For example, Vishnu comes to Earth in a carbon-based form every so often (called an avatar), and aside from Rama, Krishne, and Buddha Gautama, he's also credited with being Jesus Christ (the Piscean avatar)?

*very very very drily* Yes, 137, I would wager that he knows all that. I would also wager that these are some big reasons that he's NOT Hindu. Being as, oh, it would only be about a million times easier to BE Hindu, considering his father's opinions on the entire religion thing. In fact, I might go so far as to say that those things conflict so violently with his personal beliefs that he would rather be disowned than be a part of that religion.

EDIT: So instead, he's Mormon, because that DOES happen to suit his religious beliefs. The fact that the Hare Krishnas are INTERESTING crackpots doesn't make them any less crackpots. I could say the same for a lot of other religions and cultures.

I'm actually Satanist. No, really. I go to a place nearby called Japa, and we worship the Dark Lord. It's really not what you'd think. The old satanist philosophy concentrated on basically being blasphemous to the Christian god. Things have changed very much since then. Not to mention all the bias we normally get. I guess what I'm saying is, give Lucifer a chance.

Annie, dr. steelix is right. It was a blanket "you", directed at Rolken, AnnieKat, and everybody else who read it. Maybe the "y'all" in the sentence before your quote started was supposed to convey that, maybe not. Also, I was saying that if I had to choose a religion, it might be that. I wasn't suggesting that Rolken do so. He already seemed to have made up his mind. Also, I didn't mean at all to belittle Rolken's knowledge of Hinduism, or anything like that.
I think that's everything. How odd that twice this week someone has completely misunderstood a single word in one of my posts, and been moved to write about it. Am I that incomprehensible?

Well, your sig DID say you used acid, and it was super-effective... dude, dropping LSD doesn't tend to lead to coherence...



Sorry, dude.

My understanding of modern Satanism is that it's a libertarian religion with a bias towards hedonism.

God is the great deciever, not Satan. When Satan created the entire universe, everything was good. Everyone was happy. Then one of Satan's angels decided to rally up a group of followers of his own. This other group of angels overthrew Satan, casting him into the depths of Hell and binding him there along with His loyal angels. Thus the Christian god has decieved you all, in that he did not create the world. Some doubt he even could create a universe. If Lucifer hadn't been outnumbered by his own creations, the world would be a perfect place again. This is the base, the core of Satanism.

There is also a great deal of hedonism in Satanism. Following the teachings of the true creator, we seek to indulge in our desires. There's not much ordinary people can do to change the position of even a lowly angel like the Christian god, but we can at least have a little fun doing it. What feels good, is good. See, the Christian god could overthrow Satan (with some help), but he could not change what is intrinsically good about the universe. The powers of a true god are far greater than that. Therefore, we do what we can to preserve this order within the cosmos, to hopefully appease Satan, and (since Christian doctrine obviously won't send us to "heaven"), we will go to "hell", thus being able to help Lucifer in the final bout on Judgement Day. Would thou not want to servest the one who hath created thee? Thought so. You know a bit, veloS, but you shouldn't believe everything you read. And Psybro - you're too smart to argue with. Besides, you're mostly correct.

Thought so... You know, that's what a lot of high-degree masons also believe. That Lucifer is the true God, and Adonai ('my' God, aka Jesus) is the deceiver. In other words, (IMO; by christian believe) the turn God into the bad guy, and satan into the good guy.

I'm very interested in why you believe that Lucifer created the cosmos. Cause we actually believe the same, but with a different d00d running the show.

PS. @ cfalcon: It's La Vey. Anton La Vey. )

EDIT. @ Sonius: I second that.
