Satanism (Part 4)
Modern Satanism
3-2. Modern Satanism is the developmental stage of Satanism, which was founded and developed in a modern, very complex and dangerous way in the 16th century. According to some research, the new Satanism was started by some Englishmen who are said to have been nobles. Of course, there are many changes compared to medieval Satanism, but in any case, the use of Satan’s power in this religion is still the main feature.
The new Satanism is very similar to “humanism”, which considers man to be the supreme being and responsible only to himself. At this stage, the person who worships Satan does not believe in God and considers Satan to be only an ancient symbol and considers humans responsible only to himself and believes that humans alone can distinguish between right and wrong. Satan in this belief is a symbol of the dark force of nature, sensual nature, death, the best sign of power and anti-religion. New Satanism has many branches of belief that have the following principles:
a) There is no God in Satanism.
b) Soul and body are invisible and there is no war between the world of good and evil.
c) Selfishness, there is no god but man himself, and every man is a god.
d) Belief in the originality of the substance.
e) Being anti-religion, especially religions that believe in life after death.
f) not worshiping Satan; because the devil is not a body and has no external existence.
g) Belief in using pleasure to its maximum extent; Because all happiness is worldly and doing them in any way is necessary because they prepare the necessary potential for daily work.
