What do you REALLY believe?

I chose atheist because I do not believe in any gods.. I do however believe in some sort of universal energy, not necessarily higher or sentient though.  Some definitions say that belief in a universal energy excludes me from atheism... but since I don't see that energy as sentient I still identify as atheist.  *shrug*

I believe in some sort of universal energy too... there's this really great philosopher who talks a lot about that, and I think his theories are pretty sound, you should check him out: http://www.feynmanphysicslectures.com/

Nigel you are fucking boss. Yeah!

Have you read the Satanic Bible? Is it any good? I mean to purchase a copy soon.

Dude, you're not going to get any sort of coherent response.

Because Sticker Ninja doesn't have the balls to talk to use as if we were anything other than cabbages.

But I may well be a cabbage!

my favorite satanic book is a book i bought at an old book store
book is almost 100 years old
they just don't write books the way they used to
it is called "The Devil's Dictionary"
its author disappeared in mexico in the early 1900's
no one knows what happened to him

That is seriously awesome! I am jealous.

If you finish your book will you post about it on here?

It is NOT awesome in any way. And even if it was, being jealous of it is like being jealous of the whore in a 3-act donkey show in Juarez.

Satanists are just Randroids with black fingernail polish. Most of them are socially retarded and lack the sophistication of thought to understand that they're essentially nothing more than the butt of a joke and/or fodder for an extremely sophomoric psychosexual ponzi scheme. By this measure, Sticker Ninja is like a shining fucking PARAGON of what Satanists aspire to be.

And believe me, on the off chance that he ever finishes the "book" he claims to be writing, he'll never shut up about it.

It's hardly an obscure title.

Didn't Roger do a parody of it a few years ago?

Yes. It also has nothing to do with Satanism.

Yeah, I know. But in Sticker Ninja's head it does.

Just because I don't agree doesn't mean I can't enjoy reading the philosophy. From parts I've read of the Satanist Bible so far, Satan appears to be the patron saint of egoists. Makes a change; and if I'm wrong on that, I'll still learn something new. I also have a various and growing assortment other philosophical/religious works such as the book of Chuang Tzu, the Tao Te Ching, books by Confucius, the Quran, the Holy Bible, the Communist Manifesto, the Enchiridion of Epictetus, the Blind Watchmaker, Machiavelli's The Prince, Aesop's Fables...the list could probably go on.

As for the jealousy part, it is largely because I have a bit of a thing for antique and/or unusual books. Weird old books can be really interesting, and even enlightening.

tl;dr I enjoy stuff.

The problem isn't that the Satanic Bible is disagreeable...it's that it is disagreeable and crap in exactly the kind of way you'd expect from a small time grifter doing a take off of Ayn Rand (who herself was a small-time grifter doing a take off of Nietzsche and Aristotle, and failing badly).

If you've got time to waste to read crap, knock yourself out.  I wouldn't bother though, when you can just read the people they were trying to emulate, who were both far more amusing and intelligent than they themselves could ever hope to be.

Oh you're probably right.

I don't believe in a deity, really. I'm as close to atheism as you can get without going over.

I have to agree: the book made little sense to me. I couldn't understand how LaVey was able to say "The satanic truth is there IS no god and you should just do whatever you want with reckless abandon...but you should worship Satan too." I mean, that's kinda what we do here except for us, it's a big joke.
