Why is baphomet considered satan/satanic? He has nothing to do

>>17933615
Because ChristInsanity appropriated paganism.

>He has nothing to do with Judaic religions.

Except for the fact that 'Baphomet' is a medieval French bastardization of the name Mohammad. Nothing to do with any of the Abrahamic faiths other than that though.

>He is a pagan god.

Yes, medieval Christians incorrectly believed that Muslims worship Mohammad as a god.

>>17934756
There's no evidence that this is true. It's just one interpretation of Baphomets origin with many other.

>>17933615
>He is a pagan god

From what pagan pantheon?

>>17933615
>He is a pagan god
Close but no dice. It's well known that the abrahamic religions stole from pagan tradition and demonized the traits and practices that were left, and although baphomet is easy to equate with the horned god, it's not exactly the same. Even reading the wiki article will give you insight past that.

As for the misconception with satanism, you can blame the satanic panic and popular culture's view on the occult in general.

>>17933615
Levi's Baphomet isn't a God. Just a representation of equilibrium. And it's considered satanic because American Baptists think that of everything they're unfamiliar with.

Maybe. More likely Baptist or Abu Fiama(t), given the context.

>>17934838
The earliest mention of Baphomet (actually was in a letter written by a crusader, named Anselm of Ribemont, describing Saracens (who were most certainly Muslim) chanting the name, before battle.

>>17934957
I get that, but frankly it confuses the matter further. Did he just mishear it? Why would Muslims be chanting it instead of anything else, and why is there nothing pertaining to it later?

try again, mystery schools of old have been around since we started letting angels teach us baloney sandwich

Actual Satanist here.
>>17934763
This.

The idea that the templars were worshiping Mohammed is silly and is in fact inspired by cultural artifacts, such as plays which attributed multiple deistic worship towards the Islamic faith. Islamic religious tendencies often dismissed idolatry around the time of the Templars downfall. This "interpretation" is little more than a reiteration of previous misconceptions of Islamic beliefs and, as the anon said, there is no evidence this is true outside of certain literary similarities.

There is no "misconception (of Baphomet) with Satanism" nor is Baphomet involved "because of Baptists". It is both an adopted and fundamental concept within Satanism, firmly entrenched through LHP esoterica.
>popular culture's view on the occult
The transformation of Baphomet into Satanism was more meticulous than that, inspired by historic struggles rather than simple populism.

Baphomet is a symbol of holistic perfection, a totalizing image reflecting Satanic ideology and praxis. Historically, systemic adoption of the symbol fundamentally occurred by a multiplicity of reasons, some of them because of literary differences between occult writers, while other reasons are because of the exoteric association of Baphomet with principles fundamental to Satanic sects. These principles are visible in almost every Satanic tradition, concepts such as aeonic/psychosocial transformation and all-encompassing liberation. Some groups worship Baphomet, others simply incorporate Its symbol for personal reasons.
>most likely Baptist
Not really, the word's origins hold more close to Abu fihama(t) if anything but even that is speculation. Baphomet was originally associated with a variety of symbols, most usually within a skull or head of sorts, surrounded by certain astrological paraphernalia.

The important thing to remember about Baphomet is that It is an enigma which has come to reflect perfection through both form and formlessness.

Not perfection, just equilibrium. Some might consider that perfect.
>a totalizing image reflecting Satanic ideology and praxis
Which came first, though?

I much prefer that notion, but it really could go either way. The idea of the Templars becoming a Johannite sect with the skull of John the Baptist isn't as farfetched as some theories.

Look into indo-european religion and you will find the answer.

He is not by origin a pagan demon. He is known in most cultures around earth, first writings are debatable, today you would probably call them judaic or persian

>>17935047

never start a post like that

>>17935047
The problem with gnostics and satanists etc is they are to proud to admit they are not God and did not create the simulation we live in. Oldest lie ever told, you'll be a God knowing Good and Evil. 101 Satan shennagins and Nephilim trickery

>>17935069
Catholicism 101 romans mixed pagan themes with Christianity and ruined it completely. The first beast of the book of revelation

Eh, can't agree with you there. Frankly a bit more might have been nice, but it'd get to the point of issue with the command structure.

>>17935076

wtf nigga no gnostic believes he created the universe, nor does any satanist.

you should read up

>>17935095
your right, they pray to saints and mary and have a pope as a father. I have christ as my cornerstone and foundation ;)

>>17935105
shut the fuck up retard, demiurge created the universe and sucks the life out of us via Saturn

>>17933615
consider it religious propaganda

>>17935112

you realize how fucking many gnostic sects, ranging from zoroastrian to fucking satanic to fucking christian, there are?

go read some books instead of insulting cooler people than you on 4chan

>>17934975
They are fond of saying "There is only one God, and Mohammad is his prophet." If he didn't speak their language very well, or at all, it would be an easy mistake to make.

>>17935108
I don't mean that, i mean that they should have adopted some more stories from the barbarian cultures.

>>17935142
That's my thought. It's all difficult to extrapolate accurately from.

>>17935047
>The idea that the templars were worshiping Mohammed is silly

Yes, it is. But a lot of shit they did back then was silly. And brutal. Many of the Templars were tortured into confession. It didn't need to be true in order to damn them.
