I don't find Satanism to be any less ridiculous than Christianity.
Obviously they're both ****ed, but neither is more right than the other.

It doesn't matter what Satanism does, its as valid to my point as to what the flying spagghetti monster does. If you're ignorant, you're ignorant. It doesn't matter if you think others are more so.Swift
Christianity is in turmoil because the entire text of the bible (other than moral stories) is completely ignorant to the truth, as covered in the creationism vs evolution thread. Especially given that you're supposed to reject ignorant arguments. Lets just ignore any self critique why don't we?

How do you know it's in turmoil? Also, what was talked about in the creation thread was the "scientific" validity of the happenings in the bible. Since science will NEVER recognize that Jesus rose from the dead, I'm honestly not to worried about the rest of what they say about the bible.

So what's your point? Satanism is just as justafiable as Chrisianity. Nothing is sugar coated. It doesn't force you to do anything. You're not threatened with Hell and the devil. It doesn't hold you back. It's not opressive; it encourages people to be creative. It doesn't make things up. It doesn't force its' views onto others. It doesn't go door-to-door in an attempt to gain members. It doesn't down-talk to other people. It doesn't put up with senseless ranting or pointless nonsense. It doesn't require to you abide by all of its' rules (note the difference between being a "Satanist" and a satanic person). Satanism is blatantly more practical, isn't hyopcritical, and it favours those who are realists or those who seek the truth. It doesn't offer anything it can't, unlike Christianity.

You're really boring me with this oppresive thing. So I guess our governments should fold because capitalisim has been an oppresive force in the world. So it must be evil. Or maybe a certain people abused it. Nope, we need to dismantle our govt's totally because we've caused oppression.
Satanism has no rules. Or at least none that aren't up for incredibly open debate. It basically just satifies all the fleshly urges of people so they have no need to change. you can just be you and be a satanist. What does this religion offer you anyway? I haven't seen any benifits outside of maybe "do what you want."

I already told you, it doesn't lie or make sh/t up. That's what's appealing about it. People can accept it because it makes sense and doesn't offer an incentive for insecure folks. No sugar coating. You die, rot, and get eaten by worms and turned inot worm sh/t. That's all there is to it. Not assention into Heaven, to descention into Hell.

So basically, it doesn't have any benifits as a religion. The Bible doesn't sugar coat a thing either.
But it sounds to me that all there is to satanism is come in and keep doing what your doing. That's not a religon, it's the current world view.

I agree with you. I'm outta this one too. But I will say one thing. Satanism = ignorence. Not to bash your religion, but most satanists are just bored and crying for attention. It's just like Anarchists. They think that being "out of the norm" Will make them cool.Burnout

Silverzone, do you even know what you're talking about? You're like 12/13, do you even grasp what's happening here?
[edit]
Oh wait I'm thinking Zach and Eric. Sorry 'bout that. But still, you've made an ignorant assumption by telling someone else what they are. You don't know that and you have no right to say it. And btw, how much do you even know about it? It's nothing like anarchy, anarchy is just plain stupid (ahem, Jeff?).

It doesn't say anything about NOT acting morally. Considering most people live by morals (pretty much the same ones as in the bible) its fair to say one wouldn't live a bad or "evil" life at all. Its just celebrating individuality which is good.Swift
But ask PS, I just said I was a Satanist to annoy you guys. I'm not really.

I do know that Satanism worships a god that tortures damned souls for all eternity. I just don't see any good/redeeming qualities in the religion. I didn't mean to come off as insulting, but thats just what I believe.PS

No, you don't know that. That just proves you have an invalid opinion. Like saying "I know cellphones cause mental dissabilities so I'm not using one".
Satanism does not worship any entity. There is no worshipping involved, and it doesn't even acknowledge the existence of a God or devil. So stop.
You don't see any good/redeeming qualities because you haven't looked at the religion from an objective point of view.
What do you know about it? Hmm? What information have you gathered directly from the Church Of Satan?
Because if it didn't come from there, it's not valid.
- 4,312
Wait, now thats confusing. If satanism doesn't worship an entity, wouldn't that make satanism basically atheisism?
- 1,620
Yeah, exactly!! But the difference is that there are a few moral guidelines to follow, but mostly ones that athiests abide by anyway!Silverzone
You don't have to believe in any higher (or lower
) power to be a Satanist. Its just like atheism (no god) but with a few tips on how to stay true to yourself.
- 4,312
Oh. I just got owned. I admit it. Anyway though, I'm sorry for making assumptions. All I really knew was what I was taught. I'll leave it at that, I am still opposed to Satanism but I will stop arguing. I'm going to sleep.
