It was exactly what i was trying to say... we cannot rationalize the faith, or belief, because it is a not a rational thing.Quote:

PUT THAT IN YOUR PIPE, AND SMOKE IT.
I think Satanism has a relatively sound perspective on life... You are your own person and entity, you're free to do as you wish, enjoy yourself, believe in yourself, be kind to those who are kind to you, don't do stupid stuff to others, ect.
I believe it's more of a lifestyle than an actual religion, per say, as religion usually deals with mono- or polytheistic spirits or beings.
I was raised Catholic, when to a Lutheran school while going to Baptist, Catholic, and Presbyterian churches, believed in the ideals of Wicca and Buddhism, lived my life akin to that of a Satanist, and at the same time, I don't believe there is any god/goddess presiding over us. If there IS a god, I don't see why he should be concerned whether or not I believe in him, if so, he must have a serious inferiority complex, if he feels we need to verify his existence...
What I don't understand is those people who claim everyone has a personal relationship with god, every one is different, yet they try to tell you what to believe in.
People need to embrace humans, not their beliefs.
i was suprised when i started learning about it... up til that point, i'd always heard "the first part of worshiping satan requires you commit suicide" and then just the general evil that's always associated with satan...Quote:

as an extreme example, it actually says it's ok to have a threesome, as long as all parties are fully willing, it also says premarital sex is ok, and actually discourages doing evil to others... such as rape....
o.0 alot of people have no idea what they're talking about when it comes to satanism...
even alot of so called satan worshipers, aren't even following the religion (of couse i'm talking about the most popular form, taught by anton levey) it's kinda funny, all the satanist i knew in junior high, and how they acted... then i started reading up on it... and boy was i suprised :p
Yep, it's basically founded on natural human insticts, and not repressing them. I don't call myself a satanist, or even religious. I just Am.
Yea, my dad's inicials are G.O.D. my inicials are A.D. My grandparents, 4 uncles, and mother's last name is Cross.Quote:

The mind may wander, question, and provide answers for the moment. Past, present and future thoughts are just fill to placate your existence. Your one and only purpose for being here is to learn. The soul needs to feed on lifes little treasures so it can move on to the next level. Of the billions of humans on the planet, there are myriads of differing plains of soul status. Wherever you are is where you are supposed to be. You cannot change your journey, only influence it. Intelligence (within reason) has no bearing on the outcome of your journey to perfection. Just know, that on this planet at this time, collectively, we are a long way from perfection. The ultimate goal is to be one with the creator, one not wanted by most at this time in our development, as that would entail giving up Ego. No-one can be perfect in this stage, even Jesus was less than perfect and there are no Jesus' on this planet.
you guys need to sit back and realize that... this discussion is an unedable debate. And honestly, who gives a crap. I dont believe in god, but i dont think its right to challenge what people belive in, quite honestly its the human condition. We dont need to accept facts or lack there of to belive in something its purely what motivates you. I think people should all just accept the fact that we all think differently, and its non-sense to think that you have any right over another to tell them there wrong, becuase its purely belife on all ends, no matter how much fact and science, there equally unknown.
wow somone with understanding..amazingQuote:

If you're going to attempt to argue with people you should at least know some facts.Quote:
