It's ironic that while trying to troll organized religions with the name they have chosen, their actions validate organized religions.

what do you mean?

They embrace critical thinking. Maybe tipsy and michelle just take a lesson from them instead of wallowing in ignorance and lies.

To be fair most people - including people of faith - think they embrace critical thinking but what they really embrace is criticizing what they don't believe. Thank you, John Dewey.

 

[TNHarley]

Not me. I'm happy they found a constructive outlet for their disbelief.

They do good things. Very charitable. So, yes, very constructive.

Well... they are doing good, right? Despite what you may believe about organized religions, they do too.

They dont seem to really criticize the religion itself. Just the people. Hypocrisy and such.
I remember they made a very valid point. One that i have brought up multiple times.. How the religious get special rights because of the first, while they get rejected all the time.
Example : Christians getting out of vaccine mandates (in some state or locality. Cant remember where) because of the ingredients. That pissed me off because people like me couldnt get out of it. But if i profess i love jesus, I am good. lol

Show me someone who hasn't been a hypocrite at least once in their life.

Still not a good reason for rival religions to attack each other.

Not possible.

 

[ding]

I know they do.

And sometimes they do bad.

satan/allah has been trying to destroy all civilization since the creation.

Satan isn't Allah. How stupid.

You said they called themselves devil worshippers on their website.

hey express on their website that despite calling themselves Satan worshippers,

I don't believe I ever used the word devil. Find the post where I called them devil worshippers. Or admit you lied.

Tipsycatlover I'll call them devil worshippers. They have joined a. Church that proclaims to worship it. The devil is tempting it makes sense to throw in actions to look good. But the king of liars mixes in Truths with lies to be confusing. These people's motives are to be disruptive and the atheists on the thread already don't like God or religion so their bias is to taunt and make fun of it. But I pray against it. I don't condone it. I don't condone devil worshippers or group dedicated to Satan, the devil, Lucifer or dedicated to a belief of embracing evil ideology. I dont buy what they are selling that they are good people doing good acts under the guise of Satan. Bullshit lies.

 

[JustAGuy1]

They dont believe in satan.

Good lord man.

The Nine Satanic Statements originally appeared in The Satanic Bible, © 1969

1. Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence!
2. Satan represents vital existence instead of spiritual pipe dreams!
3. Satan represents undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit!
4. Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it instead of love wasted on ingrates!
5. Satan represents vengeance instead of turning the other cheek!
6. Satan represents responsibility to the responsible instead of concern for psychic vampires!
7. Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all-fours, who, because of his “divine spiritual and intellectual development,” has become the most vicious animal of all!
8. Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!
9. Satan has been the best friend the Church has ever had, as He has kept it in business all these years!

JustAGuy1 the Satan con website has a frequently asked questions about rituals and they give suggestions like hold a blackmass , etc. It's on the Satan con website but I'm not home and can't post it. These people are worshipping the devil and evil and pretending it's all in fun to razz christians or other religious people. But they are in fact accepting all that comes along with that decision. You don't have to be a devil worshipper just to fight social justice. So choosing to do it willingly is really sad.

I'm always amused at the value placed on liberty by a nation whose economic base was enabled by chattel slavery.

It smells like......irony.

Whereas I'm always amazed at people who are ignorant of the fact that slavery was by far and away the single biggest point of contention at the time of founding.

Do you seriously believe that a large part of our country wasn't against slavery when the constitution was being drafted? It's not like this should be news to you, right?

 

[ding]

Lol. Don't worry, we can see you're doing your best.

She's a very loving person as I'm sure you are too. Marinate on it.

You sound like you think they need a good reason...

Whereas I'm always amazed at people who are ignorant of the fact that slavery was by far and away the single biggest point of contention at the time of founding.

And yet it was enabled and stayed for nearly one hundred years.

Oh, liberty!

She's a very loving person as I'm sure you are too.

Oh, I can see the love.
