I'm a satanist. Before any of you jump on a bandwagon just let me explain
something. Satanist do not worship the devil, those
are devil worshippers and something entirely different from
satanism. Basically the whole concept is the view of "Do what
thou will and let that be the extent of the law." Every time I see
a person claiming to be a satanist on TV and spouting on about
Anton LeVey I start laughing. True satanism isn't something
you pick up a book to learn. It all boils down to let your conscience
be your guide. I have never and don't foresee myself dancing
around with a goat skull on my head praising the devil.Satanism
is kind of between agnostics and atheists, we just don't file
a lawsuit every time we see the word God.
The Christian church really pisses me off. How can they be
against Halloween and yet support Christmas and Easter? All of
them are pagan holidays. Halloween = Samhain,
Christmas = Yule, Easter = Beltane. Christmas was actually
denounced by the church and banned in England for years. It
wasn't celebrated in America until the late 1800's.
Also, how in the hell can homosexuals be allowed into a church
when their lifestyle is specifically denounced in the Bible? The
Bible also states that the man is the head of the household. Not
many of todays women would be so supportive of the church if
that rule was enforced. I see so many people in the church
drinking, smoking, and fornicating Saturday night and praising
God Sunday morning. Asking Jesus for salvation is only part of
being saved. You must make an active attempt to refrain from sin.
I don't think God likes people playing pick and choose with his
rules.
As for Angrist, as a church I believe the Jehovah's Witness is
closer to having Christianity right than the other churches. The
only spots I'm unclear on are:
1) The belief that the antichrist came to Earth in 1914 or somewhere there-abouts and
2) Knowing which people are going to Heaven.
Feel free to explain these two to me because I am actually
interested to know.
As for the Muslim belief, I really don't know enough about it to
make an informed decision. However if you believe flying jets into
skyscrapers assures a place in the afterworld then you are wrong.
I know there are extremists in every religion and I'm hoping that
they are the exception rather than the rule.
I know this was a long post but I could talk about this for hours.
None of my comments were meant as personal digs at anyone
and I hope they are not mistaken as such. Everyone is entitled to
their own personal beliefs.
