Rick on Religion (again)

[analsexinspace]

I have my own sect of Christianity, which is actually closer to Satanism than to any mainstream christian religion, but I don't want to identify myself with such a negative image. Satanism, as you should know (if you don't) is not devil worshiping, as is so commonly portrayed by the media and the church, as much as it is the worship of the self (in a way). It is essentially, the glorious admittance that the self is imperfect. You shouldn't measure yourself by your god, or spend your life devoting yourself to a godbeing, what is the point in life? If my point every day, is to wake up and say "God is great", and go to church, and pray and praise it, what the fuck is the point? If my life revolves around it, why am I praising it for that? "Thank you, oh god, for allowing me to praise you."

"Excuse me, what?" - Anton LaVey

So I base my religion on the admittance, acceptance, thankfulness, that there is a god, and it is great, but I do not revolve my life around a god figure, and I live my life how I want it.

A god that creates me to worship its existance is no god I wish to worship.
