🜏 Guilt Within Christianity 🜏
Before anything else, remember this: everything written here is based on my own experiences, personal beliefs, and studies. It is not absolute truth, nor is it meant to tell you what you must believe. One of the core values I have found within Satanism is learning to think for yourself. Question everything, research from multiple sources, and come to your own conclusions.
I want to share my perspective on why some Satanists view God as judgmental or untruthful. I cannot speak for every Satanist, only for myself and the conclusions I have reached through my own experiences and studies.
From my perspective, God judges humanity far more than many people realize. According to Christianity, He created humanity while also establishing standards that He expects us to follow. Yet we are born with emotions, desires, and imperfections that are often condemned as sinful. To me, this creates a contradiction. We are given a human nature and then expected to constantly fight against it.
I agree that we should avoid causing unnecessary harm to others and strive to become better people. However, I do not believe every aspect of human nature should be rejected. Emotions such as anger, sadness, jealousy, or fear are natural. What matters is how we choose to act upon those emotions, not simply the fact that we experience them.
My personal belief is that Christianity often teaches people to suppress parts of themselves rather than understand them. This can leave many believers carrying deep guilt, shame, and fear over feelings that are simply part of being human. If God created us with these qualities, I struggle to understand why we are condemned for possessing them.
For many years, I devoted myself to following God as faithfully as I could. Despite my efforts, I often felt consumed by guilt, shame, fear, and hardship. I watched people who, in my eyes, lived far more selfishly than I did seem to receive the blessings I desperately prayed for, while I felt abandoned and left in darkness.
It was during that darkness that I believe Lord Satan became a guiding light in my life. He challenged me to question, to seek truth, and to open my own eyes rather than accept everything I had been taught without examination. I felt understood rather than condemned. Instead of feeling ashamed for simply being human, I learned to accept my nature while still taking responsibility for my actions.
To me, true wrongdoing is found in the harm we choose to inflict upon others, not in the existence of our emotions or our humanity. My experiences led me to believe that Lord Satan encouraged growth through knowledge, self-awareness, and personal responsibility rather than through fear and guilt.
These are my personal beliefs and experiences. I do not expect everyone to agree with them, and I encourage everyone to study, question, and decide for themselves what they believe to be true.-Evelyn Sterling
