嗯,貼些撒旦教的東西吧,以前研究過又忘了,因為宗教的教條不過都大同小異。 ㄟ,不過都是英文的,有興趣的人就看看吧。 Meanings that have been assigned to "Satanism." http://www.religioustolerance.org/satanis2.htm Various meanings of "Satanism:" When people think of Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and many other religions, they have at least a general idea of what the religion involves. "Satanism" is an exception. In North America, many people use it as a general-purpose religious "snarl" word. Others consider a wide variety of beliefs and practices as "Satanism:" ⊕Religious Satanism: Most religious historians, mainline Christians, liberal Christians, etc., view Satanism as Satanists themselves view their religion:a very small religious group that is unrelated to any other faith, and whose members feel free to satisfy their urges responsibly, exhibit kindness to their friends, and attack their enemies. There are perhaps ten thousand Satanists in North America. By far the largest Satanic organization is the Church of Satan. Accurate membership numbers are quite impossible to estimate. (宗教方面的定義) ⊕Non-conservative Christians: Conservative Christians generally believe that there are only two powerful supernatural forces in the world: their God and Satan. A few of them believe If a person does not worship their God and hold their beliefs, then they must be worshiping Satan -- the latter are, by definition, Satanists. Thus, they view all religions different from their own to be are forms of Satanism. Satanists would then make up in excess of 90% of the world's population -- i.e. everyone who is not a conservative Christian. Using this definition, the term "Satanism" becomes almost meaningless. (非保守派的基督教徒就是,但這個定義太廣泛,無意義) ⊕Non-Christians: Some feel that all non-Christian religions are forms of Satanism. This would imply that all Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims - in fact about 67% of the world's population are Satanists. (非基督教徒就是) ⊕Non-Abramics: Others feel that all religions other than the three Abramic religions Judaism, Christianity and Islam, are inspired by Satan and are thus a form of Satanism. By this reasoning, about 45% of the people of the world are Satanists. (非那三大教就是) ⊕Small religions: Still others feel that the major world religions are not Satanism. However, they view a wide variety of unrelated religions (such as Santeria , Vodun, other Caribbean religions, New Age, Druidism, Wicca, and other Neopagan religions) as forms of Satanism. They often include some non-religious groups and activities -- as varied as the Masonic order, the Occult, astrology, and tarot card reading -- within their definition of Satanism. There would be perhaps a million Satanists in North America by this definition. (雜七雜八的都可以歸類為撒旦派) Describing Buddhists, Druids, Hindus, Jews, New Agers, Santerians, Taoists, Masons, Wiccans and other Neopagans, followers of Vodun, etc. as Satanists creates massive confusion in the minds of the public. None of these religions and spiritual paths teach an all-evil quasi-deity, similar to the Christian and Islamic Satan. A suggested definition: Such definitions create great confusion, and stir up religious animosity against followers of benign faith traditions. It has been known to trigger lynching, attempted mass murder, fire bombings, shootings, common assaults, etc. We strongly recommend that the terms "Satanist" and "Satanism" be used only to refer to religions that have some direct involvement with Satan in some form. Thus a "Satanist" is one who either: ㊣ Worships the Christian devil. Although the Christian Churches taught during the Renaissance that devil worshipers were very common, such individuals were in fact extremely rare, and remain so. The very few who do exist appear to be solitary practitioners; they do not appear to have formed an organization. (在文藝復興時,崇拜惡魔的人非常多且普遍,但這樣的個體實際上不多 且一直都是以個體的方式存在,並不會組成教派或組織。) ㊣ Accepts Satan as a pre-Christian life-principle concept worth emulating. These are religious Satanists, who follow a number of religious traditions, of which the largest by far is the Church of Satan. (認為撒旦是基督前的生活教條。這指宗教上的信仰撒旦者就是撒旦派, 相對於基督教信仰耶穌。) -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.csie.ntu.edu.tw) ◆ From: 61.64.240.230
