When most people hear the word "Satanism" they immediately think of people sacrificing babies on an alter. In actuality, Laveyan Satanism is a kind of atheism in which one worships themselves. By that I mean they put themselves and those they hold dear before anything else. The religion is centered around indulgence, but one has to be careful not to confuse that with compulsion. Indulgence is having a burger, compulsion is eating so much that you become obese.
Nine Satanic Statements:
Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence!
Satan represents vital existence instead of spiritual pipe dreams!
Satan represents undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit!
Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it instead of love wasted on ingrates!
Satan represents vengeance instead of turning the other cheek!
Satan represents responsibility to the responsible instead of concern for psychic vampires!
Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all-fours, who, because of his "divine spiritual and intellectual development," has become the most vicious animal of all!
Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!
Satan has been the best friend the Church has ever had, as He has kept it in business all these years!
If you are curious, and you would like to learn more about Satanism, I have The Satanic Bible in my "Satanism" reading list.
