OT:
Thanks Tom, you are a good soul. It`s been a good debate, and like you, I have learned much from it. We are all pupils in this school house we call existance.

You are welcome.....oh, about the disagreeing born agains, I brought up a point last week and I thought that the lot of them were going to tar and feather me from the couch. They are stuck in religious icons that can't do no wrong. I named about 7 names of Evangelicals that are misleading and basically lying to their "flock" on TV. I mean if one is going to be an atheist, then so be it but don't be an atheist and argue for the existence of God. Well, these "Born Again" Christians are not giving Biblical principles that are supported by no stretch of the imagination. If you are Mormon then you will give the beliefs of Mormons from their book. Oh well, I go again tonight and will look for buckets of feathers....lol.........and if I smell tar melting in the backyard.....well, I'm outta there......)

The catch-phrase "satanism" is also used by the more twisted and perverse elements of society who involve themselves in real crimes and real evils.



(Inrespect To SkyFloating) Just as like in any "following", there are the wannabies and there are the followers. Thereis within a secter of "satanism", a real group of people which does follow the proper ways of "satanism". Those people do NOT act all wearing black clothes, wearing goth items on their body...and so on. I do know this, because I was sortof into it.

I agree with you, Satanists are mostly ordinairy people, with their own beliefsystems. First of all, there is a wide variety of satanism, I'd say the two most important ones are LaVeyan/modern satanism and theistic satanism, and second, the term satanism is being misused by people as well. Satanism is not about sacrifices, it is not about blood, hate, evil as a lot of people seem to think. What surprises me, is that a lot of non christians see satanism as something evil as well.

of course they are not the same.
occultism is just another (older) term for spirituality. In about 1900 when esoteric became more popular, it was used more often.
today one thinks more of something hidden, dark (or black magic) just because of the old term.
