An atheist chaplain

Are you sure you are not autistic?

Do you know what the two respective disciplines of anthropology and comparative religion constitute?

I recommend that you read some anthropology.

The concept that there are two supernatural entities one of the dark and one of the light is dualism.

I'm quite familiar with the concept. Perhaps you might benefit re-reading mossy's post and this time seek to understand what she actually wrote rather than posting a knee jerk reaction revealing yet again that comprehension issue you have.

Is that an admission you are autistic? Because you seem to have a very hard time grasping really simple social concepts and interactions.

What does that have to do with you not understanding what mossrose said? All this shows is your lack of understanding of a simple English conversation and thinking pretending to know something scientific is an appropriate response. Which seems like something an autistic person would do. Like someone mentioning what how great a homerun hit was at a baseball game and instead of saying, "wow. yeah!" you started spouting batting averages and the odds of getting a homerun hit.

This is what mossrose wrote

"Whatever gods they worship, including themselves, are false. All man created religions are false. There are only 2 religions, the worship of the works of Satan or the worship of the Jesus of the Bible."

All religions, including your own, are "man created". That is a self-evident fact.

To suggest there are "only 2 religions the worship of the works of Satan or the worship of the Jesus of the Bible" hints at cosmic dualism. I would also add that such an entrenched viewpoint is somewhat disdainful towards other belief systems and their adherents. We know from history where such opinions have led.

She was speaking in a colloquial sense, not as an anthropologist. Basically Christians believe that there is only ONE true religion, Christianity. All others are basically the "same" religion: False religion. If you are not worshiping the true God of the universe, then you are in the other camp, that of Satan's. We believe Satan is behind all of the other religions. We don't think he is a god, or God's equal in any way. He is a fallen angel. Yet he is influential in corrupting men or at the very least encouraging corruption, including false religions.

So when mossy was saying "there are only two religions" that is what she was talking about. That was pretty clear by her context to most people reading it, but your response was to not grasp what she was saying and instead reply with some nonsense about anthropology.

So, no, saying "worshiping the works of Satan" was not a declaration of dualism, or claiming that Satan is a god. It was just a way of saying "If you are not on God's side, then you are against him, and on the side of Satan"
But Satan is in no way an equal to God or any sort of deity. He is merely a fallen creature with a humongous chip on his shoulder.

Read some anthropology.

She did not write that. She made an emphatic statement, "There are only 2 religions, the worship of the works of Satan or the worship of the Jesus of the Bible." I'd also remind you all that "the Jesus of the Bible" was a practising Jew.

All others are basically the "same" religion: False religion.

As would yours be to a practising Jew or Muslim. Wherein lies the difference?

Once again, you hold that your religion is the only "true" religion and that view would be held by some members of other faiths towards Christianity.

But Satan is in no way an equal to God or any sort of deity. He is merely a fallen creature with a humongous chip on his shoulder.

That is a much later Christian construct. Read the Book of Job.

This all seem to be just your opinion.

As I said previously, she proves her ignorance of Christianity with every post she makes.
