I'm a theistic satanist. I read about it online and I liked it. I can't find much on it though. Although I've had expierences...peaceful ones while being a theistic satanist. http://joyofsatan.com is the website. Am I a fool for basing my religion on some info on a website. Do you know anything about this religion? Where can I find some other info. Please don't make fun of me. I just need some info.

if youre a fool for it, so am i. i use the same site.

Yes, you are a fool.

from 10 seconds of looking at this site, i know its full of shit...

"The Lost Book of ENKI, Memoirs of an Extra-Terrestrial God.

*This book was taken from the inscriptions on the ancient tablets and is the autobiography of Satan, himself."

dumbass...worship yourself or something that would be more satanic. make a little idol of yourself and pray to it...

levay said that. He's a dumbass. He's just like: "We're gonna rebel and call ourselves satanists but worship ourselves just to piss everybody off."

"We Satanists are all individualists. Which is why we're all going to band together and call ourselves Satanists. I totally do not appreciate irony."

you both seem to be oversimplifying to me...

Oversimplifying what? That these idiots are basing their life philosophy on texts with no appreciable historical or religious credibility? At least Christianity has the validation of blood and years.

Yeah but Christianity didnt start that way.

It was only through the sacrifice of blood and ambition over the years that achieved the validation it did.

I say if it works for you run with it.

Ask yourself if your wish to become Satanist is out of spiritual reasons or just some primitive need to lash out at Christianity first though.

If its the latter keep on looking if its the former good luck in your new beliefs.

Wow. I read that trash for almost 30 minutes. What bull took a shit that big?

Off this subject, Hello everyone. 1st post. (btw I'm an atheist if anyone cares)

Well taking your morals/beliefs from what someone else wrote seems a bit idiotic to me. If you mean as opposed to other religions, they all share the same level of idiocy.

You're not a satanist. You're a fucking moron.

You are the epitome of religious tolerance

Tolerance is overrated.

My ass it is

I understand modern satanism and I have a true respect for it. It's a man-made religion just like the rest, only it's not masquerading as something more divine like the rest. I find something very human and true in satanism and I would never knock it. It's not my thing, though.

Cheers,

Lost

Thats non sense Lost. Its fucking idiotic theory to make them feel big. Its a means to an end.

Let this be a testament to the fact that I will read just about anything, for the sake of reading:

(taken from godzillaroar's link)

What happens when I make a formal commitment to Satan? Almost immediately, things start to get better...

And that's where it lost all meaning to me. Just another useless Mind Virus, tricking people into believing that it's doctrines will right all wrongs, settle all scores, and exalt the worshippers above and beyond the rest of Humanity.



Welcome to the Fold, Megrim. Hope you have a sense of humor made of steel.

That is the stupidest site ever.

It claimed that the Church prohibited all sexual activities, except for reproduction purposes, because they do not want people to attain meditational powers from sex.

I never said I subscribe to it, and I know exactly what it is. But, at the core of things a lot of religions are exactly that. In fact, you can't prove any of them arent.

Cheers,

Lost

Your welcome is appreciated. I like to think that I have a profound sense of humor, and, based upon what I've read so far of this site (mostly in this forum and mad scientists) I think I'll fit right in.

So you are going to join a religion because you "think you like it"? Sounds like a good reason. Maybe do some more research before you commit yourself to something you know nothing of.

Do you make yours up from scratch? Just about everything you know is borrowed intelligence. Your "original thoughts" aren't really so unique and original. Your mind just makes it seem as though no one else could possibly grasp onto the revelations going on in within the confines of your own head.

Ehh... you realise joyofsatan.com is a parody, right?

True satanism is about not believing in any god at all.

It is about doing what is neaded to reach your goals and make your dreams come true, and about respect.

Sites like that give it a bad name.

Sorry I guess that came off as wrong. I meant it is better to form your own opinions based on information, and not to take your opinions from someone just because he says something without any info to back it up.

you want a bad name? read some of the e-groups messages. they cant decide on a goddamn thing. half of the people think angels are enemies, and the other half dont think they exist. (just to name one thing)

why don't you add something to humanity, instead of wasting your time being introverted and generally self involved. how about instead of satanism, go around picking up litter or maybe give an extremely ugly girl head?

Than why bother with Satanism? You can do what is needed without Satanism can't you?
