Now, I've recently gotten into trolling. It's a fine art, I love it in fact. Now, if anyone would like to go trolling, just tell me when, where, and why. And we can assemble a group, whether it be because a group said something you disagree with, or you just love getting under peoples skin. And furthermore, have a great day.
Going out and trolling people for no good reason is not very nice.
Now people who come over and ask for it, on the other hand...

I know I know, I mainly troll those who deserve it, I want to troll for a greater good. But getting people to rage is good practice for the real thing, ya know? :D
None of your reasons for trolling sound like "for the greater good" though. "Someone disagrees with me" shouldn't be reason for trolling. And "love getting under people's skin" should definately not be a reason for trolling.
(Also welcome to the forums, before I forget.)
But.. Hm, yea, I can see where I came off a little.. Stupid there, but hey, wait.. I know this is Athiest forums, but could a Satanist be here as well?
Forum is open to everyone. Whether it'll be a pleasant experience depends mostly on your personal attitude towards reality, though.
What kind of satanist are you?
I myself am a Aesthetic Satanist. And I never argue with anyone over religion, so it wouldn't even be a problem really, live and let live.
Never heard of Aesthetic Satanist before... how does that work?
Well there's Theistic and Aesthetic, in my opinion, which are broken down even more. Deeper into Aesthetic is LaVeyan, now I understand you might not want to read all that, and it's fine. Just consider Aesthetic Satanists to be more.. Relaxed
"LaVeyan Satanism (Aesthetic) is a philosophy (not considered a religion by many of its followers) founded in 1966 by Anton Szandor LaVey. Its teachings are based on individualism, epicurean ism, and "eye for an eye" morality. Unlike theistic Satanists, LaVeyan Satanists are atheists who regard Satan as a symbol of man's inherent nature. According to religioustolerance.org, LaVeyan Satanism is a "small religious group that is unrelated to any other faith, and whose members feel free to satisfy their urges responsibly, exhibit kindness to their friends, and attack their enemies"."
Hm.. Seemed like alot more while I was typing
Ah, I see. I'm somewhat familiar with LeVeyan Satanism, so that at least gives me a basic idea. Like atheists, they have a bad name amongst the "moral" but are really not such bad people for the most part.
(Although I guess the choice in name never did help the satanists. It's silly to name yourself after something that only exists in a religion that you don't believe in.)
(Also, did you mean "Atheistic satanism"? Because Aesthetic means something completely different from Atheist.)
Nah, I meant Aesthetic (I used to be an Athiest :p) it's just a more broad term than LeVeyan. And yea, I don't sacrifice people or animals, any rituals that require blood letting are always.. What's the word I'm looking for, both parties agree to it. And I don't go out and break laws (at least aside from the things a normal teenager does, and maybe more) But overall, I'm a very friendly dude.
Welp, it's 6:39 am, time to sleep. Thank you for welcoming to your site, I appreciate it Plu, and I hope you have a great life (screw just a great day)

:-k
Trolling is just the wimps equivalent of Islamic terrorism. You want to do something for the greater good? Terrorism is where it's at. Then go and spread the goodness and the light. Blow up buildings and kill babies. You will be a hero, and trolling will just be a small spot on the carpet of the greater good.
QuoteWho wants to go trolling with me?
How do you know that we aren't already?
Well, looks like we've got a LaVeyan here, hohoho boy...
LaVeyan Satanists are the worst kind of attention seekers. You honor a religion created by a carnival organist who thought watching people interact at these venues gave him some sort of insight into the human psyche. Let me tell you, I have more insight than he does by working at a fucking grocery store. Your entire religion exists to piss off Christians; a sentiment I can admire, but a practice I cannot. It's a religion of trolls. I hate trolls. :evil:
Welcome, John. I hope you like it here.
Can't you be a Satanist AND an atheist? It sounds like you're being pretty metaphorical, if Satan is just a representation of something else and you don't believe in any gods or spirits, wouldn't you still be an atheist?
WTF! JohnQWolfe , if you don't eat babies we don't want you here. "Used to be an atheist." And now your a mean spirited delusional ass just like the fanatical religious. Give me a break! You're a troll in wolfs clothing and nothing more. :twisted: Solitary
Trolling isn't an art. It's a colossal waste of time. I can piss off more people without even trying then you ever could by pretending to be an asshole. It's like in What About Bob? when he pretended to have Tourette's syndrome. "If I fake it, then I don't have it." You're afraid you're an asshole and nobody likes you, so you act like an asshole and then when nobody likes you, you can tell your self that they only hate you because you were pretending to be an asshole. That's what's trolling is. Lying to yourself because you aren't pretending.

This might ring truer than many people dare to admit. I like it.

Okay... So you guys do consensual bloodletting rituals, apparently for no other reason than being a Satanist? And you don't even believe?
And you want to go and make fun of christians?
I enjoy the philosophy of Gandhi but that does not make me a Hindu. As for the trolling part, unless its Xbox Live I try to stay away from that. Trolling is for those who cannot win an outright argument with their intellect. I used to troll quite often until I figured out that making someone look like an idiot is much more of a challenge when you actually beat them into a mental submission. I rather someone say to me "Whatever, I don't care.", than "OMG YOU'RE SO ANNOYING PLEASE LEAVE." Because I know I won the first one and the second one I was just being annoying. Those who troll are the ones who do not have the smarts to win a debate any other way.
I like my trolls where they belong. Under a bridge.
