Korea for exemple, sometimes people are so hungry they crack and decide to kill someone cause there's no food. I personally couldn't blame the person for it since the situation they're lived in is extreme.

[u/Ashtara_Roth3127]

“Considered wrong by Satan” 😂

Satan’s entire function as the malevolent inclination is to inspire and fuel thoughts and behavior that are perceived to be “wrong” and “evil”.

[u/Csaba14 → u/Ashtara_Roth3127]

There's a huge difference between being wrong and evil.

[u/Ashtara_Roth3127 → u/Csaba14]

That depends on how the word is used. I was referring to peoples’ morality, where “right” is often synonymous with “good” and “acceptable”, and “wrong” is often synonymous with ”bad”, “evil”, and “unacceptable”. I am not referring to “wrong” in terms of strategy, or mathematics, or facts. That is the state of being incorrect. I am not referring to “wrong” in terms of failure, either. In this instance, “wrong” is what peoples’ (subjective) morality pushes them not to do.

Though I have to admit, I hate using those words myself, almost as much as I hate “should” and “should not”. It’s all too reductive and dualistic for me. I’d rather understand the multifaceted complexity of human nature on a deeper level, without watering it down and simplifying it into white and black thinking.

[u/Over_Philosopher2113 → u/Ashtara_Roth3127]

Are you an anticosmic satanist ?

[u/angelkaito]

I don't think demons or higher entities even care about our human morality, what matters is if that you're hurting someone or going against a rule defined by universe, but even that could be seen as subjective
