I try to stay neutral in most topics but that is the biggest load of B.S. ever dude. Take a religion studies class and you'll realize religion isn't as "man made" as you think it is. It is our natural instinct to seek higher powers when faced with overwhelming tragedy the most key of which is death. There is nothing more overwhelming then the realization that you and every single person in your life WILL die and that leads people to ask "Then what?" and "Why?". Religion was a natural occurance of people working together to seek some kind of universal truth when faced with these kinds of tragedies. No one can possibly be their own god and certainly not as a collective because we all just as clueless as the next person as to what is really going on in our lives and what will happen in an "after-life". Not to mention the obvious fact that no one is perfect so you would be living your life by rules, laws and morals that could easily change on a daily basis which would make life even more pointless for someone in those shoes. Their are unwaivering truths wether it is written in a book or not; people KNOW the difference between right and wrong. Just because you worship "satan" does that mean you are going to feel any less terrible about yourself if you go and kill some innocent person for the hell of it?; which is exactly the kind of freedom those nutcases preach. I don't understand how you can clearly understand both sides of the spectrum when one of them is clearly flawed. Satanism CAN'T work because human nature would never allow it except in the cases of humans with some severe mental health issues who are completely INSANE. Instead of bashing religion you should take some time to learn and understand it a little better because you are going to faced with the same questions sooner or later in your own life.ian said:
