So as ive progressed through the years of my life i have grown smarter. Smart to see that Science and evolution is right. I have been rasied most of my entire life to be a good Christan. So now i need to make a choice, Be a beliver, or Non- Beliver. Sorry for the bad spelling. Any last objections?

If you fall away, you have never been a Christian. Perhaps you don't even know what it is to be a true Christian; perhaps you have been only a nominal Christian.

Smart to see that evolution is correct? Oh dear. The wisdom of this world is foolish when compared to God's wisdom, which is why His wisdom is so hard for people to accept.

And by the way, I'm generally considered pretty smart, and I happen to think that evolution is ridiculous and science as imperfect as the scientists themselves.

Whoever said science was perfect? Nor is religion as well you know.

Okay, I normally don't care what ppl believe in, but you are seriously disturbed if you worship Satan.

Satanism is a legitimate religion (recognized by the US Navy as well). It's focus is towards independance.

Okay, you're thinking of that one random guy that got accepted into the Navy.

Second... Seriously? Satanism? I know there are people that are really negative and depressing but SATANISM?

That is as low as you can get.

It's negative and it's depressing.

Science is not perfect. We used to believe in a Newtonian model for physics. Alas, no longer. In a few more decades, we'll find out how wrong the current model is. Science is limited to human knowledge and observation, which are flawed.

The difference is that religions such as Christianity, Islam, and Judaism can make a claim to Truth as they claim to have divine inspiration and word from God. Can you prove them wrong? Not with human knowledge.

I happen to ascribe to Christianity? Why? Because of personal reasons and things beyond "normal" human experience.

I just question whom said it was perfect. I never said it was.
And I just said nor is religion.

Further more, I'm agnostic, so before you go on further I suggest you look up the word if you have no idea what that is.

Satanism is not worshiping the Devil. >.< When one of my friends explained it to me, it was more along the lines of "I'm going to be the best I can be in this life, find my strengths, etc, because this is my one shot to do right." I actually saw it as pretty positive since it was motivating.

Quote:

In December 2007 the Associated Press reported on a story concerning the Church of Satan, in which a teenager had sent an e-mail to the administration stating he wanted to "kill in the name of our unholy lord Satan." Further re-affirming their pro law standpoint, the Church reported the message to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which then informed local police who arrested the teenager.[

And depending on what you mean by religion, I disagree that it is flawed.

Actually I personally don't have a liking for the idea of religion at all. I simply believe people should just live earnestly, love, and laugh with their day to day experiences without worry of whom created or whom is watching.

And on religion as a whole, it is neither flawed nor perfect, but it is certainly something useful to give people hope or direction to those lost in life.

Yikes, how can you live like that? I'm always curious, always wondering why, always thinking beyond the mundane.

Frankly the idea that people ought to "eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die" is a little disturbing to me. After all, what difference would it make if we lived six years or sixty? What difference would any action make?
What about after death?

So religion gives hope and direction? Well, speaking from personal experience, add miracles and supernatural experiences to that list.

Actually, there is a little thing I like to believe in myself that sets aside all of those worries, and that is reincarnation. Though it is only something in my hopes and dreams. That one wish alone and living my life to the best I can is all I would ever need.

As for miracles and the supernatural, I know religion can cover that quite well however there is a science that speaks there are random instances in the universe that occurs without explanation. I'd rather not get further into it than that as it's only another man's theory about how things work in another dimension.

I liked this quote from the second link that may shed some light to those that consider satanism nothing but evil.

"Satanists believe that there are things that science and religion have not yet taken out of the "Darkness" - things that are yet to be explained. The name given to these things are "Satan". Not the Catholic versions of him, where he is a being hell bent on destruction and misleading everyone."
