A true story of ONE of the many reasons I HATE the Catholic Church...

Oh bullshit...the last bible I read was the Satanic Bible (Lavey Satanism). I am not a Satanist BUT do investigate and research other religion. Its curious to me what people find so fascinating about "gods"...Lavey is more about lifestyle and he used "Satan" because it was the anti...

Prologue[edit]

The prologue to The Satanic Bible begins by discussing the concept of gods, good and evil, and human nature. It includes the Nine Satanic Statements:


1.Satan represents indulgence, instead of abstinence!
2.Satan represents vital existence, instead of spiritual pipe dreams!
3.Satan represents undefiled wisdom, instead of hypocritical self-deceit!
4.Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it, instead of love wasted on ingrates!
5.Satan represents vengeance, instead of turning the other cheek!
6.Satan represents responsibility to the responsible, instead of concern for psychic vampires!
7.Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all-fours, who, because of his "divine spiritual and intellectual development," has become the most vicious animal of all!
8.Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!
9.Satan has been the best friend the church has ever had, as he has kept it in business all these years![42]

A lot of what he said probably made the MOST sense out of any main stream religion...

I stopped going to cath church and all churches after an arguement about my lack of contributions. My response was "If the Lord is all seeing and all knowing,he knows i can barely eat sometimes and with all that power of the Heavens, he dos`nt want or need my money nor do i need to pay you to make sure my prayers are heard in Heaven. He can hear me pray where ever i am and knows whats in my heart and how i treat others. Still pray and still believe.

OP (and other atheists),

Do you think atheism is right and everyone else is wrong?

don't listen to those that are trying to say the bible is catholic. It isn't.

I don't care what fictional caveman wrote the bible or any of its teachings....I do know one thing though...and its proven....Religion IS failing...All of it...

It's always about money.

I have read the satanic bible, aliester Crowley. In the end do whatever you want to do is the only rule they really have, and that's not even a rule, their main thing is just lawlessness.

If you are not Christian, you are some degree of their religion for better or worse and If you indulge in that, you just killing your soul.

You have to get bright enough to be graced with the spirit. If you could stop thinking bad stuff for just a little bit and give up indulgence and gratification, you will find a new world of being, you will see stuff in the bible you never seen.

The bible was composed by many people and put together with the inspiration of God behind it,

The fact is that I am Atheist and not saying I'm right...you see I believe in nothing...and not saying anyone whom believes in anything is right or wrong...I believe ALL organized religions are in fact bullshit.

Can you tell me how your belief that all organized religions are wrong is different from them saying other religions are wrong?

Ok then...which one is right?...You all clash or ride off separate on stories based upon a chapter...Well who is right? You all kill each other and yourselves for nothing. I have no fear from a vengeful god when I die...how about you?

All I'm getting at is that the common charge, "they think they're right and everyone else is wrong", is something even atheists do, or they wouldn't be atheists.

I have no fear of God because I honor him as my creator. I chose the Christian God because Jesus rose from the dead. I am convinced that there is more than adequate historical evidence to support this fact, such that if I reject it then I must also reject everything else in history that I didn't personally witness.

And I believe the God you hate is not the God of the Bible; you're burning a straw man.

But really, I'm not here to convince you I'm right; I'm here to point out that atheists are guilty of many of the faults they cite for theists. That's all.

Well..at least you toned your arrogance dowm a bit.

You didnt even threaten hell and say LOL at the end like you generally do.

Huh? I don't do that. You must have me confused with someone else.

he came as a lamb last time.

This time he will come like a lion.

Those that are against him are going to be crapping them self. And that's an understatement.

I think you have somewhat of a misunderstanding..."behind on her dues"? No such thing exists. There isnt a specific amount of "dues" required EVER. There is "tithing" which of course is giving money to the ushers to go towards the church, but number one, this isnt technically "required" and number two its not enforced.

And what about those who never even heard of him?

They going to be killed and tortured as well???

Yes I did.

Sorry.

I was thinking of that Irish idiot.

But still..ive seen some of your posts in other threads in the past and you do seem to have mellowed somewhat in the last week or two.

So..what sofetened you?

Find me one person on the internet, or one person that can speak English, that doesn't know what the Holy bible is.

Find me a human adult on planet earth that has never encountered the holy bible before.
