I don't see Alliance as unserious or a spammer in the least. He (as far as I have seen) has never resorted to rants, insults, unneccesary profanity, etc. He seems to be articulate and very rational thinker who adds a lot to this forum. Personally, I look forward to what he has to say most of the time.
I am not driven by people’ s praise and I am not slowed down by people’ s criticism.
You only live once. But if you live it right, once is enough. Wrong. We only die once, we live every day!
Make poverty history.
You have all grown moronic beyond repair. How could you all go about your daily lives, then sign on here to express your thoughts in a formal matter, and have no say when someone makes a fool out of themselves here? It's this type of garbage that allows people to successufully not take Satanists serious. Satanists are supposed to be very intelligent. One of the reasons I haven't become one. I just don't have the resources to back up any of my future plans with the Satanic community. Here we have beings who like to shoot in the dark, and make statements based purely on idiotic madness. Not even four posts away you were told to stay on topic by a moderater. Now tell me, does this thread have any respect left in it?
"You know that we enter times that are fraught with possibilities for good and for harm, times when we are struggling to make sense of a common polity in the context of plurality, when we are unsure of what grounds we have for making any claims that involve others." - Barak Obama
That is my goal: common polity in the context of plurality.
People have opinons that imo are dead wrong and un-based, but however cannot imagine how they think. There is often incredible depth to thier thoughts, even though I think they are wrong.
Another good quote from a man I respect:
"Nothing about religion is simple." - Frank Herbert
Until I understand, I try to resist bashing.
I dont like going off topic, but you started the off-topicness.
And I thnk all those who feel that I contribute to this forum .
A primate can refer to quotes to give off the illusion of intelligence. I'm not impressed, and never will be by the likes of you. Yes, opinions are opinions, however, I won't lose any sleep over you.
It's these kind of people that beg others to reward their stupidity.
I will continue to happily deny that these types of "people" exist. For me to label you all as deceased makes me much happier.
Wow, Scythe. I'm somewhat of a cynic myself but you seem to have some sort of vendetta. Lighten up a bit. If it makes you feel any better, I marvel at how Alliance still continues to misspell "atheism" even after being repeatedly reminded by someone else on this forum in the past.
Satanism has been turned into a joke by pop-cultural, or at least something that marks one as a "loser" or a "freak."
Personally, I've heard some pretty grim stories surrounding what I call "True Satanism," where people actively kill other humans, et cetera. The book Satan's Children (written by a psychiatrist/hypnotherapist who dealt with many people who suppressed memories of being raised in Satanic-conditions) can be very frightening.
Yes, Bardock needs to consistantly remind me. I sometimes switch letters when typing. Its pre-programmed. If spelling is your only complaint against me, I really don't think you have anything to complain about.
I let things get to me more then they should. I get ahead of myself one too many times.
It just irritates me to see people defile a serious topic such as the one at hand with their rants, and slander, and negative-comical feedback.
Yes, just as you said, ignorance is bliss, but there's a time and place to be ignorant, and a time and place to be down to earth. My main beef is that, you, being of sound mind and heart, seem to encourage foul-play on here. Which, again, there's nothing left for me to do, but b*tch and moan about it.
I shall hold on any more comments, as they will be lost in the already growing mealstrom of ignorance.
On topic. As the person above me stated, how are Satanists suppose to regain any lost respect, due to the fact that they are pictured as cynical beings?
I can't begin to count all the times I've heard posers looming around the cemetary with a black cat in hand. I used to live next door to a populated cemetary, and I've seen some things that have made me laugh, and some have clearly disgusted me. People are mistreating the religion of Satanism and it sickens me.
I believe a group effort from all of us who proclaim to be true Satanists, start acting on our own, and begin cleaning up the already scarred remains of this broken religion. Yes, to say it's broken, is somewhat correct. It's not as steady or rich as Christianity, and it's not celebrated by enough.
Also note that I have included myself in this self-quest of redifining our view on Satanism. I have arranged a meeting with a member of the church of Satan. I feel I have grown spiritually strong, and intelligent enough to carry on this burden which people call, "a religion". We'll see how things go.
