Yes...the Satanists seem to enjoy life a lot more and aren't sitting around waiting for Armageddon =) Or maybe that's just the Christians we have here.
You know though - the Gnostic Christians (sect existed just after Christ was crucified and founded by some of his disciples) threw huge parties and had a lot of fun. Well actually the men/women went out to 'convert' by seducing as many non-believers as possible. They took Christ's admonition to "Love thy Neighbor" literally. I think the Gnostic Christians would have been living it up pretty hard with the Satanists.
Unfortunately they were wiped out by rival sects that weren't as much into loving your neighbors.
Gnostic Gospels are still around though. I think they made it into the unabridged version of the Bible (the part the Catholic church cut out because it had controversial stuff in it). It has a name...but I forget right now.
