Pretty much.

On that line, if you ever wanna freak out some Christians, tell that to them.
If they bring up hell say "I dont care"
When they are done choking just say "This is my life, I live it how I see fit, if it turns out I go to hell so be it"
They will look at you like eyes are sprouting out of your anus.

Double kudos if you can get someone (usually a street preacher) to seriously tell you "you are going to Hell"
Say I don't care, they're bound to go nuts!

LOL I do it with Hasidic's which try to put Tfilin on me... You know those Jewish wrap around my arm stuff. 

I really feel as if it's a question which answer won't bring anyone anything. So we might as well just drop it.

I think if God does exist he will also not automatically send all Agnostics or Atheists to Hell, unless they weren't good people anyway of course. He probably would understand their reasons for choosing to not be religious. If he doesn't, well, then he's not worth worshipping anyway.

If God does exist, he himself is probably even more amazing and complex.

Actually, that is more or less what I say.
I'm glad to hear it too because people  can't wrap their head around "we cant know" . While you can gather all the evidence you need ultimately, it is a decision made on faith. Atheists ALWAYS always think I'm trolling, (I guess since they cant grasp it) but I still say Atheism is a choice made on faith.

Because while I certainly do understand why someone can say there's no god, no one knows that and it's impossible to know.

Then I get laughed at usually, people tend to find it silly. Confused I guess no matter what you believe it's important to believe in something and this middle ground IDC mentality is weird.

Anywho, I still swing between Deist and Atheist, so I have no idea.
You said...best not to bother ourselves with it.

Yes, there are indeed however one isn't really scary.
The LeVay school just says Satan is a metaphor, and that it's ok to be hedonistic, selfish, individualistic etc
Basically, be a total dick.

That's not scary, just dickish!



It's what a sizable majority of the world practices in contrary to what they preach. LaVay just put it in writing.


Very true.
I think it's an extremely safe bet to say the most followed religion is LeVayan Satanism! People don't even know it!

The other one is kind of scary, and the one person I ever encountered who was a "true" satanist ended up committing suicide.
My christian friends of course figure he was tainted with the darkness, or something...I figured he had issues and was open to the idea of Satanism because of said issues, but that is why he took his life.
Maybe both feed off each other?
I have no damn clue

Ah, a noobie re incarnated it Cry

Sighs

I made this because there have been 9001 threads on PA about religion, all of which suck.
So I made this one to determine once for all the best one.
It's a stupid joke.

Also I did it because I knew despite it's obvious silliness, people would take it too seriously.
So im an a****le, basically.
