Satanism and Atheism
October 27, 2014 at 11:31 pm
My Pastor said that Satanism and Atheism are same religions because in both, the adherents take personal responsibility for their actions. Is it true?

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.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Technically, I'm thinking your pastor would agree that the other 39,999 denominations of christianity are also Satanic.

Weird he dumps atheists in with the catholics, ain't it ??

No No No No NO.
if we do not believe in god chances are we don't believe in satan.
that is the most dumb thing i seen on the internet today.
Your pastor probably has a narrow view on the world like some theists have.
but no we don't worship or even acknowledge there is a devil.
so please due explain to your pastor what he said was wrong.

No. But it is true that your pastor has the IQ of a penguin.
