C: Well utter nonsense usually does have that affect. You're point I'll take it
is that Satan/Lucifer is a *product* of the Jewish/Christian scriptures. But conflating
Christianity w/Satanism leaves something to be desired as to valid logic. That's ok
though. The pagans think they have it up on us as a result somehow. I could take the time
to allude to the barbaric practices of most of the early forms of paganism, stuff which
modern pagans take pains to separate themselves from (hence the neo-). It's awful nice
when you can alter your beliefs to suit the times, and dispense with all that nastier
stuff.
I know a pagan lady. Bat crap crazy she is. She said Thor was one of her favorites
deities (along w/"Squat", who is alleged to be something of a patron saint of
automobile financing. You ask her). So I asked her does she really believe Thor was a real
*god*. She stated to the effect that all those old world gods were
manifestations/representations of "the Divine". So why aren't they all just
manifestations of ol' Beelzebub I ask? What's good for the goose is good for the
gander.
There's no point trying to explain it to you - you wouldn't
understand; our previous email conversations have demonstrated that.
As a happily god-free atheist, I've been called a satanist before,
myself. The typical god-botherer is too stupid to understand that not
believing in their preferred fictional sky-fairy doesn't mean that I
believe in a different fictional sky-fairy. The notion of not
believing that there are /any/ fictional sky-fairies at all is too
difficult for many of them to comprehend.
And since you believe that your mythical magic
pixie-cum-dead-Jew-on-a-stick made the universe in a week 6000 years
ago, that very very strongly suggests that you are not one of the
smarter ones. :?D
