    Can you even be both pagan and Satanic?

    “He’s a mumbling pagan, Satanic, Jewish, Mexican, Socialist, Antifa, Chinese…” Beyond all the social abuses, I hate MAGA and right-wing pundits because they’ve robbed words of meaning, on a scale that forces adjustment unlike anything else.

      Having grown up strictly Catholic I can tell you it’s because they view the world extremely binary black and white. Either you’re a Christian, or you’re “led astray by Satan’s lies”, so literally everything else is Satanism.

      To a Catholic even a Protestant could be considered a Satanist.

        To be fair a lot of protestants don’t believe Roman Catholics are Christian either because if the overt idolatry and the whole fact that the state that supposedly killed Jesus also formed the Roman Catholic Church.

      Only in the eyes of people incapable of rational thought.

      They are fundamentally completely different religions, and paganism is much much older.

        Paganism is not a religion. It’s literally “not an Abrahamic faith ” in most uses. There’s no one form of Paganism.

        I am a Christian… a Christian agnostic, but still.

      He can be if you don’t know what a dictionary is and you get revenue by being divisive. The more charged the language, the higher the revenue gets.
