If the devil and the opposite of that existed, even conceptually as ideas, gender wouldn’t be applicable to them in the same way that gender isn’t applicable to fire.
Likely, what defines a god or the devil, is the social conventions and values you hold. Or, if you want to go the route of a creator, is your own parents, who are neither omnipotent nor omianything because they’re just like you, a meaningless glimpse of an ever-repeating pattern, slowly evolving, with no destiny or fate other than death.
Want to praise something? Praise being alive at all. Praise other people who are alive, along with you. Demonize the source of the powers that be that make your life worse: fascism. Those are the real powers that corrupt and damn people.
Go eat and be merry. Stop leaning on tales and hopes of an imagined after-life and wasting the actual-life you have. It doesn’t exist.

Eat cake.
Trust in and Submit to authority vs trust your own judgment
There are times for both depending on tons of variables, but the people in authority will always push that first one
I mean, I fucking hate Authority almost as much as I hate my own judgement
There’s a difference between authority that says “trust in me only” and authorities that consistently earn trust and bring receipts.
God sure does, otherwise he’d have been smitten…
Dude canonically engages in for-funsies gambling matches with the guy
And for funsies torture of his subjects to win those bets.
Or just not created him in the first place. Didn’t he see what was gonna happen?
We must have Tzeentch irl, because he constantly works against himself.
I like the Church of Satan more than almost any Christian Church.
If I’m not mistaken the church of Satan is not much better than Christian churches but the satanic temple is great.
Yeah. Those guys.
Correct. CoS is basically the libertarianism of religion. TST is a secular humanist group that fights the good fight (in courts) against religious overreach.
