Re: general...

I don't believe in good and evil. I am a Satanist, not a Christian or an inverse-Christian. My religious has a different history and different beliefs to Christianity. Some parts overlap, many don't. Anti-Christians are still Christians, not Satanists. I am an atheist, Satan is a symbol that represents my religion.
Unfortunately, words are too useful to do without, and if we tried to avoid using nouns you'd find it very difficult. It's best to be clear, and not to make assumptions about usages of words, in short, it's best to try and find common practices and if unsure, to define your terms!

It's not that simple. Symbols are emotional and complex and rarely represent concrete things. For example, the Buddhist Nirvana. Does it exist? Buddhists believe in it, in striving for it, but in a true sense "Nirvana" is a non-existence. The Christians use lots of fish symbolism and "light" symbolism that they got from Mithraism, yet this "light" is purely symbolic, gnostic. They certainly don't believe that God has a particular frequency and candela! Religious is largely metaphorical. Satanism is the same; it's symbols *are* symbols, and there is no pretense that they represent anything more. Satanism is an example that thwards "i say religion is based on belief" All beliefs are based on belief. "belief is based on a priori assumptions like: satan/god exists" Not always true. Agnostics base their belief on NOT making the assumption that God exists, and in admitting they don't know. It's not as simple as you'd have it! Who is Satan (in Satanism?)?

weak misanthropy
|
i dont understand how anyone of any religion, even satanism, could truly be misanthropic, no your just filled with anger because everyone looks down on satanists, im an atheist, so yea i think you a moron as well, but everyone detests me for what i believe (or dont or whatever) too, so your not unique. to be truly misanthropic takes more dedication in your ideals than any religion ever will, being a 'weak misanthrope' just seems like some kind of fad or topic of discussion with others, someone who is truly a misanthrope would not be coming up with ridiculous loopholes and shit. its like saying "im only human half the time when it suits me". thats bullshit, it fucking blows my mind the shit i read and see everyday, why dont you just say "im a misanthrope, i hate humanity because ... and by the way im really an attention whore in disguise as a misanthrope because it sounds cool to my friends, even though that completely contradicts itself".
but yea, i loved some of the quotes though.

Re: weak misanthropy

ok i just read the comments, so this is a double post, but dont get too worked up over it. from what it sounds like your saying you are both a satanist, and an atheist? what? that doesn't make any sense at all to me, please explain if you find time. i haven't brushed up on my satanism in a while, but doesn't satanism require you believe in satan, who is supposed to be some kind of diety, or is it just a guy that came up with another much needed work of mind trash, much like that scientology crap, which you might be delighted to hear rates much more unfavorable on my 'delusions that are bad for earth and humanity chart' than satanism does.

An answer
|
Believe me you, that suicide has been a very vibrating thought i my current ponders, but a s I said, my religion is my barrier from death, I know for certain that I haven't created myself, and so I'll wait for death (although I'm pretty impatient these days...). Humans, humans, humans, how inane and obtuse most of them are!!!!!! How odious and hypocrite they remain...I hate myself, and the obdurate humans (most of them), I'm currently so angry at one of them( I was giving another one a favor, for free, and the polluted motherfucker thought I wanted to run out of the school, the gate was open,I didn't even address the muddy less than a excrement...) and I'm in high school, I fell like blasting a missile in his face, even if die...
