Satanism Expert Explains Modern Satanism in 6 Terms

Video Overview & Insights

Dr. Joseph Laycock joins me to discuss 6 terms he used in his book about The Satanic Temple: Speak of the Devil. As the book says, TST is changing the way we think and talk about Satanism, and these terms help us understand how that is happening.

I’m producing an online course with Dr. Joseph Laycock on horror, film, satan, and American religion!

Terms discussed:

Non-supernaturalist religion

Atheistic Satanist here, part of the LaVey Satanic Bible tenets state that children, animals, and non consensual adults are not under any circumstances to be harmed. So sacrificing animals (unless you’re fringe society idjits) wouldn’t ignore these rules. I myself love animals, I even have a dog we rescued from a kill shelter.

Religious pluralism

Therapeutic blasphemy

Counter myth

Culture jamming

God will soon let the people in the world have what asked for

Appropriating the discourse of evil

Dr. Laycock’s work:

Revelation 20 10.....The Devil and his demons ( Fallen Angels) hate humans because they are created in the image of God , were made higher than Angels( Satans Jealousy)and have the power through JESUS the CHRIST ( the risen Savior - John 3:16)to destroy the works of darkness. Several years ago I was visited by the Devil himself ( sober/ no medication). I was sleep alone and positioned on my back, facing east. I looked left and next to me stood an angel approximately 7ft in height, with wings and horns. His horns are about 2 inches in height and curl at the tips. Lucifer the fallen Angels isn't red as portrayed by Hollywood, but he looks rather human. He had a look of disgust on his face and in his left hand was something very similar to an Olympic torch. He had a full head of hair very similar to that of Julius Caesar and a full beard without a mustache ( trimmed very low). He had a thick robe, but I couldn't see his feet from my position in the bed.. The apartment building I resided in at the time was full of demonic activity.. The devil will use you to destroy you because all he want is your soul in the end... I survived an armed robbery at gun point ( gun to the back of the head) and I'm thankful to GOD that I'm still here today... JESUS IS LORD Psalm 23 John 10 10 John Psalm 91 Revelation 20 10 Isaiah 54:17❤❤❤❤❤ Plead the blood of Jesus the Christ over your family members, friends and yourself each and every day!!!! In hell there's regret, without debate ( you chose it by rejecting JESUS as LORD and SAVIOR) and in heaven there's rejoicing/ praise and worship . Those who transition to hell will be shown all of the times they rejected Jesus Christ as LORD and SAVIOR and having a form of Godliness but denying the truth ( unforgivness and deliberate disobedience/ luke warm).GOD loves us ( John 3 16 Romans 10 9) Pray for Venezuela ❤❤❤❤

The Satanic Temple isn’t “widely followed” Satanism. It’s a progressive LARP wearing the skin of something ancient and merciless. its a joke 😂

Non-sectarian Biblical Studies Courses by Dr. Bart Ehrman (affiliate link):

So in vid he’s saying all the robes, drama, & pretend shock factor involved with “the satanic temple” publicity stunts all just entertainment as they don’t believe in “biblical satin” just “poetic satin”…..however it is obviously the “biblical satin” being used to project fear, shock, attention intentionally toward the embodied moniker & self deluded/perceived notoriety they feel jumps to them when under “satins” umbrella ..obviously just a means to to maintain a desire public image they actually convince themselves is changing the world…..no body cares about or fears the word “satin” these days unless they’re amongst the few still left believing in corrupt control systems using recycled/refurbished tales from antiquity to manipulate public sway of believers toward fear based blind devotion & substantial “charitable”donations across entire lifetimes….purely based on legal definition identifying religious institutions… I don’t think any other global religion could get away with amassing a fortunes the size the Catholic Church has.. assumably because for some reason they are exempt from all external legal prosecution
Catholicism is much closer to “satin” than “the satanic temple” will ever be..the wealth and secrets the Vatican has amassed whilst preaching lack & infinite generosity to all in need..
..how is a church biggest global land owner???, exempt from any/all external/global laws???
allowed multiple Vatican sized levels of restricted “archives” hidden underground, despite being common global knowledge and only reason for church to hide such vast quantities of information no one outside high churchcan only be an act of self preservation information from entire population

Wasn’t the CHARACTER “satin” created by Catholicism to ensure “fear of god” present and driving membership numbers & $…so doesn’t that mean “satinism” is actually belief in Catholic propaganda??????
….how can “the satanic temple” be a religion when members don’t believe in “satan”…why not make up new name to go along with made up “satanic” ideals ….is it because they enjoy the delusion of feeling powerful/feared/intimidating under “satins” umbrella.
Isn’t Gnosticism or hermeticism a closer reality alignment than a false moniker of “satinist” ???
Why not make up totally new “religion” instead of steeling attention from pre existence….
Lastly why fake childlike horns in place of legitimate satinists with under skin horn implants …instead of child’s Halloween mask horns when in front of cameras.
Attention seeking, loneliness, social grievance, power hunger seem to be most common characteristics of “the satanic temple” non satanic believers…what’s the point, useless and detrimental as organised religion…why the need to identify with/as something instead of self…non beneficial to anyone…..is it ego petting are satirists that fragile??????

I have my own religion and it changes almost constantly, i like christians, i goto church, i consider my self a christian although other may not, for me its extreme inclusionary christianity. Christianity or other religions are simply language i use to talk with others about the mystery of god, and the universe. I can talk with just about anyone.

I have strange beliefs based on my life experiences, i dont judge people in general, but hate, anger, nastiness and violence, i dont want to be associated with. I want friends who get along and tolerate me and my beliefs however they are, i find some people cannot tolerate me, ignore them if i can and get away from them.

This video contains 100% therapeutic grade skepticism.*

*This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA

I think Satanist only message is opposition. Its attention seeking at its extreme. Shock is their tool. Why would anyone take them serious as opposed to laughing at them.

If they ever became a real threat they would emiminated quickly.

Myths are fungible narratives as part of language, underlying this are real values, so if Satanists try to d3stroy these real values ws would fight. Free speech, free will, Love of God and neighbors, Traditional liberal values.

I use to have extreme internal conflict over religion and faith. One day I decided that I just wasn't going to worry about it anymore. If its not good enough for god that I make legitimate efforts to better myself and the world around me, I wouldn't want to worship them anyway.

@Turk3y89

Anyone among you who really worship satan. Let me open your eyes bcs you are blind fools thinking God won’t punish you. ALL OF YOU ARE HERE IN PRISON. YOUR SOULS ARE IMPRISONED IN THESE HUMAN BODIES AND YOU ARE UNDER TRIAL! YOUR TRIAL IS TO RENOUNCE SATAN AND WORSHIP TO ONE TRUE GOD. FAILING TO THAT WILL BRING YOU TO ETERNAL HELL SINCE YOU LOST IN THE HEAVENLY WAR AND NOW YOU ARE IN THIS HELLISH WORLD LIVING IN FEAR AND SUFFERING!

How stupid and fool you are to worship Satan?

Satan is just an angel. He can never beat God. He even could not beat Michael or Gabriel during the heavenly war. He is a loser. An angel cannot beat its own creator. Are you stupid?

And have you ever once stopped and think this: If satan is real; then Michael and Gabriel must be real. If these angels are real; then, God must be real. If God is real; then, heaven and hell must be real. And if hell is real; where would a satanist go when he dies? ETERNAL HELL. In there, you will be tortured, humiliated, and punished FOREVER.

This is not a JOKE!

Repent and ask for mercy and forgiveness.

If you think God is an easygoing entity; you are mistaken. He is loving towards his genuine servants. He is highly punishing and scary towards his enemies!

If you find Satan scary; it is because you never meet Michael.

And when it comes to God, I guarantee you that he is way scarier.

And if you delusionaly think God won’t punish you; just take a look at the world.

The wars, disease, sickness, poverty, pain, suffering.

God does not care about his enemies. This world is nothing but a place to prove that you achieve to redeem your soul. It is just a chance given to you.

COME TO YOURSELVES. You don’t have much time left.

I guarantee you that God will take his revenge. Do not think he won’t punish you just because there are wicked and successful people. This life is at most 100 years. Hell is Eternal. He gives them money and power for them to commit even more crimes so during the day of judgement they will be shown all kind of evil they committed and they will not be able to defend themselves. God is just proving right now they are wicked and deserve punishment.

Open YOUR EYES! Satan is not your friend. He cannot be a god because he is evil. He will be your prosecutor during the judgmenet day!

Is this Abrahamic God you worship letting you down? he is big on promises and small on substance, are your prayers being ignored and you seem to always be going backwards whilst people who are not religious are prospering?

You have to admit it Jesus is a failure and you would do just as well to find another entity to pray to. This is where the church of Ahriman comes in, no more going down on your knees begging the invisible guy in the sky for favors, It didn’t work in the past and it is unlikely to work in the future so you should discard Jesus and join the church of Ahriman where you will learn and progress through the dark arts to a point where you will explore the Cosmos, fulfill your dreams and discover the real meaning of life.

21:27 the other Problem with the myth of Christian America is that American Christians believe a lot of things that the Churchfathers might have considered heretic (i.e. Rapture, Prosperity Gospel and the belief in Witchcraft (arguably the Satanic Panic is a move towards Manichaeism))

Be weary of The Satanic Temple…it’s not what it’s all cracked up to be. I’m an atheist too and I wanted to like them, but there is some evidence Graves is nothing but a racist and a conman. He has appeared in podcasts being very “chummy” with racists, klansmen, and Nazis. One of them being the senior Metzger. Just a warning.

The channel “Dead Domain” did a brilliant job on an expose of TST.

I am an chrstian and I will be praying for everyone who is part of satinism. This truly is very sad. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the light. Even though many call themselves christians but don't act like one, doesn't mean that all christians are like that. Christianity is not a religion. It is faith is our Lord and accepting Jesus as our lord and savior, and believing that he died for our sins. Everyone sins but thankfully we are forgivin and will not face eternal suffering because of Jesus. I love Jesus and this is also why I am writing this so that more people can come to know him.

Early religion which was actually more cultural beliefs in geo location wasn’t based on supernatural entities really. It was based on things that they wanted help with or felt threatened by so the gave offerings. An example of this could be sol and luna which was literally the want or need for plentiful crops and harvests. Animals that they felt threatened by or revered such as a lot of peoples favorite egyptian deity, anubis. The jackal was originally observed robbing shallow graves. So the gave offerings, observed, etc and concluded if the grave wasnt robbed that the persons body and soul were equal to that of ma’at. If it was stolen they were said to have lived a life not in alignment with ma’at. These beliefs were literally used as a way to try and make sure they were successful in what they were doing at the time.

The most evil, self-centered people I have had the misfortune to entangle myself with were “Christian” men (and some women). The level of entitled thinking around, “God favors me and mine, so it doesn’t matter how I treat people, nature, animals” was ASTOUNDING…🤮
