Christians, what do you think about this definition of Satanism?

Satanism is based on the God of the Christian Bible.
It has no basis in any other religion or any basis of its own. Take away the God of the Christian Bible and Jesus and there is no Satanism.

So, can we consider Satanism to be just another Christian denomination?
Like Baptists, JW, Mormons, Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists, etc. ?
No, I have not read Isaac Bonewits's essays. But I will now. Thanks for the tip.
Judaism and Islam are Abrahamic religions as well. Same basis and God plus Satan/Lucifer/ what ever.

possibly, most likely

Christianity is Christ-like, to follow Christ.

Satanism is based on full filling ones own self needs with no regards for anyone else

you need to read the Satanic Bible because Satanism has nothing to do with what you said

I understand what you are saying but no, it would not be under the Christian denomination, they are on completely opposite sides of the spectrum

Uh - yeah - and if you take away democracy, there is no totalitarianism, either, so dictatorship is only another brand of democracy! (HAH! And to think the mockers and skeptics keep accusing the Christians of logic deprivation! Perhaps they should start reading their own questions and answers before they point at others!)

Dude read the Satanic Bible that is where you find Satanism, not the holy bible of fiction

the term is Anti-Christ.

Satan is not the ab sense of God, my friend. Satan, better known as Lucifer, is an angel who decided he was better than God. Satanists are humans that feel the same way.

If God does not exist, then Satan doesn't. However both do.

Also: Christianity is what happens when you believe God is your supreme ruler and that he loves you. You try to obey him and believe he knows better. Satan didn't do any of those things; therefore, Satanism cannot be called Christianity.

Have you ever read Isaac Bonewits's essays on the topic? Because it sure sounds like you have.

Satanism is a satanic denomination, not a Christian one; you silly nut.

You cannot consider Satanism to be a denomination of Christianity because even though denominations differ on traditions like baptism, communion, worship, etc. They do not differ on the basic principles. Satanism would put Satan as the leader - over God - which goes against the principles of Christianity.

Satan exists in the Torah as well, albeit in different form.

Satanism cannot be a Christian denomination as it would require Christ centered worship, which is incompatible with Satan centered worship.

there may be more to your question and my answer but you ll have to clarify

first paragraph is true but not the 2ND.....WE DO NOT WORSHIP the devil.

If you think Satan is not mentioned in Judaism, you are misinformed.

Although Satan is mentioned rarely (as compared to the new testament), he IS mentioned... however, Satan is listed in Hebrew text as "the ANGEL Satan"... who is NOT "equal in power" to God, but merely an angel whose job (by God's command) is to TEST man and his faith.

Interesting, but you assume that all denominations of satanism took their mythology from Christianity. the popular Levay stuff is entirely from Anton Levay's imagination, he just liked the word I think.

The only thing in that school of thought that even vaguely resembles christian mythology is that instead of do onto others as you would have done onto you, is do onto others as they have done onto you.

Quoting from link below "... are created together in a single movement, they are bound together as parts of a mutual whole. A race with only men or only women would disappear in a single generation, but men and women together create new generations that allow the race they mutually create (and mutually come from) to survive.The interaction of the two gives birth to things.

No. Most Satanists are not theistic Satanists. Many are atheists. It is more of a philosophy than a religion. It has nothing to do with either Christianity or any other Abrahamic religion.

It certainly has its origins in Judeo/Christian teachings, but it does not owe anything to those religions except its initial conception. Because there is no specific command in either of the Testaments to worship Satan, it cannot be compared to Christianity or Islam or Judaism. God and Jesus were specifically presented as objects of worship, whereas Satan appears only as a servant in the Old Testament and, quite possibly, filling the same role in the New Testament (since his job was to tempt & test man, of which Jesus is one). In either case, Satan is presented as a foil or adversary to God & Jesus, so worship of him is against the worship of God and/or Jesus, not in line with the same tenets, and therefore is not another denomination as you put it. Nevertheless, Satanic worship does still owe its conception to the monotheistic faiths, and therefore could easily be called an offshoot or a result of those religions if not a denomination.

All Christians, me included, are Jews who believe the Jesus is the promised "Redeemer". I don't think that Satanists universally believe this. I, therefore, would not call Satanism another christian denomination.

I have used my own definitions of Christianity and Satanism . People using different definitions will probably reach different conclusions

No it is not another denomination it is the opposite because you take of the most important thing:God That is why it is the opposite.
