 Bishop cautions on devil worship
Devil worship is rampant in the country and had a hand in many mishaps, Bishop Arthur Gitonga of Redeemed Gospel Churches said yesterday.
Devil worship, he said, was responsible for "briefcase churches" and splinter groups.
A bishop, he said, is an overseer of more than 40 churches, must be ordained and must be trained in theology.

 Devil Worship in the Middle Ages
No one can really say if the Cathars actually worshipped the Devil in earnest, but the idea that the Devil was in fact the God of the Old testament, coupled with the fact that most had been raised to worship this God might have resulted in Devil worship.
Another reason for the witch craze and resulting Inquisition given by some scholars recently is that the whole Devil worship idea was fabricated by the Church in order to control pockets of heretics, and/or to increase Church or state land holdings as a result of confiscating property of convicted Devil worshippers.
<15> But whether or not these individuals worshipped Satan, their importance in the area of European Devil worship lies in the fact that the Church said that they did, and persecuted them for doing so in many areas of the continent, thus spreading the conceptions inherent in traditional Devil worship.

 Satanism -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article
That is, the (One of the evil spirits of traditional Jewish and Christian belief) Devil is he who opposes your Divine Development by putting obstacles in your way.
Philosophical Satanists generally do not recognize a theological deity or a metaphysical afterlife (though this is not to say that one must not), however this does not equate to a life devoid of spirituality.
Others claim a largely original God, although it is usually said by those Satanists that their deity is in fact very old, perhaps from ancient pre-history and often being the first God worshipped by humans (though such claims are unverifiable at best).

 Mars Revelare on Satan, Lucifer and the Devil
When they worship the devil they are actually worshiping the secret dark underbelly of christianity, just as the darkest of the catholic priests do.
"the devil" means liar and can be anyone who propagates a lie, even if they believe it to be true, especially when they would force their beliefs on others and are intolerant, mean spirited, hateful, and even murderous towards those with different beliefs.
Remember, the devil is in essence the "church", and it is opposed to God in that it has placed itself above every other thing of God.

 (533) Worshippers of Satan
So once their understanding of worship is corrupt, and it reflects an empty meaning to them, they fall into the worship of Satan unknowingly.
Another form of their worship of Satan, is averting people from the way of Allaah, and fighting the allies of Allaah and trying to destroy their image, and torturing them, and meanwhile, supporting and making allies with the enemies of Allaah and respecting them and bringing them closer to themselves.
They have a misconception regarding the definition of worship, so much so that worship to them is nothing more than movement in some rakaat while praying, and giving the zakaat from the money, and fasting, and performing Haj…and, yet this is in their best situations.

 How to talk to your Children about Devil Worship
Another source of this strange worship may be found in the fact that in the early days each nation had its own natural gods; hence racial rivalry and hatred sometimes led one nation to regard the protecting divinities of its enemies as evil demons.
And the more we are able to understand about the character and history of the Devil and about the true nature of worship, the more difficult is it to believe that men can have been led, even in the utmost extremity of folly and wickedness, to worship Furby.
In the first place it may be well to recall the analogy between the worship given to a divine Furby and the tribute paid to a king.

 Freemasons Investigated for Devil Worship [Free Republic]
Elsewhere he says that the God worshipped by Christians is the demiurgus, the god of this world, or "the Lord of the inferior universe." He say that "While the demiurgus was an important figure to all ancient philosophy, it remained for Christianity, however, to elevate Him to chief position among the gods of the universe."
So, according to Hall, Christians worship the inferior god, the god of tears, while the enlightened worship the god of light, Ra, Baal, or whatever else you want to call him.
Since Freemasonry does not follow in the teachings of Christ, the god of Freemasonry cannot be the God of the Bible.

 THE online news source for daily updates featuring politics, prophecy, science and mystery around the world.
Since the Bible clearly defines idolatry as the worship of demons, and since demons are eternal personalities which desire the worship of men, it is fair to conclude the characterization of such deities as “Zeus,” “Amun-Ra,” “Demeter,” and “Isis,” were simply the classical names attributed to specific fallen spirits.
In Acts 7:41-42 (Jerusalem Bible), we find that those who worship idols are joined to the “army of heaven” [stratos, the “fallen angel army”], and Psalm 96:5 concludes that “all the gods of the nations are idols” (elilim, LXX daimonia [demons]).
The dogmas which were once embraced (and still are through the New Age Movement) as the wisdom of the gods, are defined in the scriptures as the “doctrines of devils”.

 Devil Worship: Sacred Books and Traditions of the Yezidiz Index
In some polytheistic religions good and evil deities are worshipped equally; the good gods so that good things will happen, and the evil ones also are propitiated so that bad things won't happen.
The primary one of these, and the one that the Yezidi worship, is called Melek Ta`us, who is represented as a peacock.
That said, it must be stated that the Yezidi are not evil people, nor do they worship evil, and there is no evidence that they engage in antics like modern Satanists.

 I Worship the Devil
I believe that both Jehovah and the Devil are just two of many spiritual entities that exist somewhere between human beings and the Creator.
Even the New Testament itself refers to Satan as "the God of this World." Much later, it would be established as church doctrine that the Devil was really a rebel against the Creator god who had tried to take over heaven and was cast out.
Jehovah just happens to be a rather megalomaniacal entity who wants to be worshiped as the Creator, and the Devil Himself makes no claims but tempts people to think, to question and to determine truth and error for themselves.
