@Twee: Buddhism, which is technically a philosophy, not a religion.

I agree, epic fail.

the problem with Atheism is that it is merely a reaction to religion. it’s still a category in humanity’s belief system. not believing in God is perfectly rational, but the point of Atheism isn’t to not believe in God. it’s to live in this lifetime and this world alone and not regard anything unproven. Atheists and Christians often times have a common ultimatum: “Think as I think or I will mock your values system.”

how one should approach living depends on one’s goals in life; mine is really just to attain a good measure of happiness and let the details be whatever they happen to be. I trust my instincts to guide me there. It’s right FOR ME. FOOOORRRRR MEEEEEEEEE. do whatever the fuck you want. i will get my happiness regardless.

now go ahead and call me gay and tell me to fuck off. it makes you sound so smart.

@Mack: What is an atheist big bang? Sounds like one hell of a party! The cosmological model however takes no theological stance one way or the other.

a) There are two schools of satanism. One is LaVeyan Satanism, which is an atheist moral philosophy in it’s own right, and uses Satan simply as a metaphor.

The second is that which worships satan as the deity and buy into the whole god/jesus/satan christian idea, but just decided to go with the bad guy. People who follow this are in the minority compared to LaVeyan satanists.

b) Sylvanish is right – The Aum symbol isn’t hindu exclusive. It refers to the sound of the creation of the universe – Either brahma breathing out the universe in a big bang, or the atheist big bang, whichever one you buy into. It’s also the sound that comes most naturally to people due to the shape of our bodies “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh” and becomes “ommmmmmmm” as ones mouth closes.

c) Dyna Mole, fuck off. You can’t think logically for shit.

- Atheist

Saying “your own heart – that’s the furthest you need to search for the truth.” Then following it with “take your hunches with a grain of salt” shows how fuzzy your thinking is. Maybe you should let your brain take over and put your heart and guts out to pasture.

And Atheists can in fact be Satanist, it just depends what type of Satanist. The largest group that calls themselves Satanist don’t believe in the Devil or anything to with a religious mythos, they follow a way that is basically : Do whatever you feel like doing. Because that lead so naturally to the many things the Church calls sins, they were branded incorrectly as Satanists by the Pope (I think, or a subordinate, i can’t remember exactly) the “Satanists” being the types to not give a flying fuck with ‘devil-may-care’ attitudes, thought “Sweet, the Church hates us and thinks we worship Satan, that’s kind of awesome. It builds us infamy.” So they kept the name and did little if nothing to dispute it. They are not actually the same as Satan-Worshippers, or Satanics who are a schism of Christianity.

And the Aum symbol in the middle isn’t an exclusive Hindu symbol either. It is a syllable that represents the entirety of the universe. Sort of like adding the infinity symbol to this list and also proclaiming it wrong.

Yeah, crazy people can at best be ignored, or grabbed by the collar and thrown into the nearest wall which will only temporarily disrupt your synchronization with history.
