    Even my father has never said something that awesome to me. I’m pretty sure that’s because my old man’s a fucking bastard, but still, Thanks Satan. <3

    The way I see it, no fair and just deity would ever tell you to believe in them before yourself. Believing in them before yourself is the kinda language narcissistic predators use to ensnare people.

    So, is the ad trying to paint Jesus as a narcissist? Not intentionally, but damn do they do a horrific job of trying to relate to probably a massive chunk of people, moreso than those who are supposed to relate to it.

    I also refuse to believe their is a fair and just deity who would give you a single glance if you don’t believe in yourself first and foremost.

    That’s the problem with monotheism. At least with polytheism you’re allowed to acknowledge that the gods are assholes, you don’t have to pretend Zeus is the good guy and Prometheus is the bad guy.

    The more you think about it, the more you come to see that satan is actually the good guy, and God is the one doing all the evil. Think about it, satan rebelled to give adam and eve free choice. God said "Holy shit, you eat my apple. I am kicking you out of paradise and cursing all your decendants for eternity. And by the way, since I am omnipotent and all seeing, I knew you would do that when I made you and when I told you not to. " I mean it’s pretty clear who is evil in that story.

    I do not think this is a Christian ad.

    The Christian message is basically “be better through Christ.” The Satanist message is basically “none of this shit is real, so be better for yourself.” Christians say the Devil wants to tempt you to corrupt you.

    It’s more likely an ad for The Satanic Church or The Satanic Temple but with the logo changed.

      While I appreciate this instinct to assume the best, you should really check before you make a comment like this. This comes from a piece of shit Baptist preacher. He likes to preach about spiritual warfare. A lot of people deserve the benefit of the doubt, evangelicals are not among them.
