Are We Supposed to Love Satanists?

Question:

I know we are to love our neighbor, but how are we to approach Satanists?

Answer:

Yes, we are to love everyone.

In today’s world, many individuals who call themselves “Satanists” are really just atheists using the word for shock value. You should consider them the same way you would consider anyone who is an atheist.

On the other hand, there are some people who do believe in such evil things. But so what?

Ultimately, the bottom line is that the Gospel commands us to love everyone including our enemies. We are called to treat everyone justly and with respect for their human dignity. We can pray for their conversion and set a good example of Christian love.
