I like the argument that Satanism isn't a religion because it doesn't worship a god because Satan isn't a god. heh. -- nm - oblique Jul 7, 07:36 27
- You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it. -- nm - Satan Jul 7, 07:54
- so Buddism is not a religion either? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 7, 07:47
- He should probably switch to Hadesism then -- nm - hotkiss7348 Jul 7, 07:39

    - As a child, I wore a Buddhism necklace with a swastika and kids at school always called me a Nazi worshiper. - hotkiss7348 Jul 7, 07:42 9
      - and when I see you I see a Nazi Sympathizer? - Mel Profit Jul 7, 07:47 7
        
        I had no idea, until this thread, that the swastika had a non-Nazi meaning. - ty97 Jul 7, 07:48 5
        
        It was referenced in a recent movie - decline Jul 7, 07:54
        
        I didn't either. -- nm - kelly Jul 7, 07:51
        
        it's a fairly ancient symbol from what I remember. - Mel Profit Jul 7, 07:51 1

        It's so universailly reviled now, you really can't wear it and expect people not to react. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 07:49
        
        To be fair, that particular symbol is impossible to take back now. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 07:48
      - very very good point. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 7, 07:44
    - Basically this. Satanists adopted it as an anti-Christ thing. But the Bible does talk about Paul and his reasoning. -- nm - sycor Jul 7, 07:41 3
      - Um, Cracked talks about Paul and his reasoning, not the Bible. Two different things. (They cite Wikipedia, actually.) -- nm - mara Jul 7, 07:44

        You sure about that? I remember learning it as a child in Church. -- nm - sycor Jul 7, 07:59
    - true but by the sounds of it...St Paul got there first. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 7, 07:41 3
      - Shotgun! -- nm - St Paul, seeing the upside down cross Jul 7, 07:41 2
        
        I don't know why but I just snarfed at this. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 7, 07:43
        
        well shit, guess it's the baseball bat afterall -- nm - Satan Jul 7, 07:42
