Dude. It's really quite simple. Some people on this planet have the intellectual abilities of bricks. Very stupid bricks, at that. Do you really think your power with words is so magnificent that you can sway simply ANYBODY? No? Then why try to sway people that from your posts appear to be the dullest knives that any drawer has ever held? It's frustrating enough when you cannot convince someone in a reasonably equal-footed, intelligent debate, so I really don't see why you would even *try* with a bunch of retards who consider "dere nobs lol" a valid argument. I mean, DOH. I've accepted a long time ago that many people are just too dullwitted to even concern myself with. Yes, that is extremely elitist and no, I don't have any problems with that.
As for Dron_Cah's question on Satanism: according to believers, Satanism has nothing to do with worship of the Christian devil; in fact most Satanists consider the "invention of the devil" to be a hoax intended to frighten people. So the term is a bit misleading. Satanism (as far as I know, of course) entails a faith in yourself, rather than in any external higher beings. Often Crowley's law (you can look that one up on Google, I'm not an encyclopaedia
) "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law" is cited as a primary tenet of the faith, sometimes with the addition "as long as it harms none".
There are only a few bad apples in the basket, Black Satanist type people, who have gotten notorious for orgies and bloodfests.
Hope that helps.
