When I say robot, I mean people like Riku's Dawn where they say stupid crap like that because his religion says its bed. They were basicly programed to say that. But people who take respect other peoples religion besides there own obviously had gotten passed the religons ignorant stero-type and say that's what they wanna belive well thats good for them instead of being a hater. Also, when you say "Siriously, skills of majick?", isn't that the same thing as saying your god dosn't exist? You can't prove majick can't be done can you? No one can prove god isn't real.

Did I say your skills of 'majick' are inexistant? Did I even imply something in that direction? No. The word amused me. Majick. Another way to make 'magic' sound cool.

"Majyyk" sounds cool also. Believing in stuff like Magic, Loch Ness, Abominal Snowman, etc. is just plain fun; it makes our world seem better than the boring, dismal battlefield it is today. Battlefield metaphoricly meant, of course.

A lot of Satanists sound like enraged, frustrated teenagers who need a target to pin their angst on and need one now. It also spawns off other religions, kind of like an inordinate reaction to the hypocritical, stupid, tired, weak, boring, failings of mainstream philosophies and religions. Rather than developing concepts intrinsic to itself, Satanism gathers its strength and power by feeding off of the weaknesses and failings of other systems of thought. The great pitfall with this is that Satanism can only be as strong as that which it reacts to, which makes it seem a bit false. Other religions spawned from actual events, teachings, and hopes of the human race, while Satanism spawned from the dislike and confusion brought upon the weak-minded that became subject to the other religions. It is a bit fascinating, but morally and intellectually shallow as well. I see the religion as pointless.

That's just what I believe, of course.

lol, really? Ok so actual events define a religion? Also, what target are you talking about? I don't see any target. Satanism is, a set of BELIEFS, that people follow and use in thier everyday lives. Isn't that what Christianity is? Beliefs that have been influenced by "actual" events. So you are saying events had to have happened for a religion to develop? I could call Christianity an outlet for people who have gotten in trouble and pray to a god to forgive them for what they have done. In satanism, "responsablity to the responsable". That means that if you screw up, it means you screwed up and theres no higher being to forgive you for your "sins". You are the one to pick yourself back up and you find your own light. No higher being his going to get you to your feat, dust you off, and send you on your way because you asked them to forgive you.

I don't see how things like magic and cryptozoology have anything to do with santanism, but maybe thats just me.

Meh, thats what came to mind when TriggerHappy got mad that Ryu said "Majick." I don't see how responding to a poste with the same content as ones posted before mine has anything to do with anything.

[Cloudy_Card]

it doesnt, i probably should've bothered to read the whole thread XD,

so what aspects of satanism were you guys discussing?

When you say, "siriously, Majick?" It sounds like you are implying it isn't real. So I aplogize for misinturpreting what you meant. But, in Satanism, Majick is practiced, just like any practice you do any other religion. Have you ever treid to experince it? Not saying you have to or anything but like I said you still cant disprove it.

When is that magic?

Magic has alot to do with santanism.

[Cloudy_Card]

are you saying that magic is a satanic act because of that, or simply that magic is just a part of satanism?

The only point I was making is that it's sad/humorous how a basic word is altered to make it sound cooler. If a video game does that, I don't mind, but I think a religion is supposed to attract people without the use of altered appearances.

I was just asking if there were any Stanist on the site that can explain more to me about Satanism because I want to become a Satanist. Also if anyone knew where I could find a site where I could read the satanic bible.

[quote]are you saying that magic is a satanic act because of that, or simply that magic is just a part of satanism?[quote]

Its part of satanism as far as I know. Im not an expert but I have learned alot about it and I probley should have expected this kind of controversy. And I wasn't anger at Ryu, I was just saying magic is just as possible as god is real.

Well the magic or w/e isnt why I want to become a Satanist. Its a plus but, I find the religion to complement my life style and whe I belive in. Also sorry for the Double post. I thought someone else posted before this.

[Cloudy_Card]

hey, i've got nothing against satanism, i'm not a satanist per se, but i think satanism is as respectable a religion as christianity or other major western religions. Also, its the only religion, (well, except the old testament) that doesnt paint satan/lucifer/etc. as an evil figure.

anywho, just curious, why do you want to become a satanist?

[Ric]

Check my last post.

[Cloudy_Card]

k... but could you elaborate, what is it that you believe in, and what is your lifestyle? just curious.

[Ric]

If I told you that I would have to kill you. Lol j/k. This was before I knew what satanism really was. Well my belief has allways been, its possible there is a god but I think we control our own destinys, out own lives and no one else not even a god controls that. The 11 satanic rules are basicly what I have been rasied to do.
