Sounds a lot like conservatives.

Why do you say that? Don't go comparing conservatives to Satanists.

because we dont turn the other cheek when we get attacked.

I THINK THAT WE SHOULDNT REPLY TO BOARDES LYKE THIS CUZ THEY R TOTALLY STUPID DONT YA GUYS THINK?

And no, I didn't catch when you said it was evil. If it wasn't recently, I probably forgot on it.

And recall, during my past year in YouthNOISE, I've gone through more changes than...well, I don't know....but I've changed a lot.

No, I'm not turning on Satanism, for a few reasons:

- It has been killed by angsty teenagers.
- It's still a tad too liberal (as in, some things aren't defined in it) for me.
- I don't follow anything in general. Nor will I ever. I won't bind my mind to any religion, cult, belief system.

The reason why I defend it, and why I have come to re-study it, is because my boyfriend is a satanist, so I figured I'd research it again (I had at 11 but stopped) before I jumped into any conclusions. He hasn't hurt me in any sense (nor has he hurt anyone in general); his only main flaw is that he's pretty much an ******* to everyone unless he gains respect for you.

Because you don't know anything about it. Tell me, now that you know on Satanism, what are the Satanic sins? The rules? What is LaVeyan Satanism? Rituals? Do they worship the Devil? When was the Church of Satan founded? Do Satanists have a Bible?

You didn't jump all over me when I said it was evil.

people are stupid, including you, Celtic. If you're turning to Satanism, I've lost the little respect I've gained of you these years.

Why not?

The natural want for sin is the things that make our lives difficult, but we have a natural want for them, and so Satan gets to us easy. It's a matter of self control.

Christianity goes against the natural want for sin, but that doesn't mean it goes against human nature.

And why is my nature a "sin"? That is what I find insane of the Christian concept of "sin"?

Which is insane.

They represent the natural sins of man. The Satanism religion just chooses to indulge the natural want for evil.

They represent logic and common sense of human nature.

Celtic, their first nine rules scream evil.

Bull they're going to hell. Once they flatly harm someone, they go to hell. God, unlike you, is not ignorant and egoistic enough to do as you said so.

I was trying to say that I didn't think they were going to Hell. WAKE UP!

Besides, I haven't even seen the Satanism thread. I actually got my information from the official Satanism site, about a week ago in fact.

And by the way, apparently you ONLY read my thread on Satanism. You did not answer my other questions, and plus any person with common sense who has read on Satanism would know they're not evil.

Yes they have a Bible, and their 9 first rules, just show how evil the religion is. Yes, I don't think very many people at all are going to Hell, but these are just flatly against what the Lord wants, and he's probably crying over His lost children that He loves so much. When this happens he grieves. I got these of a Satanic site:

The Nine Satanic Statements

I Satan represents indulgence, instead of abstinence!

II Satan represents vital existence, instead of spiritual pipe dreams!

III Satan represents undefiled wisdom, instead of hypocritical self-deceit!

IV Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it, instead of love wasted on ingrates!

V Satan represents vengeance, instead of turning the other cheek!

VI Satan represents responsibility to the responsible, instead of concern for psychic vampires!

VII Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all fours, who, because of his "divine spiritual and intellectual development, has become the most vicious animal of all!

VIII Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!

IX Satan is the best friend the church has ever had, as he has kept it in business all these years!

How awful!

The 9 Satanic sins are stupidity, pretentiousness, solipism, self-deceit, herd conformity, lack of perspective, forgetfulness of past orthodoxies, counter-productive pride, lack of aesthetics,
