I can deal with Christians, but Creationists I have no tolerance for and will insult furiously.

Food for thought: When was the last you saw an explosion create something?


They created 10 cents worth of diamondss on mythbusters with an explosion

It really didn't create it per say, it more changed one object into another. The diamonds weren't created from nothing in a void.

There was mass before the Big Bang, but it was so condensed that it wasn't anything but a bunch of atoms.

We don't actually have any idea what happened before the big bang. There may or may not have been a universe. We don't have a model to explain the existence of our universe, and it's quite possible we never will.You can read about it here.

Food for thought: When was the last you saw an explosion create something?
This is actually the function of an explosion. An explosion is a sudden and violent conversion of some kind of energy into another. Explosions produce heat, light, sound energy. The combustion reaction frequently produced gas and water. The kinetic side effects of explosions include pressure or shock waves. If these aren't creating something, then I don't really know what you would consider to be creative. From our viewpoint, and explosion may appear to be a form of destruction, like a building collapsing or blasting rock out of a mine, but this is a matter of interpretation. If you consider that planets exist due to explosions of stars, then you may see that explosions can also be a creative force.

I should note that by creative force we're talking about in terms of ordering things from a human perspective. In terms of energy and mass an explosion neither creates or destroys, it converts one form of energy into another.

If Satan punishes evil people then that makes him a good guy.
He'd punish everyone if he could, it's just he's only given bad people.

Once in year 9 i was bored so i created a new religion based on a penguin and a polar bear with lollipops, i had so much time in class (because i do stuffall) that i wrote a 5 page long scroll - which i still have if you want pics - about it, got half the school to join.

this sounds so fun

So, Atheistic Satanism believes that Satan exists but not God.

And since an Atheistic Satan would be exactly like God, but he would be evil, it's just an evil God. And since God is already evil, that just makes you a Monotheist.

Sorry bro.

Absolutely not. Atheistic Satanists don't believe in God or Satan. The name is chosen purely because of what Satan represents-- mainly power and indulgence-- and to pronounce our absolute hatred of Christianity. I believe in doing, thinking, and saying the things that I choose rather than abstaining from them. I believe that power is of utmost importance, dominate those who choose to be weak rather than give them the pity they seek. I will not waste my love on those who do not deserve it, I will hate my enemies and-- if I must-- I will fight for myself and my loved ones rather than act as a coward. I will not bow to any god, I will not seek forgiveness for things I've done wrong, I will worship myself by doing the things that I have to do and forgiving myself when I make mistakes. Life is about each individual person, we are the most important people in our lives, I believe that we should live as such.

So... Its not actually a religion it's liking power and hating religious people?
