Hays, Kansas bans Satanist attire.

I did not say that. Go back and reread my post.

He didn't say it was. He said quote mining is a sin, by which I presume he means that cherry picking scriptures to present a false impression of what the ENTIRE Bible says is dishonest.

Is this what you mean? "cherry picking" scriptures to present false impression?
If yes, what exactly is false in "Telling someone to jump off the roof is good?"

Not all religions have worship (Buddhism often doesn't), and some Satanists do believe in a literal Satan and worship him.

If there are Satanists who worship Satan and those who don't, which ones represent what Satanism is?

Same with Christians. Some seem to worship Jesus without following his teachings and others do both.

 

[John53]

Does the voltage difference between both ears pass a satanic AC or DC?

Both of course, it's magic.

Not many get caught up in such endless drivel.

 

[Heyo]

Seems reasonable to me.

1. These are kids. They don't get to be deliberately stupid and offensive until they are adults.

2. The same applies to nazi garb, whorish get-ups, street gang bull####, and whatever other nonsense kids like to wear to scare the grown ups, and that doesn't belong in school. The grown ups would be idiots to allow it.

The grown ups would be snowflakes to care about superficial things like clothes.

Satan did not say that. You are at best misreading those passages.

 

[Subduction Zone]

Uh, no ..I guess you haven't read it?

I have read it. I assume that you have too, but you have not understood it. That is clear. There is only one mass murderer in the Bible and it is not Satan.

Maybe they don't need to pretend to have an oppressed religion if they can simply petition for relief from the government establishing religion.

I don't think that they are really pretending. If others can wear their attire and they can't wear there own that is oppression. And with the current Supreme Court ready to violate the Constitution already this would only be a small step further to the making of Christianity the national religion. The idea would be show that it is a big step wrong and they would hopefully balk at that.

Yes. You left out a significant chunk of that passage. That is quote mining. Some go so far as to call that "Lying by omission". It is not a wise debating tactic.

What a bad dude, such an evil thing to ask, how dare he ask for proof.

Do you want to elaborate what exactly did I miss that should prove me wrong?

 

[Aštra’el]

I get the feeling the Satanists you would like would be those who accept slavery and abuse with a smile.

No, I find it far more effective to blend in and exploit the culture around you to achieve your goals then to spend all that time on your knees begging to be accepted. It’s why I can’t take tst seriously. Them and their laughable satanic tenets lol.

When you demand this you only tell other of your own poor reading skills at best. But why not?

To make it easier for you let's use a more accurate and more modern translation:

'5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:

“‘He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’” '

So he did not just tell Jesus to jump off of a building. He was showing that Jesus was a fraud. A poseur. If he really was the 'Son of God' the angels would have prevented harm coming to him. Heck he could have just Jesus floated all the way down. It would be no different of a miracle than walking on water.

lol, you accuse me cherry picking the bible and prove me wrong by cherry picking the bible

Jesus answered him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord, your God, to the test.’”

Matthew 4:7

Thus if Jesus jumped off the temple he would prove that he is not Son of God because it would be a sin to do it but Son of God does not sin.

Matthew 4:7

No, you only took one very small part of a passage. I quoted more of it. Do you need even more? It will not change the story at all. And why would it be a sin for him to do that? You need a rational answer. I doubt if you can justify your answer.

And why couldn't Jesu have just Jesus floated all the way down to the ground? Remember when he supposedly walked on water?

 

[John53]

Thus if Jesus jumped off the temple he would prove that he is not Son of God because it would be a sin to do it but Son of God does not sin.

So God providing evidence that he is God is a sin?

 

[paradox]

No, you only took one very small part of a passage. I quoted more of it.

quoting more of text doesn't make you correct, you need to make your point with correct passages, which you have not done.

And why would it be a sin for him to do that?

testing God is sin, it is sin because God commands not to test him, braking commandment is a sin.
What is the definition of sin? | GotQuestions.org

And why couldn't Jesu have just Jesus floated all the way down to the ground?

You are asking for my opinion here, would my opinion prove me right?
Can you quote a portion which says what would happen if he jumped?

You need a rational answer. I doubt if you can justify your answer.

What exactly you do not understand? or what exactly do you mean by "rational"?
Is "Son of God does not sin" not rational for you?

 

[paradox]

So God providing evidence that he is God is a sin?

No, testing God is sin.
Jesus provided all sorts of evidence in other places, therefore giving evidence is not sin.

 

[John53]

quoting more of text doesn't make you correct, you need to make your point with correct passages, which you have not done.

The correct ones being the ones that agree with you? Sounds like quote mining to me.
