My Religion, the worlds most feared religion

Post by Skorpion Stryke »

I haven't told many people this but I am a Satanist. not to be confused with devil worship. Satanism unlike many religions relys on logic and reason rather than faith which is why we don't get along with christians and muslims very well. we are very open minded and are supportive of science and evolution. im not preachin' the word of Lucifer, just givin' ya'll the facts. :twisted:

I was under the impression that the only reason it was called Satanism was because Satan is a symbol of rebellion and thinking for yourself, and not actually because of religious beliefs.

Do you actually believe that Satan and God exist, or do you think of Satan as a mere symbol?

If you only call yourself that to piss christians off, it's childish.

If you believe in any of the shit related to satanism, it's still an irrational religious belief, and thus moronic.

Satanism is not a "solid" religion. some satanist belive satan is merely a symbol. others belive he was a real being. It all depends on the person.

Irrational? hardly. I thought about it for 2 months before I actually got into the religion.

Eh, No bad thing with most of us as we recongize the redicilousness of the entire foundation of Christianity

Lets compare! God Vs Satan

Biblical God:Mass Murdering Homidial Manaic, Kills Millions who don't worship him and promises to kill all that don't when he comes agian, Regualy kills those who DO worship him but screw it up in the slightest
Also a Racist


Satan:Refused to Serve God, Tempted Eve.... Killed Jobe's family.... not much else

Priests will say they thought about it for years before accepting God.

Again, do you seriously believe in any sort of deity? What's your definition of satanic religion?

If there are any supernatural elements in your belif, then it is irrational. Not that hard to understand, is it?

Have you thought about it SINCE you joined the religion? That's the important thing. Just saying "OK, I'm a member of the Church of Bob, don't need to question it anymore" isn't being rational

Believing in a red guy with a pitchfork sitting on a hot coal is every bit as irrational as believing in an all-loving (in a murderous kind of way) bearded guy in the sky any way you slice it, Scorpion. Putting thought into it doesn't make a difference. I'm sure Hitler put a lot of thought into the notion of the German's being a "master race," too. Doesn't change the fact that his ideas were bullshit.

Um, do you even know what denomination means? I was saying that I didn't know why you considered yourself to be a Christian (after all you said you were part of the world's most feared religion).

If you still don't get it, get your head examined. You may have lost your cents of humor, which is very bad because that money can really add up. :)

Logic and reason do not support any religion. This young 'un seems to have adopted Satanism for the sole purpose of shock value.

Does Satanism offer any fringe benefits like free goats or something? :wink:

Aside from that...most feared...by whom?

Other than other religons whom would immediately associate you with being against them...because you're not one of them.

*ahem* He said the religion supported the logic and reason. Not the other way around. However, I agre with you, saying that a religion can be supported by logic and reason alone (which I don't think he is trying to say) is like putting a cow on a one-footed stool. But ot say that religion is in NO way supported by logic and/or reason is stupid, IMO. No I don't want to get in another arguement Wong, so just shut up before you even continue with it.

Actually, he said that Satanism "relies upon" logic and reason. Which is a complete falsehood.

You have never been able to produce an explanation of this opinion other than to say it's your opinion. Therefore, your claim that it is "stupid" has no intellectual basis whatsoever. Ergo, your use of the term "stupid" is somewhat ironic; it is quite frankly stupid to think that logic and reason could possibly support any religion, since religions invariably ask us to accept that for which there is no objective evidence.
No I don't want to get in another arguement Wong, so just shut up before you even continue with it.
And you think I will obey your imperious commands ... why?

How is the acceptance of beliefs which are nondisprovable and for which no evidence exists to prove leave the possibility open for logical support? Religion is antitheitical to logic.

Okay, but if you look at it, even Christianity *somewhat* follows evolution....and there is logic in there.....just hard to find, and not necessarily the logic of science. I necver said it was scientific.
