Satanic Bible

Obviously an Atheist bible, so fuck it.

It's one thing to not believe in God, and it's even another to resent some of the fanatics that do, but being fanatical and trying to convert others to your cause and alienating all others just like those that you claim to not be like?

That right there is the kind of person and mentality I just can't stand.

well thats not the ENTIRE passage. the rest of that chapter goes on to suggest that there is no reason to even externalize your god from yourself, and instead worship yourself as though you're a god.

But you are worshiping yourself as a god. Note the lower case.
Whereas a God is a higher power, you are merely centering your admiration and devotion unto yourself.
Even non-Christian cultures would call that 'arrogance'.

Well, it's the same with any thread. If you say "It makes sense" that's all you have to do, but if you say "That's ridiculous", you have to come in and defend that position.

Not only is that more involved than most people get, but... well, you know how much people like to try and argue with you.

That was, in every sense, uncalled for.

Honestly why do they use Satan? It could be anyone who said those sayings. But the Satan as we know through multiple prophets is a horrible man who would never, ever say these things. I don't think this religion truly follows Satan.

Following Abrahamic religions, all Satan would have to do is get people to turn away or disbelieve in God. He doesn't have to get people to follow him per se.

Not sure if you meant to say "A worship to the principle of reason" instead of "i worship to the principle of reason"
But this is less reason, and more hedonism.
People ask what's wrong with pursuing pleasure, and I say "everything in moderation." Look at how Oscar Wilde and Mick Jagger ended up.

try actually reading the Satanic Bible before bashing it.

I have not, but I will go through it. How long is it?

I doubt you actually read the Qu'ran, unless it was preparation for a deployment, but I know you didn't read the bible any more than Carl Sagan did.

Arrogance is when you truly believe you're more entitled and better than everyone else on a absolute level. this is a lot different. It the promotion of a healthy ego.

an hour or so of reading if you include the Book of Belial and Leviathan. The Book of Lucifer is the core text though.

I've read all of the bible....and no, not the Qu'ran.

i'm not even sure the point you're trying to make...

and its not an 'atheist' bible since it still believes in an influential force in the universe.

I'm a firm believer in religious freedom, so i'm okay with people believing in this stuff.

But do i think the satanic bible is ridiculous?

Yes.

Espically as it's completely bogus.

It seems much more like an attack on religion (namely Christianity/Judaism) and much less an actual religious text.

just as much as Christianity is an attack on pagan religions.

Hell, The Satanic Bible, while only written in the 1960s, is based on information from as far back as before Christianity even began.

Philosophies?

If you call em that.

All they say is for you to be selfish, cause life is short.

And that God is trash.

Yes. LaVey was using it as a shock tactic to get his opinions noticed.

It's just old pre-established bullshit in a shiny new wrapper.

I read the first few paragraphs of each chapter. ( I cannot spend that much time. I will get back to completing it later)

Now. We need to look at this as a man looks at a country. If everyone believes that the strong should be praised and the weak should be spat on, it will only make the strong stronger and the weak weaker. That being said, only the strong will be eventually be worshiped. For they will have the opportunity to bring about death to the weak. Giving them power, respect, and in this case, morals? Killing the weak innocent makes you a better and more highly respected person.

You need to respect the weak. For the power is within the people. Those people are the ones who grow wheat to make a living. Treating them like dirt will cause rebellions. Rebellions leads to death on both sides. Soon there are no weak. Only strong. The strong will argue against each other. It will destroy them. In the end you have no strong and no weak. Everyone will be dead trying to everyone one else. Do you want to live in this world?

False. Satanism teaches to empower yourself.

It also teaches to be nice to everyone until they give you reason not to be.

You mean the one that preaches love?

you mean the one that is a total hypocrisy.

Infernal??? Your bible is about the lord of hell, and your a faggot just for making this. Reasonable my ass as everyone has said that book has no prophets and it is made by man, it should considered shitty fiction. Hell the only people that believe in this shit are emo idiots that are trying to go against the social norm.

The church and the pope have said this before, God accepts people of different faiths as long as they are good at heart, the bible has said as well, mainly the new testament though.

Your bible is the meaning of hypocrisy, in its words are deceit for they mean something else, they imply something else. I can tell from the quotes, it is hinting at praise of the powerful, self indulgence, hatred, and so many other despicable things. I knew you were a atheist NT but for the love of god, a satanist? The only religion that would be worse would have to be unitology on the ishimura.
