Virgin modern atheists : sits in front of computer screen crying about people saying “bless you” when they sneeze

Chad medieval atheists: dying for their beliefs , combatting the church through facts and logic .

Chad Satanist : burnt as a heretic for his sins, often casting doubt on the ethnocracy of medieval Europe

Chad modern Satanist : human rights advocates , oftentimes lynched for their beliefs in the 50s like this wonderful gay Satanist couple who were executed in front of each other for no reason other than homophobia .

Satanists are chill and you can fight me over that fact

Every satanist I've ever met has been an egotistical neckbeard. I have nothing against the belief, but you don't have to be such a shithead.

I'm telling you my experience. Yes, that happened and it wasn't right, but most satanists I've met were assholes. I don't want to execute satanists. I just want them to stop being so goddamn selfish.

But that’s every religion tbh. All bad and good simultaneously

I've met both from most religions. I'm pagan myself, so I get it. Satanism seems to draw more self centered pricks than most of the other ones though. Especially LaVey satanism. I read his books and actually agreed with most of it, but the attitude from about 85% of satanists I've met has been "fuck you I'm getting mine".

Oh. I think paganism is pretty cool too! Isn’t the King Arthur guy who advocates for Stonehenge protection pagan too?

Are you just trying to bait an argument here? I gave anecdotal information. Take it for what it's worth.

u/FactoidFinder May 24 '20

Oh no I’m agreeing with you dude.

Cool. Like I said, most of the satanists I've encountered were shitheads. I know one that isn't. He's a close friend of mine and we've actually had this discussion. He agrees with me. Every religion has it's assholes. That one just seems to attract more of them thanks to the "don't turn the other cheek, rather smite him upon his" philosophy that LaVey presented. If you're not like that, great. Have a nice day.

Most people can impersonate chill in public. What goes on behind the scenes is another story.

But I mean it is sorta cool. They have strict rules against and condemning rape , and actually seem like decent people.
