it depends on your belief system. If u choose to worship satan then thats your choice. Personally ( as a believer in god and a worshipper of god) i would obviously say yes it is bad but i would never force my beliefs onto anyone.
LOL Well, bad is your own opinion. Satanists, however, do NOT worship Satan. In fact, I don't think they even believe he is real. Satanists worship nature...I think.
there are two types of Satanist...LaVeyan, those that follow Anton LaVey's teachings and do not believe in Satan as a god, but more of a Jungian Archetype....they do not worship nature they worship themselves in a way....not in a egotistical way...but more as in they strive to be all they can be in all tihngs they care for....go to this website to learn more. www.churchofsatan.com
the other type is Theistic Satanism...which is the worship of satan as an old God, they believe that Satan created the universe...not the christian satan...they use the name satan because it means Adversary....not because of christians....they worship him and his demons, they also respect intelligence....these are not the sadistic teenagers that look at movies and try and imitate it and go kill dogs and such, it is a fledgeling eclectic religion with no governing body, so everyone that practices it mostly practices a bit different.
a good site for this is NOT joyofsatan.com if you do not know about satanism and you go to this site you will be deluded with neonazi, marxist propaganda. and i believe whats ironic is that hitler hated marxism
Id say beliefs dont necessarily make you a bad person, your actions matter most. If your curious and want to find out about a religion that works for you, go ahead. You might get looked down on for your religion or beliefs, but people like that exist everywhere, everyone thinks their beliefs are right, do whats best for you, not what satisfies someone else.
