Re: What is actually necessary to be a Christian
It all really depends on how this thing works tho. I mean denying god i am sure has been said to be unforgivable (im assuming this is while u are living, once ur dead and come face to face ud have to have some gall to keep telling him he didnt exist), hence us atheists are screwed. If not, then id hope that anyone judging my life would say overall ive probably been a half decent guy.
I dunno if more of us would get in though, possibly as there are fewer extremists that are atheists, and so i spose we're less likely to do anything truly horrific in the name of god.
Now in terms of the topic a true christian is surely one that at the point of becoming christian (taking up the religion and all its beliefs) never knowingly sins again (not a single act that could be deemed bad, lies, slander, swearing etc etc), otherwise ur all just subrate christians that are trying hard.

Satanists dont actually believe in god or the devil (more of a sort of nature red in tooth and claw force). This of course is using the definition of people that follow the documented religion Satanism. All that is really required is a belief in the occult nothing more, and of course agreement with their doctorines (most of which are quite good). In fact when i was looking through all the various religions i found Satanism to be one of the ones that could suit me better, cept i dont believe in the occult, so bang goes that one.

Though Rockhound has already pointed out your error about the Religion satanism, heres the website, can i suggest just looking att the basic beliefs and structure web page in it, u can get a good idea of what its all about. http://www.churchofsatan.com
Like i said i agree with most the ideas, its very do unto others as they do unto you, you are to respect people and their property if you dont expect to be punished.

Re: What true Christains are.
I think that sort of explains what Schraf was getting at. You have convinced yourself that the end doesnt ever come, fear of that end may well be what drove you to find that explaination (you'd be surprised at how many people who say they dont believe in god still believe in an afterlife of some sort)

Do unto others before they do unto you.
