When people say you're into your religion because you're "rebellious", do you see them as arrogant or truthful?

lol I saw the idiot that said that, she can smoke pipe. Your religious beliefs are just as valid as anyone else s.

I see them as Loud mouth Bigots. that need not worry about my faith..

No one knows what you "need" except for you!!

you're a satanist? im so curious...like what do you believe?

I'm a LaVeyan, we don't believe in god or Satan, to begin with. There are several denominations of Satanism.

oh...so if you don't believe in satan then why is it satanism? i thought it was only ppl who worshipped satan or something

Satan is our symbol.

but if you don't believe in him..hmm... i guess i'll research it :P

Yeah, it's not complicated to comprehend...

haha yes..

They think that their religion is the only one that can possibly be right and that everyone who doesn't follow it must just be rebelling against it. Yeah, that's the epitome of arrogance.

That is not always true, people like that are arrogant.

What's not true?

If you have a different religion, its only because your rebellious

Ah yes..

I get that alot just because im not Christian, but whatever
Oh! and before i forget i love your profile pic. ^_^

I get it, too. And thank you. :D

No one has told me that I'm agnostic out of a rebellious nature.

Than again, few have ever asked or commented upon my religion.

People say that im just trying to be "cool" or trying to get attention... When they say that im rebellious i tell them HELL YES I AM! Why would i obey god or the holy bible? God and the holy bible makes me sick. That is why i worship Satan :D

Um which denomination are you? Obviously not LaVeyan, such as I. Setian, Luciferian, Theistic, etc?

Theistic
I researched about Satanism (LaVeyan) in high school and i was very interested in it. I need to read the books that Anton LaVey wrote.

you gotta be free to be who you are, if you ever gonna find u......have no idea what your thing is, but when the word Satin is in the conversation, u gotta know its going to 'freak' some people out

Well they need to get over it and learn about the religion before they make assumptions. We don't even believe in god or Satan.

relationships work when we just accept people......and all hell breaks out when we start shaking our finger at someone

Point taken.

They have and I find it sad and pathetic on their part. Most people who say that do so because the idea of thinking for yourself is strange for them.

I initially bought AMD because I was sick of the negative role intel was playing in the computer semiconductor and processor market.

After a while through coincidence AMD started to really pay off. Sure they're still #2 in the game but they have a long term plan that intel will eventually crumble to.

What the hell?

Desktop gaming computers are my religion.

Ah um okay...

Lavey's Bible is cool minus the theatrics which wear thin after a while. I have it in hard cover and the general philosophy is pretty sweet.

I pray to science you see the error in your ways. Praise be to Darwin, amen.

You are aware LaVeyan Satanists are Atheistic, right?

I wasn't, but I am now. I honestly just thought it was funny :)

If someone asked me to imagine what the founder of the Church of Satan looked like, I would imagine the photograph of LaVey on wikipedia. He also gets extra cool points for having a ball python.

Haha it's fine, people usually don't know there are several denominations, all different. XD

Being a "rebel" can last a lifetime. That's not such a bad thing.

I wouldn't say just arrogant but more like arrogant prejudiced pricks lol.

Because they're making a direct judgment against me when they have no idea what my beliefs actually are or to what extent. Many of them hate religion so they'll make any excuse to diss it and the people who do actually have a religion. I'm a Christian and I get dissed all the time. Fine with me. They can bring it on. Because they're no better than the people they point fingers at. I'm not perfect in any way, but I'm sure not going to attack somebody for not having a religion or not believing in God. I'll stand up for my convictions, but I won't mistreat others in doing so.

they don't like the idea that there could be anything but their 'truth' would be my guess.
