A moral Panic that was instigated heavily by Christian/Catholic Televangelists that Persecuted and falsely accused Satanists of crimes they didn't commit and
fear mongered against
Satanism and Satanists, especially Theistic Satanists!
Even though The Satanic Panic occurred in the 80s and 90s, some argue that this event and its effects never truelly ended as yet in
history.
Even to this very
day, Satanists and
Satanism, are persecuted, misrepresented in public media such as TV and movies. Especially Theistic Satanism!
Real Satanists, regardless of weither they are Theistic or Athiestic, are not violent or harmful in anyway! Satanists DO NOT do sacrifices or harm humans or animals!
But no, Satanism is a nonviolent belief system with a very dark looking asthetic and beliefs that are very differing to
Christianity and Catholicism!
But ask yourselves a question: who benefits from other people fearing and or Hating Satanists and Satanism?
Definitely not Satanists! Over the years, many Satanists have been persecuted and many temples or churchs related to Lucifarianism and or Satanism have been the casualties of violent protests (think People throwing chairs and Christian/ Catholic Statues through the
window) and Arsons.
Satanists are often verbally abused, harassed, and threatened by Christian and Catholic Extremists if they make their beliefs known!
Rather, Christians and Catholics, Particularly the more Extremist benefit from this hatred and misplaced
fear of Satanists.
Person 1: "why are so many Satanists that have seen on TV portrayed as violent? I met a
Satanist once, and that person was a peiceful person and they did non of the stuff that's portrayed on
television."
Person 2: "Thats mainely due to something that happened in the 80s and 90s called The Satanic Panic. This was when Satanists where falsely accused of crimes they didn't commit. Satanists are still persecuted
even to this
day because of this widespread moral panic,"
Person 1: "Oh. What started The Satanic Panic?"
Person 2: Christian and Catholic televangelists and extremists spreading widespread fear mongering and panic about Satanists, in an attempt to grow their own numbers."
Person 1:"That Sucks!"
