Gonna have to go with the same as fenster here, atheist. See, I believe in all of the core philosophies of most religions, such being showing everyone kindness, treating everyone equally, etc. I just find the whole being up above thing hard to believe. But, I'm not an antitheist or anything here, I have no problem with other religions. I would rant, but this isn't the place for it... so yeah.

If anything, I'm a satanist.

I don't believe I should hold back my human emotions.

If I feel lust and want to have intercourse, I'm going to do it.

If I feel hatred towards someone, I'm gonna show it!

Why does a book some old man wrote, trying to tell everyone what to do, have to be something I live by?  It does not.

I'm a Christian, I believe there is God and that even if you aren't a Christian (Jesus, Bible, blah blah), there is good reason to believe that a god exists.

Note to everyone Satanism is not the same as devils worship. If you want to know the difference check out wikipedia because i dont know the details.

Also to Kuberr, The bible is most likely the result of several hundreds years of different religous scripts and texts and composed by many different religous philosophers as the three abraham religions developed.
Just some curiosities :)

Same.


But I want to make it clear that I do not have any feelings of anger towards different religons. I may not agree with what you belive but I will not object to it.

I personally do not subscribe to any of the thousands of gods dreamt up by mankind.  I am an atheist.

Do you believe in the existence of and worship in a being named Satan?  No? Then you're probably not a Satanist.

Now that I'm on lunch I can post on this topic.

I do believe that there is a god. Does he watch over us and depending on how well we behave sent us to heaven or hell? I don't think so but I dont know. Does he even care about this planet any more if he did, or just create say that's cool then make another universe? When we die is there our own personal heaven or the shiny castle in the sky(my least like one) or just nothingness? There is literally infinite possibilties. That's why I am always open to listen to people's ideas and beliefs. For all we know the flying spegetti monster made us.

Common mistake! Although the name seemingly sugests that the worship of satan is part of this religion its not.
Devil worship is a completly different religion. Satanism is named so because it stands for in simple terms egoism and is all about yourself, wich is the opposite of christian values such as "Love thy neighbor" etc.
Not very informed about this but its pretty much what i said. Feel free to correct me :)

I'll just leave these here:

*The God Delusion, by Richard Dawkins*
*A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather than Nothing, by Lawrence Krauss*

Do with them as you will.
Be happy.  Live in peace.

Really?  Well, if I'm mistaken then the name is very misleading.  Why not just go with pure Hedonism?  If it feels good, do it.

I'm not any "religion" or "denomination".
I do believe there is A god; and I am not him.
