Meet Goat!

So what is Goat? Is a question I keep getting asked. While a Goat system is short for "sacrificial goat" which is actually a play on the term, "sacrificial lamb." It's basically an extra system I keep for basically everything that isn't gaming. Goat will be updated to the latest OFW to see if anything breaks, Goat is used for all CFW testing that are sent me, Goat is used to test out every new entrypoint, etc. Goat is basically there to test and die if need be, so long as it keeps my main 3DS safe.
How did I come up with the term "Goat system?" It's actually something I didn't create, but it is some tongue-in-cheek mockery of my believes. First, it's actually a term a found lingering in few programming groups I am part of, although it was only used by a few people and wasn't wide spread. But I also started using it because I thought it was a funny nudge at my Left Hand Path believes. Being the stereotype that Satanists/Luciferians preform "Goat sacrifices." So I thought the idea of a nerdy Luciferian like myself having a video game system as a means of a "goat sacrifice" would actually be pretty funny. So after seeing the name tossed around once or twice, I quickly latched onto it and started using it here and there. Although recently with the banwave happening, I just had to introduce the term to the Temp. Mostly because saying, "Old3DS isn't banned," is just boring, but "Goat isn't banned," adds a lot more character to the report.
This is Goat

To those interested, Goat is always running the latest OFW and is running B9S with a private CFW installed on the CTRNAND. Besides being setup for the Nintendo Ban, it's also being used to test out the latest builds (both public and beta) of ReiNAND (currently.) Every CFW sent to me for testing purposes are tested on Goat before being tested on my main New3DS.

So I've actually considered making a blog on the topic of my religion ideas for the sake of education. Both educating people on the ideas of The Left Hand Path and to really discuss different believes in a civil and understanding manor. Basically, not as a means of trying to convert anyone, but as a means of educating people. Of course the only thing preventing me from making such a blog are some select members, who I know will only comment on the blog to start a flame war until the whole thing gets shutdown. Which would just ruin the entire point of trying to make a civil educational blog post. It's rather unfortunate really because I think the vast majority of the Temp would actually really enjoy it, but they would also end up fanning the flames instead of just having a civil conversation. The blog section has become rather predicable.

As for my actual believes, I am basically just a wanderer of the Left Hand Path. I do believe in a literal Lucifer, but not as a God though, but as a teacher. Some of the actual core aspects that are the same between Satanism and Luciferianism. Both basically believe in finding enlightenment through knowledge, nature, and living every single day to the fullest. Both believe that human nature should be embraced and not shunned or shamed (so long it's not hurting anyone or an animal and everyone involved is a willing/consenting adult.) Luciferism is an Enlightenment driven religion, based on finding enlightenment through the teachings of Lucifer. Although the biggest difference is that Luciferianism is a far more nature driven religion. It's far less about self-worship and more about self-betterment. Luciferianism in most forms still see Lucifer as a figure of enlightenment and a teacher/guide down the Left Hand Path. Seeing him less as the symbol of Human Nature, but as a symbol of knowledge. Where Satanism uses Satan as the symbol of human nature, coupled with a deeper aspect of self-worship.
I personally practice more along the lines of Luciferianism, but I still keep rules of Satanism as base guidelines. Basically Luciferianism is my religion, Satanism is my philosophy. This is actually one of the interesting aspect of the Left Hand Path, where believes aren't set in stone. The idea of mixing them together is perfectly acceptable and often encouraged. We believe that we wonder our own Path and if we need to make a new path, that's even better.
@Thunder Hawk
It's basically just ReiNAND with Luma3DS patches. It's really nothing special, but it fits my super minimalist needs and is perfectly suited for running from a CTRNAND. I like to have a very slim/basic CFW on my CTRNAND, it's just something I am more comfortable with.

@Crystal the Glaceon So it is a lot more different than LaVey Satanism? Also it is known that Luciferians don't treat Lucifer as a God, but as a friend(as you said). Also what Left Hand Path means? IIRC it has to do with magic...
 
@EthanAddict
Eh, that bit was less for you (since you actually seem to know what you are talking about) and more so for anyone else reading.
Outside of some parts, it's a completely different animal. Luciferianism actually a religion that's more akin to Buddhism, where the goal is to find enlightenment. Where as LaVeyan Satanism is more so a philosophy that more closely resembles Humanism, where it's more about understanding and respecting human nature.
 
*reads on wikipedia "If they do not stop, destroy them."* It does resemble human nature, my thirst for revenge @TheKingy34 *cough*
 
@EthanAddict
Yeah, human nature. Someone's being a dick to you, be polite and ask them to stop. If they continue, then fuck up their day because apparently they want their day fucked up.

I know that feel.

Also depending on how the comments go from here (I hope this blog isn't on fire or is still here when I wake up) I might make a separate blog entry. Because I know there are people who would find it rather interesting, but I am still on the fence about this.

I get banned from furry groups all the time. Mostly because I don't play nice with others. It's not my fault when I see something stupid, I say something about it and furries tend to have a lot of stupid things going on.
 
I got kicked because I connected a 1/4 cable from my guitar to my audiocard with an adapter I made, so you couldn't hear my voice, only the electric guitar(like how amps work), and played there till they muted me, and then I spammed to become admin(laugh), end of the tragic story, I forgot the spam section...

@Crystal the Glaceon my 3DS isn't really a goat but it still isn't banned LOL I think Nintendo is falling down on their job or something being as how I've committed the 4 big sins of pirated games, out of region games, homebrew apps, and custom firmware that is a very cool story as to why you call it goat though. As for your Satanism you do you, I don't really care who or what you worship you could worship a piece of toast and I wouldn't give a fuck, you're a cool person who is super helpful to the community and that's what matters.

@DeadlyEdge I am actually pretty sure Nintendo stopped banning after Friday. So if your system wasn't banned by Friday, I think it's going to be safe. Of course this is also why I made another poll to test this and I am checking Goat every couple hours (Goat still isn't banned BTW.)
Still, thanks so much ^_^ I was actually on the fence about including that bit, but honestly I find it funny as all hell. Although I am actually a Luciferian. I changed it to "Satanist" because I wasn't sure if anyone would get the reference if they weren't so familiar with the term.
