Can you please elaborate a bit on your experience? While I have become of the belief that Satan is more than just symbolic, I have never actally had any experience whatsoever that I could classify as spiritual or even strange. I am learning and searching every day, not because I'm trying to...
Satanism, in my view, is an itelligent, educated, realistic way of living life while keeping the door to the possibility of the existence of a "spiritual" realm open. Atheistic Satanism doesn't make much sense to me because, as Satanists, we are encouraged to be deep thinking, rational, and...
Lol, Orias. We're gonna keep dancing round and round. I get what you're saying, you stand firm and I respect that. None of this is about proof, it's about individual journeys. We, as intelligent, rational, sane people CANNOT sweep possibilities under the rug just because of the lack of...
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding atheism, then. I thought agnostics were the ones who throw thier hands in the air and say "Hell, I don't know!". Atheists, I thought, denied the existence of any god or deity. True?
Thant's what everything boils down to, isn't it? Beliefs. That's the beauty of it all. Whatever makes you most complete is what you're entitled to believe. However, I don't see how putting your all into a tyrannical egomaniac like Jehova completes anyone. Someone who threatens into...
Theistic Satanism is only modern insofar as LaVey having reinvented or re-exposed Satanism to the modern public. 1966 is, essentially, modern times. From this reintroduction, along with the arrival of the internet, many people have been able to research and branch out, in essence, find their...
I think you're missing my point. We're not necessarily talking about any deities, per se, like some guy in the sky in a robe. What I'm saying is that a force that is beyond our understanding may very well exist, in fact, is likely to exist. There's nothing irrational about submitting to the...
I think people are missing the point here. The problem that "theists" have with "atheists" is that they discount the very possibility of something other than earthly. Much like a christian cannot logically claim that there is a god, the atheist cannot claim that there isn't one. Forget faith...
Interesting, but....
Firstly, I wasn't commenting on your post.
Second, egocentricity, while revolving around "wants", involves attaining those wants at any cost with disregard for other possibilities.
Thirdly, it isn't about what we know of, it's the fact that being Satanically aethist...
If I may: I would challenge the atheist to "prove" that any god cannot exist. Do you know something the rest of humanity doesn't? Because I contend, if you can PROVE that, then you just may be god himself.
That's an interesting stance. But you see, if god gave us Satan as a gift, then it was yet another act of pure self indulgent sadism. Why would an all-loving, caring god create an arena of confusion? If you love your child, you do your best to keep him/her safe and sound. If god loved his...

It is a bit narrow minded to think that we humans are the only things that exists or has ever existed. It's very egocentric to think that this whole universe revolves around only us. That there is only us, in the here and now. Don't you think all "this" is one hell of an accident then? Can you...
