Satanism and Atheism

[Jenny A]

Oh puleeese.

Atheism is a lack of belief in god. There are no tenants about personal responsibility for one's actions, because there are no tenants. That's because it isn't a religion. Satanism covers a variety of groups that don't have much to do with each other and I have no idea whether any or all of them believe that people are personally responsible for their own actions. I don't think your pastor does either. He certainly knows nothing of atheists.

That said, I do think I am personally responsible for my actions and you are personally responsible for yours. The entire legal system of the United States, and the rest of the western world, and every where else as far as I know, rests on that principle. It is a good principle necessary to civilization.

Your belief that god will forgive your sins is not a get out of jail free card on earth whatever you may think it will do for you at death.

Darlin', they're tenets, not tenants.

Issssssssh!
