Funny thing is most Satanist don't actually believe in the being you call Satan. Also, don't bash anyone's religion, no matter how you feel about it because it can easily be turned around on what you believe.

You know, according to Judaism prior to the Church's activities in the Middle Ages, Satan was essentially just the "evil" side of YHVH. Even though they don't worship the same thing, worshipping Satan would be the same as worshipping part of God.

4. If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.

5. Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.

6. Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.

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.

8. Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.

9. Do not harm little children.

10. Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.

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

They don't seem that bad :/

A Jehovah's Witness (I do hope you're not christian, because Jehovah is one of the names of your God) is a christian denomination. And what do you mean "don't worry"? One of the 2 only christians that could form and keep a decent argument in these forums is a Jehovah's Witness. That alone earns that denomination more respect from me than the rest have.

Well i am happy monkeybutt took notice of the religion sikhisim although it isn't been discussed i am happy it's been taken notice of!!! Those satanism rules are not so bad

[Noblethe3rd]

Huh... It seems that the ideas of Deism have been left out.... I guess it really isn't so much of a religion as it is an explanation and understanding of religious beliefs..... That and few people actually realize what Deism is and how big of a role that played in the founding of America.

Isn't it common knowledge by now? The Founding Fathers were Deists.

Isn't the basic theory of Evolution common knowledge by now? Somehow people always seem to get that one wrong as well.

[ozymandius]

good idea....

I've never heard that the founding fathers were Deists. What is Deism anyway?

[Endless Devoid]

The beleif that God does not involve himself with the processes of life. Basically, God created all things, and gave nature laws with which to govern themselves.

[Phoenix]

A God that does not meddle in human affairs.

I find that much more believable.

What is Wiccanism? My friend is a Wiccan...
