I believe in God, the Lord Jesus Christ is my savior. I refuse to swallow my beliefs to fit in, and I don't care if anyone disagrees. My God gave all of us free will, so it's none of my business what anyone else believes. My God loves everyone equally, and I love my neighbor because my Lord commands me to. I also believe in science, and education. I just accept them both. I accept that I'm only human and I don't know everything and that's ok.
Huh, looks like FS doesn't know about Satanic Temple. I had thought that someone would get my reference and know that they're actually really nice people who fight for religious freedom and equality, but oh well.

What's Satanic temple?
I'm not judging
I'm only asking
It's an organisation of people who, despite being atheists, fight for equality of religions in the US. As we all know Christianity is very common there. The original thought (or at least that's how I understand it) was that it's nonsense that Christian organisations get so much state funding, compared to other religions that don't get anything, and they call themselves Satanists just because it's a controversial thing to most Christians. They also fight against Westboro which is a noble goal in itself.
Examples of stuff they did: put up a big statue of Baphomet to show that they should have the same freedom of religion as Christians who put up a statue of the 10 commandments some weeks earlier, handed out "Satanic children's books" in schools (which contained the satanic tenets, you should look them up, much more common sense that the 10 commandments), organized a LGBT makeout party on WBC owner's mother grave (I find this one a bit edgy but it was just a big "fuck you" to WBC anyway)

Ill look it up.
But it's not for Devil worshippers or anything of that sort right?
I don't mean to sound ignorant or anything lol
No no, they actually criticize how some Satanists are just edgy cultists, and that the Church of Satan "fetishizes authoritarianism" (got that from the Wikipedia page on The Satanic Temple)

I've learned that before you assume, ask questions first and I'm very happy I asked, you're pleasant to speak with also and thanks for answering my questions so nicely
Ikr, and I'm really glad you asked. It's sad that the common practice here is to assume and downvote instead of asking. Even though nobody here knows The Satanic Temple, I had thought that at least the words "atheistic satanist" might get them intrigued because it probably wouldn't make much sense to the average joe, but apparently I was wrong.

I don't like being confused and I wasn't going to bed like that at all lol that's why I asked and being rude to people doesn't pay off
They'll learn that in the long run, it might not count now but they'll see my brother tells people "karma is a weenie" hahaha but don't pay any mind
Their downvotes exposes their ignorance

What do you call someone who honestly doesn't give a fuck whether a higher power exists in any reality and just wants to explore infinite universes and random points within the 4- dimensional wonders of time and space as the only immortal being to ever exist and fall into deep insanity and delusion for all eternity
I say the image should have another separate group for the people who have actually studied their religion/beliefs for years, and do everything according to what their religion says they should do. Because that is the best anyone can do in this world. If you're not going to influence others, what's the point in life?
Couldn't have said it better.
I am also a believer :)
