Awww...

You left out Militant Agnostic aka "I don't know and neither do you!"

[Kagus]

Careful with slinging the term Anti-Theist around...  That's strong stuff.  You can get into trouble with both sides of the cross if you don't use it wisely.

And Asheron, the flying noodle monster falls under "Blasphemy".  It's on the list.


Since I'm here, I'd like to ask Hawkfrost something.  I've heard a couple names related to Satanism before, but I don't know if it's your kind of Satanism.  What are your views on Aleister Crowley and his writings?

If that question seems a bit offensive, I did not intend it as such.  You've just been very obscure when talking about your beliefs, so I don't really know what the tenets of your faith are.

And remember, I am an atheist.  To me, all other beliefs are equally unbelievable.  So I really wouldn't be able to tell the difference between Real Satanism and Garden Variety Satanism.

What's "Unsure?" Isn't that the same as agnostic?

I guess agnostic is being sure about being unsure, but still.

Anyways I'm agnostic. Except that I figure there's probably something in existence which our senses can't perceive at all which is maybe similar to what we might call God or spirits....but since our senses can't perceive it/them at all, there's no reason to act like we know.

[Boksi]

I'll believe it when I see it!

I wouldn't know, I have never read them.
I follow the teachings of the Qu'ret Al-Yezid and Highest Priestess Maxine Dietrich.
And unless the refer to themselves as "Spiritual" or "True" satanists, I assume they are goths, which are posers who know nothing about the Father.

[Wiles]

My only belief is that I know nothing...

I don't know a lot about Crowley, but I don't think he was a satanist. He was a freemason and part of the Hermetic order of the golden dawn, or something like that. Founded his own religion too, I think.

[Jude]

Incidentally, I would classify modern North American societal values as largely Greek pagan with a pseudo-Christian wrapping.

[Kagus]

I've only skimmed over a couple things that talk about Crowley.  I assumed he was related to satanism from what I saw.  Goes to show you how much I know about that particular subject...

And Jude, Greek Pagan was entirely more interesting.  We don't line our streets with penises for good luck.

Nor is rape considered a fitting legal punishment for burglary.

It should be.
If I was president, criminals would be beat to death by everyone they have ever wronged.

[Boksi]

You know, there's this theory that "an eye for an eye" was not advocating extreme punishment, but rather a way to make sure it wasn't too extreme?

[Nilocy]

Atheist all the way. I did invent a religion called Moncrieffism once... That was funny.

[Earthquake Damage]

Whoa there, chief!  Be careful where you sling around vague terms like "criminal!"  A criminal is by definition someone who's committed a crime, and there are a great host of crimes to commit, most of them trivial.  Hell, there are laws against jaywalking in some places.  The death penalty (with a very painful manner of execution at that) is a little excessive for that, isn't it?

 Person: Watch it Dave, there are laws against jaywalking here.
 Dave: Woah, thanks. That could have turned ugly. Anyway, lets go crash at your place. *Drops a candy wrapper*
 Police: He littered! BEAT HIM WITH THE EARTH!
 Dave: Waugh!

[Fualkner]

Universalist. I believe that regardless of religion, you are judged on the content of your character. Also, I  believe there's a Higher Power that we can't comprehend, and it has never really talked to us. (In the Jesus or Bhudda sense)

I was more referring to what our culture values. Obviously nobody worships Dionysius and Aphrodite, but the ideals they personified are still the most highly esteemed in various parts of society.

Add a little religious rhetoric, and your average frat party is a Dionysian ritual. And despite women's liberation, you can't kid yourself about what the most valued aspect of a woman is in the eyes of lots of men.
