- I'm fed up with all the complaints and criticisms, both on and off
- the Net, for my chosen religion. Not fundies bashing, but
- primarily atheists & related types saying "If you worship Satan,
- you must believe in _The Bible_ and all the teachings of Xianity
- [when has the teachings of Xianity had anything to do with _The
- Bible_?]. You must acknowledge that God is the greater deity, and
- you are going to Hell, and Jesus was part of the Trinity, blah,
- blah, blah. Why do you want to give all the glory to God, you're
- defeating your own purpose?"
-
- I could use logic to explain my position, but you know athiests,
- they have their faith and "know" what's Right :)
-
- So instead I want to try something different. I want to be
- something else besides a Satanist. One little problem: I need a
- good symbol. Are there any gods, or other appropriate beings, who
- would be good for representing:
-
- Night
- Death
- The bestial side of humanity
- Worldly power
- Love (for your own side)
- Sex
- Equality
- Knowledge, reason, enlightenment
- Change (e.g. overturning the status quo)
- Dualism
-
- That's all I can think of for now. If anyone comes up with a
- suitable god, I guess I'll switch over. Otherwise, I'll have to
- start practicing Black Masses in order to justify my continued
- existence, and I would so hate to go to all the trouble of
- becoming a defrocked priest.
