now the point is to weed through the fog and discuss what the religion is about (ie. quote from the bible not opinions) or what they support. I very easily posted the words from LaVey stating it is a religion about self worship; even though you think it deals w/ Devil Worship. That is how a discussion works, on educated questions and answers; not general statements or assumptions.

Very well said, but which statements are the ones you are saying he is generalizing? We've clarified now that you aren't saying ALL of them, so which ones then?




It is different from me saying that "50% of christians can't explain anything other than ITS IN THE BIBLE"... i for one am not making general statment about the entire religion but acknowledging that there is a problem w/ in the religion.
That is the first time in which you have remotely acknowledged that the religion as a whole is not the problem. All of your previous statements made it seem like you were making blanket statements. I'm serious. That's why I've kept telling you guys that maybe yall went to the wrong church or maybe summized by watching the vast majority of the fools on TV that "say" they are good Christian people when all they are is scammers.

I agree with you that there are hypocrites and liars and thieves in every religion. But my contention has always been that they are part of the minority and far from the majority. Therefore it is unfair to classify every Christian under the same umbrella of deception.

The same thing goes for the Bible. There may be things or people in the Bible that are questioned via Scientific proof. Fine. But that doesn't take away from the basic message of that particular passage. Was Jesus born on Dec. 25th? Not sure, but I am sure that the fact that he WAS born at all is far more important.

That also applies to the Satanist and their movement. It's not as important, atleast to me, that some are more extreme than others as is the fact they have an ideology that is 180 degrees of mine. That by itself is enough for me to decide that's not something I want to be in. If they kill a calf in the name of Satan or they are blasphemous towards God, is more important to me than if they killed 2.3 calves and only said bad things about God 3.5 times. That's semantic...details.....but the main picture still remains the same. To me, they are wrong because of their general belief system. Are they cool people to hang with? Are they nice people? Are they cute or ugly? Again, all those are details of the bigger picture.
