Many seem to think that Satanists are simply people that worship Satan voluntarily and practice witchcraft. However, that is wrong. I would like to widen the definition of "Satanist" to all those who do not accept Christ. As Luke 11:23 says, all those who are not with Christ are against Him. By not accepting Christ, one supports Satan, regardless of whether he/she knows it or not. Every rejection of Christ grows Satan stronger.
Jews and Muslims think they oppose Satan, although they are actually supporting him by not following Christ. Members of non-Abrahamic religions and non-religious people lack a belief in Satan, although they are actually supporting him by not following Christ.
Not accepting Christ as the Savior is showing support to Satan, and supporting Satan is what Satanists do.

You could have stopped here, why did you not stop here?
"Jews and Muslims think they oppose Satan, although they are actually supporting him by not following Christ."
Christ was Jewish and had no intention on building another church or religion.
Fine, and I think it'll be beneficial if we redefine Christians to anyone that uses "God" or "Jesus" as swear words since they are invoking God anyway.
Redefining words to make your point doesn't work.
"Jews and Muslims think they oppose Satan, although they are actually supporting him by not following Christ."
I think I oppose the Cleveland Browns, but I'm actually supporting them by not following the Pittsbugh Steelers.
I think I oppose Kanye West, but I'm actually supporting him by not following Beyonce.
I think I oppose Jon and Kate, but I'm actually supporting them by not following the Duggars.
I could go on for hours.
Yay! Go Satan! Go! Oo-er, does that mean I'm evil now? But you're not Satanic, Fj, because you say so and because you support an evil cult? Better to be evil than to support Satan is it not? Certainly more Godly. How evil must your parents be to name you Fj?

You go right ahead, sunshine. Of course, not everyone else will go along with you on this.
all those who are not with Christ are against Him
Only extremists speak in absolutes. Besides, there is always the third choice of neutrality whether you recognize it or not.
Wow, what a way to literally demonize people who disagree with you. Just more of the "if you're not with us, you're against us" mentality.
And as far as being 100,000,000 Christians worshiping God on Facebook, looks like your membership is only a fraction of that at 1,093,745 members.
"As Luke 11:23 says, all those who are not with Christ are against Him."
Ah, but Mark quotes Jesus as saying that those who are not against him are for him (and no, that is not the same thing). Since most people really do not care what Christians do in their own homes and churches (an attitude you would do well to try and emulate), that rather blows your little idea out of the water. Or, you could accept that the bible is insurmountably inconsistent and forget the whole thing. Take your pick.
"He who is not against us is for us."Mark 9:40.
So, by your logic, everyone who isn't a card-carrying Satanist should be considered a good Christian, right?
So I've heard the fundies say that Satanists have wild orgies by the moonlight.
And apparently by not being one of them I'm a Satanist.
So where the hell are my wild orgies?
You do realize that there are millions of people who believe that YOU are serving Satan for believing that Jesus is god/god's son, right? Fact of the matter is, there will always be someone out there who thinks you're going to hell. You're just another voice in the crowd.
So Jesus, a Jew, mistakenly thought he opposed Satan, and was in fact supporting him, making him a Satanist. And yet it's because Christians accept this particular Satanist that they aren't Satanists themselves?
Is this one of those "do as I say, not as I do" things that your religion is peppered with?
"I would like to widen the definition of "Satanist" to all those who do not accept Christ."
I would like to widen the definition of "French Toast" to all foods that are not Pizza.
So, stop eating so much French toast, everybody! Eating so much of just one food CAN'T be good for you!

Congratulations. You've just rediscovered the rationale behind all 3 Inquisitions. Boy, you guys are just itching to drop your disguises and get back to the hammer and tongs, aren't you?
Are true "Satanists" even a real thing? I don't think that Satanists, as the fundies characterize them, could actually exist.
Think about it - Satan is a Judeo-Christian concept. To worship the "real" Satan, somebody would have had to read the bible, buy into everything it says (God is all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving, and is going to win in the end), and also buy into the idea that Satan is real, and is a being of pure malevolence who exists for no other purpose than to deceive and corrupt humanity, and then torment them for eternity if they die in sin.
To be a true satanist, someone would have had to read that, accept it all as true, and then say to himself "You know what? I'm going with the other guy."

IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE
EXACT JESUS QUOTE:
"No one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me, for whoever is not against us is for us."
So by your logic, Buddhists are Christians because they don't believe in Satan?
Now present the line where Satan says "all who are against him are with me". can't do it can you? why can't I just hate both of them? is that against the rules now?
also, that's just what Luke said. since when is he the ranking authority on this shit. I thought that was god. really, just because it's in the bible doesn't instantly make it gods word, that only works when god says it. Lukes word is not Gods word. context jackass.
"I would like to widen the definition of "Satanist" to all those who do not accept Christ."
And I would like to widen the definition of "pedophile" to all those who attend Christian churches. See how easy that is?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
