Religious peoples:  Are you suspicious of the hockey player, Miroslav Satan?

With all that goes on in the world I can't believe someone would pick on someone over their birthname.  He is Russian and the name is prounounced Sha-tann.  He can't help how it looks.  I really do believe at times some people have way too much time on their hands.

Well, I watched "Bend it like Beckham' and loved that movie. It made me realize what an icon he is in the soccer (football) watching countries. \nActually in England he is practically a God. I think it's mostly Brits who worship the living daylights out of him. But I'm not really sure. \nI am an ignorant American Ice Hockey Fan. \nGood Question!\nSarah

No, they're not satanic. As a mater of fact, Davey was raised in a catholic home and went to a private Catholic school until 8th grade.

It's possible that their new religions that are gaining popularity fast and some followers of older religions see them as a threat.  Also some people who claim to be practitioners go out of their way to make idiots out of themselves.\n\nTo all of the people who obviously don't learn about a religion before they make judgments about it, Satanists do NOT sacrifice babies, molest children, torture animals or any other thing you saw in a movie.  That would be considered Satanic dabbling, devil worship, or is an entirely different belief system.  Satanists do not believe in the Christian concept of Satan and they don't even see him as a literal entity, more like an ideal of human nature.  They don't suppress their nature and attempts to make life as pleasurable as it can be for them.  However, they don't believe in attempting to harm someone unless they feel that person strongly deserves it.  \n\nWhew, sorry about the rant.

I would think it's because we HAVE to believe in something, it's the way we were created, God wants us to believe in him, but Satan has power too and people find it easier, they think, not to believe in God.

I do beleive in a creator/God, but the Jesus part is questionable, don't matter if you're a Christian, Jew, or Muslim!!! People have to open their mind I realize certain things are out of place about his story. I believe it was put there to worship man instead of god, to have more control over people, to divide and conquer and the list goes on, it so many. Because the truth is NO ONE knows how God really looks or etc!!!

The devil is trying so hard to make sure that people reject God and his ultimate story / love letter to us.  Atheism, whether folks want to admit it or not, is a religion as well.  I love your binary code there!

I am glad there is someone else out there questioning the manmade mythological figure as well as the socially constructed theologies or religious politics, I was raised in a catholic environment and decided based on the hypocrisy and stupidity that there was no god at the age of five,but only told my dad,my mom and her mom dragged us to church almost everyday and on the weekends where we were forced to witness a bunch of ignorant hypocrites who drank,beat their wives and children,whose sons were in prison for raping and murdering,daughters who have illegitimate children or are molested by a family member it is the same typical congregation anywhere you go, everyone goes to the meat market looking for a date,ready to punish and condemn other people for their mistakes or flaws while pretending to have none themselves,and pay (donate money) to listen to some stranger talk about something he does not believe in or follow himself (it is rare to find a sincere minister and you can tell that because when people find out one exists only his mass becomes a standing room only event and people come from all over to hear him)\nthe Jehovah witnesses were the most intolerant as children we were scared of them and we would run inside ,turn off the tv and play quietly pretending not to be home,when they came walking down the street with their watch tower magazines trying to convert everyone and prepared to argue with you for hours with your own bible if you give them a chance to,they rejected and disowned their own children and family members for their cult and we felt sorry for their kids and wanted nothing to do with their selfish god who seemed worse than our catholic one ,only the exdrug addict /alcoholic - former convict born again christians could match the persistence and brainwashed mentality of the witnesses, it's like their new addiction was jesus and they had to praise every other damn word out of your mouth it is sickening(remember these were observations of a child)as children we saw through all the crap that adults hide behind ,so they dont have to deal with what they dont understand, and watched them practice predjudice,bigoted behavior,heard their ugly intolerant words as they punish others for the same sins they commit themselves in private,I wonder happened to some of my peers and how they ended up becoming part of this virus of society, \nwhat bothers me most is the comments and questions that demonstrate many supposed christians dont know what the hell they are talking about - they miss the whole point or dont understand and apply their own supposed values to themselves but hold the world to their personal standards ,they all insist jesus came from a virgin (god forbid that vagina ever had a penis in it or an orgasm)but dont seem to understand or care about the significance of the heretic christs story or parable, either the whole lesson went over their head or they are stupid hypocrites that dont understand a blind man can smell their bs\nas an adult I am still learning about other religions and I see alot of ugly things people do to cause suffering in the name of god and alot less good coming from religion which seems to serve evil more than anything else\nI have seen men die afraid,sad,and alone knowing that they are somehow treated as subhuman and regarded with hatred by their own parents for being gay and having aids. \nsecond only to protesting at funerals this is one of the most vile unforgivable christian acts ,I have witnessed\nand if I were wrong and there is actually a special hell for those that believe in hell ,then I would gladly go there and wait for all those parents who did that to the children they brought into this world and pull their souls in after there bodies died and give satan a break while I did his work for them on their souls\nand no I am not a gay man,just a human female that cares about humans despite their assigned social statuses and labels\nif you have read any of my previous answers yo

I think that god is a Yankees fan--only kidding. i think you make a great point and ask a question i asked a while ago. mine was why do fans pray in the stands during the game. I don't know if it's a sacrilege but it's certainly silly. we credit god with always being on our side, and that, my friend, is about as egotistical as you can get.

I think that it is the work of seducing spirits of Satan that seek to lead people into making a mockery of the Holy sanctuary as an attempt to defy the living God of Heaven. Undoubtedly those teens are unregenerate souls who have a particular weakness in this area and the evil one is exploiting it. They need prayer and conversion, not condemnation.

satanism someone has to root for the underdog

Yeah, kinda silly isn't it? You can tell this religion was founded by a very evil man, can't you? \n\nI'm with you all the way...

Nope.  Watching any sports is against my religion.  Heh.  But I have a few friends that did.  And yeah, we're in Chicago.  *laugh*

You know who they are. They're people like Billy Graham, Oral Roberts, Pat Robertson, etc.  They're actually Satanists. They only preach their BS to fool the masses of asses, aka - "Christians", who blaspheme God by claiming He loves them more than anything else.

I would have to say "Yes"\n\nAnd one question I pose to you is what belief do you have or what 'religion' do you take part in?\n\nI believe in God, Angels, the Devil, and Demons...\n\nOne thing to realize though is that God is the highest of all authorities, and the hierarchy of this would be\n\n1. God\n2. Angels / Satan (because he was actually a fallen angel that wanted to be a god himself and with him he took 1/3 of heaven's angels with him to 'Hell')\n3. then demons, which are in essence fallen angels under the rule of Satan himself.\n\nThe most important thing is to believe that God really does have control and He gives us as humans the free will and choice to decide what we will do.\n\nI hope this helps in some way.

I wouldn't believe them because satan would never tell you who he is.He would rather deceive you into believing he is someone who cares about you.God would be saddened if you didn't know enough to recognize the devil when you see him.Afterall he has given us a manual to refer to,and yet we doubt what he says.If calling evil just that is crazy,then crazy I am.I know evil when I see it and am not afraid to call it what it is......EVIL SATAN!!!!!
