welll... its religion... questions about satanism and luciferianism heelp
Question Posted Saturday March 16 2013, 12:49 pm
i got curious about satanism and what it really is and i found that about Luferism:
-Luciferians
Many see Luciferianism as another branch of Satanism (and generally a theistic branch, although there are some who see Lucifer as symbolic rather than an actual being). However, Luciferians see themselves as a separate religion.
Luciferians use the term "Lucifer" in its literal sense: "lightbringer" in Latin. Rather than being a figure of challenge, rebellion, and sensuality, Lucifer is a creature of enlightenment, the one who brings light out of the darkness.
He does not, however, present his gifts to everyone. Luciferians embrace the seeking of knowledge, delving into the darkness of mystery and coming out better for it.
Luciferians also stress the balance of light and dark and that each depends upon the other. Park of that light and dark pairing is spirituality and physicality. While Satanists revel in physical existence, and Christianity focuses more and spirituality, Luciferianism is a religion that seeks a balance of both, recognizing that human existence is an intersection of the two.
i find that very smart and i like it,but is that so wrong? if you know more stuff about it tell me please,and what does that leave me? believeing in this?
The thing about religion of any kind is that either it false or it is the one true path (and all other religions are by default false). There is no compatibility that I have seen anyways.
Starting out by looking at whether one likes what a religion preaches is kind of pointless. It only matters if the supernatural being they worship does indeed exist. I may love or hate the teachings of Christianity, Islam, Satanism, or some tribe's banana god, but in the end the only thing that matters is if one of these is right. If so, I had better believe in that particular one.
Otherwise it becomes more of a philosophy of how to live rather than a religion.
There is no right and wrong in religion... there is only the concept of hitching your wagon to a horse that actually exists (which of course no one has ever demonstrated). Surely this quest should begin with finding solid proof that Lucifer actually exists - as should the pursuit of any religion.
But to answer your question, it leaves you on par with every other religion and cult out there. Each one will deem your position to be wrong, and some will take offence to the name Luciferianism. But in practice, you will be on equal footing to all of them whether they realise it or not, since no religion has ever come close to fulfilling its burden of proof.
Lol, I take it you disagree :D If the issue of proof is not important to you, why even bother with Lucifarianism? Why not just make your own religion where you can believe EXACTLY what you like? Works just as well. [ Alin75's advice column | Ask Alin75 A Question ]

The definition you've posted here is not the only one, and some Luciferians would disagree with parts of it, but there is no specific Luciferism sacred text, no dogma and no rules to even begin to settle those disagreements.
There are Luciferians who are Neo Pagans and polytheists. There are Luciferians who engage in occult practices or magic, and those who don't. There are Luciferians who are Christian Spiritualists or Gnostics. There are Luciferians who are atheists and simply see the myths as symbolic.
Is it so wrong?
Like pretty much all questions about supernatural Gods and faith, that depends entirely on who you ask.
Most people who follow a major Abrahamic religion (Christianity, Judaism or Islam) will find nearly all kinds of Luciferism are heresy and blasphemy.
