Satan. The very name conjures images of horns, pitchforks, and clandestine rituals in dimly lit dungeons. For many, the idea of following Satan is synonymous with joining a secretive cult or engaging in overtly dark practices. But what if the truth is far more insidious? What if you don’t need to pledge allegiance to a Satanic cult to be a follower of Satan? What if the essence of Satanism is not found in rituals or symbols, but in the way we act, think, and interact with the world around us?
Satan, whether viewed as a literal entity or a metaphor, represents a set of qualities that are undeniably present in modern society. At its core, Satanism can be seen as a philosophy that celebrates division, malice, deceit, and chaos. It is the embodiment of traits that seek to harm, manipulate, and destroy. And in this sense, there are countless individuals who, knowingly or unknowingly, align themselves with these principles every single day.
The Faces of Modern Satanism
Consider the internet troll who spends hours crafting hateful comments designed to provoke and hurt. Is this not a satanic act? The troll’s intent is not to engage in meaningful dialogue or foster understanding but to sow discord and misery. Their actions are divisive, malicious, and often cloaked in anonymity, allowing them to strike without accountability. This behaviour is not just unpleasant—it is a manifestation of the very qualities Satan is said to represent.
What about the racist or the hate monger? These individuals actively seek to divide society, often using lies and propaganda to fuel their agendas. They operate with malice, targeting vulnerable groups and seeking to erase their humanity. Is this not satanic? Their actions are rooted in deceit and aggression, and their impact is undeniably destructive.
Then there are the dictators and fraudsters. The former ruled with an iron fist, crushing dissent and exploiting power for personal gain. The latter manipulates trust to swindle and harm. Both operate with a mindset that prioritises self-interest over the well-being of others, often resorting to lies, intimidation, and violence to achieve their goals. These are the hallmarks of Satan’s influence, are they not?
Finally, there are the abusers—whether physical, emotional, or psychological. Their actions are designed to control and dominate, often leaving scars that last a lifetime. This is not just harmful behaviour; it is a reflection of the satanic qualities of malice and manipulation. The abuser, like Satan, seeks power over others, often at the expense of their humanity.
The Philosophy of Satan
At its core, Satanism is not about rituals or dogma; it is about a way of being. It is a philosophy that celebrates chaos, division, and harm. It is the rejection of empathy, compassion, and unity. Satanism, in this context, is not something confined to a specific group or belief system. It is a mindset that can be found in individuals from all walks of life.
In this sense, Satan is not just a figure in a red suit with horns; he is the face of modern society’s darker impulses. He is the voice of the troll, the hatred of the bigot, and the manipulation of the abuser. Satan is the sum of all the negative traits that humans are capable of, and his followers are not just those who don a black robe and chant his name—they are anyone who chooses to act with malice, deceit, and aggression.
The Choice to Follow
The most insidious aspect of Satanism is that it is a choice. Every time we opt to spread hate instead of love, to lie instead of tell the truth, or to harm instead of help, we are, in a sense, aligning ourselves with the principles of Satan. This is not to say that every negative action is inherently satanic, but rather that the accumulation of these actions—when they become a pattern of behaviour—can be seen as a reflection of satanic influence.
The good news is that this choice can also be reversed. By choosing to act with kindness, empathy, and integrity, we can reject the influence of Satan and instead embrace a way of being that uplifts and unites. The battle between good and evil is not usually fought in grand, apocalyptic showdowns; it is most often fought in the choices we make every single day.
You don’t need to join a Satanic cult to be a follower of Satan. All you need to do is act in a way that reflects the qualities he represents: division, malice, deceit, and aggression. In this sense, Satan’s followers are not just a fringe group of extremists; they are the trolls, the racists, the dictators, the fraudsters, and the abusers. They are anyone who chooses to harm, manipulate, and divide.
But here’s the thing: we all have the power to choose. We can choose to be followers of Satan, or we can choose to be something greater. We can choose to be forces of love, compassion, and unity. The question is, what will you choose?
