"If there is a God who will damn his children forever, I would rather go to hell than to go to heaven and keep the society of such an infamous tyrant. I make my choice now. I despise that doctrine. It has covered the cheeks of this world with tears. It has polluted the hearts of children, and poisoned the imaginations of men. It has been a constant pain, a perpetual terror to every good man and woman and child. It has filled the good with horror and with fear; but it has had no effect upon the infamous and base. It has wrung the hearts of the tender, it has furrowed the cheeks of the good. This doctrine never should be preached again. What right have you, sir, Mr. clergyman, you, minister of the gospel to stand at the portals of the tomb, at the vestibule of eternity, and fill the future with horror and with fear? I do not believe this doctrine, neither do you. If you did, you could not sleep one moment. Any man who believes it, and has within his breast a decent, throbbing heart, will go insane. A man who believes that doctrine and does not go insane has the heart of a snake and the conscience of a hyena." [Robert G. Ingersoll, "The Liberty of Man, Woman and Child", 1877]

So your down with satan huh? Well im not suprised. After all humans are a race of simpletons. (not exclueding myself when i mention humans). Im not gonna try to put you down. Im gone tell you the facts. If you don't belive em I really don't give a damn. Honestly as bad as satanism is at least you have a god. Atheistism is the worst religion. But anyway. it's sad that humans have the balls to judge a being who created them. That's why I dispise the Human race. Even though Im one myself. Obviously they don't know the meaning of being a god. God can do whatever he wants. He can go around killing and beating up his creations and if he says it's good then it's good. God created everything. good even evil. God created everything. EVERYTHING!! What he says goes. That's what it means to be loyal to him. And as far as you not beliveing him goes, I guess your waiting for proof. Well guess what you won't get proof. God runs by faith. Not by proof. If you have faith then you'll get your your proof. And by the way god and his angles beat satan and his angels. So I got a better God than you.

look in the mirror
there you are
if you are convinced that is the only being to worship than yes by your definition you would then oppose other religions or join secular humans in accepting what is vs what you want to be
usually what opposes others is called 'the' adversary and it is demonized even if it's just an idea from you using logic which conflicts faith and circular thought
the idea of special people, special days, special books, special lands, special water, holy anything is at the core of what divides us
we are all killed by natural disasters creed and faith (less) alike
we see afterwards no clergy was spared no angels saved no one was rescued, all just dead now

I am very sorry that you feel this way, and God is even more sorry. Your description and your opinion of Him couldn't be any more wrong. God is none of those things you said. God is love, and righteous and just. You picked some things out of the Old Testament, and you picked them out of context (and there are things you said that aren't even Scripturally accurate at all). If you read the whole text, you would have a better understanding. If you read the New Testament, you would have an even better grasp of who God is.
Regarding you being a satanist - you need to know that Satan is a liar. He is the father of lies. His whole purpose is to rob, cheat and destroy. He is the one who is feeding you these out and out deceptive notions. He hates you and he wants you dead - after you serve him of course. God is his enemy (by his own will) and the more people he can get to curse God and join him in hell - the better for him. Please don't get caught into it. He is lying to you and using you.
Pick up the Bible - read the New Testament. Base your opinions on fact rather than emotion or lies. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I would be happy to answer them.

God is just a product of the human mind which explains why God is often best described as a monster.

Baal[Lord]-Zebub[of those who fly](the latter, commonly mistranslated as"of the flies") is the God the christians CHOOSE to worship and pledge their eternal existence to. An ancient war God.
Ironic really. Definitely sad.

Well, that's only the Christian interpretation of God you're talking about.
There are dozens - not all so megalomaniacal.
I don't believe in any of them, personally - but don't buy the line that the Christian God is the only possible god. It's propaganda.

Please read my words carefully:
If you see footmark in the sand, you'll say that someone passed from here...
If you see a piece of dog sh*t on the ground, you'll say that a dog passed from here...
So what about the enormous universe, the sky, stars, planets, earth and all the beauty in it, doesn't it lead to that someone made it?!!!
Some people say that everything is created by itself after the big-bang... I won't ask you about what caused the big-bang, but I'll ask you a simple question:
If you take all the letters of the alphabet, multiples of them, and you threw them randomly on the floor. Do you expect (by a chance of one in infinity) to get a poem like shakespear's??!!
Can't you see how organized our universe is, the planets, the eco-system on earth, look even in your own body... Can you control your heart-beat? Can you control your breath while you're sleeping? Who stopped your eye-lashes from growing after reaching a certain length? Who told the baby turtles to move towards the sea and not to the earth after they come out of their eggs? Who taught the bird how to make nests?
My friend, think with your heart and brain. If you're still lost, think about the following:
Do you know how to play safe?
Your point:
If there's no God and you do all what you want in life, then nothing will happen to you after life. But if there was God and you were mistaken, then you'll blame yourself FOREVER...
Believer's point:
If there's God and I followed His commands in life, then I'll be in Heaven after life FOREVER. But if there was no God and we're mistaken, then nothing bad will happen to us after life...
Now you know how to play-safe, in case you're not convinced?

No, Satanists don't actually believe that Satan exists. Satanism is not devil worship.

oh dear...please go to the nearest church and ask a priest to tell you more about God, because you're on the wrong path.
