    Trust in and Submit to authority vs trust your own judgment

    There are times for both depending on tons of variables, but the people in authority will always push that first one

      There’s a difference between authority that says “trust in me only” and authorities that consistently earn trust and bring receipts.

      I mean, I fucking hate Authority almost as much as I hate my own judgement

  I like the Church of Satan more than almost any Christian Church.

    If I’m not mistaken the church of Satan is not much better than Christian churches but the satanic temple is great.

      Correct. CoS is basically the libertarianism of religion. TST is a secular humanist group that fights the good fight (in courts) against religious overreach.

  If the devil and the opposite of that existed, even conceptually as ideas, gender wouldn’t be applicable to them in the same way that gender isn’t applicable to fire.

  Likely, what defines a god or the devil, is the social conventions and values you hold. Or, if you want to go the route of a creator, is your own parents, who are neither omnipotent nor omianything because they’re just like you, a meaningless glimpse of an ever-repeating pattern, slowly evolving, with no destiny or fate other than death.

  Want to praise something? Praise being alive at all. Praise other people who are alive, along with you. Demonize the source of the powers that be that make your life worse: fascism. Those are the real powers that corrupt and damn people.

  Go eat and be merry. Stop leaning on tales and hopes of an imagined after-life and wasting the actual-life you have. It doesn’t exist.

  Re-evaluate what it means, here, and now, to be good, right, and wrong. Start with the extremes, challenge those ideas, try to make it make sense. Questioning is not taboo. Being wrong is not taboo.

  Eat cake.
