Posts on this board claim the existence of satanism.
Just like Mammon, Satan is not worshipped these days.
Satanic rites are used indeed but not to worship satan.
What happens: trade is increasingly successful as it is coupled with exclusion. Enrichment is based on exclusion.
Christianity, on the other hand, is all inclusive and as such no a proper context for trade and enrichment.
So called satanists are in fact (cultural) Christians who use Christianity as a way to cement trade communities as a tight knitted community.
Trade successes are better when relying on a tight knitted community. Insider deals are usually better than outsider deals. Control over information, control over circulation of wealth are better achieved by tight knitted.
In liberal societies, the group is all, individuality does not exist. Just as gangs claim their members, trade communities claim their members.
The goal is to ensure that betrayal of the group means betrayal of oneself. This is achieved by shackling people by getting them through a point of no return.
Gangs may demand from newcomers to kill, a point of no return. The US institution of justice is aware of the situation as they provide immunity to people who spill the beans.
In a christian context, getting people to perform satanic rites is one way to ensure people will not betray.
All those liberals do not worship satan, they do not care about satan. What they want is unwavering allegiance, the group must prevail. People who perform satanic rites are dead socially in a christian society.
It is a point of no return. Groups bound by satanic rites are trade compatible, no trade deals will ever come out, meaning that harmful yet profitable deals may be striken, giving an edge over trade groups that are less bound.
