Satanism.

You will notice that I talk about Satanism rather than Satan.

This is because I don't believe that there is a literal being called Satan.  

This does not mean, however, that others share my disbelief.

Many people in our world believe that Satan is a real being and that he plots our downfall.

I believe, however, that these people act as if the devil is real and sabotage and tempt us in the hope of a reward.

And so the evil they do still affects us.

It drags us down.

And it causes great suffering.

But the devil himself does not exist. 

So be aware of this negative influence.

And avoid it whenever possible.
