Do they have to like give people the finger regularly to appease their devil?

If they did I imagine one of two possibilities. Either they give you someone else's fingers, or they shove yours up your....

Yeah they actually are pretty good rules except this one I dont like this one:

? quoting Satanic Site

7. Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained. [/quote]

And this one's end made me laugh

? quoting Satanic Site

11. When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.[/quote]




Reckless disregard for childrens well being, women and nothing but utter contempt for other cultures.

Ahahahahahaha <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif"> I also like how they specify that only "little" children must not be harmed - I guess others are fair game!

The Bible etc originated from a time long before Civilisation came to understand that the World wasn't flat, that the Earth wasn't created in 7 days, before theories of evolution etc etc.

i'm a bit tired of hearing that same lie repeated, so maybe someone could tell me whereabouts in the bible this flat earth claim is made. i know people were persecuted by religious authorities for stating as much, but whatever reasons the spanish inquisition had for their attempt at world domonation, i'm 100% certain that it wasn't based totally on the bible.

seven days of creation is a relic from the sumerian culture, where the creation story is commonly found on sets of seven clay tablets. moses was already well versed in this as he was a priest before he done a runner from egypt. (mock the sumerians at your own peril)

but proving or disproving god is pretty silly talk really, since as far as i can tell, i can't even prove if I exist in the way that i think i do.

There is so much stuff out there one can believe in.....

I stopped believing in some particular thing a long time ago. I can't really describe what my religion is. I tend to belive in different parts of buddhism and shamanism. The major thing that counts is to gain peace.

Therefore I vorted 'other/atheist'

The interesting thing about Satanists (and I have a couple friends who are) is that they are a sect of christianity. Because Satan is a character of Christian lore. So you can't be a Satanist without believing in Christianity (but many members are against christianity). A rather odd situation I think.

Not really when you consider that it takes a vagina to produce a gay, yet most gay men find the idea nauseating.

There are many examples of a thing existing in spite of its contradictory nature.

So Christianity equals a Vagina, and Gays are equatable to Satanism?

Ethically Jewish? Is that like "yeah guys, I think I'll be Jewish because their rights, ethics, morals, and ideas. Yet I wasn't born a Jew"? As far as I have heard, you can't convert to Judiasim, you can only be born into it. And thats what I think too being a Jew.

ALSO!

I think Satanists are more logical then some Christians. They acually don't look like they would go running around and killing people. Their rules bassically say, keep to yourself, and be polite. If someone is being annoying, be polite ask them to stop... if them don't DESTROY THEM!

2. Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.


Does that mean Satanists can't have blogs? And this must also mean emo people aren't Satanists!

I suppose so from the standpoint of, without one there cannot be the other.

I realize your text is blue, hence humourous but some here may find the blackness of the comedy offensive. My point was not to bring to light the gay situation, only to point out that some things exist in spite of their clashing nature. Without a woman, no one can be born not even a gay who for the most part find a woman unattractive.

Ok I linked the Image


Ok, I said before how cool Satan is in me previous post. And then I went to that homepage of the rules. And I found a disturbing image. Not disgusting, just I found a little odd.

Ok, see those little letters going around the pentagram.... well those are Hebrew letters. Hebrew, is the language Jews speak. I am Jewish.

Now, could it just be me or are Satanists asscociating the Jewish religion with Satan?

Here's a little hebrew lesson, and what letters they used.
image

He - (Pronouced: Hay) - Top Left - Makes a "H" noise

Yod (Pronounced: Yud) - Top Right - Makes a "Y" noise

Final Nun (Prounced: Nun) - Bottom Left - Makes a "N" noise

Lamed (Pronounced: Lawmed) - Bottom Middle - Makes a "L" noise

Vav (Pronouced: Vuv) - Bottom Right - Makes a "L" noise

Its more likely that Satanism incorporates occult symbolism into its rituals, foo. Actually, if you read the Satanic Bible its an extremely rational book, and, while I'm not a member (I'm not forking out real money for a little red card) I share most of the beliefs (except the main nontheistic ideology <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> )

I used to be quite into the occult but less so now, mainly because Aliester Crowley died a penniless drug addict, and that speaks volumes.

yes, because Buddhism was not made by man, it was made by.. wait a minute... man.

I think the church of Satan is just like "let's do something that nobody else is doing, and while we're at it, lets make it the EXACT opposite of the established norm" there can't be more of a "counterculture."

As far as I know, most satanists do believe in God, but are against Him. You see, believing in God isn't really the question - serving Him or not is what counts. You can call yourself a christian and still not live for God. I think that's what happens a lot. Look at Ireland. According to the bible, those people that kill each other are no christians, yet the call themselves so.
But hey, it's written in the bible that not everyone who says Lord Lord shall enter the kingdom...

still, does anyone else think that satanists are trying to make some kind of connection to Judaism. Like, going on the theory that jewish people are evil. Like that whole "jew killed jesus" thing. and are using that for some kind of shock factor to make them cooler or whatever?

you know what? captain P? it's that realization there that lots of others need to have. You've got to understand that anyone who kills or starts a war in the name of god is a not christian (unless God tells them to for real which hastn happend in a long time.). Just so, i don't think that the terrorist guys over in the middle-east are really Muslims.
