Hey, I'm new to the site. I joined to get a better handle on the Christian-Nonchristian debate, because I tried that on Youtube, and it can be kind of slow-paced. Hopefully here, conversation will flow a bit more. From that, I managed to gain a fair knowledge of Christian theology.

Also, I've noticed an almost polarization between free thought on one side and Christianity on the other in most public forms,maybe because they're traditionally seen as polar opposites. I'm spiritual, but my time as an atheist (today I consider myself a Satanist) did teach me how to evaluate claims, so I hope to play a little devil's advocate (no pun intended) for both sides.

Looking forward to jumping into the fray!

Welcome Munchskreem. These forums can be quite fast passed, and quite informative.

I just gotta hear about this whole Satanism deal.

Hi, welcome to the forum.

I hope you enjoy your stay.

When you say you are spiritual, what do you mean?

Hey, Fallibleone.

It's a very vague, general spirituality, closer to the way a Taoist might describe their beliefs. More of a view of the universe as a totality, and how to connect to that totality experientially, as weird as that sounds. It's really a work-in-progress though.

I'm thinking that may have been in bad taste as you are speaking to a satanist.

Would it be acceptable to tell Christians "May Satan continue to guide you"?

I'd consider it a huge compliment, but my guess is that they would not.

I consider blessings from Christians to be compliments since I know they're in good spirits, though they're not the most appropriate way of complimenting me.
