dc.description.abstractPeople have tried to dismiss Satanism, saying that Satan is only a construction of the Christian church; so, Satanism is only an invention of Christianity. That is missing the broader point. Christians didn't invent Satanism. There is always a Satan, an adversary in every culture. There is always a figure who reprints dark side, the unexplored realms, the prideful beast who defies the norms. Satan has perrneated every strata of society insidiously. He has infiltrated sacred and educational institutions, political movements, social and intellectual gatherings and NGO'S. Those who are involved with Satan are known as "Devil Worshippers". They come from all status; the rich and the poor alike. The devil is the fallen angel and his kingdom; his attraction is temporary and passing. Devil from the Greek word (diabolos) means divider, and Satan from the Hebrew. The bible mentions sixty five times the wiles of deceits of Satan, the devil, the evil one, and prince of this world. The attractions to devil worship are riches, power and prestige. As great as the devil powers are however, they are under the dominion of Christ who has imparted to his Church the power to forgive sins and to drive out demons. The Religion prescribes certain Rites, and these rites are always bloody. The popular Hollywood portrayal of the Satanist is that of the blood drinking and baby killing Monster, reciting the black mass and having lots of orgies. Serving a deity that can manifest itself in all sorts of powerful and scary foams. Practicing magic, casting spells and having the power of the supernatural available at their finger tips. The Satanists claim that Christians waste their lives in prayer and submission. God on the other hand, generally represents conventionality predictability, the safety of normality, and the comfort of the larger group and the rewards of staying within the bonds of propriety. In Kenya, Satanism and devil worship is not without mentioned. The Kenyan government's setting up a committee which was later elevated to a commission of inquiry to look into satanic practices proves that the constant claims and allegations of cultism and devilish rituals were serious enough to warrant serious investigations from as early as 1994.en_US
