Do satanists believe in God?

Of course! And Alistair Crowley was just a plain old-fashioned nutjob!

I think that if you would look in the mirror, you'd discover that you're the nut-job!

I must admit, I do enjoy the 11 Satanic Rules of Earth, especially the final one:

When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.

Now there you go. You've got 1 of the eleven down, so think/reflect about the other 10, and you'll, too, become one of us!

You be a statanist, because you have to brush your teeth, and that
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.

Basically you have a non-argument. god and jesus are non-existent or false. i would believe in god IF stupid christians would acknowledge that god is both good_AND_evil.

You're right: seeing is believing!

Yes, Satanism is very intriguing. And is more logical and attactive once you have freed yourself from superstitious christian/religious thought.

So what is so attractive about it? What has it done for you? Give us your best sales pitch.

Becoming a satanist and freed me from the superstitiousness of christianity. I have become liberated from stupidity. Becoming a satanist has brought me in touch with what we all are--animals--and thus I finally have rid myself of the guilt that christians feel when just being themselves: egotistical, pursuing pleasure avoid pain.

But why does one have to become a satanist to be "freed" from Christianity? I thought those who rejected Christianity, for whatever reason, were free from it?

Also, what do you think of people like Mother Theresa and Christ? Were they fools? Is serving others ahead of your own desires foolish?

no, you don't have to be a satanist. the ideal position is to be FREE from ANY religion! Regarding your other question: mother theresa was just as egotistical as you and me. she did what she did because it made HER feel good. as for christ: he was a brilliant, but demented lunatic.

When i say satanist i mean someone who believes that satan will destroy the kingdom of God and therefore is trying to get power for themselves by being evil

If that was your definition, then why did you bother asking the question in the first place? Christ, child, do some thinking before you blather on here.

Sounds like you are describing a satanist not a christian!!!

No it doesn't. The word has various meanings. The only people I know of who label themselves Satanists do not believe in the devil or God.

So what is the added benefit to being a satatnist if you do not have to be one in order to be "free" from Christianity?

Also, it sounds is if Mother Theresa, in your mind, was just as "free" as you. How could this be so since she was a woman of faith?

Your post implied you thought Mother Teresa was "serving others ahead of her own desires". That is not the case. She desired to serve God (probably to get into heaven or a combination of similarly selfish reasons). In fact, it was more important to her to convert people to Christianity than to serve them.
She was not free of Christianity because she incorrectly believed that what she was doing would benefit her. If I put a gun to your head and say I will shoot you unless you do what I tell you, you are both free to disobey me and not free (imprisoned by your fear) at the same time.
