Apparently real Satire of satanic panic propaganda. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Before we had the transgender woke turning kids into violent far left anitifa terrorists, we had:

      Honestly, not to be an edgelord or anything, “God” sounds like a god damn fascist ‘himself’ and heaven is probably full of the worst people. I’d much rather side with the guy that dared to ask questions instead of just blindly following commands.

      Not that I’m religious, or a fan of monotheism in general. If I felt like needed that kind of magic and symbolism in my life, I’d much rather choose the old gods than upside down christianity, personally.

        you might enjoy Hazbin Hotel. Adam (in Heaven) is a narcissistic misogynistic bro abusing his power, while Lucifer (in Hell) is a goofball who collects rubber duckies and is a loving (if slacker) dad to his daughter (the protagonist.)

        Thats the judaochristian concept of God with all the “all knowing all controlling Lord Father King that will punish you forever if you infringe their arbitrary rules”

        Its a shame that western teenagers and disillusioned adults tend to rather reach for satanism as an edgey reactionary “dont actually believe it but want to visibly show I’m against the church” instead of breaking open eastern philosophy books and learning about concepts from things like Daoism or bhuddism. Not all concepts of the Divine are so super controlling arbiters of morality like what our popular religions over here try to sell us on.

          TBH, using eastern religion purely as a “fuck you” to your own society feels like a dick move. Also, there are atheist “satanic churches” - edgy, but humanist and not culturally insensitive.

          I’ll never worship or explicitly follow any religion because a divinity that aligns with my morality won’t care that I don’t pay fealty.
