Aliens want to communicate and they decide to use you and your personality as the base model for all humans. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

    My point was, maybe they should call it Paganism or something like that. Satanism doesn’t really bring much to the table (as a term) IMO.

      That’s fair. If you decide you want to identify your religion as Pagan, you are free to do so. It is much less fitting for our beliefs, tenets, and morals than Satanism, but may be a better fit for your beliefs.

      Bro. You don’t think that having to label a “rational, scientific, humanistic worldview that fights against superstition and ignorance” as SATANIC makes a point?

      You gotta remember the Satanic church started in like the 50s or 60s in the USA when the tone of the country was even more overtly religulous than it is now. It’s an aggressive reaction to craven stupidity. Murica, don’t tread on me, that sort of thing.
