Loosing My Religion

[mundens]

No, that’s not mis-spelled.

You scored as Satanism. Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Satanism! Before you scream, do a bit of research on it. To be a Satanist, you don't actually have to believe in Satan. Satanism generally focuses upon the spiritual advancement of the self, rather than upon submission to a deity or a set of moral codes. Do some research if you immediately think of the satanic cult stereotype. Your beliefs may also resemble those of earth-based religions such as paganism. </td> Satanism 100% atheism 63% Paganism 46% agnosticism 46% Buddhism 38% Christianity 17% Judaism 8% Hinduism 8% Islam 8% Which religion is the right one for you?

Well, wasn’t that interesting?

I’m not surprised my atheism score is lower than might be expected. There were several questions that were obviously designed to be agreed to by atheists, but which I don’t agree with such as :

“All life organisms alive today were created through random processes.”

It’s pretty damn obvious that atheists were supposed to agree strongly with this one, but it’s just not true! The universe is completely deterministic, not random, it just appears random because we don’t have perfect knowledge (and theoretically never could have).

Even ignoring the underlying deterministic nature of the universe, organisms were not created following random processes, but via chaotic processes, which is not the same thing.

So, I’m a Satanist who doesn’t believe in Satan. Which is unsurprising, seeing as I’m also a Christian who doesn’t believe in god.

So anyone for a completely secular Black Mass?
Bring your own virgin, my one’s busted.

I totally agree with your assessment of the universe s deterministic and that processes are Chaotic rather than random. No other reason would point to universal constants such as Pi cropping up every-damned-where :)

Yeah - something about you says Satanist without saying Satan.

Two words - weird-ass pigeons. Also, Chihuauas and St Bernards. Selective breeding is breeding still. ;)
