People who really...

[songsmith]

Not to get involved, but the Naked Archaeologist is not accepted in the scientific community at all. He's what's known as a Velikovskian (sp?), or someone who filters all his "data" through the Old Testament, and Judaism. He's misdirected, ignored accepted science, and outright lied on nearly every single show, and it is a SHOW. Watch his show... he allows scientists to tell the truth, then ignores it, and wonders at how accurate his religion is.
Sorry, fellas, faith is the evidence of things not seen, it requires a leap... of faith. Science is evidence of things observed, and requires... proof.--->JMS

Believe whatever you want, we'll all find out the truth someday and I'd rather be in the position that I am as opposed to the position some people are.

Does this mean you are religious "just in case"?

This is a serious question, and please don't be offended. Sometimes things don't come across right on the internet. I know that some people are just playin it safe. I just couldn't do that.

On a lighter note:

I've always wanted to test this "freedom of religion" thing.
Anyone want to go knock on doors and ask people to join the church of satan? I wonder how "FREE" we would be to do that?

Damn straight brother, I agree!
...."just in case" LOL no offense anyone, but to me that's funny!

And yeah there is no freedom of religion, but some like to think there is.

No, I don't know how you could take that from my statement. I know the truth, that is why I have faith. Life is more than a coincidence. Everything has meaning and explanation. My statement was better than getting "preachy". I feel bad for those who refuse to have an open heart and willing mind to serve God. Have you ever said "What if I'm wrong?"

As far as your other question, this is directly from the so called "church" you speak of;

"The Church of Satan does not solicit membership. Those who wish to affiliate can become a Registered Member for a one-time registration fee of two hundred dollars ($200) in United States currency. Affiliates receive a red card declaring them as a member of the Church of Satan to other members"

I'd rather believe in what I see and know for myself than blindly follow anything, ever.

I feel bad for anyone who is willing to blindly serve.

The "Then We'll all know the truth" you included yourself when you said "WE". "YOU'LL" all know the truth would have made more sense to me, but prolly would have made you look like an arrogant asshole so I understand why you said what you did.

That church of satan paragraph oddly resembles a solicitation. haha

I'm just saying if I were trying to recruit people door to door or had a television show on public access or something like that, i would probably get arrested/institutionalized.

You must admit, that there are people like that though. Like I said i hope your not offended, and if you are I apologize.

Let me just preface this by saying that I'm not trying to start something here. I'm just trying to understand. I hope that this doesn't lead to a lock.

You proudly serve something that you only know through faith and a book written over 2000 years ago. How does that even make any sense? Logic and religion do not go together.

[DickShackBass]

I do give you kudos for standing up for what you believe and not backing down about it.

Very cool of you to end your post with the above statement Brian. I know you'll be respected because of it.

[witchhunt]

How many people have you ever met who claim they believe in Satan but not a Christian God? How friggin' stupid is that?

[CCdrums]

I, like R. Reihardt, proudly serve God through faith and base my belief on a book written over 2000 years ago. So do millions of Christians all over the world. It makes perfect sense to me. Once I became aware of what faith in Christ is all about, and the gift of salvation through believing in him, it just became crystal clear to me. It completely changed my life for the better and I'm not ashamed to admit it. For those who don't believe, don't understand or refuse to have faith or belief in anything that doesn't fit into human logical understanding, I can only say that I understand because I was that way once too, but I pray that somehow they will come to know Christ before they pass away. I promised myself I wouldn't get "preachy" and I'm not trying to be that way or cram my beliefs down anyone's throat. I just feel it's an important enough of a topic for me to stand up and be counted for what I believe in. That's it.....I'm definitely out of this thread now. Thanks for reading this post.

1. 99% of human and chimp DNA matches.

2. People who, like, say like at least three times in, like, every sentence.

3. Old guys, (my age) who wear Vietnam hats and medals and have never been past the coast of California. They also drive old mini vans or custom vans from the nineties, are on disability, and know the answer to every problem that plagues mankind.

[witchhunt]

I had to borrow this one from Carlin.
21 These guys who walk around with one of those hands-free cell phones clipped to their ear. I say "Hey spaceman, since both hands are free, why don't you reach over here and fondle my balls a while."
22 People who give their kids alike sounding names. I worked with someone whose girls were named Teesha, Tessa, and Tricia.
23 People who buy purebred dogs with papers and give them names like..Sir Reginald Lawrence Smails of Bushwood.
24 People who sing The National Anthem and drag it out till it's actually agonizing.
25 Guys with Toyota pickups who peel the TO and the TA of of the tailgate so it reads YO.
26 People who form words while they're belching.

[whitedevilone]

1- People who think they can tune by ear on stage.Get over it,Boss makes a kick ass tank for 80 bones and this ain't Woodstock.

2-People who justify playing awful songs cause the bassline is a "little"groovy...............crazybitch comes to my mind.

3-People who can't play in time.

[HarleyRo1]

People who say: fersay...what is that? It's not a word!

Huh? Use it in a sentence.

The person uses the non-word fersay instead of using the words - "what do you say if we go this route"....instead, they say "fersay we go this route" WTF?

[orangekick]

How can they believe in Satan and not God? They're both characters in the same story. A belief in Satan automatically validates a belief in a Christian God.

Thanks for taking the time to try and quantify your beliefs for me. I don't think that you got too preachy at all. I just really feel that what I believe shouldn't concern you or anyone else. I have made my decisions in life and they have been further solidified by the things I have seen and experienced throughout my life. I hope that I never come to "know Christ" because that would be failure in my eyes for me personally. It's totally cool with me if you believe, as long as you leave me alone to believe what I believe.

Dig?

There are some real legitimate complaints and observations on here. I agree with a good many of them, and I've witnessed them also. Some people really have no clue as to what they do or who they affect while doing it.

Damn Scott, we actually agree on something. I've been saying the same thing for years. I hate, hate, hate live tuning!

For the record, though, Satanists don't believe in Satan as an actual being. Satanism is all about worshipping oneself; it's kind of like Ayn Rand's wet dream. Anton LaVey should have picked a better name for his religion/philosophy, because any sensible person knows that people are going to associate Satanism with devil worshipping; but LaVey was also like the ultimate uber-goth, which means he was neither as smart nor creative as he thought he was.

[EyesOfAnguishbassist]

I hate when somebody at a show asks me to use my stuff. Theres always exceptions but it mostly just makes me mad. Especially when its a touring band that plays all the time. How the hell do you practice? Yes I'd love to have you use my stuff and have the possiblity that you could break it and never see me again. Obviously if you can't buy your own equipment you won't pay me the money to fix mine if you break it. I used to let people borrow it but the more and more I do it the less I let people borrow my stuff even if I do come off as a dick. Pretty much nobody uses my stuff now unless their a real close friend and would do the same for me. A few weeks ago we played with a band on Victory records that was on a full on tour and their bassist asked me to use my bass......... after stating that the reason he didn't have one was because he snapped the neck off. I let him use mine but it was the most uncomfortable 30 minutes of my life.

There's no excuse in the world for playing Crazy Bitch. Such an awful song.
