embrace the chaos.

if i ever wnated to start believing in a higher power, i'd be a satanist.

My "higher power" is myself. I don't believe that Satan is real. He's a mythic figure that I draw inspiration from. He stood up to a tyrant who's the most powerful force in the universe, got thrown into Hell, and just stood up and said, "Okay, I'll make my kingdom here."

"Tyrant" because Satan wanted to cause everyone suffering and encourage all sorts of atrocities, and this "Tyrant" wouldn't allow that :(

Spotted the ignorant zealot.

Satanists don't really believe in Satan. The Satanic Temple is basically the religious embodiment of the ACLU. They're currently raising funds for The Samuel Alito's Mom's Satanic Abortion Clinic. They also run After School Satan in schools that have religious based after school programs.

The Church of Satan is an outlier and shouldn't be counted.

Most Satanists are atheists
