Athiestic Satanism

[kenton]

Is the shit. Lookitup.

Stupid shit for self important, "rebellious" 14 year olds.

I can't make sense of that website.

Okay, OP, imagine for a moment you're discussing this 'Atheistic Satanism' with a human. What would you tell it about Atheistic Atheism?

this.


also, oxymoron? atheistic satanism?

Satanism can refer to a number of belief systems depending on the user and contexts. Common, but not precise, use of the word generally refers to "the worship of Satan or the powers of evil.

Atheism, as a philosophical view, is the position that either affirms the nonexistence of gods or rejects theism.

Satan doesn't take the position of a God in Satanism, it's not about worshipping anyone, but affirming and fulfilling the desires of the individual. Allegorically Satan is seen as the one that freed man kind, by tempting us in Eden, Satan is seen as one brave enough to stand up to God and call hima cocksucker. In other words Satan is seen as a kind of liberator. The magic part of satanism is often nothing more than psycho-drama to affect the psyche of the individual.

This isn't a definitive answer (God knows I don't know, or care, enough about Satanism to really think about it.), but it's really just to show how Atheistic satanism is plausible.

Seems to me to be little more than a mystic materialism.

Atheism is the rejection of super-natural beliefs. You try and claim that satanism is not anything super-natural, but then go on to telling some myth about god and satan and the garden of eden.

You can argue that any religion is about full-filling ones desires.

Yes, Atheistic Satanism is an oxymoron. Besides, it sounds like a name given to atheists by christians.

Satan is, of course, a myth, but a key figure in Christian symbolism.

One could no more be an "Atheistic Satanist" than one could be an Atheistic Christian. It is , like, totally an oxymoron, dude.
