Could parts of Christianity be invaded by satanism?

They don't have late night services!

That doesn't necessarily mean there is Satanism involved.

Might just be a private service for himself and his altar boys.

I think its reasonable to speculate that large parts of Christianity have been infiltrated and taken over by demonic forces long ago. Too bad this idea is so rarely discussed, it gets drowned out in the endless bickering between atheists and christians.

no, it does not say that, in the bible.

But it does say to kill the children if they disobey am i wrong?

Actually, much of christianity is of "pagan" origin. The doctrine of hell, of going to "heaven" or "hell" upon death, compartments of hell (you are sure to hear that at a baptist bible study) and other things are of pagan origin. The bible is clear that, once you are dead, you are dead until resurrection. The idea that you must convert in this life "or else" if false as well. The way it is presented today is a marred mix of Greek mythology (Hades an all) and a lack of honest translation. There is a reason that allegiance to the KJV is made more so than Jesus. Without erroneous errors like "hell" (Hades=the unseen/grave as well as sheol) and "forever and ever" (age of the ages or "aion") such nonsense couldn't be taught.

During my christian phase I attended a baptist church and never heard of compartments, enlighten me please?

I'm no Bible scholar, but I remembered reading this. Here's a sample of text that actually does state inflicted cannabilism due to being stricken.

Deuteronomy 28 (NIV)

53 Because of the suffering that your enemy will inflict on you during the siege, you will eat the fruit of the womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters the LORD your God has given you. 54 Even the most gentle and sensitive man among you will have no compassion on his own brother or the wife he loves or his surviving children, 55 and he will not give to one of them any of the flesh of his children that he is eating. It will be all he has left because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of all your cities. 56 The most gentle and sensitive woman among you—so sensitive and gentle that she would not venture to touch the ground with the sole of her foot—will begrudge the husband she loves and her own son or daughter 57 the afterbirth from her womb and the children she bears. For she intends to eat them secretly during the siege and in the distress that your enemy will inflict on you in your cities.

Of course, don't do it, just because you read it.

I was at a church about 2 days ago and it was a baptist church by the way, and i was hearing the pastor go on and on about kindness and how we should be kind to our fellow man, But then i heard him mutter something along the lines of (as long as they are not witches)I am not very sure because it was barely a whisper, but i am sure it was a derogatory statement Now i have been doing some reading and i have found something quite interesting.

Could be a reference to Wiccans, who are gaining in popularity again. Seems the statement doesn't promote, but rather chastises, so I wouldn't say it is supportive of Satanism.

As far as the late night services, a lot of churches in my area have them; and, there plastered all over the Church's sign in front of the building. Maybe you're just not aware of them?

All of that is not to say what your leading to is not possible, as I occasionally attend a service for the "underbelly" dealing with other than goodly issues, and there's several that seem to be incessant on Devil's Tongue. Whereas, they like to speak about Satan, and like to make evil statements. So, yeah, they're gonna' be in there, to try and dissuade.

Would Satanism invade itself?

Seems to me like it would be sort of pointless.
