Gareth's Guests: Tristan Kapp - 'The Friendly Satanist'
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 лют 2024
- Tristan Kapp - aka ‘The Friendly Satanist’ - is here to debunk all the myths behind the ‘Satanic’ label, and culture behind Satanism. Gareth Cliff, taking an atheist stance in this subject, takes Tristan on in a battle of history surrounding religion. From the early noted biblical times, to Gareth’s favourite era of the Roman Empire, Tristan slates the perverted ideas of animal sacrifice, demon possession, and a so-called ‘devil’ - and breaks down the real Satanic views on life.
I've never seen Gareth interrupt a guest so much as this - very annoying
Most of the time
O please, the guy had nothing to say except, Christianity goes against my LGBTQ+ friends so now I created a catchy presence to preach against Christians. 🙄🙄
this is him in most interviews especially controversial guests. he's damn annoying. But I'll still watch lol!
Nah Gareth handled it quite well.
Ja, I also wanted to make that observation. Really good questions, but we're robbed of answers by the interruptions. Sad.
Gareth, why you always interrupt? Either way, I know Tristan for a long time and his people around him the past years - and the politics involved. Tristian and Cliff are, very similar in many regards. And both are very territorial on their broadcasting medium. This show was about Gareth, not Tristan. Maybe Tristan should invite G and we turn the table around. As said, they are very similar.
Interrupting 😡
First interview I've ever seen were Gareth does not let the interviewee complete their answers. Piers Morgan style :(

I don't normally enjoy these pre-recorded shows after a nice shower in the morning, but this episode was fire. Gareth had his Debora Patta mode switched on.
Came straight here from Tristans' comment section❤
Gross go back
Let the guy talk @G ffs!
It's great that you asks these questions, Gareth.
This was a great discussion loved every minute of it.
If someone, anyone isn't free, then none of us are. Fight for minority rights, Tristan; you don't need a mandate! I only see a lot of privilege from a fellow atheist - the lived experience of most does not reflect his own
I think you got stuck talking about Satanism as a response to Christianity, it is a pity Gareth doesn't allow Tristan to get to the real discussion. I guess that's why it is called the occult for a reason, the secret knowledge is only available to some.
The irony is that Gareth the atheist seems to be the one in perpetual orbit around Christianity here, while Tristan the Satanist has moved on to better ways of distinguishing his identity while actually standing in solidarity with others who want to do the same.
I wonder why the host interrupted the guest, not allowing the guest sufficient time to answer questions?
Great insight
My main question to Christians was, "why is it that there is so much pain and suffereing under the watch of the Christian God" and all"" prayers fall on deaf ears. No christian person or leader could explain it to me throught their own wizdom or using biblical scripture. In fact they stumbled over them selves in an atempt to answere the question but couldn't. Gareth, I love your show! But you need to let the man with understanding speak!😂 We want to learn😊
""Thumbs up"" button not working in this video either.
The need for content and talking points has become critical for cliff central. This is scraping the barrel
if you have the back bone for a real conversation invite Grant Retief (Christ Church Stellenbosch) onto the show, and ask him the same questions..
Get JamJam on
Twee van my gunstelinge. Het die gesprek geniet. Ook aangenaam verbaas toe Cliff noem dat hy ook hun ongelowige is.
Now this should be intersting. I can't wait.
Gareth, rather listen to your staff next time.
Gareth well done! I always knew you were well read. You have surpassed yourself. Genius comes to mind. You won hands down!!!
won what exactly? The interruption medal?
I am in 3 minds.
1. Subject is a win
2. Gareth constantly interrupted. This is not like him... And I'm a bit disappointed 😢
3. Gareth won with reason, as if it was a competition, the poor oke jumped from point of view to another.
Not quality at all.. Sorry G, I love you but... Nah
Yea i dont think tristan was allowed to make a single point from start to finish
This interview is a mess. It's like Cliff thought he'd just wing it without doing any research. Probably thought because he picked up a smattering of hot takes on philosophy and Christian history over the years he’d be set to take on this subject. It’s more like a platform for his ideas and biases than an interest in letting his guest speak. Though Kapp needs to temper his inclinations to throw in off topic quotes and work on curbing a tendency to ramble. It's podcast fodder of the worst kind.
This seems like yet another spinoff of some wokey BS grift
Kind of but not really, it's from America in the 70s. It's basically, just edgy atheism. 🥱
Love your brain Gareth, interrupt away 🙏🏻
Worst ever in every sense ☹️
Tristan you are wrong about the Constitution - Section 15 "Everyone has the right to freedom of conscience, religion, thought, belief and opinion."
Tristan is wrong about so many things
Did you even listen to what he said?
@Anton-zl5uc calm down. Everything that Tristan said is not factual. We know you are in awe of Tristan, but stick to facts!! Your personal attacks on people are just confirmation that you don't know the first thing about debating....
@@vicetsebeth2187 you're a plumber, he's doing a PhD in religious studies. You can't speak about facts because you don't know any better.
@Anton-zl5uc like I said, you have to attack someone personally, when you can't debate. A sign of weakness. If a homeless person states facts, it is still true. I'm not disputing Tristan's intellectual ability. He is also better versed than I am. I am desputing his facts....
Tristan seem to be under the influence of Restorationism (Biblical Primitivism) and Post modernism.
To explain this to someone, let's start by breaking down the key concepts and then showing how they are being combined in this focus.
1. **Restorationism/Christian Primitivism**: This movement seeks to return Christianity to its original, early church practices and beliefs, arguing that over the centuries, certain interpretations and traditions have strayed from the true teachings of Jesus and the apostles. Restorationists often scrutinize historical and biblical texts to identify what they believe are the most authentic forms of Christian faith and practice.
2. **Postmodernism**: A broad intellectual stance that challenges the idea of universal truths and objective knowledge, emphasizing instead that our understanding of reality is shaped by cultural contexts, language, and power dynamics. Postmodernism encourages questioning established narratives and interpretations, suggesting that meanings are multiple and subjective.
When he is using a mix of Restorationism and Postmodernism in his work to argue that Christian interpretations of homosexuality (or sexuality in general) are wrong, he is engaging in a multi-layered analysis:
- **From the Restorationist perspective**, he might be examining early Christian texts, including the Bible, to argue that the earliest followers of Jesus did not understand or condemn homosexuality in the ways contemporary Christians do. He may look for historical evidence to suggest that current interpretations are based on later cultural biases rather than original teachings or understandings.
- **Incorporating Postmodernism**, he challenge the notion that there is one "correct" way to interpret biblical texts about sexuality. He argue that interpretations are influenced by cultural, social, and historical contexts. This perspective allows him to question dominant Christian narratives about sexuality, suggesting that these interpretations are not objective truths but rather constructions that reflect specific power relations and cultural norms.
By combining these approaches, he is essentially arguing that not only have Christian interpretations of homosexuality deviated from the original teachings of Christianity (a Restorationist claim) but also that the very process of interpretation is influenced by subjective perspectives and cultural contexts (a Postmodern claim). He might conclude that contemporary Christian condemnations of homosexuality are more a reflection of modern biases than an accurate understanding of early Christian teachings or the inherent meanings of biblical texts.
Classic PHD bait.
And you have supervised how many phds exactly?
@@Anton-zl5ucdepending on the field of study, especially the arts or cultural studies, post modernism have been very much active in phd research, quite common actually. Phd bait🎣
Read Satanism in SA by captain Jonker
Rarely have I witnessed a more confused character. Gareth is right, therapy for Tristan, don't pass go!
Snowflake ❄️
@@Anton-zl5uc yes he is, well spotted
Terrible Terrible interview.
Gareth.....die vriendelike outjie is vir my "creepy"
Dis ok, vir baie van ons is Afrikaanse oompies oor 50 creepy. You will live.
Too many false assumptions. And inaccurate historic representation does not make it suddenly true. When comparing religion, at least ensure you define Christianity correct. There are so many inaccurate statements about Christianity. SO many things said here about Christianity is blatantly false. There are lots of people calling themselves Christian THAT ARE NOT CHRISTIANS by a long shot. So many arguments here fall flat. Lots of terrible people give Christianity a false impression because of them doing unchristian things. So, discuss what you like It is interesting. But it would have been nice to see a true representative of the Christian world there as well. Many people are insanely unhappy about their life, and this is mostly not Christianity's fault. The world is a crazy place.
This guy grew up in a world we grew up. White apartheid South Africa and I can say with certainty say what he has gone through was not the norm. Lots of people in that time, calling themselves Christian, did the most horrible things. So, to now scream at religion when people were the issue back them is way off. HE clearly has confusion due to now structure in his childhood and now all of a sudden it is the whole system that is the problem, rather than his view. He just seems to be not able to rationalize his view as reality and the norm without blaming the whole system.
Why worship Satan? He is a lower level god. God is God
🤣🤣
Did you even listen to the interview?
Where in the history of satanism do satanists ever claim to worship satan? Jesus, google is free.
