How in the world could someone come to think of Satanism as atheistic?

Have you never read the Satanic Bible? Have you never heard of the Church of Satan or Anton LaVey?

"Satanists do not believe in the supernatural, in neither God nor the Devil. To the Satanist, he is his own God. Satan is a symbol of Man living as his prideful, carnal nature dictates. The reality behind Satan is simply the dark evolutionary force of entropy that permeates all of nature and provides the drive for survival and propagation inherent in all living things. Satan is not a conscious entity to be worshipped, rather a reservoir of power inside each human to be tapped at will. Thus any concept of sacrifice is rejected as a Christian aberration—in Satanism there’s no deity to which one can sacrifice."-Peter Gilmore, current leader of the Church of Satan.

Why "He" Big Chiller? Shouldn't you say "It" to be more specific? "He" suggests that this God has a sex organ. Would you feel comfortable saying "She"?

I prefer that you rather be intimidated by God than look down on Him or find a weakness in Him or attribute sexuality to Him. :p

I googled archaeology and Mohammed, to no avail. :shrug:

I guess I am fascinated by archaeologists arriving at conclusions based on absence of excavations = absence of evidence

Damn those archaeologists to hell! I googled archaeology and unicorns and came up with the same conclusion; absence of excavations = absence of evidence.

That guy speaks for Satanists?

There have been devil worshippers for many hundreds of years. Anton and Peter there didn't invent Satanism, nor do they run the show - nor is he (Peter) convincing in his attempts to conjure up some kind of "evolutionary force of entropy" as an entity free of supernatural characteristics, because he says it is.

A self-described Satanist who declares that there is no such entity as Satan is in a very sophisticated, or very silly, position. Not a common one.

It should be noted that pretty much everyone here is atheist in some regards. I mean, no one believes in ALL of the Gods and Goddesses and Intergalactic Warlords .... do they?

You think you're a decedent of Mohammad. But, it is possible there was never a Mohammad.

as much as it is possible you don't have a father..hey, you could be the second jesus.:shrug:

ALL archeologists regardless of faith agree there is no contemporary evidence for Mohammad. Unless you have some? Do you? We can publish and be famous :)

i've seen his tomb in saudi arabia, his corps was about to get stolen some time back.

could it not be him?
as much as an archaeologist could be wrong.

As it stands Mohammad is a literary creation much like Hercules, Amaterasu and Jesus.

and you, as it stands.
there's less evidence for your existence than the tenth there is to mohammad's.

Why "He" Big Chiller? Shouldn't you say "It" to be more specific? "He" suggests that this God has a sex organ.

because his prophets spoke of him as "he", so did he of himself in his books,
which, apparently, you opened none of.

You're drawing links between atheism with satanism.

I am not drawing links anywhere really, the Church of Satan has already stated this and has been stating this since it started in the 1960s. If you don't believe me you can email them yourself and ask them whether or not Satanism is an Atheist "religion," or philosophy.

Why would we accept those guys as spokesmen for Satanism? Apparently, they don't even believe in Satan - kind of a minimal requirement, one would think.

At least, it was for centuries.

What's next - we accept Ron Hubbard's "Scientology" as evidence of the nature of science? Religious scams are a dime a dozen in the US - wait 'til you see what Islam spins off, if the current bigotry ever dies down far enough.

Satan is a deity, ergo nonexistent for atheists. How can someone who doesn't believe in the supernatural believe in satan?
