The God Delusion-Richard Dawkins

[BKgen®]

I've always found Satanism to be extremely interesting. If I had to align myself with a religion philosophically Satanism would honestly be the closest match. I mean there's some weird fucking shit running around in some Satanic ideology (i.e. the magic stuff, I mean really?) but the basic ideas seem to make MUCH more sense than believing in the Christian God and "his" values.

no offense, but how can one believe in Satan but not in God? They're both part of the Christian religion, correct...?

nobody said they believe in satan. they're talking about the institution of "satanism" in and of itself, and the doctrines thereof (which were just listed) have nothing to do with the biblical antagonist satan figure.

just wondering. because to acknowledge the existence of Satan, but not God (in a biblical sense) is a bit of a contradiction. a lot of a contradiction.
