Posted: 9/10/2009 6:03:16 PM | I equate actually being a follower of 'Satanism' on the same level as 'Cosplay', 'Comicon', & "Dungeons & Dragons".
It's cool when you are 14 to 16 but if you're still doing it in your mid 20's, then it's just plain sad. Grow some balls, become an Atheist and be done with it.
No gods, no masters. | |

No gods, no masters. I agree that it's really only cool for teenagers, or for people who still live like they're teenage hippies, as I knew quite a few. But once you become an atheist, you're not getting rid of your gods and masters. You're simply replacing them with big business, the media, and whoever is backing the President. | |

Posted: 10/3/2009 2:47:41 PM | ^Good point. Personally, I've found athiesm to be more of the trendy college religion you get into when you've decided you're "too grown up" for Satanism or Paganism or Wicca or any of the other popular teenage religions.
I tend to see most people over the age of 25 that are still athiests as living with some type of stunted spiritual growth. | |

Logical spiritual growth I.E. question every thing and look for the truth has no real end but being/becoming an athiest. I tend to see people that believe in a god as just be cult members who can not think for them self or just scared little ****es that need to hold on to hope of life after death. What is so sad is when you try to talk facts with these meat heads, they always at some point just go back to god work is a mistery or some other BS. There is no logical reasoning in an idea of a god, talk about stunted spiritual growth. The more educated or the high ones IQ the more likely they are to be an athiest. High IQ and more education does not stunt anything. Blind fath in a lie does. | |

Posted: 10/22/2009 7:44:36 PM | Perhaps you're confusing religion and spirituality. Most athiests I have encountered typically have no concept of spirituality. To them, if it cannot be quantified in hard terms, it does not exist. This is a learned behavior. Like many of the things we become indoctrinated with as we age. It is not natural.
Evidentally, you also know something Einstein did not because he was uncomfortable with the notion that the universe was in fact finite because it led him to the belief that there was something beyond it. Perhaps your IQ is greater than his?
Logic is a wonderfully useful thing, but too much logic can be a bad thing. Ever notice how the really brainy guys with the super high IQs that enjoy hobbies involving science and physics more often than not have no clue how to attract women? Meanwhile the meat heads who can't add 2+2 without getting 5 have no problem getting laid like crazy. Because they don't have the handicap of overthinking. They're more in tune with their nature. Meanwhile, the geeks boast their cerebral superiority in condescending fashion despite their sexual ineptness. A high IQ breeds intelligence, but it also breeds arrogance. Arrogance closes the mind to awareness. This is why some of the most educated people in the world are also some of the most clueless. | |

Posted: 10/22/2009 8:25:37 PM | I get it, there is a primal/ own nature people need to be attuned to... I support that idea, poon is relative to nature/impulse. But brains can get instinct mastery as well, they just need to quiet their mind or study it... then go "zen" dating. lol.
This thread is a big reminder of why Satanism is a joke or phrase used in passing to give an antagonist character a description.
In reverse engineering some of christianity views and some verses plucked from the bible. There is both reason and point of view on a applicable theistic or just practical Satanist.
I prefer to think of myself as a non-denominational Satanist as I don't call myself a "REAL" Satanist, pretending it is some how more in touch with the roots of blah blah blah (see even I thought the sentence of uppity bs was so ridicules it was too boring to finish typing).
I believe in altered states of consciousness and all that jazz as I have personally experienced it. Yeah yeah, probably going "CRAZY" but people experience them all the time with dedication and focus, that was back in my "christian" days.
imo and experience...
Pride should be the root of a Satanist, simple. Pride comes before the fall. Ask a skydiver falling is fun, it is the splat that gets you and in life we all go splat in the end.
Selfishness, you need to temper it with "enlightenment"... fancy way of how people work and the world works. Get what you want with wily cunning and remembering how things affect each other, in other words remember how things can come back to you.
After learning about the world, find out what "gets you off". Makes you experience joy, in what ever form. I don't care and to be honest it isn't my business if you enjoy subversion/bsdm/some other psychological kick.
Freedom/defiance, don't let groups or views of others hinder your seeking of your indulgence, aka "joy".
....there you have it, my view of practical satanism in a nutshell. it is very applicable and preserves your existence as long as you remember to think of how your selfishness could affect you and its potential consequences. I am not saying it says don't do anything, just be ready for what could happen.
People may say that is encouraging all manner of unpleasant activities, but I say that is bs and makes a person no more likely than any other belief or point of view to cause "unpleasant activities". If anything it is more likely to have someone tell people to go f-ck their self and start trying to live for theirself (ishness) instead of sucking up to people's ideals/relationship bs. | |
