Something that was probably instilled by their parents. About as rational as paralleling the belief in Zeus to that of an atheist.
Everyone is an atheist, it's just that some still cling to one last god of their particular choosing because of where and when they were born, and who pounding that particular dogma down their throat.
Wow, did you actually read anything above or are you so blinded by your own beliefs that you just cherry-picked what you wanted to argue with.
I mean, I can agree with some of what you said, to repeat what I said in my
second freakin' sentence I'm a Deist not a Christian but really now, really now, did you have to word your opinions like that?
NO ONE here was up-in-arms over their faith,
NO ONE here was trying to indoctrinate someone else,
NO ONE here even really cared what other people's opinions were, this was just a fun discussion started by the topic of satanism in the modern world.
Please, I don't care if you're an Atheist or Scientoligist, or what have you but don't come barging in to a friendly discussion to tell everyone that they're wrong and stupid and need to stop believing in some silly millennia old book. If you have something of relevance to add to the topic then please do so, just remove your char-tinted-glasses first so you actually know what we're talking about.

Hail Stan.
