(“The Democratic Coalition of Satan worshippers thanks Governor Tim Walz for not standing in the way of spreading Satanism in the State Capitol building. Satan has a special place for you.”)

Satanism sprouts in our seedy culture, this arena being already smitten by panagyric narcissism, like a sewer-raised, brown-stained, infernal rodent. (see How Satanism conquered America). Satanism itself offers a new-pseudo religion, yet rooted back thousands of years. What makes new Satanism so modern is the claim there is no God and therefore, no Satan, just an enabling cracked mirror, recasting ourselves in an orgy of self-indulgence. So the recent argument goes: Satanism worships a symbolic figure, proving he is just a metaphor for self-expression, or the right to follow your own fancy, in any direction. (see Increased Christianity in schools opens the door to Satanic Temple education programs).

Satan as Original Rebel opposing God as the ultimate Patriarchal tyrant. As seen in Shelley & Lord Byron‘s work from the Romantic Period. Is modern Satanism just the current expression of embittered juvenile rebellion, fixated on our Cult of Narcissism, metastasizing daily, as God Himself gets Nietzsche’s boot to the curb?

MN Gov Tim Walz, Satan Booster! Meanwhile, a story about Gov Tim Walz appeared: “Minnesota’s Governor Tim Walz announced he will not disrupt a Satanic display at the state’s capitol building. Walz’ spokesman said the First Amendment “means that he does not police speech in the State Capitol.” The Satanists saluted Walz with a plaque inscribed with the following thanks: “The Democratic Coalition of Satan worshippers thanks Governor Tim Walz for not standing in the way of spreading Satanism in the State Capitol building. Satan has a special place for you.” (satanic Walz plaque pic below)

He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”

Big Satanism Q’s: Of course the real questions of Satanism includes, If God exists, whether Satan is real? If so, is Satan granted his own powers to rebel, in perpetuity? Ergo, can he grant any prayer requests, via faith? Another--Whether Satan will be cast into hell for a full millennium, as prophesied--but, then--what happens to his devilish acolytes?

Rev 20-1-3: “Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven. He had in his hand a key to the hole without a bottom. He also had a strong chain. He took hold of the dragon, that old snake, who is the Devil, or Satan, and chained him for 1,000 years. The angel threw the devil into the hole without a bottom. He shut it and locked him in it. He could not fool the nations anymore until the 1,000 years were completed. After this he must be free for awhile.”
