Why aren't you a Satanist?
[quote][u]The 7 fundamental tenets of the Satanic Temple:[/u]
One should strive to act with compassion and empathy towards all creatures in accordance with reason.
The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo your own.
Beliefs should conform to our best scientific understanding of the world. We should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit our beliefs.
People are fallible. If we make a mistake, we should do our best to rectify it and resolve any harm that may have been caused.
Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word[/quote]
These seem like things everyone could get behind.

Because I don't need a religion to believe in proper morals and basic human rights.

To boring, I’m lazy, and those two facts were the most amount of effort I’ve put into anything this week.

Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked. Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them. When in another's lair, show them respect or else do not go there. If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat them cruelly and without mercy. Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal. Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and they cry out to be relieved. Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained. Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself. Do not harm little children. Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food. When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask them to stop. If they do not stop, destroy them.

[quote][u]The 7 fundamental tenets of the Satanic Temple:[/u] One should strive to act with compassion and empathy towards all creatures in accordance with reason.[/quote] Reason is subjectively and vaguely expressed here. [quote]The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.[/quote] Justice is subjectively and vaguely expressed here. [quote]One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.[/quote] False. You have no free will under the influence. Also, most, like yourself, are incapable of consistently denying their appetites. [quote]The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo your own.[/quote] No mention of responsibility. Satan and his followers are immature weebs. [quote]Beliefs should conform to our best scientific understanding of the world. We should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit our beliefs.[/quote] True science is agnostic. Worldview is based upon belief and personal experiences. [quote]People are fallible. If we make a mistake, we should do our best to rectify it and resolve any harm that may have been caused.[/quote] Well you, Max, certainly fall short of this. Still waiting for you to grow some intellectual honesty. [quote]Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought.[/quote] I’ve yet to read any noble tenet. [quote]The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word[/quote] What Spirit? There’s no scientific evidence of any immaterial spirit. What written or spoken word? You’ve just contradicted yourself: these tenets are written. Compassion, wisdom, and justice have all been vaguely and subjectively described. [quote]These seem like things everyone could get behind.[/quote] Such low pathetic standards...

1 ReplySo it's basically a really edgy way of saying you're an Atheist? [spoiler]Jk. This actually looks pretty interesting. I might actually end up identifying as a Satanist now.[/spoiler]

Edited by Stickman Al: 10/18/2017 6:10:31 PMBecause it makes you sound like a right bell end. Not you as in Max, I mean in the general sense if 'you'.

I'll stick to being a Druid/Pagan. Although I do know that there are difference between Satanist who don't believe in the Christian God/Devil religions and devil worshipers.

1 ReplyOne can adhere to those principles without pledging themselves to a religion.

3 RepliesIf you believe in Satan then you have to believe in God. With that said, Satan is out to destroy you to get back at God. Why would you believe anything that Satan or a Satanist would tell you?
-
1 ReplyBecause I know better than to live under silly labels to try and justify my existence. There are a few that are unavoidably true. But just because you believe in fair treatment for all doesn't make you a satanist, a feminist, a pro choice/pro life or whatever stupid asinine name people like to give you to try and force you into their groups so that they can feel special. It also helps avoid the no true Scotsman situation.
