How many satanists in the world?

[Mike_Yates]

I read that there could be as many as 250,000,000 satanists world-wide. Many of them are "hidden" and "protected" by shady and conspiratorial machinations of government, media, and law enforcement.

There could be as many as a dozen "secret" satanists and pedophiles within your own neighborhood! If you find them and begin outing them, you will be dead faster than you can hit the ground. And no, you will not be allowed to have any legal channel, they are above the law.

I can't count how many cases of satanic ritual abuse and satanism-related child molestation have been covered up by the authorities at the local/county/state/federal/international level.
There is also a disturbing number of people in places of high power and authority who are involved with secret societies and satanic worship. We're talking about presidents and foreign prime ministers, congressmen and senators, CEO's and executives of giant corporations, directors of government agencies, billionaires, and so forth.

These aren't isolated cases, this is a conspiracy.

it's a d&d religion, so none. all the satanists i've known were just losers that it was cool to call themselves evil.

Satanism isn't logical to me. If you worship Satan, I assume that means you believe in Satan. Who wants to spend eternity in Hell?

That's why you become a fallen Satanist: To get sent to Heaven...

Satanism pre dates Christianity. It is a philosophy not a diety.

I don't think that is true.

I was a Satanist for a couple years when I was in high school, so maybe I can shed light on the thinking that I had anyway.

Basically, I believed that all human beings are capable of knowing right from wrong (the "fall" into sin), yet all sin to some extent anyway. At the time I held a pretty standard Christian view that any sin causes one to fall short of the standard of moral perfection God demands of each of us and thus disqualifies one from spending eternity in heaven (condemns them to hell after death).

However, I never believed in the Jesus story. It didn't seem logical to me that one Jewish proto-hippie letting himself be nailed to a couple of boards two thousand years ago was anywhere near close enough to atoning for all the sin and evil that all humans throughout time have ever committed or will ever commit. It just didn't seem like a valid trade (all the sin of all time vs. one dude nailed to a telephone pole), so I never believed it was possible to be saved from the wages of sin. Therefore, since it was inevitable that all humans would go to hell it made sense to try to get in good with the Devil ahead of time so that you would at least possibly get a more priviledged position in the afterlife than others.

At least that was my thinking on the issue at the time. BTW, I never hurt little animals, I've always been an animal rights advocate. I don't think Satan has any particular dislike for little animals anyway.

That's a completely different 'ism.
