As negative as they are satanists are considered a Paganistic religion.


Satanism is, by necessity, based upon Christianity.


The problem is with absolute definition versus accepted definition.
Pagan is actually anyone who believes in a faith system other than
Christianity. Gandhi was a Pagan...as was Buddha and the Dali
Lama. Currently the word "pagan" is used to describe neo-pagans..
an earth based religion. As such, neo-pagans do not believe in Satan or
any being incompassing all evil. So in the accepted meaning,
Satanist are not pagans. Definitions are always so tricky G.


Sorry about the OT posts cat folks. I'm done!


Oops...I was too. Dang! :-)
