I would rather burn my money then ever go to church or donate a cent to a child molesting religion aka Christianity.

When i was younger was forced to go to church but then i grew up and learned to think for myself. All throughout catholic HS they hounded my family for more money so i say and will never think twice about it.

True, but so many people give their hard earned money away to the church.

It's pretty pathetic.

The Pastor is on his private jet laughing at them all!!!

Well catholics are a little different story. For example Mel Gibson is catholic...look at his little tyraid last week. After all he hates Jews, and Jews were originally Gods chosen people. Catholocism has strayed alot from its inception in Rome 2000+ years ago. One of the most corrupt organization if you ask me.

Um...steroids are for insecure people. Everyone is insecure about something, but please explain your reasoning.

Ok wanna know a bit more?? here goes....

My church (www.churchofsatan.com) has goals, five actually.... and in a nutshell I'll explain the 1st three, which I think are the most important anyway.

1-Stratification: Stop equality, as it supports the weak at the expense of the strong. Water must be allowed to seek its own level without interference from apologists for incompetence. No one should be protected from the effects of his own stupidity.


2-Strict Taxation of All Churches : If churches were taxed for all their income and property, they'd crumble overnight of their own obsolescence, and the National Debt would be wiped out as quickly. The productive, the creative, the resourceful should be subsidized. So long as the useless and incompetent are getting paid, they should be heavily taxed.

3-No Tolerance for Religious Beliefs Secularized and Incorporated into Law and Order Issues: To re-establish "Lex Talionis" would require a complete overturning of the present in-justice system based on Judeo-Christian ideals, where the victim/defender has been made the criminal. Amnesty should be considered for anyone in prison because of his alleged "influence" upon the actual perpetrator of the crime. Everyone is influenced in what he or she does. Scapegoating has become a way of life, a means of survival for the unfit. As an extension of the Judeo-Christian cop-out of blaming the Devil for everything, criminals can gain leniency, even praise, by placing the blame on a convenient villain. Following the Satanic creed of "Responsibility to the responsible," in a Satanic society, everyone must experience the consequences of his own actions - for good or ill.


These are the 3 most important goals of Satanism and what we're trying to do actually...and ofcourse pissing off all the religious fronts.

The symbol in my avy is used for religious affiliation and the 3 downward points symbolize the rejection of the holy trinity or the 3 "holy" religions..

Lived up to my rep now??

[Alex2]

I don't go.

I can definately see why you think that... Everytime you turn on the T.V. there is some currupt evangelist asking for money and everything else. For example Benny Henn, Pat Robertson, Gerry Faliwell... all millionaires. They have been corrupted by money. They lost sight of the reason they got into ministry. Jesus, the man they are supposed to model their life after, was poor. Poor because he dedicated his life to preaching to prostitues, tax collectors and criminals. Never once did he condemn any of those people. The only ones he condemned was the High Preists who were quick to judge people and slow to realize their own faults. The high priest from the Bible that Jesus condemned are just like the evangelist that you all see and thats what makes you think Christianity is so bad. The people that make you hate Christianity so much are the same type of people that Jesus condemned in the Bible.

Which is why this is a damn good Idea

[Samson7]

Right...I have never heard of Christians saying that one should not be responsible for his actions. I am a Christian and I think that all should be held accountable for his actions.

I thought Satanism is more a philosophical movement than a religion! At least I'm not aware of any country that recognizes Satanism officially as religion.

I was going to post but I don't like the direction this thread is going. If this is going to turn into religion bashing close it now!

oops you posted

Ya but not all Churches are Giant money makers...most in fact barely make ends meet. There is only a small percentage of churches that make big money like that. Many of the big churches have been corrupted by money, but there also some that have not. One of the principle stressed by Jesus in the Bible was it will be easier for a camel to fit through an eye of a needle than it will be for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. That is why there is so much coruption. That is also why Jesus lived his life in poverty.

You sounded like you were about to cry because they made you go to church

[stunner5000pt]

usually i feign homework or assignment or even sickness to avoid going to church

it is the single most boring thing i m forced to do

[Carlos_E]

oops you posted

I was going to post my religion. You know what I meant. But why bother if this is going to be religion bashing.

[audis4]

I'm a proud christian....rather than church, my family gets together (usually on a saturday) and spend time together as a family.

Exactly! Church isnt going to a boring building every week. Church is a community of people that believe the same as you. Whether it be family, friends, or actually going to a church house. It is just a time when you are to worship God and give thanks for your salvation. Poeple who dont know what its about tend to be harsh on christians because all they see is the negative, because negative is what always makes the news.

[ngreen23]

Yes. practicing catholic

[IronFreakX]

It is a religion, wether it's registered or not I dont know, but the church of satan was established in 1966 in San Francisco.

I don't care if it's registered or not anyway, I dont need a paper from a gov telling me what's a religion and whats not.

So why not tax em

[Samson7]

So why not tax em

You should not want to tax them because if you tax them that ties in church and state, and they are getting rid of the separation of shurch and state which would make it legal to bring Christianity as into public schools, politics and everything else.
