and the pot shall be stirred......
I...am a card carrying Satanist....
I was raised "non-denominational" Christian, and could never get into it. I just couldn't deal with the whole blind faith thing. I am all about being in charge of my own destiny....
If there was any one religion/philosophy that I would say I am, it would be Satanist. Not devil worshipper before anyone blows a nut, but a Church of Satan satanist. i.e. Anton LaVey
I guess the nutshell 60 second version of my beliefs is such. I am here now. I will die later. We dont believe in "GOD" or "SATAN" as anthropomorphic dieties, but more akin to "The Force" I guess is a good way to put it. There are greater powers in this universe, no one can deny that really. But to say its a guy with flowing white mane, golden beard and a naughty or nice list,....well, thats just too much for me. Said force can be tapped into, rituals, out of body experiences, deja vu, and of course, "I was just about to say that!" SATANISM was just a tag used to scare people when the church founded. It was used because doing what felt good is considered "EVIL" from 99% of the right wing religions.
I know I didnt really skim the surface on beliefs, but I gotta wrap my head around a morning doob, then I will come back and explain better...

SnSstealth Reviewed by SnSstealth on . What is your religion? OK... i know that a thread like this has a great probability to turn into a flame war, and maybe be deleted, wasting all the time i spent typing this. But i would like to know what are the religions/religious views of our members here... many times isnt easy to know someones religion only by reading their posts... Anyway... i would like to ask you, to please, dont bash others religious views. No matter how absurd they seem to be. So, what is your religion (or lack of it)? Im Rating: 5
