Nobody is good, except one, God.

I do not agree or disagree, i merely want some substantiating evidence for your claim
that it is. why dont you provide some?

Don't you have any observations of your own? Do you have nothing to offer on this matter?

If its an unsubstantiated belief or 'observation', as you say FMF then just say so. I do
not think it can be the case, for example what virtue does Satanism have, or what
virtue is there in offering human sacrifice to appease some God because of lack of
rainfall? or the self indulgence of shamans etc

So now you disagree with me? A moment ago you said "I do not agree or disagree".

As far as I know, there is no 'ideal of being good' in Satanism, at least not the same kind of "good" that is at the core of pretty much all religions.

You asked for my thoughts, i have given them, with references, you may make
reference to those, as for your assertions, you have provided no details as to how, why
or what it comprises, despite repeated attempts to ascertain on what it is based, i must
conclude that its naught but another opinion, unsubstantiated and piled up high, bolted
together with assumption and standing high as an edifice to mere opinion! Its not
about you FMF, its about the content of your posts.

so there is no virtue in Satanism and your statement that there is good in all religions is
now false? please let me stand upon this heap of posts and crow like a cockerel in the
morning!

And I have given you my thoughts too. Nothing you have said so far has caused me to alter what I have shared with you about my own observations.

When, at the bottom of the previous page, you said "[you] do not agree or disagree" with my observation, you weren't being entirely straight with me, were you?

But robbie, as you well know, I do not say "there is good in all religions". I said that that the ideal of 'being good' is at the core of pretty much all religions.

You are entitled to think what you want about my observation. I haven't been trying to change your mind. You are reacting to this as if I am trying to impose something on you or trying to persuade you in some way.

I am sorry, did you say assumption? oh dear! we are dealing in assumptions,

bartender will you take my currency, its not really bone fide, its an assumption of value!

why is asking for substantiating evidence obtuse, you have not explained.

Evidence that it is not Bona fide? any? no, if you walk into a bar with currency the barman has to accept it unless he has evidence that it is not Bona fide.

Do you see Robbie, or are you running the blind man scam again?

To be fair to robbie, he has already stated that the teaching of Jesus contradicts my belief that 'being good' is at the core of the Christian religion. Indeed, robbie used the quote that kicked off this thread to substantiate his claim that my view about the position of 'being good' in Christianity was contradicted by Jesus. In fact, I believe it is that exchange that gave rise to this thread.

Be fair to Robbie? I am sorry fmf that does not compute 🙂

Has anyone suggested that the word 'good' might have inadvertently replaced the word 'perfect' during translation?
