Skitzocow Tom Raspotnik - Theistic Satanist who sacrifices animals

[Bernard]

Spoiler

Rev. Tom Erik Raspotnik aka Tom Blackwood & GM Blackwood is the self-proclaimed "founder" of theistic Satanism. So, he runs the theistic Satanist organization known as the Temples of Satan, not to be confused with the more popular Satanic Temple. He claims that his organization has around 200 members, but this is doubtful. Theistic Satanism is a "religion" that involves literally worshiping Satan as a god. This is contrasted with the more popular form of Satanism that is LaVeyan Satanism. Basically, LaVeyan Satanism is an atheistic hedonist philosophy. It's not unusual for the Theistic Satanists and the LaVeyan Satanists to hate each other.

Now, there are tons of edgy Satanic speds on the internet. So, what makes him so different? He literally sacrifices animals for his lord and savior, Satan. And... he is also a pro-life Tea Party protester. Don't believe me? Credible media organizations such as USA Today has reported on his animal cruelty and Tea Party activism: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...g-satanic-groups-tea-party-politics/15654843/ (Archive)

Also, this guy has been a drama queen on every Satanic forum that he has ever registered to. Here is Zach Black's account of when he joined his Satanic International Network (SIN) forum, "I first met Tom Raspotnik in 2009. He joined Satanic International Network and immediately started post his typical nonsense about being some grand popular Satanist and founder of theistic Satanism. He was laughed off the network within hours. But, he reappeared hours later under GM Blackwood. And claimed the first Tom was a troll. He was laughed off again. So, for round three Tom and maybe one or two other people started creating all sorts of accounts trying to make it look like Tom had some sort of following. Which he doesn't. This is typical of Tom. He tries to convince people he is someone important, even if Tom himself has to create dozens of accounts. I had no idea who this clown was. But several others did. And told me that as soon as Tom discovers something in the Satanic realm he will try to conquer it. And if he fails he will try to destroy it."

Zach has even made two video about his antics (second video is more interesting):

Here is a video by a man who claims that he was harassed by Tom, so he flew out to meet him and only met his wife and father:

It's been a while since I read the Bible, but I'm pretty sure Satan loses at the end.

 

[Abethedemon]

I've always thought of Theistic Satanists as simply being reverse christians. Excuse my fedora, but they're still worshipping someone and condemning someone else. It's also ironic because Theistic Satanists are anti-Christian and Christians are anti Theistic Satanists, even though they believe in the same mythos.
This guy looks promising. Love my religious nutball cows.

 

[ShittyRecolor]

If I ever find myself alone in a dark alley with this animal abusing asshole and a crowbar in my hand I swear I'll convert back to Christianity.

Spoiler tags, man! You fuckin ruined it for me!

Does he have an instagram? I remember a guy who looked very similar to this guy sent my ex a bunch of messages on instagram, and most of his pictures were just stereotypical Satanic imagery like St. Peter crosses, pentagrams, brimstone symbols, etc.

He seems like the type of person who read Paradise Lost and didn't realize that it wasn't considered canonical for the Bible.

 

[KatsuKitty]

Theistic Satanism? That's rare.

Several mentions of "Satan" in the old testament actually refer to Ba'al, a completely different god and a rival of Yahweh. So which is it, Tom? Ba'al or Satan?

 

[Johnny Bravo]

We practice our faith to our Monotheistic God duly named Satan and understand that Satan has been thousands of names and corruptions throughout history which spans almost 5000 years.

1. Satan is not a god, he's an angel. Demi-god at best.
2. "Monotheistic God duly named Satan"? Do I even need to point out all the ways this fails to make sense?

To many on who are unable to achieve the success the Temples of Satan has, its an easy motive to attack our founder in hopes of creating discourse and thus allowing rivals to recruit members from the temple they attack. Dr. Tom Erik Raspotnik remains today despite many critics the elected Leader of Theistic Satanism and probably the most well known and enlightened magician alive today besides his wife Cindy Raspotnik..

Ha ha, what? Did your wife make you add that last bit? You fucking pussy.

You off line have members still?

The Temples of Satan origin charter provided lifetime memberships, and people have been involved both on and off line since 2000 we do not expect our membership to speak for The Temples of Satan so our membership is mainly off line and often attend our gatherings and meetings.

We expect off line involvement however understand with poor economic conditions members may not be able to attend all sponsored events, or celebrations.

Atrocious sentence structure aside, it sounds like he's employing the same tactic as the Catholic church to inflate his numbers. That is to say he keeps people on his roster even if they're no longer active because of his "lifetime membership" policy. I mean, assuming he has a list that doesn't exist solely in his imagination.

Forget furry lolcows, you know your life is pathetic when you're a laughingstock among satanists.

 

[TremendousBoredom]

...
Satan wept.

Coming from a religious tradition where animal sacrifice is practiced, this..... All my no.

And with an ego to make a thelemite look humble too.

I vaguely remember reading about this guy online a few years ago when the Tea Party was huge. I didn't know that he was this crazy, though. On a semi-related note, internet slapfights between LaVeyan Satanists and theistic ones are fucking hysterical to watch.

It's because they're both retards in their own way.

LaVeyan Satanists don't even believe in a personal Satan, or even that Satan actually exists. They're basically just fedora tippers with stupid-ass costumes who call themselves Satanists just to be edgelords. There's no reason at all for "Satan" to have anything to do with it other than it makes people mad.

Then you have people who actually worship, or at least claim to worship, an actual Satan. Now these people are just fucking dumb. If the Satan they worship exists, he'll fuck you over for worshipping him just as much as for not. They're also edgelords, because I don't think most of them even really worship Satan either, but at least the LaVeyan "Satanists" know worshipping Satan is just fucking dumb and they try to distance themselves from it.

It's basically two midgets arguing about who's taller.

A little Judean People's Front versus People's Front of Judea, no?

Of course that's what God would say!

 

[Meowthkip]

He doesn't even front a black metal band, what a sucky Satanist.
