Lets get a few things straight... (Religion rant by mad elf)
Okay peoples lets play learn religion game

Aetheism= the belief in no god.
Paganism= used to refer to any religion new or ancient that worships any god BUT the Abrahamic one (i.e. the Christian, Jewish, muslum)
Satanism= THE WORSHIP OF SATAN!!! PEOPLE IT HAS HIS FRICKIN' NAME IN IT!!! JUST LIKE CHRISTIANITY... THE WORSHIP OF JESUS/THE LORD/ THE HOLY SPIRIT

okay and just for the record... SATANISM IS NOT SELF WORSHIP... THAT NARSCISM (A.K.A. selflove)... SATANISM IS NOT A MIX OF AETHEISM AND ANCIENT PAGAN BELIEFS... that my friends is call a high level of confusion, as Aethism is the belief in no god...

Now then as a Catholic (oh yes I am catholic henceforth every thing I say is 'unenlightend' bigotry and I am closed minded, and blah! stare ) I think that I have a good religion every one should join... but you don't see me waving billboards in front of people and hitting my pagan friends on the head with bibles or dissing their beliefs do ya? No.I proclaim the gospel to them, but oh look at the elf, he does it in spiffy ways that are more like suggestions or friendly tips I don't say that people are going to hell for their beliefs, and no one burn down my little spritual forest (but if they did... I would make them very miserable). People may think that I am being a fool for following the example of a Carpenter who bled to death on a cross two thousand years ago, but hey I am doing my best to better of a world that I believe is a devine gift. *mumbles about people using wrong termanology for religious things* *retracts snake fangs* *gets off soap box* *goes back into forest*

I don't want to know which of your friends brought this up because I know a lot of them aren't very bright in the religions category, but right now I feel kind of sorry for them if you let them know this rant in person. But I agree. It bothers me greatly when people keep telling me that I'm either an athiest or an agnostic. I'm a general pagan who has my own set of beliefs. That's all. Get used to it.

I still don't understand why Catholicism isn't bad. I mean, hey you're not giving in to all the stupidity and pathetic-ness of the bandwagon. I mean teens these days think Wicca means dressing in all black and calling yourself a vampyre and scaring little children....ummmmm....no. It's not. It's a nature religion and if you're not going to worship correctly....THEN DON'T ******** WORSHIP AT ALL!!! And also, same thing with Satanism. Um...yea..the worship of Satan....does anyone else see something wrong here. I mean they make sacrifices and s**t. And if anyone doesn't believe me then don't but I knew some actual real Satanists.....they're scary. And they're not nice people. And they ended up in jail after getting caught sacrificing animals and from what they told me which I don't know is real or fake but another group that they knew tried sacrificing a human girl. Um....yea....and some of your friends think this is cool.

People need to do their own research and get in the know and stop being Goddamned closed-minded and just let me and you be. I mean I'm pagan but I'm still kinda Catholic too yet I get put down for believing that Jesus Christ actually existed and giving some respect to the God of a very very powerful religion. I don't know...maybe we're just crazy.

Anyways...now that I've turned this comment into my own rant post I think I'll end it now. My only hope is that people will stop being jibbering idiots and start thinking for themselves, or at least let us be smart and keep their stupidity to themselves.

First thing, mike and Childapocalypse:

Satanism as you define it barely even exists. All mentions of Satanic cults and Satan worship from the rough time period 1920-1990 were FALSE claims made by fundamentalist christians, and multiple organizations have gone through each claim on a case-by-case basis and confirmed that there is no evidence or police reports suggesting that anyone did any sacrifices or molestations in the name of satan. While there might be the couple random insane/twisted people calling themselves Satanists, there is no underground organization that actually has any rules regarding ritual sacrifice.

Definitions work only with the people who agree with the definition. Many aguments can never proceed because both parties are using different definitions. As for me, I regard Satanism as you say, self-worship, because there is actually an organization that refers to their "religion" as satanism, even though they deny the existence of a satan and of a god.

As for Catholisism, the religion itself has only just as many flaws as most other religions. The problem is the people within the religion.
"I love God, I just hate his fan club."
You and Mike are obviously okay catholics, but the "wiccan" teens you refer to have a christian counterpart which shows up in life more often because Christianity is more prevalent in America than other religions.
