Lesson number one:

Satanists do not believe in a literal Satan/Devil.

There is no conflict of dogma as there is no dogma is Satanism per se.

"Think twice and then explain to me why you consider Satanism like you described it."

1) I have read all of Anton LaVey's books pertaining to Satanism.
2) That is how Anton LaVey himself decribes Satanism.
3) Upon reading any of his work it becomes apparent very quickly that Satanism is not meant to be taken as literally as some christians take it.
4) Chapter for turning into a werewolf?
5) Chapter on how to perform a convincing Satanic ceremony for the benefit of your Christian visitors?
6) How to keep a straight face when performing the ceremony?

EDIT:

Besides, it's more fun than voting for Buddism, some forms of which are quite Atheist themselves.

I'm wondering if it's particularly wrong to have lewd thoughts about Trance Gemini. I mean, she is definitely legal (By several million years) but all that cute stuff makes me woonder... and worry...

Exaggerate to make what you do sound intellectual:

Use the internet? "I run and maintain my own website about..." I picked Sagat from SFII because he's my favourite character so I knew that if asked I could reel off lots of facts to make it sound like I was serious.

Play Games? "I make maps and mods for...." I picked UT, which I do map for so I was only half lying but even if I was not a mapper I could still blag it because I play it obsessively and know what I like in a map (And therefore what makes a good map).

Get the picture?

I think satan just got sick of losing arguments with Socrates and company.

If anyone doubt that Monopolies will cause a problem in the future I suggest they look at Russia now.

ooh, springy and old in the same sentence; this cant end well!

Fat American Monsters because with some encouragement and confidence boosting they could slim down a little, whereas Gills are.... gills...

"I personally would question a woman's ability to kill and hurt, as generally speaking women are more emotional, sensitive and aware of others' feelings than men are."

And generaly speaking women are capable of being unimaginably ruthless and cruel.

"Even amidst a adrenalin rush, a woman may double-take or question herself in a kill situation, and that split-second may make all the difference."

Womens brains work differently to mens. Men are single minded, able to put vast amounts of concentration onto one thing, women can do this with three things, AND they are much stronger in a psycological sense.

"Men are better at hardening themselves to be able to kill in n emotionally-detached way,"

Almost right: They are not emotionally detatched, at the end of the day it comes down to "If I don't kill them they'll kill me and my friends"

"women are mentally 'weaker' in that they more often let their emotions get in the way of their ability to fight effectively."

I have never known a woman let her emotions get in the way of anything ever, and I certainly wouldn't call them mentally weak.

To be honest you have described my mother, who is a clinical nutcase, perfectly. But that is all, I have never ever met a woman who I would call pschologically weak, if anything they have a stronger presence of mind than men.
Look at it this way: When was the last time you heard of a woman "going postal"?
