(I hope you realize I'm only joking here. I know you don't think of Satan as your lord, nor do you sacrifice goats. I'm not stupid.)
Anyway, I don't really understand those who claim they know of your religious practices, when they haven't done the proper research to understand your beliefs. As far as I know, you and I have similar beliefs, only you call yourself a LeFeyan(did I spell that right?)Satanist, whereas I call myself Agnostic. I apologize for not doing the research myself, but I'm only assuming your beliefs, based on your answers to other questions and the like.
Now that I think of it, what better place for the bible, for "the life is in the blood." You personally demonstrated a truth right out of the bible.
Edited to add...believe in God Jesus Christ, that's more important to me.
I believe the Bible is largely inspired in it's narratives. I do not think the Bible must be inerrant to be true. I also think treating "the Bible" as one book is not justified. The Bible is a compilation of different books, letters, poetry, history, law, biography... from different authors and addressing differing subjects.
I know Atheism is unjustified in reason. It's absolutely absurd when taken seriously in logic. Most Atheists fail to think deeply. No Atheist can justify Atheism on the merits.
Now where is your evidence and arguments to justify your Atheist belief? You have none. You have a mindless belief.
Here is a very cursory outline of some of the best evidences for God. The full arguments and evidences are not NOT adequately explained here. This is a very compacted outline I put together - not comprehensive.
Contingency – Why does something exist rather than nothing? Something cannot begin from nothing without a cause, so Something must self-exist. Self-existence is necessary. Self –creation is impossible. The Universe began. Universe is not self-existent. Universe requires a causally antecedent agency to explain it’s existence. God does not – no beginning.
Cosmological – Absolute beginning requires a cause. Cause of Physical Universe cannot be Physical. Must be non-physical, space-less, timeless and willful to cause Physical Universe from Physical Nothingness.
Design: Specified ordered and integrated interdependencies aimed towards a third-purpose design objectives clearly infer intelligent agency. ‘Chance’ events within limited time-frames cannot rationally account for Design achievements No plausible Naturalistic mechanisms or explanations actually exist.

Origin of radically sophisticated DNA information (software) driving molecular highly sophisticated molecular machines within each cell. Also, the design inference from irreducible complexity cannot and certainly has not been adequately explained.
Precision FINELY TUNED constants and quantities present in initial conditions of the Universe to within infinitesimally narrow ranges to permit life. Universe is precision balanced on razor’s edge. This is virtual mathematical proof of intent – a function of mind – is necessary to explain these precision orderings.
Ontological argument – God is a metaphysically necessary Being. Since God’s attributes are metaphysically possible, and all metaphysical possibilities must also be actual if possible, God must be actual.
Intelligence in Nature: Intelligence, order and reason and information all from Nothingness?
Spiritual instinct of man: Evolved to connect with something not actual?
Free-will: Chemical causation is not free-will. Agency requires a soul. Chemicals have no moral duties.
Moral Truth / Apprehension of Objective moral truth. Is rape really wrong or just an illusion? Is rape just a natural chemical byproduct caused by electrochemical activity (Atheism) – or an act of will.
Massive Historical evidences of witnessed Miracles, visions, fulfilled prophecies,.
Personal experiences: Ubiquitous NDE’s, supernatural phenomena
Christ’s resurrection witnessed by hundreds.
Absolute failure of Naturalism to explain a Finely tuned Universe, Finite Universe, Sentience, Rational truth and natural order, Moral Law (morality), intuition, intentionality, intelligence, purpose, free-will…
Now where is your evidence? You have none.
Who made it?
Besides, I wouldn't be arrogant enough to claim its the 'word of God', since it was written long ago. Maybe God could have changed his mind since then.
Anyway, I personally don't believe in any religion. I prefer logic and reason.
If Atheism is true, you are nothing but a chemical animal. Chemicals 100% causally determine your every thought. How would you know what is reasonable? Do the chemicals cause that illusion for you? How do you know which illusion is true? Do the chemicals cause another illusion to validate the initial illusion.......
Atheism is insane when taken seriously. You must avoid logic and reason to swallow Atheism.
As for the whole chemical thing, yes. Every living creature is a chemical creature. Chemicals determine how their bodies behave, and how their bodies react to different situations. However, does that mean any creature's cognitive functions are meaningless? Of course not. Yes, our brains function using chemicals. That's how our whole bodies work. And if the world I know of is nothing more than an illusion, then it's a damn good one, and I kinda like it.
And please, shut up about avoiding logic and reason. I don't avoid them. They're my main tools for living my everyday life. If you think otherwise, then you're misinformed, as you have no clue how I live. You're not me. Therefore, you don't fully understand me, so stop passing judgement.
You just avoided the logical impossibility of free-will from chemicals.
Also, again, stop with the chemical stuff. It's not helping you or making you sound more intelligent. In fact it just makes you come off as a prick. I have free choice, as my brain allows me to do anything I please. Chemicals determine how my body moves and the like. It, however, does not mean I can't have free thought.
You can't be bothered with facts and logic. You would rather live on surface impressions.
I'd love to argue with you, but you're not really worth the time or effort at this point. But before I go, a little insight. Calling someone you do not know intellectually lazy is stupid. You do not know me, so you cannot make such idiotic claims.
I'm sure my words shall pass over your head, and you'll insult me again anyway. So, I am leaving.
