i agree, assuming the Xians are right, hell is endless torture and brings no pleasure to even those who like torture. IF they r right, u don't want to go there. completely an unsatanic place to go. Love pleasure, love indulgence!
Hail Satan!

Indeed there isn't. If you've watched A Beautiful Mind, you'll know that the quest for a "Theory of Everything" (aka Governing Dynamics) is what drove a perfectly good genius insane.

Man cannot use science to comprehend everything, because Man is an animal, and a very divided animal at that.

As to the why of it, the why isn't science's job. "Why ask why, when how is so much more fun?"

Hmmm, how to answer this with the least amount of effort?
Oh, I've got it. "No."

Do we believe in the Christian God? No. Read TSB. Woshipping Yahweh would be worshipping the man who invented Yahweh. The honest Satanist woships only him/herself.

Do we base our ideas (faith=belief, thus we don't believe) on faith? No. Again, read TSB. Doubt will set men free.

Do we belong to a "church" in the Christian sense of the word? [broken record]No. Again, read TSB.[/broken record] Christians meekly follow what their Church tells them, or they "schism" from that Church and create a new one. "Cursed are the lovers of God, for they shall be as shorn sheep."

I believe that answers your questions. I refer any others to the source material.

Apathetic

Why believe in anything? Many Occultists and Philosophers would argue that nothing is certain and that only nothing is true.

Perhaps I joined the Church of Satan because I had nothing better to do.

The post of Magister Nemo: Back to God is the real essence of the thoughts of all the Satanists. Some of them believe in the existence of God, or of the Devil, but everybody would immediately sign a pact to go straight to Hell if that Monster of the Judeo/Xianized God existed.
This gives me the fool idea of putting posters around my neighborhood, like the Christians do, with “God!, No thank you!” printed on them.

The difference is that when we ritualize we know that it is self-imposed ignorance about things that nobody knows even if someone pretends to know.
The reason why we adhere to CoS is that it is a useful thing for us, as well as for some of us to believe in God or Devil suits to themselves, no tickets for an afterlife are sold and in my personal view, if this would be a mean to get away from the Judeo/Xianized God I would have done surely the best thing of my life.

Hail Satan!

Sorry -- who is this "God"?

I don't think I've ever heard of him.

No belief is required.

It all starts with lying to children. Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, boogey men, what have you. One sure way to kill magical ability is to tell a child that something fantastic and otherworldy exists, and perpetuate that belief and then shatter it 'when they are too old for it'.

Then the pious man comes along, and out of all that pain and frustration of having their magical creations shattered, the priest picks up the peices and re-constructs a new magical reality that financially obligates them to an organised institution. And they love it. It's okay to pop the balloons of the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, and Santa Claus, so long as you don't pop the myths of wealthy religous institutions, and religious people will do ANYTHING to protect their last fragile magical bubble.

Believing IS childish. It is an immature, parochial view of reality.

Mature people approach life with a whirlwind of doubt.
