3, but by circumstance and coincidence..
My interest is strictly musical. I listen to the music I listen to for purely auditive pleasure.



>7. What do you think about satanism / satan worship?
>Unacceptable 1 2 3 4 5 Acceptable

..Retarded



>8. Why?

If you don't believe in/worship God, why would you believe in/worship Satan?
I might not agree with the man-made establishment that is christianity or organized religion altogether, but I do believe in respect and in treating others as you'd have them treat you. I certainly do not stand by any of the ways of satanism. ..it's just another man-made, organized, piece of jargon that brainwashes people and to me it's even more psychologically and socially 'wrong' than the others.



>9. What do you think about highly conservative Christians or fundamentalist
>Christians?

It would be a 5 if they kept to themselves and were happy practicing their stuff etc..
and a 1 (unacceptable) when they forcibly act on others in any kind of way (from wars to simply pressuring others to convert)
Despite the fact that many of them might have good intentions and 'good hearts' I must make the general statement that they're
Ignorant and simple-minded



>10. Why?

They accept what the organized church gives them as rules 'from god' and in general tend to be ignorant about many things and facts while stubbornly and avidly arguing their base-less arguments.

That I know personally? Noone really.. perhaps 1

Religion isn't everything, it and its subject can be put aside



>Thank you for answering!

1
7. what do you think about satanism / satan worship?
1
8. why?
no relation at all with reality, superstitious beliefs grounded in desire for rebellion and a need to shock, or wish-wash melting pot of the most disparate esoteric traditions
9. what do you think about highly conservative christians or fundamentalist christians?
2
10. why?
the very few points that might affect society in a (supposedly) ethical way are buried under loads of prejudice, misconceptions, just plain backward thinking. plus being a fanatic means you do away with rational thoughts

3. Are you Christian? no

5. Do you listen to extreme (death, black) metal? yes
6. On a scale of 1-5 how much do you relate / agree with the message it stereotypically conveys? 1

7. What do you think about satanism / satan worship? 1

8. Why? Because, being non-religious by having studied religion as long as I did (1st-5th grade religous school, including two bible studies a week during that whole time) I founded my own belief that no written text or belief would correctly prescribe a method for worshiping a devine being if one were to actually exist. My point, that belief in either is quite silly. Gods and religions change and grow as culture do, and there is no "right" religion or philosophy. Having people fight over it and argue who is more correct is much like two kids in a sandbox arguing who's dad is better.

9. What do you think about highly conservative Christians or fundamentalist Christians? 2.5

10. Why? Because many people need something to believe in, that it gives solid moral ground to some who actually would be worse off without it. In rare being very conservative can be harmful, but in most circumstances it is not.

7. What do you think about satanism / satan worship?
3

8. Why?
I am against satan worship (who is he anyway??i have never seen him neither i have seen god) but as an aspect of ideology i like satanism. I am against religion. And I think that satanism in not a religion (it's only for those that worship the so-called satan). For me satanism is an anti-religion cause it fights christianity, in other words it fights a religion. Other than that, i really don't care about it a lot.

9. What do you think about highly conservative Christians or fundamentalist Christians?
1

10. Why? Because I think they are weak people together with all religious people (I dont have any particular problem with Christians, but i have with highly conservative generally religious ones)
