defining the atheist life....

[AProudLefty]

because denying the existence of deity is part of the real definition of atheism......

Theism is a belief in God. A-theism is a lack of belief in God. No denial here.

nice.....go start a thread about it somewhere.....

I am pretty positive there have already been a few old, old threads about it. I guess I can start another one.

sorry.....atheists deny the existence of deity.....denial is what distinguishes them from agnostics.......atheists want to redefine the term because they want to continue to call themselves atheists yet were embarrassed about how stupid it looked to say it is wrong to believe something that cannot be proved while saying "there is no god"........you can pretend all you want but it doesn't change anything.......it just makes you look stupid.....

The satanic bible started out as a spoof on the catholic church but their virtues somehow fit with my philosophy.

The Nine Satanic Virtues

1. Intelligence
If stupidity is the cardinal sin to avoid, intelligence is surely a virtue. A Satanist would have a natural thirst for knowledge.

2. Competency
Pride doesn't become pretension if you deliver the goods and accept responsibility for your path.

3. Acceptance
Remain keenly aware that you are strange to the herd and expect no understanding from them, even regarding rudimentary facts.

4. Self-Awareness
If you meditate on yourself, you can accept what the animal in the mirror is. Change that which is malignantly undesirable and keep what works, but if you fool yourself into thinking you could be something you're clearly not, you are set up for failure.

5. Individuality
Build an intellectual self-defense. Use it to remain unwillingly manipulated.

6. Perspective
It's part and parcel of acceptance, but on a more social level. Work on seeing the broad picture of human interactions and how others may view things. This is natural intuition.

7. Appreciation of History
Regardless of field, a key to any success will be being able to identify historical patterns.

8. Pragmatism
This is part and parcel of self-awareness, but like perspective, on a broader level. If you know your limits and abide by them, you won't be fooled by an idyllic version of reality. This requires vigilance.

9. Refined Aesthetics
Use aesthetic judgment to enhance your understanding of the world and get what you want out of it.

You are easily one of the stupidest persons on the forum. You write at an 8th grade level.
