ATHEISM vs SATANISM

ATHEISM

Atheism is the mindset that no deities exists and we have to believe in ourselves to get things done. We do not believe in a Heaven, we do not believe in a Hell. We are self sufficient and like taking responsibility for our actions. We do not put the blame on some unseen demonic force or forces. 

SATANISM

I read "The Satanic Bible" by Anton Szandor LaVey and I honestly didn't see any actual difference between Atheism and Satanism, except that they are more violent people. The one rule they follow is, "Hate your enemies with a whole heart, and if a man smite you on one cheek, SMASH him on the other!; smite him hip and thigh, for self-preservation is the highest law!". I mean, obviously, there are atheists that feel this way too, but this is an act straight from anger. From what I can tell, these Satanists, they are more of an "eye for an eye" type of group. So, as I was reading this book/bible, I ended up starting to agree with some of their thinking. Satanists actually believe that you yourself is "God". How great is that! Then I got toward of the end book and let's just say... it got "different".

RITUALS

I was starting to think they were actually Atheists that just titled themselves Satanists to aggravate Theists! I continued reading and about around page 46, the book started talking about performing rituals. Actual witchcraft, let's just say that I became very upset with Mr. LaVey. He did a 180 degree spin from talking about being your own "god" and believing in only yourself and other people, to performing "Magick". I was blown away with the anger behind all of these rituals he mentions. It involves burning things and literal screaming and yelling. In a way, he makes it seem like violence is okay when performing a ritual and then a paragraph later he says that you should commit violence; I'm not exactly sure what he was trying to accomplish.

GETTING IN TOUCH WITH HIGH PRIEST

I think what I can take away from this book/bible, is that he was mad at the world one day and decided to create some "religion" to amplify his feelings towards whoever he was mad at. I didn't know what to think after reading this and tried getting in touch with The Church of Satan. I tried getting a phone number and was ignored. I tried getting in touch with various social media they are on and I was ignored. I received an email back saying to read the FAQ on their website or read their book, which I had both done and none of my questions were answered. I wanted to set up a phone interview but nobody from the organization would give me the time of day. 

WRAPPING UP

In the beginning I wanted to believe that Satanists were the same as Atheists, but towards the end I quickly realized we are nowhere near the same. They still believe in an actually deity, and they still hold services with someone in charge. I don't understand what Anton LaVey was trying to accomplish when he started this "religion", but somehow he got people to worship the "devil" in his own hypocritical way. Religion is a waste of time and it needs to stop brainwashing people. That's all I have for you all today, I will see you all tomorrow 😊

Understanding Atheism!

FIRST OFF!

Being an Atheist does not entail going to meetings where we talk about how to destroy religion and bring back the devil. We, unlike Theists, just look at scientific fact. We think, why would anybody worship something that simply cannot be proven? Science has many theories which haven't yet been 100 percent proven, but the people behind that theory have spent a significant amount of time putting together math equations, and other proven methods to come to the conclusion they have made.

Take for example a black hole, it cannot be physically seen, yet we know for a fact they exist. We know there have been math equations behind this and every single astronomer agrees that they are out there. We have one in the center of our galaxy. The point I am making is that we believe in fact, not a big man in the sky who cannot be proved to exist.

WE ARE NOT EVIL!

Every time I get into an argument with somebody, more often than not, I am told that people like me are trying to bring the devil to Earth and end all humanity. Some just say that Atheists are demons disguised as humans and that we are here to cause destruction. Okay, let's all take a nice long look at this for a minute. Let us all, as Atheists, think about what you just read. How scared and feeble minded must these people be? Their religion has completely brainwashed them into being petrified every day of their lives. What way of life is that? 

To me, there is no difference between good and evil. Everyone has their own perspective on what those two words mean; except for the Theists. Anybody who disagrees with their faith is automatically deemed evil. What kind of being, who claims to be all loving, would deem a group of people to be evil because of what they believe?

WE WILL NOT CONFORM!

If I have said it once, I have said it a thousand times; We will not change because you think you just gave us a way to be saved from eternal hell. I frankly, do not care if you tell me when I die, that I am going to burn in hell for the rest of spiritual existence. Until there is a way to scientifically prove that hell is underneath our feet, I will continue to drink, curse, have sex without being married and whatever else I would like to do. We only have one life and we need to live it to the fullest. 

For someone to tell me that a "miracle" has happened to them because they have prayed to "god", I will try to prove them wrong. I have heard this so many times, it is a joke to me. When a "miracle" happens, it is not an act of "god" and we will never believe that. Please do not tell me Little Jimmy is able to walk again because god has cured him overnight. Little Jimmy is able to walk again because of all the treatment he has undergone at the specialists he regularly visits. I will never believe in miracles.

PRAYING?

The only time I will ever get on my knees, is if my job requires it. There is no way I'm kneeling beside my bed every night to beg to the "almighty" for forgiveness. That's a very cowardice thing to do, and to think people actually believe this works, is insane. I am bewildered by people who pray, but even more so with the people who pray after someone passes away. We all are human, which means we are horrible to each other almost everyday. If someone passes away right now and your last words to them were, "I hate you", or "Leave me alone", you would go to their funeral and feel horrible about it. You would want to bring the person back to life and apologize. The Theists, on the other hand, would go to the service and pray over their body and say how much they liked that person. They would hold up their heads and act as if nothing bad had been said before the person passed. You might be wondering, "Why would you say that? I might not like Theists but that's just not true!" Except, it is true. You see, they are terrified of their god, they will not pray, but hope that god didn't realize their last altercation.

People often wonder, if atheists do not pray, how do they come to terms with what they have done wrong? Well, that's really simple to answer, we take responsibility for our own actions. We realize the faults in ourselves and we try to not make the same mistakes again. If we do make those mistakes again, oops! We are human, we mess up, we make mistakes, but we still make it through the day and wake up the next morning. 

Final Thoughts

So now, if people other than us atheists, have read this blog, hopefully they will better understand that we are people just like everybody else. We are people who are self sufficient and self made. We do everything you do, we just do not bow down to some cloud in the sky. We go off of scientific proof about our existence. We will not, and we will never change to your religion. If you would never convert to atheism, don't expect to even think for a minute, that we would convert to your fairy tale. That's all I have for today, thank you all for reading my blog. I will see you all in the next one 😊

Somebody Keeps Trolling Us!!!

Let's Talk

Today I decided I would step off of my "high horse". I would like to just simply address the naysayers. Specifically one in particular, I will call him Joe. Joe is a Christian, he does not take kindly to Atheists. He constantly is on Google+ putting down multiple Atheist pages, solely on the fact that he wants to be arrogant. I have tried to talk to him but it's like talking to a bar of soap. Today I have found out some very funny information about Joe. He is a convicted sex offender in Florida. Somebody exposed him and he had nothing else to say. As far as I saw, he remained quiet after that. After I found out this information I definitely let him know how disgusting he was. Maybe this is considered in ill taste by some, but after going back and forth in the comment section I couldn't take it anymore.

The Post

The post was from Atheist Republic on Google+. The picture here actually taught me something. I honestly didn't know this was from the bible. I went and looked it up on different sources, because I couldn't actually believe something like this is taught to children. Joe decided that he would open his mouth to defend the bible verse. I was so shocked, that I couldn't sit by and let him condone this nastiness. I told him that it was disgusting that he would even think of condoning this behavior and let this be taught to kids. We went back and forth for a little bit exchanging... not so nice words, to say the least. Then, another guy who I want to thank very much, chimed in and let me know some very interesting information.

The Shocker

As Joe and I were arguing back and forth about this filthy and disgraceful bible verse, a man who I will call Antonio, told me some very crucial information about Mr. Joe. Apparently, Christian Joe, is a child sex offender who lives in Florida. He is also on Twitter as a different name, but I will not get into that as to avoid a possible lawsuit. So, here we have Joe, a child sex offender, condoning this type of behavior. It all started to make sense to me. Even after being called a sex offender, he never denied it, he just asked where the information was found. Now, at this point Joe was undoubtedly afraid of Atheist Antonio. Joe stopped responding and commenting on the post after he was found out, as far as my knowledge is concerned. 

Google+ Profile

On Mr. Joe's Google+ Profile he is all about serving the Lord. He wants to make the world a better place with prayer and love, most likely ILLEGAL love, but I don't want to assume. He talks about how God changed his life for the better, how now he is a different person through prayer. Although, if he was so different from what he used to be, then why is he still condoning these horrible and disgusting acts? 

Word of Advice

Listen, the reason for my blog today is a little different than my last couple, but I could not let Joe get away with condoning this filthy behavior. When all was said and done, he retreated back into his dark hole of disgust and filth. I am honestly still sickened by this man. I want to thank Antonio for letting us all know, Joe is a convicted sex offender. I would release his name, but I do not want to get into any legal trouble. Especially, if people read this and decide to take action in the name of Jay Swiss. But, I'm sure with a little digging the more technologically advanced readers could find him anyway, but at least I didn't give away his personal information.

To Wrap Up

I want to stress that anybody could be a disgusting pig, like Joe, not just Atheists. I wonder how these Christians will now feel about this guy after reading this and that comment section? I'm sure they'll still foolishly support the fact that he is a "Born Again" Christian, but I will NOT idly stand by and let this guy; no not guy, this horrible and disgusting pig, get away with condoning these acts. Anyway, that's all for today, I will see you all in the next one. Thank you all for reading 😊
