I have met some "Satanists" and they have an interesting take on things. All the creepy blood letting, and gross depictions of Satan in the media are all false, they say. They say the bible is just a corrupted record of actual ancient events. So for intance, there was no Global Flood, but there was a catastrophe that inspired the biblical account, which is just a Jewish re-telling of Gilgamesh.
They say the being labled as evil and called Satan, is our creator. He wanted us to attain Godhood ourselves and other beings, now called "Angels" by Xianity, are actively trying to stop humans from reaching that goal. So these pictures in the WT [ a judeo-xian mish-mash] are what "Angels" really look like according to Satanists. They say that "pagan" religion was our first religion, and the true religion. It has nothing to do with evil, or killing, or human sacrifice. They say Xians are the ones doing all that.
When I went to the KH last night, all they Eldubs talked about was how loving Jehovah is. Then I thought of all the genocide, Lot's wife being killed for a natural human reaction, but Lot could bang his daughters and be pronounced righteous...
So Satanist say that "Satan" is good and wants man to have knowledge and advance in technology and spirituality. They say that "JEHOVAH" is made up by the beings that are called "Angels." They say the Bible is purposely made to trap people in an endless cycle of doing nothing but waiting on Jehovah. In the meantime, things go on and evil takes place.
Interesting...
