TO ACCEPT JESUS INTO YOUR LIFE SAY THIS PRAYER WITH FAITH :) Lord God. I come to You a sinner and I humbly repent of my sins. I believe that Jesus is Lord and I believe You raised Him from the dead. I ask that Jesus will come into my life and be my Lord and Savior. I receive Jesus to change and take control of my life that I may live for Him from this day forth and from now on. Thank You Lord Jesus for saving me and cleansing me with Your precious blood. In Jesus name, Amen.
I find it funny that when I was religious I cared about people and now that I reject religion and despise Christian dogma, I still care for people. I realize now not everyone needs to be cared for, though. Some are disgusting and vile. That's a pretty big part of humanity. :(
Dude, if that is truly your idea of religion and church, and you're not trying to yank our chain, I feel sorry for you. You don't need a church to have God. If you are basing your faith on the behaviour of a man made group/organization and the members thereof, you need to reexamine God and religion. As to Satanism, Satan is a Christian concept - if you are a "satanist" you are actually a participant in Christianity, because there cannot be Satan w/o God. It's a yin yang thing. Try again....
Whether you're part of a community or not, people are still gonna look at you as a crazy fucker no matter what you are xD
It's good to have your own foundations. I've only recently thought to myself ... Why do I care what other people think about me? Can they hurt me? No. Would I care if they did? No. Do I want to impress them? Nope.
Whether I'm the only Satanist in my area or part of a community, I don't need other people to make me feel secure or make me feel like I'm right.There's my opinion.
@RyanAndrewDickson Have you watched my videos? I express my conviction through these videos, so my beliefs relative to Christianity, Catholicism, and Satanism are there for anyone who is curious to discern for themselves. What does satisfying your curiosity do for me?
@RyanAndrewDickson First, if you are going to remove your comments, I will discontinue responding. Second, as I asked in response to your original comment, what do you mean by "God"? Third, why are you asking?
@RyanAndrewDickson I'll bite. In order to answer your question, I need more information. Could you define for me what you mean by "God", as well as "believe".
If you put a group of A players together, they mesh well and inspire each other by bouncing their thoughts off one another. (I miss this, much.)
If you put an A player in a group of B / C players, they get dragged down to the level of B/C players. (see Back Against the Wall video by Cage the Elephant)
If you put a B / C player in a group of A players, the A players see them as an unnecessary bottleneck and attempt to remove them ASAP (see When Worlds Collide video, PM3K.)
@shawnhartnell Actually, now that I think about it, most of PM3K's music is about an A player being dragged down to B / C level. See Action, Theme to a Fake Revolution.
You hit many a nail on the head in this video. Religion, as a term, means "to tie together". Moreso, this synergy becomes hypostatized (e.g. Zion, the Body of Christ, or the Ummah) and becomes a mass vehicle for divine manifestation. With Satanism, though, there are structural problems. I've tried and tried to wrap my head around a pragmatic concept of any sort of unity, but at the end of the day, I don't think it's really possible.
@jason666king I no longer question if unification is possible, but rather why we as Satanist should even pursue unification. How do I, as a Satanist, benefit from uniting Satanists in large numbers under one banner? I think it is a waste of time... time which would be better spent doing my own thing, earning the support of my peers, and if needed working with a small number of equally dedicated and like-minded individuals.
@egodiabolus666 That may be the crux of it for me, "if needed". If an issue loomed on the horizon that was big enough to get the attention and a parallel reaction from the majority of us, then we might be unified in our reaction. Proactively, we are better served by having as many diverse paths of exploration in Satanism, with the most successful expressions rising to the top and the others fading away.
@egodiabolus666 I think the context is important. The general context could just be a crossroads where we meet. More specific contexts would spring from there.
For example, right now I'm speaking from a context of working together to get the organization started -- we simply wouldn't be having this conversation without it.
The organization would facilitate creating useful and productive contexts to interact in which can't be organized in a group of random numbnuts.
@jason666king I'm thinking of unity as a football field. It unifies all the players, but there's two opposing groups. Without the football field, there would be no game and no matter which team wins or loses -- both seem to have no trouble profiting from it.
The part where you were talking about people reaffirm their faith in church reminds me of when I used to be Mormon.
In every sacrament meeting, whoever was slotted to speak would typically bear their testimony with some sort of anecdote.
However, the first Sunday of every month would be what's called fast & testimony meeting. In this meeting there are no slotted speakers. Anybody from the congregation goes up & tells their heart-throbbing tales (including young children).
Deep in your heart you deny what God is and what God represents cause deep deep in your heart you know you do not belong to him.
So keep it up!!

There's a model of kinds of people I heard once. There's A, B, and C players.
A players are the type who take the ball and run with it. They seek to excel.
B players are the type who do just enough to get by and then plop down in front of their TV.
C players are the type who have only one skill : keeping their current position for which they often lack the merit for.
A group of A players interface at a completely different level than B or C.
