Satanism is to christianity what cannibalism is to veganism,
Like my point about Hinduism, that both forms are common within the same religion.
there's no heritage whatsoever and using christian terminology or christian (anti)symbols for your religion doesn't make a christian religion any more than using the french language to describe things makes them french.
That is a silly concept, being French is a concrete position of belonging to a specific ethnic group with a specific ideas, being Christian is about ideas….
Satan is a spirit and his manifestations are are described by hundreds of different cultures and yet the only thing Satanism is based upon is the Lord of the flies himself.
Nice, does that apply to the other Gods and or Angels and if that is the case, why bother being a Christian?

Yes it does. You could live a christian life without ever having heard of Jesus, Christianity or having read the bible. The term is not the thing itself. You don't have to call yourself a christian to be a christian. At the same time calling yourself a christian does not make you one.
Christianity is a complete package and carving out the intricacies of the religion on your own just to avoid the term christianity would be a waste of time. You place too much emphasis on labels.

Then you won't mind me worshipping Christ, by calling him Yngve-Freyr!
Yeah, right, we should abandon all labels and just mix everything up, strange how you people go from extreme dogmatism to newagism in a blink of an eye.
Try sitting in the middle.
