        That’s not strictly true. They don’t worship Satan, or even believe in “him” as an entity or being, but it’s more than just getting under the skim of the churchians. They anthropomorphize the concept of Satan the archetype and learn from the philosophy of such a being as described.

        Though ironically, they do appreciate one of the “evils” pushed by the biblical serpent: “seeking and valuing knowledge”, which is considered the original sin (as opposed to, say, the first murder, which happened not long after).

          Satanic panic is their whole life. I really pity them. They live in constant fear of not only their god who supposedly “loves” them, but another deity who also doesn’t exist.

            I live with such a person and you are correct. It really is their whole life. Said person put their hands on me and tried to shout the demons out of me because I disagreed with them.

            Funnily enough, no demons were forthcoming.
