I personally think Satanism is quite...contradictory. Satanism is the revolution of Christianty, but Satan exists only in Christianity (and some other religions, but that's besides the point).

QUOTE(Paradox of Life @ Feb 3 2006, 10:01 PM)  Satanism is not a religion. Satanism never was a religion. Exactly. For something to be a religion, don't you have to have a deity to worship? As Waccoon defined it, Satanism is basically indulging yourself, he never said anything about actually worshipping Satan. It's just like Buddhism. It's not a religion. It's only a way of life. |

I'm not for or against satanists. It's just another way of life. If someone tries to dictate the way such a large group lives then they're an a-hole.

 ... When in the world did she even allude to the fact that Satanism is a minority?...........She said Satanism is a way of life, not a religion. Absolutely nothing about the number of followers it has acquired. |

I know that it's true, but you never said anything about it being a minority in your post.

"Religion is commonly defined as a group of beliefs concerning the supernatural, sacred, or divine, and the moral codes, practices, values, institutions and rituals associated with such belief. [1]" Main Entry: religious Pronunciation: ri-'li-j&s Function: adjective Etymology: Middle English, from Old French religieus, from Latin religiosus, from religio 1 : relating to or manifesting faithful devotion to an acknowledged ultimate reality or deity <a religious person> <religious attitudes> 2 : of, relating to, or devoted to religious beliefs or observances 3 a : scrupulously and conscientiously faithful b : FERVENT, ZEALOUS It isn't required that you worship a deity to be considered religous. Nor is it required that a system of belief recognize a deity to be considered a religion. Such a definition is far to narrow and exclusive. Although Satanists do not worship a deity, Satanism is certaintly still a religion because of it's ultimate view on reality, it's traditions, practices, moral codes, and dogmatic attitudes to all of these things. Buddhism is also a religion. Although Satanism and Buddhism may also be recognized as philosophies of sorts, they are most certaintly still religions. |

I can not be supportive of traditional satanism. Anyone who kills animals is heartless.

Atheism and Satanism are not the same things. I'm atheist and I don't worship Lucifer that bastard. lol jk. I know what's right, what's wrong and live my life by that. Kharma is without a doubt real. I think Satanists are just pissed off about Christianity and hate god so they want to in turn piss them off. But hey if you really believe in Satan, go ahead. I'm just saying it seems that people who want to be badass use it as a core excuse.

QUOTE(broken inside @ Jul 23 2006, 7:26 PM) I can not be supportive of traditional satanism. Anyone who kills animals is heartless. but in LaVey's Satanism, needlessly killing animals is forbidden in the eleven satanic rules of the earth. "Do not kill non-human animals unless attacked or for your food." QUOTE(happykmd @ Dec 3 2006, 12:22 AM) I dont believe in a Satan or Hell. Why would God have created Satan? I'm a Satanist, and I dont believe in Hell, nor do I believe in Satan in the way that Christians do. In Satanism, "Satan" is more of a metaphor.

Satanism is not the worship of the devil. |

QUOTE(happykmd @ Dec 3 2006, 12:22 AM) I dont believe in a Satan or Hell. Why would God have created Satan? It says in the Holy Bible that there is, in fact, Satan & Hell & God created them both, just as he created everything else. When he first created Satan, it was the purpose of everyone else being created & that is to spread God's word. Satan made himself one that was evil & twisted, which is particially the reason that everyone on Earth has gotten religions twisted. Satan beilieved that he was more powerful than God, which was a major sin, especially for an angel. Therefore, God kicked him out of Heaven & into Damnation. I dunno if that made any sense or not but I am a new Christian so I am not that informed on the subject yet. |

I really don't care if you believe my pet fish made the universe and gave you life or if you believe it is satan. Fish, satan, poo, it's all the same to me. I don't care what you believe or who you worship, so long as it doesn't affect me.

QUOTE(sammi rules you @ Aug 1 2004, 12:07 PM) That's not what being a satanist means.  It means you worship Satan. You don't have to be an evil person and do incredibly bad things to worship Satan. What, if you worship God, you're a wonderful person and do incredibly good things? No.  so does that mean satan is good? perfect? why would anyone worship him..what does he have to offer? |

I think it's evil and wrong but hey it's your choice, whatever makes you happy.
Satanism in my opinion is a RELIGION because a religion is basically a belief. QUOTE(ursedonah @ Dec 30 2006, 2:08 PM) For the last time, Satanists dont worship Satan Next time, read the posts. This has been established many times so far. Oh really? Well I looked up the word Satanism which is the same as a Satanist, a Satanist is a person who believes in Satanism heres the definition of Satanism: Sa·tan·ism /ˈseɪtnˌɪzəm/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[seyt-n-iz-uhm] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –noun 1. the worship of Satan or the powers of evil. 2. a travesty of Christian rites in which Satan is worshiped. 3. diabolical or satanic disposition, behavior, or activity.
