Especially for the Christians on here, what do you think about Satan being allowed to influence and pervert outcomes of scenarios in our world? And also, that God just allows him to have his way for now instead of just destroying him or intervening to prevent him from influencing specific things in the first place? I mean, its one thing when you have something that is destroyed and there is insurance for it or it is repairable, but the bad stuff that Satan influences are irreversible and its too late to remove the damage. I grew up with parents who were Catholic but I started to question since I was a teenager.

I also want to know how Christians have the strength to be able to reconcile this scenario and the sadness and suffering felt from it with a God that is loving. The thing I gather is that God defines himself as good by definition, so he can pretty much act or not act however he wants to us and it doesn't matter how troubling our emotions are about it, our own emotions and our own logic standard don't matter to him.

Watch the last season of "The Good Place."

It highlights the need for tension factors in the human existence.

God gave humans free will. He is not responsible for the evils in the world simply because he does not stop them. I do, however, believe that prayer can mitigate them.

And then there is the whole big picture thing, where we don't always realize that what seems good is actually bad, and vice-a-versa. And so on.

"Chicago-area prodigy Akiane Kramarik made a name for herself
in the art world at just 8 years old when her painting of Jesus launched her career;"

However, She Painted the Green Eyed Kenny Loggins Version of Jesus Who Never Existed in 'Real Life.'

In Fact, It's an Artistic Tradition of Artists Painting Jesus to Mirror What The Artists Look Like.

Leonardo Da Vinci Was Reported to Wear His Hair Eccentrically Long in His Day Where
That Was Against the Tradition of Male Hair Styles Same as Long Hair for Males
Was Considered A Travesty for Males in the So-Called Days of Jesus Even

As Reported in the Bible; However, That Didn't Stop the 'Last Supper'

From Having A Jesus With Long Hair and European Fair Skin
Like Michelangelo Either; So, What Does this Have to Do with

"What Do You Think About Satan Being Allowed to Influence?"

Well, First oF ALL, iT's Worth Noting That Satan is Mostly Described

As Adversary in Many Parts of the Bible and by Jewish Tradition
More of An Accuser; The Horned Beast With A Tail is Generated By

Artists 'Liberally' Using Their Talents Using Pre-Recorded So-Called

'Pagan' Traditions Well Before Christianity that Depicted A Horned Tailed Beast That Way;

True, Humans in Their Rise to Apex Creature Only Through the Use of Tools Co-Created Were

Digested By More Than One Beast Before We Conquered Our "Superior's" ThiS Way With Tools We Co-Create.

And Of Course Those Tools Include Words; Those Tools Include ARTiFacts We Still Create in Ways of

Elevating Life and Death As Severe As Fears Of Nuclear Holocaust; Speaking of that i Had A Dream

of Darkness Last Night About Holocaust; And i only Woke Up Out of that Darkness God Yes Appreciating

Every Gift of This Existence Even More Real; Namely Love The Most As True i Lost the Ability of Feeling

That And Even the Feeling if i Ever Smiled in A Real Hell Within for 66 Months; And Speaking

Of Heaven (The Living Party or After Death Party) That Depends on Who is Doing the Sermon

or Homily At Church on Sunday or Whoever the Next Person You Chat With in the Pew Next to

You Has a Unique And at Least Slightly Different View too; As True in The Catholic Church i am

Raised in Before And Now Study as An Anthropology Participant Observer As Truly We

All Do Life This Way Day-to-Day As Life is Always A Changing Subject to Study Every

Breath This Way; Anyway, i Visit That Church Every Weekend And Yes Study it and

Take Detailed Free Verse Poetic Notes For the Last 109 Months; Currently, We Have A

Very Literal Thinking Head Priest From my Hometown Directing the Parish and A Haitian Very

Verily Metaphorically Thinking Priest Who Is Afforded only A Few Homilies to Bring likely Because

of His Thick Accent And Difficulty Some Folks Have Understanding Him And That's Not Really Surprising

As His View of Heaven is the Kingdom of God Within As Propagated By Luke 17:21 as Not 'Lo Over There'

Yet Within New Only Eternally Now to Seek and Find For Real; It's Easy to Feel and Sense A Mystical Experience

The Haitian Priest Ascends and Transcends the Ego Word Chatter Part of the Mind As He Presents A Celebration

of Mass; Indeed He Becomes An Essence of Deep Biblical Metaphors of Parables that Describe the Story of Jesus; As

Of Course That is A Cross-Cultural Experience that No One Religion or One Human Owns in Either Tradition Or Cover

That Insists it has the Last Word of 'God' No Different than the Quran And Other

Ego Based Religions that Makes God a Toxic Patriarchal 'He' Without Art For HeART

Without ART For 'sm'ART That Basically Brings A 'Sado-Masochistic' Flavored Religion

That Ironically Also So Much Reflects the Old Testament God; Yuck, 'the Color of Orange' in

Well for starters I tend to prefer evidence-based ideas about the nature of the world ahead of faith-based ideas. But I appreciate that you were asking within a Christian context.

I think the problem of evil makes it difficult to seriously entertain an omnipotent, omnibenevolent God. If a deity exists, it is either not all-loving, or not all-powerful.

I don't think God continuing to allow the Devil's existence is any more problematic than allowing, say, Josef Stalin's existence. Or, for that matter, the existence of literally any creature that is liable to hurt another.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again. God will always be more 'evil' than Satan in my opinion.

Christians used to burn people alive just for not belonging to their religion or for being suspected of witchcraft. I could go on forever about the cruel things God's worshippers have been doing for centuries but why bother when I know it always falls on deaf ears...

It appears satanists are atheists who believe there is mysterious supernatural powers operating in the universe.

So a satanist will say there is no god no devil no commandments from higher up do what you like and f**k everyone else, to put it simply.

I should imagine a satanist world would be very unpleasant especially for many of us disabled people that rely on the good will of society.

It appears to be unofficially the fastest growing religion given what I said above. I suspect many elite figures have a satanist approach to life.

Didn’t they say the greatest trick the devil pulled was making people think he didn’t exist?

The only proof of satan existing that i can think of is the mark of the beast.
in the bible it says that people will need a mark on their hand or forehead to buy or sell.

we already have contactless and if someone had a barcode tattooed on them they could use it to buy & sell, or if they had an implantable microchip.
So if that starts to become a reality you know the devil is real.

The term I think they're reaching for is 'Darwinian evolution', or ripping that down to it's constituent incentives and actions they're talking about the landscape of what are referred to as 'multipolar traps'.

Multipolar traps, 'Moloch', that pretty much covers it for me. There could be transpersonal parasites doing damage as well but they're just further utilization of the same principles.

if you are going to follow christianity at least look at it through the lens of the gnostics.

To the initiated, the nature of christ, the holy spirit, satan and god the father is within us all. They are just manifestations of our own nature. To understand the allegories in the bible takes your mind to some place of understanding and makes you a gnostic initiate (basically able to say you have gnosis or knowledge)

The satanic nature of humans is allowed to blossom, it is happening now, it has happened before and it will happen again.

But then you say Jesus going on the cross is just an allegory...so then you dont believe
believing is all you have to do to get salvation.

A Free Spiriting Winging Visitor
Coming to my Sister's Home Deep
in A Forest And Real Garden of Eden

Next Door Yes Returning Now For 4 Years
to Spend October Through April Reliably Within
A Few Days of Return And Exit in A Life Span on

Average of 5 to 6 Years As She Also Reliably Feeds
The Hermit Thrush Bird She Names Herman Every Single
Day A Diet or Raisins Through The Course of Herman's Entire

6 Month Staycation At Her Home Again Deep in The Forest Next
Door to Our Real Garden of Eden too As Amazingly the Hermit Thrush

Travels Thousands of Miles to Return to the Same Home Each Year For
Four Years Now And What i Find So Sad Is Humans Who Believe They Must

Have Some Kind of Instruction and Lesson Book to Find 'God' When Yes That
Same Book Once Again As i've Already Clearly Identified Says The Only Place One

Will Find the Kingdom of God And Heaven is By Seeking And Finding This Real Place Within

And No WHere

Else Yet the

Temple of Our
Body that Truly
Houses This Free
SPiRiTiNG Innate
Instinctual Intuitive

Way of Inhaling Peace
Exhaling Love At Best Giving
Sharing Caring Healing For All

With Least Harm iN JoY oF LiGHT

Where Life Becomes A Staycation of Love

Real After All is Dancing And Singing God Is Love THiS Way For

Real This Greatest Force of Breath We Deliver to Others Free Truly

Yet Like the Story of Buddha Suggests Don't Bow to 'me' Don't Worship

'me' Rise Up Find God Within Yourself Like the Story of Jesus Per Luke 17:21 Relates

too and Don't Let Works of Jesus or Buddha or Lao Tzu Be Enough Like John 14:12 Dances

Sings Do Greater Works of LoVE iN Peace Than Jesus, Buddha, And Lao Tzu in Balancing Force of

Peaceful FLoWinG LoVE

And Wings

Will Be Yours
of Love to Fly Freer Higher

FRiEnDS With Gravity Indeed

Same Way Herman Does Life too

He finds His Way to A Home of Love
That Feeds Him Free Every Year Without

A Single Word of A Book To Find Nature of 'God' For Real...

Meanwhile Many So Called Christians Have a Book And a Revelation

That Describes an Adversary That Reflects The New Christian 'Mr. T'
Yes to A 'T' INdeed All 'Orange Flavored' And Sick When it Comes to

Anything Related
to Empathy,
Compassion,
And Love, And Truly
A Father oF All Lies For Real

And More Than Likely This Is Why Jesus in A Desert
Sought Out God Within To Become FRiEnDS
With the Adversary Shadow Within True too

Per Story at Least as Basically When Folks Try

To Fit the Nature of God that is the God of Nature

in A Book Those Abstract Constructs Inevitably

Are Twisted as Metaphors for the Next

Demagogue to Rule the 'Masses'

Who Have Become Verily Too
Ignorant By 'Pills of Books'

To Find Real God Within Nature

Naked Enough Whole Complete

Like Herman the Hermit Thrush of Course...

Salvation according to the Christian Religion
Means Being Saved From Missing the Mark
in Sin and Death Yet You See for Those Who

Have Truly Witnessed Enough Suffering in Life
Or Endured it Themselves They Understand The True

Blessing of Life And The Sacrament of Mercy Death Truly Is As

Much of A Gift
As Birth is For Life

So Meanwhile Folks Look to
Heaven in A Dirt Nap And Sadly

In So Many Cases Are Deterred From

Ever Truly Living in Peace And LoVE iN THiS LiFE

As They Separate Themselves From Nature Their Nature
And The Nature of Peace and Love of Others Globally True

As They Attempt to Own
Love in One God And One
Man And One Word Alone

And they Tend to Forget
That God is A Four Letter Word

For All With No Exceptions Free

As A Wing on A Bird Without A God Damned
Word Spirit of Love With Wings More Than Enough to Free...

A Worst Kind of Hell is the One That An Adversary Brings to
Subjugate Control And Master the Freedoms of Others in A World's Biggest

Lie That

the Kingdom
of Heaven and
And God is Anywhere
Else True Yet Newly Now Within our
Temples of God Nature With Wings or Not...

A Real God May Be Identified As Love As Long As It is Not A False God Indeed...

I know you’re deliberately simplifying but I want to pick up on a few things.

Firstly, Satanists don’t believe in supernatural forces. Satan is understood as a metaphor for natural processes like entropy and instinct.

Secondly, Satanists are not avaritionists who advocate for living a life of pure self-indulgence and self-preservation. They advocate for kindness to the kind and help for those who deserve it. I feel that’s unduly cynical (who can tell who “deserves” help?) but it’s a long way from “I’ve got mine”.

You've described the Church of Satan's belief system. There are other kinds of Satanism too. See, for example, the Wikipedia article on Satanism.

These days the most energetic form of Satanism seems to be the Satanic Temple, which also is atheistic but otherwise has a very different worldview from the Church of Satan.

I do not like that idea at all. That idea scares the living daylights out of me. I'd rather that Jesus be the influence of the world.
