From the Christian perspective I would think the self determination of Lucifer, love that name, might be easily misconstrued will atheists lack of conformity with religions as a whole. If I were a Christian I might be susceptible to such a mix up.
When the misquote results in such a logical absurdity as this, contempt is justified.

Then your pastor is a fucking idiot.

So if that's how he wants to describe Satanism, then yes, I have no problem being lumped in with it. I'm wondering why it took four pages for somebody to point that out.
OP, my two cents:
You're either a real dolt, an ankle-biter, or both.

Or maybe we give the Pastor too much credit, and he merely meant the old chestnut that anyone who doesn't serve the Lord serves Satan by default.
Well yeah, of course everyone knows that atheism is the devils work!

And I've got a PhD in Teletubby anatomy.

There's a fascinating article on the dark secret origins of the Teletubbies here: http://moose.spesh.com/teletubbies/genesis.html
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

It is a right wing mantra shrieked from about every far right pundit such as Lush Rimjob or Shaun Insanity that we should all be taking personal responsibility for ourselves. Obviously then, conservatism is rank Satanism!

Also, this implies that in christianity, the adherents don't take personal responsibility for their actions. Who does he think is responsible for what you (personally) do?
More importantly, how did you not see straight through this?
