All people are shit.

Excellent argumentation. Very inspiring. I agree with what you say. Happiness and grief balance each other and it's very important to distinguish the very both of them to their full extent because if one doesn't, what does s/he do here anyway?

Pretty much, yeah...

Hmm, thought I'd actually post something intelligent on here (might make a change from all the above comments), but now it comes down to it, I can't think of anything deep or insightful to say. Dammit. But you're right, people are shit *looks to aforementioned comments*. Yup.

stupid and boring

I really enjoy your comments about how stupid and boring people are. I am forced to interact with a few of these intolerable creatures, because of my job. They are hypocritical, and moralistic. They are church-going back-stabbers. They are "Christians" who are absolutely God-less. They have no concept of humor, and yet they laugh loudly and often. They have horrible taste. They lie, they cheat, they steal. They are ugliness, personified.

This is from the silat player on yahoo chat. That is, silat_player_mfn at yahoo dot com. In case you want to email me and comment back. All up to you.

By the way, you claim to empathize, but you just run away. When someone comments on your profile, you delete them and run away. You don't even try to communicate. You don't understand Nietzche or know anything about his fascination with or admiration of Hafiz. Do you know who Hafiz was?

How many times were you so hurt that you turned around and decided to just run away? Take a chance and talk to a person once in a while. I wasn't trying to insult you or get under your skin, I just wanted to know more about you. Live life a little -- you might make a friend or two.

By the way, the ego is a tool for survival but can also destroy you if you become a hedonist -- look at Crowley, LaVey, and others. Learn to read the signs in everything around you. Peace.

hmmm

very interesting website, while i agree with a lot of what you have to say (and have clearly researched thoroughly) there are discussions on the ego which seem both tautological and self-contradictary. that said having a guestbook is a selfless gift to society. i have very much enjoyed reading and will be back. the feeling is not of pleasure or even satisfaction, moreover melancholy resignation.
keep up the good work

boring

have you noticed how nearly everyone, when asked their opinion on something/anything they know nothing about (or at the most, have little, or hazy or inaccurate views on the subject...if they'd ever given it any thought in the first place), give an 'opinion', in a knowledgeable way,.... rather than admit they hadn't got a clue.

general...

1st: it is interesting to read your stuff. but there's a problem: polemics. you take the existence of good & evil for granted, so your whole world-view is based on this assumption. i find christians very pathetic people, but satanists make me laugh out loud!!! there is no fucking god and there is no idiotic satan! satanist are just inverse-christians! both see the world through a dualistic raster. offcourse i could say: yeah, i'm a weak misanthrope too... but still i know: misanthrope is a word-definition. first there were people, later there was language. it's stupid to look up words, to define who you are. you are here! you have possibilities! you can succeed! you can fail! you can die! there is no good and no evil. there's just atoms, and they don't use words. stay strong. feel. change the world as much as you can. this is life. nothing more nothing less.

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!

Re: general...

(pardon my english, i'm swiss :)
actually it was not my intention to directly accuse you of anything i wrote. for this i would have to know you personally at least. i try to look at things without as much prejudice as i'm able to. you say that satan is the symbol of your religion. i say religion is based on belief. belief is based on a priori assumptions like: satan/god exists. in my view, this is not the best way to understand reality. religion is always a biased pair of glasses you wear. i could say that i'm an atheist too, but somehow for me this sounds like saying: i'm a non-gasoline-drinker or non-cow-fucker :-P
again: no offense meant. cheerz: robbie

Re: general...

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?)? Lots of answers:

ALl people are shit?

Oh for goodness sake - get out more. Look around you - all people are shit? Shit is the waste product of a body - it has not the capacity to love and be loved, to feel the burning passion of hate or plumb the depths of despair, to feel the warmth of the sun or the sorrow of something harmed. It can not empathise or sympathise and it can not - of its own accord, grow into anything better. many people have a tendency to be shitty - that much is true - but many more strive to get out of the toilet and make something better for everyone, in whatever small way they can. I suggest you try doing the same before you bore yourself up your own back side.
