This all started when we were in Socialogy Class talking about religion and how mankind created a God to keep civilization in order... well after our disscussions I started to think.
Why do I have to believe in a God that doesn't always answers your prayers, that sometimes completely ignores you, and punishes mankind for their negligence. I think that we shouldn't suffer to get closer to god. You know what I mean.
I know that HAPINESS is not really real. Yes you might say I'm wrong but think about it, for a second. What doess hapiness mean to you, what does it mean for me, what does it mean for somebody else.
Life doesn't necessarily a happy ending. (and know I do not wish to commit suicide.)
I'm just saying that HAPINESS is not working out for me.
Well the purpose of this post is mostly what I think religion sometime represents for all of us. First off I don't mean to offend anyone when I say this.... Religion is for idiots.
That out of the way ... Do you every wonder your existence? Well you should because that is a question that will never be figured out in our lifetime. No one knows the answer to that.
Im getting to my topic hold on....
recently I met this guy that is a Satanist (but it's not like the say in the movies, he does't go around sacraficing people and causing trouble).
What is Satanism,
Satanism is a direction and a school of religious beliefs that comprise a number of related ideologies and philosophical beliefs and social phenomena. They share the feature of symbolism, traditions, veneration or admiration of Satan and/or similar figures or personifications of powers or ideologies.

Now that you know what is Satanism, do you get where i'm going with this?
Well what do you think Christianity is?
Well Christianity is a monotheistic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth as presented in the New Testament. Christianity comprises three major branches: Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy (the two split from one another in 1054 A.D.), and Protestantism (which came into existence during the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century). Protestantism is further divided into smaller groups called denominations.
Most Christians believe Jesus is the Son of God, God having become human and the savior of humanity. Christians, therefore, commonly refer to Jesus as Christ or Messiah.
Adherents of the Christian faith, known as Christians, believe that Jesus is the Messiah prophesied in the Hebrew Bible (the part of scripture common to Christianity and Judaism and referred to as the "Old Testament" in Christianity). The foundation of Christian theology is expressed in the early Christian ecumenical creeds, which contain claims predominantly accepted by followers of the Christian faith. These professions state that Jesus suffered, died, was buried, and was resurrected from the dead to open heaven to those who believe in him and trust him for the remission of their sins (salvation). They further maintain that Jesus bodily ascended into heaven where he rules and reigns with God the Father. Most denominations teach that Jesus will return to judge all humans, living and dead, and grant eternal life to his followers.

Ok, so let me ask you something. Do you consider yourself to be a Christian? if you do have you ever felt like thing weren't going as you planned and wish there was a out, well that happened to me, I did try to kill myself but i was stopped. it might surprise you to know that the one that saved me was my satanist friend instead of my christian friends. you see the they just wanted to get me to seek medical help and take medication, they didnt want to know my problems.
Well my Satanist friend (who I will call "Fred") on the other hand Freaked me out because He Said " Don't give up on your God, just because your Life is a mess, just fix it yourself, and you will see that everything will be okay." OKay you see why I am confused about this...
The Christians I know only want to put me away, while the only Satanist I know tells me something that makes sense.
Makes you wonder if somewhere along the way, Christians got their wires crossed.
