    If you'd care what I wrote and what you wrote... You statement did not contain an 'if', but ok, I'll grant you the ellipse. I said in the course of this thread, for the sake of the argument, that certain evils can - possibly - be cool, because you prematurely equated evil with 'not cool'. I further made no claim or alluded that any evils were not cool, so allegations of contradictions on my side are unfounded. I certainly did not mean to appear to say that I don't find killing cool (nor did I make explicit claims about the opposite) so I insist on the right to consider myself to be called a potential (since we allowed for the ellipsis) 'sick puppy'.

    I beg your pardon. I still think setting out with a negative premise is a bad idea. There's an old Roman proverb about not setting out to destroy someone for the sake of it because in the end you don't win, you just destroy your reason for living. Come up with the principles of your religion, then if it goes against Christianity oppose it. Don't start with Christianity and build a religion based on the opposite.
    No one said anything about destroying Christianity (I urge you again not to jump to conclusions). As far as I know, did neither LaVey nor any official representative of the Church of Satan ever call for the destruction of any religion, nor did they state that that would be the purpose of their cult. Again, the opposition is purely philosophical in nature. You could say Christianity was the inspiration for Satanism. Just like various other religions were inspirations for Christianity.

    I'm not PC I just don't sse a reason to use words that insult people for fun.
    It's impossible not to offend people. What you said in this thread might be offensive to a lot of people, for example the advocates of young dogs fallen to ill-health.

    Seems to me the only reason Satan is cool is because he is outcast and looked down on.
    You only say that to hurt satanists.
