I am not really sure what I believe in anymore. I was brought up Catholic, and now at the age of 27, i dont know! I believe that your soul has to go somewhere, no just done dead, nothing drawing a blank line. F that. But watch that movie that shitz crazy if you got about 2 hours to spare. I am all into outerspace crap latley. The really interesting part of that movie is about a 1/4 of the way in dont watch the first part if you dont want, but it talks about Religion, quite a bit.

zeitgeist virgin eh? Changed my life man, id love to beleive theres life beyond life, but just cant seem to accept that as making any sence. Dont know why, but i guess in your head your saying the same thing about atheism or what have you.

Ya the parallels it insists in religion make me really wonder.

My Logic: If there is an afterlife, there was a "before"life. If all there is is now, then the mere question of an afterlife is irrelevant.

Personal Understanding: There is and was all and now at once.

If the afterlife was MERELY a question, we wouldn't have all this religious violence in the world....

I wish it was MERELY a question and not the driving force of illogic in our societies.....

out. :blsmoke:

interesting...so as a satanist, is there a particular doctrine that you follow? i've dated a few satanists and i have friends who are, and it seems that the definition of "satanism" differs depending on who's talking about it.
This is true. I think it's different for everyone, as are there various types of Satanism (theistic Satanism, atheistic/LeVayan Satanism, ect.). The basic idea of Satanism is the belief in and betterment of the self. There is no "God" according to Satanism, unless you follow the theistic Satanism in which one believes in an actual deity called Satan. We are our own god. I personally believe in an atheistic Satanism, LeVayan Satanism I most identify with. Here, "Satan" is merely a symbol of human nature.

hmmm...interesting. thanksfor explaining!
so satanism is...more like idolizing "satan" as a reference to the hidden, darker aspects of humanity, yes?

the only part i disagree with is the "we are our own god", to a certain degree... personally, i think god (goddess) is something inherant in nature, and thus inherant in humanity....not some force outside of space and time that is intent on punishing us all for making a mistake.

anyways, "god" has such a narrow definition nowadays...people think there's two options: christian or atheist, which isn't the case.

You're welcome. Sorry for being vague. When I say "we are our own god," I mean, as a basic belief in Satanism, we are the controllers of our lives, instead of an outside force or deity as many other religions would have you believe. It is only the individual who can control ones own destiny.

aaah, i see. i totally agree with that, except i feel there are certain...universal "tides" that we tend to flow with...not necesarily be "controlled" by, but...natural tendencies you know?
but that's cool, i've never really heard it explained like that before.

really....name something which is perfect please. Perception is anecdotal..... G*d by consensus..... out. :blsmoke:
Anyone's individual idea of perfection is "perfect" to them. One could say that everything is perfect in that it is imperfect(refer to above). Thats what the fuck ive been trying to say..please ignore your obligation to attempt to find flaw in what i post just because you dont get it- maybe one day you'll realize..until then show some respect
