if i beleived in god i'd be a satanist, becasuse he stuffed absolutely EVERYTHING up about life, were selfish and stupid, childbirth is painful, brushing teeth everyday is a must if you want to live a happy life, we discriminate, we judge people by looks(most of us at least) and that mayt not be much but if he has infinite power and wisdom and stuff, he stuffed it all up, it all fits the bill of evolution really if you think about it
people are selfish? You don't see the need to fix people as God has
done in Christ as a good thing, you wish to blame God for the evil that
Satan and people do.

Just wondering if satanists believe in God or if they have something against him!

What does it matter if satanists believe that God exists or if satan exists? I mean, if the do believe that God exists or that satan exists they are decieved because they think they are on the better side or the winning side. If they don't believe that either God or satan exist they are still decieved and will wind up in the same predicterment. Either way it is a loose/loose situation.

"Realistically, the Satanic code of behavior is based on human nature as it is and thus comes naturally to most people who have not been deeply indoctrinated in anti-life and anti-rational belief systems. It is a fact that many people today call themselves Christians but really have no clear concept as to what that philosophy fully entails, so they generally behave in a Satanic fashion. We think that it is high time that this is recognized and that people call themselves what they truly are, not what is socially convenient for them.
As you can see, there are no elements of Devil worship in the Church of Satan. Such practices are looked upon as being Christian heresies; believing in the dualistic Christian world view of “God vs. the Devil” and choosing to side with the Prince of Darkness. Satanists do not believe in the supernatural, in neither God nor the Devil. To the Satanist, he is his own God. Satan is a symbol of Man living as his prideful, carnal nature dictates. The reality behind Satan is simply the dark evolutionary force of entropy that permeates all of nature and provides the drive for survival and propagation inherent in all living things. Satan is not a conscious entity to be worshipped, rather a reservoir of power inside each human to be tapped at will. Thus any concept of sacrifice is rejected as a Christian aberration—in Satanism there’s no deity to which one can sacrifice."
- Peter H. Gilmore, current head of the Church of Satan
