Weakness in the guise of religion...

[Mister_Six]

I really don't need to elaborate too much on this topic but we've all noticed a trend with the xtians. When the going gets tough they cry for god instead of relying on their own strength. Does this speak of anything positive in these people's character? Why can't they just accept that sometimes life gets real shitty and they have to pick themselves up by their boot straps? I agree that faith is intrinsic to these types but we as satanists or of a satanic mind frame have to stand on our own 2 feet dredging through the depths of hell and back. This is why we are the god's of our own subjective universe. We alone exact change in our own lives instead of crying or begging of someone we cannot even see. It's fucking pathetic people!

On a related but side note... what about all these criminals and serial killers becoming spokesmen for religious thought? Why is it that every con gets locked up and immediately goes to god and church for help? They teach child molesters that they are possessed by demons! Giving them excuses for their behavior! Yeah like god wants you to steal his gold cadillac in heaven and cruise around in it selling drugs to kids! If there is a god, how tolerant do you really think he'd be to scum bags like these?

Let us not forget that God was a mean SOB in the old testament. He ruined sodom and gomorrah, or however the fuck you spell that, lol!

This quote nicely sums up the O.T.god:
"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully." - Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion

In regards to the main point, Satanists are a breed apart. You have to allow for that. The average person will reach out to "god" when the chips are down. People are just hardwired that way.There's an old saying, "When there's nothing else, there is god". That's what the herd does because that's what the herd does.

Right now, the good ole economy got me. However, I am in great shape, lost 10 pounds, but eating good. My blood pressure is just about, or right at "Normal". And I feel good. I would like steady work again, but hey, I feel good, am in a good mood, sex life isn't good, but working on that. Do I need to pray to anything, thank anything? Nope, doing good on my own, thank you very much.

Those that feel the need to ask for something, yet give nothing in return are weak...plain and simple. You work for it, or you don't get it.
