“Are religious societies better? Cannibals and Satanists, perhaps not, but it’s a tough call. Orthodox Jews, Quakers, Mennonites, probably yes.”
Well Jacob it’s just such a coincidence that you’d say that, because I am a cannibal satanist! Cool, right?
Anyway, the reason I bring it up is you say that Orthodox Jews and the like have better societies, but you are a jew, aren’t you? (There’s probably a bias or something there, I dunno). But since I think (to paraphrase Selfreferencing) that we’re naturally motivated to seek Satan and that those who are not have been corrupted by sin and rebellion, I would much rather live among fine, upstanding flesh-eating devil-fearing folks like myself.
You see, Satan is the source of good as the south pole is the source of southness. Without him, I would just have to copy the morality of the rest of society or use my own faculties of reason and intuition—but then I wouldn’t know that it was good to eat babies and have sex with goats! It hardly bears thinking about. I mean, it’s a matter of faith, isn’t it? Can’t argue with that.
