Would you mind sharing what your beliefs are? Makes it easier to see where you coming from
. Perhaps in another thread?
I suppose I might as well, even though it would be the demise of my membership here . . .
Friends, Opposers . . . After reading through much of this forum I see a great many who are very sincere and devoted to their Faith, that are living life and allowing their Faith and its lessons to guide them through difficult times. I find all of this wonderful. I believe religion supplies us with comfort and community . . . until it is used as a weapon against others.
I am a non-theistic Luciferian and one of the Hierophants of a world wide Luciferian Order.
Don't mistake Satan as only the anti-Christian boogeyman created by the Judeo-Christian world. He is much more than that Abrahamic name, Satan has always existed, only under other names and guises, Satan is a powerful and primordial archetype of man's psyche.
This archetype is the reflection of how we perceive ourselves in relation to what we call the "others". Satan is the negative definition of what we believe is human. He is a social and cultural phenomenon and as old as humanity itself. There has always and will always, be essentially two worldviews consisting of oppositions and they are "Us & Them".
Sumerian and Akkadian tablets concur this worldview from the earliest known writings, the ancient Egyptian word for an Egyptian meant "human", the Greek word for non-Greeks was "barbaroi". The Jewish Essenes called non-Essenes "ha satan" (adversary), Zoroastrianism set forth the dualistic "good" (what we believe in) and "evil" (what they believe in).
"A society does not simply discover its others, it fabricates them, by selecting, isolating, and emphasizing as aspect of another people's life, and making it symbolize their difference" - William Scott Green (Professor of the history of religion - ancient Judaism, biblical studies, and the theory of religion).
So, who is this Satan? He is who you are not!
If you are going to ask "Do Luciferians Worship Satan?" The answer is "no".
We do not worship Satan nor even believe in Satan or an actual Lucifer for that matter! We believe that the objective / physical universe is a product of rules, principles, geometric order and quantum physics, that there is no such thing as an Almighty Divine Architect Creator. That the true god is within all of us and that we are individual deities wandering around in this darkness searching for the Light . . . which as you guessed it, Lucifer will bring.
Outside of a few rather nasty people here, my stay was more than pleasant and very informative, I respect people who can back up what they believe in. I never intended to be harassed to the point of senseless ad hominem attacks.
