Every now and then I think we can meet a common ground, then you say stuff like this.
You implied I am closed minded. You do understand that if you set the tone of the conversation like that, I am going to reply in kind right.
I'm not a satanist because I'm not into hedonism and I don't worship Satan.
Didn't say you were. I gave my opinion about the occult. It's there to give satanism good pr and not make it look like the psycho shit it is.
but most worship Moloch.
They all worship all of them.

Sorry if I implied you're close minded. I'm trying not to sound dismissive.i was simply saying that I find it hard to find things we both agree on.
The occult definitely caters to the left hand path (satanism). But there are many paths. Most kabbalists worship one god, YHWH. Taoists don't worship anything, but seek advice from the great Tao. Hermeticist really just do whatever they want. A belief in God is not required.
Satan was also just a random angel who was put in charge of enticing Job to stray from God. He wasn't evil, he was doing the will of God (angels don't have free will). Lucifer is another entity entirely.
I do agree there is a sort of evil in this world, but I feel it is more a lack of love than a force itself.

True. You are still looking to find who you are and where you stand. I'm a bit further along in that process. That's why we bump heads a lot. At least we still speak on occasion. When that stops, it's proof we are both close minded.
They worship the devil.
They were the same. An angel who thought he was on the same level as God and thought he could do whatever he wanted. Sound familiar? God then kicked him out of Heaven and he's been salty about it ever since.
I don't even believe in satan. People who are evil and don't want to take responsibly for that it comes out of themselves, use the devil as a scapegoat.
