I hesitate to ask the obvious, but if the thread is meaningless, why are you commenting in it?
Followup: Do you think that posting a link to the Wikipedia entry for Satan is making some sort of argument in this "meaningless" thread?
BTW, Wikipedia - Satan
The idea was that Satanists, asserting their rights and privileges where religious agendas have been successful in imposing themselves upon public affairs, could serve as a poignant reminder that such privileges are for everybody, and can be used to serve an agenda beyond the current narrow understanding of what “the” religious agenda is.
-Lucien Greaves
The reality is that they are giving power to satan by worshiping him while lying to their conscious.

So would that make them sellout atheist???
It confuses me much as usual.
I'll be more plain, since as usual you are merely playing semantic games.
I'm stating that generic comments, like the one of yours that I initially remarked on, are often nothing more than hypocrisy in action.
If I may be excused a personal comment, since you asked, I've already addressed the fact that all humans are hypocritical at times, some more than others. In general, folks make vague statements, like yours that I tried to engage with reasonably, indicating that only a certain subset of others are subject to human vices ... like hypocrisy.
I am hypocritical at times as are you as is everyone else. That's just a basic observation, no defensiveness.
realy fake outrage over nonevents making muslims fear for their safety locally is setting a good example?
no I do not want to pretend that muslims are so persecuted that they are afraid to go to the store and need some confused person to help them.
I am all for helping out
fyi the police are paid to protect all of us
I hope that the volunteered actions do not become necessary but right now we are looking at a bunch of godless heathens stirring the pot.

Errrr...it appears you might be giving far too much credence to a name? Maybe think about them as sort of a devil's advocate? Or the other half of a conscience? Reminding people that they should consider both sides of an issue before leaning too hard one way.
