what religion are you?

[OuTpaTienT]

Obviously you've never read the Satanic Bible. hehe. I haven't read the whole thing, but most of it. Why? Simply because it held great shock-value when I was a teen in high school. It was interesting and completely not what I expected.

As far as I could tell, a Satanist has the same core values as a Secular Humanist might hold. Only difference being the Satanist might have a midnight ritual once every few months where they dance naked around a pentagon and candles. It almost sounds ok to me. They don't actually believe in a character named Satan who is the dark lord of the underworld. Very similar to Wicca, they pay homage to nature as the all-powerful force that creates, destroys, and is responsible for all that is.

if you had some women in that Satan group along with some lemon juice and a bit of tequila you could have a party

Now you're talkin'.

too bad Christianity (also known as the non-sexual religion) says orgies are bad. bah i say!

like the great Apu said "hey everybody......... everybody get naked."

Some Wiccans believe differently, just like some Christians believe differently.
What I believe, may not represent what other believe.
I basically believe in one god/goddess, that is representive of both genders, but more of a mother figure. I don't believe in satan, or hell, but rather reincarnation. I also believe in the power of energy, and directing that energy to do good things.
I believe you should do unto others as you would have done unto yourself.
If anyone is curious about this, and want to ask me questions about it (NOT ATTACK), feel free to PM me or email me. I am very open.
Also, I believe all religions are just different paths to get to the same god..... whether we call god Buddha, God, or if our god is nameless....

Religion is often a way of life, not only a set of rules to go by or a book to read.

I respect your religion, your respect mine

Protestant (OR MORMON)

Now if you had watched any of the news stories that they ran during the olympics you would know not to group the "mormons" with the protestant group.

If you would like to know more about the LDS faith visit the official site of the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints I guess with that said you can figure out what beliefs I follow.

Well now this is interesting Mntsnow..
I must confess I did not watch one minute of the Olympics. But it was because I never remembered to turn on the television while they were on...

I have always thought of the LDS as protestant though.
Protestant being the blanket description of a religious concept being..
Protest. Protest brought about by the rule of the Catholic church.
Protest that bucked at the rules of the ruling Church at that time which forbid memebers from speaking to God for forgivness and forcing them to go through a man, the priest. Protest from the Catholic church that was deeply intermeshed and basically controlled by the King of England. Protest of people that wanted to worship God and His Son, Jesus with out the rules imposed by men they believed that had strayed from the original Christian teachings of Jesus.

I've been to that link before, and went again today...What am I missing? I don't see the varriation of the LDS as being that much different than varriations between Lutheran and Southern Baptist.
Four Square and Methodist. Penecostal and Nazarine.

[Mntsnow]

I just dont believe the church (LDS) considers themselves a "Protest" based faith... thus the meaning behind Protestant doesnt fit
