Satan gets a bad rap. He is the good guy. His only "crime" is wanting freedom and liberty and pointing out that God is a control freak and authoritarian fraud.

LOL that is one way to look at it.


I think that is an interesting perspective, whether you are serious or not.

Totally serious. Satan's only crimes in the bible (apart from Job) are speaking out against a megalomaniac .

Dwindling In Unbelief: Who has killed more, Satan or God?
In a previous post, I counted the number of people that were killed by God in the Bible. I came up with 2,476,633, which, of course, greatly underestimates God's total death toll, since it only includes those killings for which specific numbers are given. No attempt was made to include the victims of Noah's flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, or the many plagues, famines, fiery serpents, etc., with which the good book is filled. Still, 2 million is a respectable number even for world class killers.

But how does this compare with Satan? How many did he kill in the Bible?
Well I can only find ten, and even these he shares with God, since God allowed him to do it as a part of a bet. I'm talking about the seven sons and three daughters of Job.

If spells are as powerful as prayer seems to me we have nothing to worry about. Let them all wave their magic wands and do fairy dances at midnight inside a stone circle half naked. It will do nothing. Just like I've seen prayer do for people over and over. Nothing. As long as you don't cross the line and hurt someone who cares?

If you really believe that spells can be cast and prayer wishes are just granted when asked the debate is pointless. Just pray for them satanists to leave then. Shouldn't that take care of it?

NO. Encircling the city and its inhabitants in a witchcraft pentagram which may or
may not be inverted (which they mistakenly or intentionally deceitfully describe
in their website) was not asked for, is not approved of and should not be received.
They have an inverted pentagram on the webpage, but did not say if the pentagram
would be inverted in the ceremony.
I will not presume familiarity on these subject to anyone here, however
if I lived in that city I would work hard to make sure this didn't happen.
I realize that these ceremonies take place secretly but that is another
matter when they are done without the foreknowledge of the population.
Why ? Why is because that foreknowledge signifies acceptance and approval
which gives the ceremony greater power.

Do you really believe that people congregating at 5 points in the city, and chanting and making speeches, can curse you and do you harm?

Lancaster Pentagram Ritual of June 6 – The Satanic Temple Los Angeles

"It is in this spirit of benevolence that we announce our presence in your city and offer the citizens of Lancaster the traditional Satanic symbol of protection from evil, the Pentagram.

To the Satanist, the Pentagram symbolizes the triumph of matter and individual spirit over dogma, earth over an illusory promise of the afterlife. It is a symbol of our dedication to fight against tyranny and the oppressor of individual liberty.

The Pentagram is a star with five points, using GPS technology we will place the five points of the star so that the Pentagram will encompass your entire city. When all of the points are in place, the Pentagram is completed. Drawing this symbol around your city represents a solemn promise from us, The Satanic Temple of Los Angeles. We will stand with the good people of The City of Lancaster and struggle for our constitutional right to individual liberty, freedom of expression, and the separation of church and state in your community.
