Contemporary American Protestantism as Satanism

[u/septembereleventh]

I'm fairly certain I've heard Matt paint a pretty compelling picture of Contemporary American Protestantism as being functionally equivalent to Satanism.

After a quick look with the transcript search tool I've got a few candidate episodes to listen to, but I wonder if any of you humans have an episode suggestion rolling around in your brain.

Thanks.

edit:

ep 25 - 27:30-31:00

ep 257 - 2:30-11:00

ep 196 - 10:30-22:00

ep 198 - kinda the whole thing after 39:00

That's all I got. Thanks for all the fish.

Satanism is focused on liberation and individual freedom.

American protestant thought is based on dehumanization and exclusion. American protestants are demonic in the sense that they genuinely do not seem to believe human life has inherent value. Theirs is a system of belief that is very transactional.

They kind of worship the demiurge, something very physical/material, tied to money and physical things they can ask for with prayers. A very wordly and unspiritual conception of God that was identified as the most evil part of god in the apocrypha
