awwww nan
awwww i think i may get all teary, lol
actually, believe it or not u got me very much interest in religions,
which is one of my major past times now
and gave me a real appreciation for very misunderstood religionsI never found the Christian religion worked for me,but i was partly brought up by the church, so i just went. I tried the whole blindly believeing, but it just didn't work for me, I didn't believe or feel the things that we were supposed to believe or feel.In the end it's all been good seeing as I have to very pagan friends, and i understand them much more after they told me they were and told me about their faith, and I have found a faith that works for me. I can't tell my grandparents... my mom thinks im insane (ironic as she is the one off her rocker) and ... well my dad is cool with it. My grandfather is a pastor of sorts and think everything is evil -rolls eyes-. I get in trouble because I start debates with him about loop holes in the Christian religion. Mom says im stressing his bad heart.Oh well, took some time to find my niche in here, i tend to make a scene on new sites then snuggle on in... not sure why... ah well ^_^Oh nan, actually can u do me a favor somewhere... or someone told me there are like 9 basic principles to being a satanist... not quiet principlesone was like 'if someone strikes against u once, turn the other cheek, it they do it again, defend urself'... or depending on whose telling u 'kill them' lol in a joking non-relastic sense, no worriesu wouldnt happen to have those would ya, or know of a site
or am i dreaming?u can email me the info or post, whichever u wanna

Silver, you must be thinking of the following, from *The Book of Satan* by Anton LaVey:"Hate your enemies with a whole heart, and if a man smite you on one cheek, SMASH him on the other..." III:7Modern Satanists don't condone murder, because to do so in a civilized society is stupid -- and stupidity is the Number 1 "sin" in Satanism. If one is not prepared to face the consequences of one's actions, then one is not a Satanist. However, responsible retribution is not only condoned, but expected. Because the person who smites you first, had damn well better be prepared to face the consequences of such an action. Satanists do not "turn the other cheek."-- Nanaea
