I am now a Satanist
So I was reading up on Satanism to use for a short story and I discovered that it makes a lot of sense and I think I might believe it. I don't feel like typing it all out for those who don't know what it's about, but you can either go here http://www.dpjs.co.uk/serpent.html#SINR or just read this, I'll copy and paste the important stuff into a big paragraph:
"Satanists believe Satan is the dark force in nature. Good is derived from chaos and evil and not from will or motive. it does not try to isolate what is "good" from what is "evil". There is no cosmic struggle between good and evil; all is gray and natural goodness is dependent and the same as natural evil." If a real God does exist, then we cannot perceive it. We can only perceive ourselves and our own expectations projected into the heavens. It is our own sense of ego that we feel from god. It is our own pride that makes us think we know the truth. God is the individual, and each individual may as well be his own god." By accepting Satan, you are accepting a savior from death, whilst alive, so that the cost of admitting the power of death is paid by an enriched life. Satan represents the state of affairs recognized by Satanists: That all good is based on evil: That love and altruism are both selfish and carnal. Satan represents the evil and uncaring attitude of the dark force in nature. It represents good being dependant on evil and life being ultimately defeated by death. Satan represents all of this evil which in turn creates all good. Without our evil sides we are lost and Satan represents acceptance of this." Atheists are opponents of gods. A god is only as powerful as it's followers, and every atheist denies every god that little bit of power. A Satanist plays this game, too, and rejects all gods, including the Christian Satan, and demons as false."
there ya go, thats it in a nutshell. there's that and some more stuff on that website. I'm trying to figure out if feng shui can still apply here...im pretty sure it can. i'll have to try and find out. well, time for breakfast.
