I agree with a lot of the philosophy inasmuch as it overlaps with Objectivism and Natural Law, but COS Satanists always seem so angry to me. If you've shaken off the BS of Judeo Christian sentimentality and religion in general, that would seem to be a reason for a happier face.

@TreachMarkets - I think there is a lot of humor through the lecture, and a lot of anger. This is a lecture though, and not a scene from my daily life, so it shouldn't be seen to reflect my daily attitude per se. That said, if you see part 8 "A Few Unkind Words", you'll see a source of frustration and anger with the fake piety and the blind trust people put into "good people".

If you continue to Part 9, you might be surprised at the ending of the lecture.

You no that doesn't really make sense coming from you considering that you claim to worship the Devil, didn't his life's story come from the scriptures,

[UnderworldAmusements]

@MrBingie you didn't actually watch the video, did you. But yet you're so quick to comment and tell me what I claim.

At what point in the video do I "claim to worship the devil"?

[MrBingie]

In scripture it even says that Satan knows that his time is short. And that God knows everything from beginning to end and Satan's fate already has been sealed. If your curious want know about these things should read chapter 24 in the Gospel according to Matthew and chapter 20 in Revelations of the Bible it foretells what will happen to him and to those that worship him.

@MrBingie - bedtime stories? I'd rather something by Roald Dahl please.

"Satanism does not reconcile general relativity and quantum mechanics but it never claimed to either."

Indeed. I would however, love for someone of your tact and knack for dissertation to open said proverbial can of worms. A metaphysical discourse filtered through a carnal-lensed epistemology would prove quite the joyride. (Oh, I can just feel me own brain cells effervescing!) Great series throughout!

@TreachMarkets But how many have you really met? It's not like we go around with signs on us. My peers would say I'm a very kind, optimistic person. Optimistic to a fault in some ways. In a way, anger is there but it comes from the necessary dealings with stupid people that life is filled with. But overall, I have found my fellow Satanists to be quite nice.

@MrBingie Satanists do not worship. Wrong tree, bud, And you are barking at it.
