Comment on Does anyone struggle with spending money foolishly on prostitutes?

Why would you assume that the teachings of the Christian bible are correct, not in just this matter, but any other? Why not any other scripture? Buddhists, for instance, would say that any desire prevents you from progressing spiritually.

Because Jesus Christ rose from the dead. OP is a Christian and believes that.

Satanists (me!) would say that no desire is inherently wrong, and that it’s how the desire is expressed, and it’s whether it overrides someone else’s autonomy that makes a thing right or wrong.

Why should OP listen to and try to appease a Satanist? Your opinion is irrelevant at that stage. This is the same as a Christian telling an atheist that their gay relationship is wrong. Just reversed.

Any evidence for that, aside from a book that doesn’t cite sources? Look mate, I can believe that Harry Potter really defeated He Who Shall Not Be Named and saved the muggle world from his domination, but does that make it right? Would that be a positive thing to base all of my life on?

This is the same as a Christian telling an atheist that their gay relationship is wrong.

…And yet, they do that all the time, don’t they? Not only that, but they try to pass laws preventing them from happening. Or to prevent trans people from accessing appropriate healthcare. Or to ensure that women don’t have rights to their own bodies.

  The book is the source. And those sources willingly faced torment and execution for that fact.

  I do not condone that.

  Never heard of this happening.

If you’re a satanist, you’re just a Christian who hates God. 🤷‍♂️

I get it, it’s fun saying you’re a satanist to get a reaction from Christians.

  Satanists are like: “We don’t actually believe in satan” which is funny because that’s exactly what satan wants you to think
