You Ok there Lack-Luster..? I'm 18, just like you! *waves*

by the way, there are LOOOOAADS of smileys you can use like this one to express all the necessary angst...just click on any one you see, and you end up on the smileys page! Which has codes and thingys to help you learn how to do lots of different ones!

hehe... sorry i didn't see this sooner... *grin*

hehe. i'm anti-smileys. always have been... probably always will. i enjoy creating fun ways to express myself with text.

hehe *tips cap*

peace.

yeah, i was actually at your web site the other day after following a link from another thread...

so, if you are a Satanist... and it's not a religion... how do you define satanism?

peace.

You can't be anti-smiley!! Not on here!!! That's insulting!!!



How do I define Satanism? Why does everyone want to know that? There is a guide entry around here on it...although it's only the original roots to it...go find it!

suuuureeee... make me go do the work.... hahaha.

peace.

Well if you *really* want to know, you'll go find it...

Was that you that emailed me by the way?

...i don't think so... if i did i must have been 90% asleep because i sure don't remember doing so.

yeah, i foud that guide entry about it... so basically you're athiest and just live for yourself... whatever brings you pleasure?

peace.

*has just remembered who sent the email*

Oops. Sorry.

Ummm...in crude terms, yep. But I wouldn't describe that. The thing about Satanism is...think of it like a lump of clay. Every Satanist gets this lump of clay. It's made of the same materials, and looks/smells/tastes the same, but it's up to the individual what they do with it and what they believe it to be. Whereas with Christians, they get given the lump of clay already made, with a rule book on how to put the thing in the kilm, and pictures of what it will look like - and there is only one thing ever made.

Does that make sense? I only ever explain it once in a while to people, so count yourself lucky!

hehe. thanks. of course, from the "christian" perspective, it will be the best thing... (though, i think that for every christian it's different, despite the same set of "rules")

if you want me to, though, i could send you an email... i'm all about emails...

peace.

Oh, most people I meet on here turn out to be Christian. Don't worry, I'm not uncomfortable...

You can send me an email if you want! I mean, my address is on my page for that reason! Doesn't bother me really...

really? most people i meet on here seem to be either anti-christian or anti all religion...

hehe.

peace.

No no. There are lots and lots of Christians. Unless you are a fundamentalist, like Justin The Preacher - which you blatently aren't because I haven't had one Bible quote out of you yet...everyone is pretty much accepting. This community is pretty varied - although I'm the only Satanist. But that's how I like it.

well, if it's a Bible quote you want...

John 3:16: For God so love the world that He gave His only Son, that whosoever belives in Him shall not parish, but have everlasting life.

hehe.

peace.

Oh f**k off. Don't provoke me!

*blink*

*cannot tell of the f**k off was sarcasm or not*

*despite the laugh smilies, decides the best course of action would be an appology anyway*

so sorry, m'am.

peace.

T'was sarcasm...



Hence the

so my question is (i'm good at questions, so if you don't like answering them, don't) if Satanism (at least the way you view it) has nothing to do with Satan, why not call it something else? I mean, Satanism has such a bad connotation behind it.

For instance, Scientology is fairly simular... and it's very elite... that would be much nicer...

peace.

It has everything to do with Satan! In short form, Satan is a demonised form of a few old characters - Pan being the main one. There are a million stories, that through the ages provided the backlog to what is now considered Satan. None of which are *evil*...just pagan, or rebellion ahainst God/the god(s)...there are links to the Prometheus myth as well. It basically comes down to true rebellion; turning your back on everything you have been told is right, and choosing for yourself. Not to be harsh, but as a Christian, you are dictated to and you accept it as truth - no matter which truth you accept.

Now, Satanists may/may not believe in God, but we all believe in the magic of chosen reality. That is, stories can be reality if you want it to be. Just because it isn't real, it doesn't mean to say it isn't there. The term Satanism, comes from the fact that Satan, to a Satanist, is the chosen parton. Not saint, or God, or deity, but a nice little symbol to put on our t-shirts. Humans respond to that kind of thing.

Also, people are immediately interested when the word comes up. It provokes. Provoked you. Provoked me into finding out what it was...

interesting... *strokes beard thoughtfully*

so tell me... what do you enjoy? lets start with music because that is my main interest...

peace.

I genuinely do *like everything*. But I can't *afford everything* so I keep my spending down to alternative/rock/industrial/metal stuff. But I like classical/atmospheric stuff, individuals like Bjork (who is as close to perfection as any musicain can get methinks), a little of folky-rock, jazz/bluesy style. But metal/rock/industrial is my core All the rest (with the exception of Bjork) is passed over with a glance and nothing more.

How about you?

And do you really have a beard?
