Your Friendly Neighborhood Satanist has recently taken flak from a few of this site's more... "devout" members, and wants to make sure he's no longer wrongly perceived and persecuted. So yes, without saying it, The Chillz Master, Your Friendly Neighborhood Satanist, reopens the Satan issue.
FAQ:
Yes I worship Satan as my God. Don't ask obvious questions
Yes I've read portions of Paradise Lost. 2nd best book ever.
No, I don't sacrifice small animals. I'm too nice for that, and that's Hollywood fantasy, further questions and revelations will reveal what Satanism's really about.
And no, I'm not inherently evil.
-Chillz declares this discussion, OPEN! *S-Bob FTW*
Let's see how long until we get it locked. FRANK NO CHEATING!
Yes I've read portions of Paradise Lost. 2nd best book ever.
Okay, it's not really a "book". It has twelve books. It's a poem. The only English epic, because really, The Prelude doesn't count. Author insertion fanfic of real life. Still,I'm glad Paradise Lost was brought up. It is often seen as painting Satan as heroic. What did you think, Chillz?
Now guys, we have to look like we're trying. We're a constructive band of buddies, not some hydralike,many-headed beast, or vultures picking the fun off a still-living but doomed thread, starting with the eyes.
Let's focus on how he read portions of Paradise Lost. Now, in fairness, epics are things you are allowed to read abridged versions of and still earn a literary card. I don't expect anyone to read the entirety of the Mahabharata, even though it's good (so far! I don't have a full translation, though: none exists, last I checked). But come on, Paradise Lost is an important part of your culture. You should read the whole thing.
What discussion? You are rehashing a belief to which the majority of frequent forumers already know. There are more proper Satanism discussions floating somewhere in the WEPR if you wish to revive it with a proper post, but we can't have OPs starting off threads like this. This is discussion of Satanism, but how is it demonstrated? It is opened with FAQs of Satanism questions and declaring a discussion open, but there isn't something to "get it rolling".
