My comment did in no way reflect that any given path is more or less
intelligent a choice than any other path chosen. I applaud you for your
convictions & the fact that you live what you believe. One of your
comments I do not understand..."And I unlike you do have many things
that I believe in that fall
within my faith and teachings." What makes you think that I do not
believe or that my path does not include teaching & learning? I have
many friends from various walks of life, including, but not exclusive
to, a variety of Christians, Buddhists, Pagans, Wiccans, Muslims &
Athiests. We all respect & learn from each other, never being
condescending or judgemental of one another. I did not attack your
belief system, I respect it. I was asked a simple questiopn by another
member & answered it. That is all. I did not wish to begin a battle of
"who's philosophy/religion is the best". All paths seek the same basic
goal in life.

1. My cats & dogs
2. Friends
3. Music
4. Air
5. Sleep
6. Knowledge

Yes, it is my opinion. And no, all Satanists do not worship Satan, nor
do most even believe that such an entity exists. I find most people in
my realm to be highly intelligent & non-judgemental. We tend to accept
other for who & what they are. We do not apologize for nor do we
rationalize our philosophy. We are not sheeple & follow nothing blindly.
We do not go out of our way to explain or "convert" others to our way of
thinking. It takes a certain level of intelligence to question a belief
system that is a major part of society. There are different paths
through life for a reason. We are all individuals who have the right to
choose for ourselves.

That is tooooooooooo funny & very true. Cats have the most warped sense
of humor in the animal kingdom. I love it!!!

Too funny from all!! But "boobs" do serve a greater prurpose, they have
helped men avoid eye contacts for centuries!

LOL....that's great!! I saw one the other day that I thought was too
good. In VERY tiny letters, it said "If you can read this, you are too
F***ing close".

The deaths of the most influential people in my life, my Mother &
Grandmother, nine months apart to the exact date.

{{{{{Sis}}}}} I know how hard that was for you. Sometimes doing the
right thing can be the hardest choice of all. I know you did what you
had to do because you love him more than life itself. You are a brave &
incredible woman.

Yes, definitely. My opinion is....if I wanted a son I would adopt one!!
I am so not into changing someones huggies!! LOL

A combination of the following: Stone Sour ~ The Wicked....Marilyn
Manson ~ Don't Pray For Me...& Acidbath ~ Dead Girl

Oh yeah Sis!! I love cats, well, actually all animals. I have 8 cats, 2
dogs (who think they are cats), a gerbil & a snake. Never a dull moment
here. Almost like a 3 ring circus, just missing a tent!!

Jim just bought a new rifle & called his buddy Mike to go out with him &
test out his new "toy". Looking through the high power scope, Jim
comments "Wow, Mike I can see all the way to your house with this thing,
but I have some bad news for you....your wife is having an affair"!!
Mike responds, "That bi@$h....shoot her in the head & shoot him in the
groin"!! To which Jim replies, "Dude, I can do that with one shot"!!!

Sorry to dispell your delusion, but there is no "sacremental" use of
anything involved here.

It is not a "religion" per say, more of a philosophy & concept of life.
Just as with any other "religion", there are different factions & many
individual "belief" systems within the core group. I have found it to be
more individualized than any other path. Of what I speak is commonly
known as Satanism. It is highly misunderstood & misinterpreted. Many
thinking that everyone who is a Satanist actually worships Satan. Which
is far from the actual truth. The fact is, most Satanists worship
nothing. We are not "evil". We are regular people just like everyone
else out there. We just choose a more intelligent path that puts the
responsibility for everything you do on you & you alone. There is no
shifting the blame for ones actions. And you do not live with the
inordinate amount of guilt that other religions place on you for being
human.

Hilarious, but sooooooooo true!!!

OMS Sis..........that was hilarious!!! I am laughing so hard I have
tears in my eyes. It would take a man to do somthing like that!!! No
woman would ever be THAT curious!

Although I am also left-handed, that is not exactly what I was referring
to. Those who actually dwell in or understand this realm of philosophy
will "get it".

Very few have achieved the knowledge or the wisdom to judge others. None
of us are perfect & we all make mistakes from time to time. The truest
test should be having the intelligence to not make the same mistake
twice. Also, consider this.....what some think to be wrong/"sinful" is
not always so in the philosophical opinions of others.

Just curious, since I am & would definitely appreciate finding like
minded individuals. Especially since we are a misunderstood & often
maligned minority. Many people who share my philosophical opinions are
now coming out of the preverbial closet. I think this is a great thing.
Knowledge is power & assisting poeple in the true understanding of what
we really are can only lead to acceptance & tolerance of others & their
right to "believe" as they see fit.

I just joined this site after a very close friend sent me an invitation
& said she was truly enjoying it. I am in the St. Louis area. I don't
know about the rest of you in my area, but I, for one, am thrilled that
spring is finally here. I hope everyone is having fun here & is finding
what they seek. I am happy with my life, but would really like someone
to hang out with, go places with & have fun with. I am not really
looking for a "snore in my face 24/7" type of relationship. I do need
someone who is honest, real & not afraid to be themself at all times. A
sense of humor is a requirement, lack of one is unacceptable. An I.Q.
larger than hat size would be nice as well. Loving animals is a definite
plus also.
