Satanism is the belief in a deity, Atheism says theres a lack of proof for a higher power.
Well I'm a skeptic.
there isnt a single atheist who follows Satan. Satanists follow Satan.
There is atheistic and theistic satanism, atheist satanists believe not in actually satan, but they believe in him as a concept that would push them in life
Theistic satanists actually worship the devil
its kinda sad for atheist because if they are right they go to nothing , butt if they are wrong. seems like one would want to give themself a lil bit of hope.
I want to believe tbh.
its not that hard
okay, but evevn if there are atheistic and theistic satanists, theres a very obvious distinction between an atheist and a atheistic satanist.
Well, my criticism of both kinds of satanism is that satanism glorifies committing sin for pleasure in life, and that satan encourages people to perform the 7 deadly sins
i tried to believe with all my heart before, believe me, but i dont buy into religion.
Normal atheism doesn't care about sins or anything and is pretty different from atheistic satanism
warhog the main thing is to just be a good person and try to do the right thing
So yeah normal atheism is alright but both kinds of Satanism are bad imo
well of course, but i dont need to be religious to be a "good" person or to "do the right thing"
^^ agree
thats what im saying 🙂
I second that.
it works for me but that fit is not for everyone and if one is doing what they can to be a good person i have to respect that
im a conservative atheist. that should tell you where i stand on a lot of things lol. im an atheist, but i still believe abortion is evil. im an atheist, but i realize that Christians are the target of a lot of prejudice from the left, and because i believe in the 1st Amendment, i would stand with Christians if it ever came down to fighting for their right to worship and practice as they wish.
So I've been watching from the shadows, but Christianity isn't about good works and that isn't how you're saved
@Wardog would you acknowlege that pride, sloth, greed, lust, gluttony, wrath, and envy are bad things?
mhm. i think all religious have evil in them, thats one of the reasons i dont subscribe. but i think some are more evil than others.
There are many false 'Christians' that claim things that are against what's in the Bible
yeah, generally i would agree those arent good things. @AWOIII we could get down and argue tiny semantics on a few, but i havent been awake long enough for that XD
Some of the stuff the catholics did was pretty bad
Just take the good.
@Wardog There we go. That is the difference between normal atheism and satanism
Most religions are outdated.
But we can always learn to be good people because of them.
Honestly I don't really even count Catholicism as Christianity anymore. Too much stuff in it that's unbiblical
Just my main problem with satanism is the outright glorification of sins
It makes me happy to see a place where people can talk about differing opions like religions, in a civil manner
Same
religion has been used in so many evil ways to manipulate people i cant really argue with a person who does not like it or want to take part in it. i dont go to church because i have made my peace with it and i dont need a person who is most likely a hypocrite telling me his interpretation of it
well yeah, i was arguing there was a difference between them lol. i dont want to be lumped in with Satanism. we have all seen some crazy Satanists, but just like all religious, there are some decent people who follow it as well
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No, before anyone gets crazy. I do like the Satanists Commandments. The ones that say do not harm children.
yes
thats a big redeeming thing for me.
Same.
