That stupid derailed thread.

Because Anton LaVey was a money hungry prick who just wanted press coverage.

His excusewas

LaVey viewed "Satan" not as a literal deity or entity, but as a historic and literary figure symbolic of Earthly values.

I wasn't directly talking to you...........

What zero said.... I think you guys are the ones that need to get a clue before you post.... thats like me starting a religion called zeusism but it being about worshiping Joe Pesci. But I guess kids will do anything to get attention these days.

[FraterPerdurabo]

Why would it be called Satanism if it wouldn't be about Satan?

Yes, you are right. I mean how could I even think about arguing against such incontrovertibe proof and irrefutable logic?

No but seriously folks, I could write a long rant explaining everything, but why bother?

Because I sort of would like to see some tiny bit of reason and explanation on why it's called Satanism.....and has nothing to do with Satan, or worshiping Satan, and the practicers don't even believe in Satan. It's in the damn name! I don't get it, please explain.

[Aemaeth]

Why don't you read you ****ing morons.


I'll put it in big letters for you, and i just love using the big font.

[Metalhead Steve]

If you look at the Church of Satan's doctrines it even says that Satanism starts with Atheism.

[Zerobanshee]

speaking of religion, check wikipedia about the "flying spaghetti monster". it is basically an idea a student had to "prove the ignorance of the way people who will belive in anything." thing is, if you are very defendant about your beliefs {christianity} then do not check it out

I meant to post after Z3RO, lol.

[bigdeath]

Whey wouldn't you let the religion evolve into its own existence then rather than using a reference from another religion? A supposedly evil entity at that.

[Aemaeth]

Because you just want to make money from selling books to saps.
Look at wicca. It's basically the same thing, with a hippy guise.

[bigdeath]

You got me there. I think its all retarded. Worship yourself huh.....

[FraterPerdurabo]

You got me there. I think its all retarded. Worship yourself huh.....

Spot on. If the person being worshipped is you, then it is retarded indeed.

[bigdeath]

I guess since you guys have accomplished so much, and contributed to make the world such a better place, you guys deserved to be worshiped by someone right? Give yourselves a big pat on the back for being such outstanding citizens of this planet!

[Aemaeth]

You're getting it wrong, it isn't about people worshipping the person, it's about self worship.

[bigdeath]

I know. It was sarcasm
