It may not matter, but your reply touched me, and I wanted you to know that I prayed for such a response from you,altho I felt doubts creep into my heart and mind I put them aside and rested.I have kept journals down thru the years and remember when I was first saved I’d have dreams of being in school..but most of the time I was late for class.Later on I was shown what that meant.I’ve always been somewhat of a scatterbrain and prefer to do 20 things at once.Theres a lot of wisdom in meditation!

Sandie, it’s brave of you to share your experiences. If your faith has enabled you to put your life back together and allow you to move on then I have no right or desire to question it.

I wish you the very best of luck with your book and if you make its publication known to me, perhaps through this forum, I would be pleased to read it.

essenceofevil are you smarter then a fifth grader?You and I live on 2 different levels,and you really truly need to know that I live my life based on a relationship not on a religion.Someday when my book is finished I hope you get the chance to read it.My past life was full of mistakes,errors,horrors and ignorance.I practiced witchcraft,was totally hooked on astrology,was raped,set up by a best friend to be beaten by a gang of her relatives,I was given a shot in a doctor’s office that should have killed me and I thought the aftereffects surely would.Sold by my parents at 8 months of age and found it out at age 13 (I thought that knowing I was so unloved was going to destroy me) after finding my parents,my dad tried to molest me over and over until I thought I would go insane(he died last year and God showed me where he went)But when I was 27 I attended a little church way out in the country where people live clean and healthy. The pastor called me up and ask if he could pray for me and I said yes…as I made my way back to my seat I suddenly felt a warm burning inside my chest..I felt a heavy heavy weight lift off my heart and I knew that I had been forgiven of my sins. I cried for 3 weeks relizing that my soul had been bought and cleasned by the precious blood of Jesus Christ. I could go on and on but I see no need.Nothing or no one will ever change what God choose to do in my life or what he does everyday.When the books are opened on judgement day your choices will be there and so will mine.God doesn’t show me many things that I ask about until he feels I am mature enough spiritually to receive it.The holy bible(king james version) is not a dead book unless you are dead in sin.If a person is dead spiritually theres no way on earth they can understand its content. You and I see the world with different eyes…and I want you to know that I wrote these things here just in hope that a piece of your heart was open enough to understand why I believe in God.I also need you to know that I love him in a way that I’ve never loved a human..hes always there and hes never let me down. Theres plenty I do not know nor do I understand,but it doesn’t take an expert to know when someone loves them!

Reason42 we have an understanding!! )

We are here to please ourselves, that is the point of our existence.

Sandie, I could cry. Either you’ve chosen to ignore my link or, for some unknown reason, when you click on it you’re directed to a completely different web site. Satanism *IS* a religion. It is essentially the antithesis of pre-existing religions.

Let me save you some of the effort of clicking the link, here’s definition of Satan from the site;

“Satan is not a real, living entity, conscious or a physical thing that can be interacted with. It is a symbol, something ethereal, something that basically doesn’t exist except as an emotional attachment and personal dream. Just like Buddhists do not worship Buddha, Satanists hold up Satan as an ultimate principal rather than an object of literal worship. ”

I don’t do devil worship, the devil does not exist, it therefore follows that God does not exist. Any consideration of a supernatural entity merely serves to distract people from the real questions;

“Who am I?”
“Why am I here?”

By answering these questions with a God we stifle our ability to think clearly. As a Satanist, I find anything that stifles clarity of thought deeply offensive.

Let me answer these questions for you without the presence of God;

“I think, therefore I am”
“I am here to be the best that I can be and to please myself”

If the God thing works for you then you have my respect, the only reason I posted to this forum was to see if you could view things a little differently.

Just one last question… What’s so bad about apes and why would you not want to believe we evolved from them? The evidence for human evolution is there for all to see to deny it and to not learn from our past is simply stupid.

Excuse me but if satanism is not a “religion” then why in the name of “common sense” does he have to have his own bible? I read some of that mixed up mess on the other link and thought,sure if he can get you to believe that hes not really who he says he is,then you’ll without fail believe whatever lie hes peddling at the moment. You see,if he can convince you that you are a natural body without a spiritual soul then hes trapped you into a mindset. I probably hate certain types of organized religions just as much as I hate organized crime..and when God said “ye that love the Lord,hate evil,I’m positive he had me in mind! But times are changing rapidly and Satan knows his time is now short.As for me I’m content with allowing someone who continuously hardens their heart toward God to just believe they originated from an ape,especially if they’re still behaving like one!

Well said, Mike!

Sandie, glad you’re still here.

EssenseOfEvil, my first Satanist commentator. Cool! Taking a look at the link you provided reminds me of the three essential needs of human existence – eating, sleeping and getting laid. Without these things, we wouldn’t be here today. Everything else around this is a distraction, but the wise use their time carefully to improve the quality and quantity of these three things. Would you agree?

Hey Sandie, please look beyond the title of the book – check this link instead;

Mikereflects, you’re quite right. Your response knocked me flat on my backside and without Sandie’s post I’d have left it at that. I have enjoyed reading your discussions and will not pretend that I am able to join in your discussion in any meaningful way.

You are also quite right about the user name too, I chose it to illicit a response and received a well phrased poke in the eye for it.

Please take a look at the link any way, the alternative views presented by the Satanic Bible may have some value for your studies, if nothing else.
