An atheist wouldn't really fall under either, as it's more a denial of religion. Atheists believe there is no god, so there is no religion there. They're kinda off in their own group. They're alongside Agnostics. They don't deny the possibility, but at the same time say there is no proof. Satanism is a bit like Atheism, but instead is an actual a religion with practices, holidays, and traditions. I know this because I am Satanic.

Head_Hunter Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Everyone has choices, I wouldn't prefer being satanic, because I value who made me. I serve the most high in my own way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives guidance and humility in a powerless situation. You really can't change your life without embracing spirituality and that has nothing to do with organized religion, although some may even embrace it. Spirituality to me is the energies of nature. I'm definitely reading up more on this program on The 12 steps in Alcoholics how to tackle the addiction because I have a friend who's struggling so much with his own life.

I know this because I am Satanic. This completely answers all doubts that I have on the subject. On the record, I kind of liked the direction this whole talk went as it got to show some of our belief system. I wouldn't have guessed you're Satanic 😉.

People have their head full of misconceptions about Satanism. The word "Satanism" is one of the biggest reasons people make up their own definitions and ignore reality. I'm a member of The Satanic Temple if you want to check it out. The Seven Tenets would be a good place to start. Boblee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, sure thing!! He's been trying to get help but so far nothing seems to be working. I hope this works at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.." if the world embraces that, I'm sure we would live in more harmony.

A man living in the same neighborhood with us used to be a chronic smoker and he was later diagnosed with lung cancer but he never stopped smoking till it killed him.

Head_Hunter Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I really don't know why some smokers are simply due hard when they're advised to stop smoking at the brink of losing their life. It's kinda weird, I wouldn't think twice if I am asked to stop what's injurious to my health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They simply can't help it because if it was that easy for them to stop, they are definitely going to knowing the consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
