Well something about these quotes really disturbs me...\n\n"Over one million people worship the devil as a religion."  Really?  Prove it.  I want to see where you got your IMPARTIAL information.\n\n"Anyone who does not believe in God is a sinner and rebuked God when they heard the good news."  So this is what you are saying.  Before you tell these people about your god they are safe because your god is not known to them.  If, however; you tell them about your god and they refuse to believe your "good news of the lord" they are condemned to hell.  Why tell them in the first d@amned place then if you know they are going to go to hell for refusing your god!?\n\n"Lives we can never change"....yeah? tell that the people you just condemned to hell for refusing to believe in your god.\n\n..."and we have an understanding of what is good and bad in our conscience."  Well let me see, you just told a bunch of people who were enjoying their lives without your god and who were safe from the wrath of your god until you told them about your god by condemning them to hell for refusing to believe in your god. How is telling people who don't know your god a good thing again please?\n\n"we all have a sense of survivl instinct."  It's spelled S-U-R-V-I-V-A-L, you idiot. \n\n"Yes things in our culture have been disintergrated because of simple minded people not knowing the facts before they say or do things before the think"...welcome to the Disintegration Club, genius.\n\n==============\n\n...and then there's this one...\n\n==============\n\n“HELLO! "thou shalt not suffer a witch to live...."\n\n"I'M NOT SAYING KILL ALL THE WITCHES.....what I AM saying is God does not approve of witchcraft...”  { Rather than me going off here I think I will just dust off something that Fiona Broome wrote and place it here regarding that little statement}: \n\nThou shalt not suffer a witch to live...? \nedited by Fiona Broome\n\nPeople often ask about the famous line in the Bible, "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." (Exodus 22:18) \n\nIt's important to do your own research. However, here's what I've found so far: \n\nJames I was notorious for being paranoid about witches, spells, and so on. This was, in part, due to volatile politics of the time. He had good reason to be nervous. \n\n"His" Bible (the King James Bible) was translated to keep Jamie-boy happy, so they translated the word chasaph--which is Hebrew for poisoner (or, in other contexts, herbalist)-- to mean "witch" instead. \n\nThe real Biblical passage was about the disturbing crime of poisoning in the Jewish community. When that line was originally written, there may have been recent poisonings. Some historians point to this. \n\nHere's an early document, written around 1580 at the time of King James I, protesting the translation of chasaph as "witch." \n\n(And when goode King James discovered what Reginald Scot had said in this book, James first wrote his own book, Daemonologie, a rebuttal to Scot's. Then James ordered his men to find every copy of Scot's book and burn them. It \nwas too late. The Scot book was already in its third printing, widely distributed, and nine more chapters had been added.)\n\n  \nFrom The Discoverie of Witchcraft by Reginald Scot. \n  \nBOOKE VI \n  \nChapter I - The exposition of this Hebrue word Chasaph, wherein is answered the objection conteined in Exodus 22. to wit: Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live, and of Simon Magus. Acts. 8. \n  \n(page 64) Chaspah, being a Hebrue word, is Latined Veneficium, and  is in English, poisoning, or witchcraft; if you will so have it. The Hebrue sentence written in Exodus, 22. is by the 70. interpretors translated thus \n  into Greeke, [note: I'll fill this in when I have a Greek font and more time], which in Latine is, \n  \n\n  Veneficos (sive) veneficas non

oh yeah sure let's all hold hands and sing kumbaya..\n\nlet's all just LO-O-Ove one another right now..\n\nC'mon people, smile on your brothers, everybody get together...\n\nLet's all go to San Fransheesco with flowers in our hair.\n\nDid it ever occur to you people that the people call us the Great Satan for a reason, because they view everything about our way of life as evil and contrary to the teachings of our faith?? Did it ever occur to you people that if Israel didnt exist they'd still call us the great Satan? Did it ever occur to you people that muslim extremists are the ones killing people since 1970 and continue to do so?

Hmmm. Hi. Perhaps my perception on things hasn't been explained clearly enough. I apologize for that. Here is, in short, what I do and don't believe:\n\nThere is no such thing as a god. To me, the concept of the existence of a deity (besides being unproved and absurd) is just that- a concept. And a misleading one, at that. To me, it's a lie.\n\nI do not worship the christian devil. Hell, I do not even believe in it! To me, Satan is a reflection of humanity. You are your own god, and are free to accept it or not. Satan is not an entity, it's a force, it's in us. It's our vital force.\n\nHave fun, and be tolerant.\n\nBy the way, when I say Satan's spawn, it doesn't mean I believe I am the child of your devil, it means I am the Satan, as it is in me. It's sometimes also meant to shock. Depends.\n\nHappy, now?

Personally, I feel that organized religion is dangerous. As well-meaning as people can be, any church organization becomes a bit cult-ish at one point or another. It's very easy to become the victim of blind faith, and even easier to lose yourself. My beliefs lie within the universe and nothing else. I pray, but I don't need any church or pastor/minister whathaveyou to direct my life in an uncomfortable way. Some people may need the structure, but it can also be very damaging. It all depends on who you are.

Male, and normaly, I don't pray, just talk to Him... Used to be catholic, but I no longer believe in organized religion and   I am now interested in Deism. I used to be catholic, but I refuse to believe that God's love is conditional and that he has the time to punish us individually for our sins, so I guess I have my own little religion right now.

The "hell" is a christian concept.  I was a christian for many years.  In my desire to become more enlightened I find that I'm more spiritual than religious.  I've looked into some pagan religions.  The idea is about finding peace and a spiritual path. (I would like that for all of us)

They have been brainwashed with the masses to belive that their beliefs are the only way. its sad really. i have some EX inlaws that will scream verses at you till their blue in the face trying to get you to agree with them. I like what a friend once told me_organized religion is for those who are afraid of going to hell and spirituality is for those who have already been there. I have no problem with any religion really. we all have our own beliefs and i will respect your religion for what it means to you and i expect you to respect my beliefs for what they are to me.If you want to go spread the word then please go spread it over there. I am not ignorant i already know what the word is and don't need another lesson and i will not debate religion with anybody cause that would take a life time.

No real goths are Satanists, the two outlooks just don't mesh.  You can't think be sensitive and artistic while purposely offending people.  It just doesn't work.  To answer your question, the problem are the pseudo-goths (aka Mansonites) who claim to be goth and Satanists.  Since there are ten of those fakers for every real goth, how goths really are gets ignored.

Why is this posted in a religion board? What group are you talking about? We can't really give you an answer if you haven't fully asked the question.

What country you live in????\nGreat to discover, your fellow citizens don't believe in a so called "God" or "Other Gods".\nI'm glad I'm not the only one on this planert who's a non-believer.\nIn my country (i.e. Belgium), we have almost every kind of religion.

When was the last time a Buddhist knocked on your door, interrupted you in what you were doing, and in an obnoxious way tried to share their faith? When was the last time a Muslim approached you on the street and tried to embarrass you into accepting literature pertaining to their faith? When was the last time a Taoist walked into your buisness, sat down in a chair reserved for paying clients, and procceded to quiz you on your beliefs in an attempt to convert you? When was the last time your phone rang and, leaving your meal to get cold, you answered it only to hear a plea for money from a Wiccan so that their coven could add you to the supporters of their building fund? I tolerate Christians. But I refuse to allow them to trespass on MY RIGHTS!!! IF YOU CONSIDER THAT INTOLERANT ON MY PART PERHAPS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER THIS ... Show me your faith by your living it. If I like what I see maybe I'll ask you how to get what you've got. Other wise ... RESPECT MY SPACE AS I RESPECT YOURS!!! Its as simple as this ... For hundreds of years Christians, some at least, have had the upper hand in things like numbers, politics, etc. NOW that's changing. Others refuse to put up with it any longer, and rightly so. I've said it before, and now I'll share it with you ... The shoes not all that comfortable when its on the other foot, is it? I'm just glad that not all Christians fall into the above catagories. Those are the ones I listen to ... As, in their own quiet way, they live their truth. They have my attention. They others? Well, I tolerate them. You probably think yourself persecuted. I ask you this ... How many times, and how much, blood have you lost due to your faith? How many times have you been beaten because you're a Christian? Never, I'll wager. But someone tells you to back off and you consider yourself ill used. I got news for you. Untill the 1970s MY FAITH WAS ILLEGAL TO PRACTICE IN THE U.S.! (And it wasn't because of any thing like animal sacrifice, or stuff like that either. It was because my people were second class citizens at best, and no one cared one way or the other what we believed.)Know what I learned from that? I learned to be tolerant. You might like to take a hint. ~~~ P.S. One of the posts above speakes of Paul's having taught Christians to be tolerant. Its taken out of context. Paul was admonishing his followers to be tolerant of one another. It has nothing to do with those outside the Christian community. It pertains only to Christians themselves. It has nothing to do with whats going on now, and it doesn't honestly touch on the topic at hand. And the "new" tolerance? Kinda easy to make up a concept that covers your rear, one that no one else has ever even heard of. But, hey, it sounds good ... Untill you THINK about it. And one person apologizing for the actions of others? No. That doesn't wash. That's not your right. Its unacceptable. You take responsibility for your own actions. That's cool. I promise not to say I'm sorry for what happened at Little Big Horn in return.

I just wanted to say Yay to the previous poster pointing out the truth on Satanists. I am also not a Satanists, but read up on it. It is misunderstood beyond belief. I wanted to post something similar myself, but they handled it. \n\nHowever, I will add I was also wondering if you meant a true Satanist, or possibly a pagan religion since I know most Christians consider those evil as well. In which case, I also say learn more about it before you judge. Stop being so judgemental and learn about what your husband is doing. Doesn't mean you have to convert or going to hell just because you find out what interests your husband. \n\nFrom another view point though, is he practicing true Satanism where he does not practice animal sacrificing or such? Or is he just calling himself that and honestly being stupid with it, like playing with dark magic, talking about killing, drinking blood, etc. You know the stereotypical Satanist activities that they don't really do? Some ignorant people do that still and call themselves Satanist. In that case, I would say he is an idiot and possibly consider getting him help or leaving personally and I am not even a Christian because, yes, I still have morals and I find it disturbing. But again, these people are NOT true Satanists anyway, they are just using the name because they are ignorant and uninformed. \n\nIn all honesty, it comes down to how you feel. If after trying to work through this, it just does not work, and it upsets you to the point of giving you problems, then why stay? Even though it is nothing you should worry about, your comfort in life is still important. I hope your husband could respect it enough to help you through this, and not push it into your face, but if he doesn't, then that is a reason to leave all on its own. He should respect you and take it slow, letting you learn that he is not turning evil on you. But it all comes down to whether or not this is something you can live with. I always say that as long as you love the person, any problem can be worked through if you try. Once the love is gone, that is the only time you should give up.\n\nI could seriously write a book on this stuff LOL Sorry, I just love learning about all religions.

Satanism is a complex religion, there are many types of Satanism as far as I know. But my experience is kind of limited with them. \nI would suggest that you try to find others who share your beliefs. www.churchofsatan.com can be a good starting place if you are into LaVey's type of Satanism. \nNow, I assume you know what Satanism is, and that you are serious about it. If, on the other hand,  you are just looking for general information about it, then http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanism and http://www.religioustolerance.org/satanism.htm are good starting points.
