A) very obviously invalid statement. Are you trolling? I'm not sure how anyone who hangs out on an atheism forum would think that.

B) thanks, that's what I thought.

For example, is a faithful satanist at least a bit more virtuous, by reason of their faith in a higher being, than an atheist who has no faith in a higher being?

God says no one is virtuous in the moral sense, this is a word man likes to use to describe his on selfish work. I do not mean all men. Because Satan is immoral how could his followers be virtuous, doesn't make sense to me.

How is satan immoral? He's killed a lot less people than your fat headed mate in the sky.

How do you know anything at all about satan, in fact?

Oh yeah, that book.

The fictional, made up one.

You're wrong.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

RE: Another obvious question. Re faith as a virtue
To be honest, Lucifer has been labeled immoral only because he opposed god, who was labeled moral. If you look at their actions objectively, god is actually the bad guy, in most respects. God didn't want Adam and Eve to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil so they would remain naive and easily controlled. Once they broke his absolute hold on them (accidentally) he punished humanity greatly to reassert his autority. God punishes entire civilizaions often on the idea that non-believers are evil. The devil tempts us to enjoy our lives and not grovel at god's feet and is deemed evil for it. He wants us to think for ourselves (Lucifer=bringer of light. lucid=luminous,sane). It's just one big conspiracy...well it would be if they existed.

SORRY - but you are mistaken

Atheists do not believe in satan as well as your god - they do not believe in ANY of the religious nonsense you espouse -

AS far as B; since YOU cannot provide any REAL PROOF of the existence of a god - much less that it is yours - there is NO virtue in being deluded by religion.

Satanism is about revolting against Christian upbringing. It was popular because of the generation it arose from....now that society has become more mainstream and cliquish, they now label themselves as atheists or if they are douchebags, humanists.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

Sorry if I actually walk the fuck around society.

Americans really need to spend more time interacting with others outside their social sphere in society to expand their horizons.
