Well met, everyone. I am 22 year old man, husband, father of a wonderful 2 month old baby boy, natural skeptic, an anti theist, and living in the Bible Belt. or as I like to call it, the southern stretch of madness.
I was raised in a Southern Baptist home by a Southern Baptist preacher. By the time I was about 12 years old I realized what utter nonsense that the Abrahamic religions were, and most religions for that matter. All it took was using rational thought, getting in touch with my humanity, and a good dose of great books. I've always been a skeptical person, and now I find it impossible to believe in anything without having a rational reason to. Evidence is everything to me, & I am always in search of truth.
I was introduced to joy of Satan by a coworker, & I must say, I am quite impressed so far. I agree almost 100% with the philosophy around spiritual Satanism, and I'm looking to approach it with an open mind. I do not currently believe in an afterlife, the human soul, or the realm of spirits. That being said, spiritual Satanism is unique so far in that it promises direct experience. Something that I require to believe.I've come here to learn, and hopefully, get the sort of experienceI've always looked for. I've practiced over a dozen forms of spirituality, and none of them have delivered. For some reason though, I feel myself drawn to spiritual Satanism. Spiritual Satanism is also unique to me in that, unlike other spiritual practices or religions, it seems to not only recommend, but almost require skeptical inquiry. That speaks volumes to me. If Satan is a real entity, and of the nature that joy of Satan has led me to believe he is, then it seems obvious to me that he would prefer an honest pursuit of truth from a non believer over the blind acceptance of dogma, and as we all know, blind faith and subjectiveness to the teachings of other mammals is exactly how the xians keep their filthy control over the weak minded.
I promise all of you that I am NOT here to try to convince any of you that Satan is not real, quite to the contrary, I am hoping to become convinced that he is real. I tend to ask hard hitting questions, and I have a very blunt personality, so if I come off as offensive, I apologize ahead of time. My only wish is to find ultimate truth, in whatever form it may take. I pledge to approach this with an open mind, and at the first chance I have, complete the ritual to dedicate my soul, if I have one, to Satan.
Whether or not I end up joining the ranks of Hells Army, I certainly hope to learn from all of you. And if nothing else, one thing that we all have in common here is disgust with the Abrahamic faiths and the lies they put forth. I understand that once I start this path, there is no turning back. But if it turns out to be real, then I would never want to turn back.
Any advice that the more experienced among you, especially if you were atheists yourselves at one point, could give me would be highly appreciated. I look forward to learning more, and I'm excited at the prospect of things to come.
If any of you have any questions for me, feel free to ask. I am an open book, and quite well read in philosophy and religion.
And, I suppose I should end by saying...hail Satan!
