Celt23 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 The Goths sacked Rome. Most of them were devoutly Christian, under King Alaric. The author doesn't mean those Goths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viktorkrum77 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I don't understand why anyone would worship Satan. By worshipping Satan, you're acknowledging that God does infact exist and thereby you are automatically going to Hell, soooo...Why would you even bother...? Some types of Satanism don't believe in the same Satan as in the Bible. The biggest branch of satanism, Laveyan satanism believes that you are a god and doesn't believe in any deities. What's the name for the philosophy where you think you're the only one who exists? It starts with an 's' I think. Me doing staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zonorhc Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 The author doesn't mean those Goths. I'm very well aware.

Viktorkrum77 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Stoicism? Selfishness? It's Solipsism. I've been searching for that word for years, can't believe I finally found it! \ Me doing staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknownmasterofnothing Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Worshipping god and devil are pretty much the same, worship one that you believe has power and in the end you will be rewarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigra00 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Worshipping god and devil are pretty much the same, worship one that you believe has power and in the end you will be rewarded. Yea, except the Bible says that Satan doesn't have the power to reward, and even he himself will be punished...Or is being currently, whatever. Worshipping Satan would be a one-way ticket to that same treatment, and where is the reward there?

Worshipping Satan would be a one-way ticket to that same treatment, and where is the reward there? That's simple. Satanists (well, Laveyans) don't believe in christianity or the christian satan per se; they see satan as a symbolism of sorts who represents all of the so called 'sins' which, in thier philosophy (and, arguably, in reality [with the opposition of an obvious few, so don't rip my head off please]) all lead to physical and mental gratification. So to put all of that more simply, satanists believe the reward is in life, as there is no afterlife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has nothing to do with Satan except that Satan is also an indulger and whatnot. Who cares? So are fat people. Why not call it Gluttonism if that's all it is? :P And "Why shouldn't people worship Satan if they can worship God?", well duh. God is the deity you're supposed to worship and have a reward. Worshipping Satan gets you nothing but eternal torment. Satan has no powers and got his [wagon] stomped by God for being a trifflin' little biabia. So you can either worship [bleep]-boy and get nothing, neither in life nor death, or you can worship the one who kicked [bleep]-boy's butt AND get a reward!

w00ter Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I HATE goths.. they do it for attention. Lol I don't get it? What does 55 slayer have to do with barrows? Or do you just do barrows to celebrate goals achieved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
games_sneak Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Actually, most of us are goths because we to be different and to stand out, I guess you might say thats for attention, but only in the same way chavs wear tracksuits and shave their heads.

Tigra00 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 It's sad, but the most original people around are the people who don't try to be original. When you try to be original, like by being a goth, chav, whatever, then you're just joining a group of tools that are clones of you. Just...Wear normal clothes. Normal hair. Normal stuff. Stop trying to be different, it makes everyone the same. :lol: The popularity of any given religion today depends on the victories of the wars they fought in the past. - Me!

gunker1991 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Real Goth's under 17 years old do NOT exist..Those are the people who need attention. Now Goth's are not only music,they have their own culture and art.The Devil worshipping just came in there with the music etc.When you get to know them,goths are really nice people. How many 'scapers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?501 to screw it in and 49 to complain how better it was before.Was signed,Kioh Twan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
