i'm an agnostic. i would do it if it was only for the religion.
but since there's some BDSM aspect to it, the payment would have to be higher.

See, what you're too thick to grasp here is that everytime someone posts an effective counter-argument, you write it off as a troll.
I'd love to see you try that in court.

Defense Counsel: "Your honor, my client couldn't possibly have shot the victim, as he has no arms."

Law the Horribly Shitty Lawyer: "YOUR HONOR! THE DEFENSE COUNSEL IS TOTALLY TROLLING ME! MAKE HIM STOP!"

I hope you can truly grasp how worthless your opinion on my impending career is to me.

I don't care. Enjoy your impending mediocrity.

Cheers, I certainly intend on enjoying my impending success.

Then you're in for a staggering disappointment.

I really can't see myself being disappointed with success. Keep trying though.

He sure seems to have a lot of pent up negativity inside.

Possibly, or maybe something deeper. It's usually that way for people who use internet forums as a form of outlet for constant negative expression.

Chomsky:
Do I believe in God? Can't answer, I'm afraid. I'm not being flippant, but I don't understand the question. What is it that I am supposed to believe or not believe in? Are you asking whether I believe there is something not in the universe (or the universes, if there are (maybe infinitely) many of them), and that somehow stands above them? I've never heard of any reason for believing that. Something else? What?

There are many concepts of spirituality, among them, various notions of divinity developed in the Judaeo-Christian-Islamic religions. Within these the concepts vary greatly. St. Augustine and others, for example, argued that one should not take seriously the Biblical account of God as an exaggerated human, and other Biblical accounts, because they were crafted so as to make the intended message intelligible to humans -- and on such grounds, he argued, organized religion ought to accept persuasive conclusions of science ... without clarification of a kind I have never seen, I don't know whether I believe or don't believe in whatever a questioner has in mind.

Einstein:
I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings.

Spinoza:
Whatsoever is, is in God, and without God nothing can be, or be conceived.

You should really read something into the fact that you're being backed up by the biggest moron on the board. And the Psych 101 amateur crap is hilarious, Drs. Fraud and Dung.

Yeah, I'd do it. And I don't see why some religious people wouldn't, either. Buddhist, Catholic, whatever. If your heart isn't in the ritual, then how can your soul be? So long as a religious person didn't agree with what the Satanists were doing, even if they lied and said they did, I'd figure their soul would be safe.

But I'm not even religious. Actually, I think I'm somewhere between Agnostic and Deist. Satan is just a scare tactic conjured up to frighten religious people into adhering to the tenants of their religion.

I was brought up Christian, fortunately by attending a church that focused more on the morals suggested by the bible rather than the more literalist approach. So when I decided I didn't believe in Christianity, it wasn't like I forsook all of the morals I was taught. "Thou shalt not kill," seems like a pretty good idea any day of the week, after all.

But all that doesn't make me a Christian, as Ryoki would imply.

Kracus and Law going back and forth is almost like a Socratic dialogue. This is good stuff.

We shall publish it as "Writings of Q3W". The theatrical release will be in production soon thereafter.

I'm thinking we should step this up a little bit. What if the satanic ritual also included a time share presentation?

No pressure.

do you lose the 2 grand if you burst out laughing hysterically when the grand satan poobah comes out wearing a felt cap adorned with massive elk antlers?

time shares aren't just for the living anymore
