And since I'm lazy and we don't proselytize it was never an issue.I don't fully understand your religion and that's fine, I don't need to.
That tracks.In my faith, Satan is the embodiment of all that is evil. There are no good sides to Satan...it's PURE evil, period. He's not the boogeyman, he is the darkness to God's light.
And that had a lot to do with the choosing of the name. Plus, go big or go home. Very few fence sitters or trend chasers take the name of the anthropomorphic embodiment of evil and entropy.The name Satan evokes that from people who share my faith.
I'm not looking for a philosophical debate on faith, mine or yours, but when Christians, or most anyone from the big 3 religions, hears Satan evoked...that's what springs to mind for us...rightly or wrongly and that's understandable.
It's not a faith. It's a philosophy with some elements of religious dogma sprinkled on top.That doesn't mean that people who believe as you believe should be unfairly prosecuted or persecuted because we don't understand or don't appreciate your faith, of course. In other words, you convict on evidence, not on prejudice.
I will say this, things were a lot simpler before the Social Justice Warriors borrowed our name.
