Satanism is the ONLY Rational Religion

[EgoRaptor]

How is Satanism sociopathy?

How is it not?

You are the one making the claim (that Satanism in sociopathy), so you need to present evidence of your claim before I can attempt to debunk it.

I'll tell you what, kid - how about starting a thread and make a case for why we should take LaVey seriously instead of pointing and laughing. C'mon, it'll be fun.

Satanism is the only religion that promotes freethought & atheism. Yet it can also provide the dogma & ritual that man needs, something plain ol' atheism can't do.

The bitch of it is that I don't believe in Satan either - without whom Satanism seems a bit pointless.

My worst enemies are those who presume me to be harmless. They cannot imagine how much I resent and disdain them, or just how great a threat they would face if I could get at them. Everything in their behavior speaks of insult and presumptuousness, and for now it is all I can do to make constructive use of my anger toward them. At this time, I just make a list of them and keep a watch on. Some day, with the help of time, space, and circumstance, I will be able to humiliate them properly - not in a manner they would enjoy, but in a style calculated to make them wish that they had never been born. .

That is vengance, not sociopathy.

Attacking people for the simple reason they think you are harmless is not revenge at all.
It's an instigative offensive action, not a defensive re-action.

No, it's not. There was no harm done to be avenged.

A subset of Christianity whose adherents vehemently deny the relationship is not what I'd call "rational."

Besides, "rational religion" is an oxymoron.

Yeah it is, thinking knowing Lavey was harmless was damaging to his ego.

Exactly, & Satanism teaches that the ego is the most important of all.

Yeh I thought he was a harmless guy, did he ever kill or harm anyone in any significant way?
