  1. Of course that wouldn't make sense. That's why we don't worship a god and summon spirits. We are Atheists. We follow a philosophy based on the concept of the character Satan, not literal belief in him. We identify with the symbol of Satan. We are as the character, we worship ourselves.

  2. I've been a Satanist for 9 years. A phase? Atheism is a phase? Free thinking is a phase? The path of the self is only a phase?

  3. I need not his forgiveness. I've done nothing to harm anyone. Shemhamforash

  4. Who cares if you don't think it's "real Satanism"? Just be happy we aren't insane murderers.

  5. Damn. Finally a Christian who appreciates Christs words more than his death.

  6. I'm Hispanic and Satanism is more along the lines of my passion, not just a hobby.

  7. Just because he thinks differently than you he should suffer forever? If you're really a Christian, your job is to save people from Hell, not condemn us to it.

  8. He's a character to us, not an existing deity and not representing disbelief in a deity as that's irrelevant to his story. We openly admit we are Atheists. It doesn't make sense to you how he represents being your own God? That's the character's main motivation! He denied God to be above him and decided to make it happen, to be a God himself.

  9. +Sigrid Haldirsson But they exist now. Why not make use of them?

  10. icampos89 That is precisely the Satanic perspective. We are social animals and have always been interested in the occult. Nothing wrong with indulging in it, especially when it can lead to your self betterment.

  11. +Llama I like the philosophy. I want a little more than just declaring I hold no belief in anything.
    14
  12. Why not any other God?
    13
  13. It's been 50 years of this philosophy so "yet" is not a factor. LaVeyan Satanism will not change outside of the Satanic Bible
    12
  14. It's ridiculous. It's almost like the whole religion is based on brainwashing and not making sure the brain-washers are correct by their own Bible because of laziness. Oh wait...

  15. I wish a happy Halloween to all of the individuals of the Satanic Pathway. Our black flame continues on. In all of the pleasures of the night we revel. Joy to the flesh forever. Hail Satan! Shemhamforash!

  16. Do as thou wilt is a teaching from that fuckin maniac Aliester Crowley. He is seen as a monster in the CoS, we do not follow his teachings of Thelema. "We do not worship anything but ourselves". Well where'd you get that line from? We still use it, it is relevant.

  17. +Torbjørn Oskarsson We see all God's as man made and fictional, but that does not render their representations void and unuseful for a mental working based on such in ritual.

  18. Hey hey Kelly lets not make the mistake that Theists do by calling theirs the real Satanism. Other Theistic religions are on that same destructive path. We can't join them. We claimed we were better. Stupidity #1 sin. We gotta learn from their mistakes. Hail Satan

  19. Thank you.

  20. +Chad Kimball The dark aesthetic is meant to scare people away who do not have the curiosity to seek new information. We want people to take a look behind the curtain and see what Satan actually means and wonder if a label associating themselves with Satan may identify them. If they are too scared to, then Satanism was not meant for them. When the imagery and symbolism is portrayed through media attention, then people get interested and they can choose to discover something that might hold an aspect of themselves.

  21. +Alvaro Lopez Well you don't understand that I don't believe in a deity.

  22. The line is a little blurred with us being a religion or philosophy. It's mainly the religious aspect ritual that causes this.
    8
  23. AERØPEX We don't choose a deity. We choose a character that we find inspiring and identify with. If you read The Satanic Bible, you would find encouragement everywhere in it about why you are the god of your own life and destiny and why to believe in yourself.

  24. Hail Satan <3

  25. I give my actual name under this username when people ask. Wayne Cochran. My Satanic "beliefs" are rooted in only this life. I can't avoid practicing the philosophy. I only take the sign of the adversary when my beliefs are the conversation topic. Other than that, I try to keep my "good guy badge" on.

  26. "Satan represents vital existence instead of spiritual pipe dreams."
    7
  27. thesupernittygritty That's rather de-humanizing. The Satanist however is the ultimate form of human life. We cherish it the most. I do only serve myself. Maybe your God should actually prove their superiority over me. I've lied before but so have you. Everyone's a liar, but how am I so in a recent instance?

  29. +shreknet Only LaVeyan Satanists are Atheists. The only aspect of our philosophy we consider theatrical is our usage of ritual. We're pretty much the only ideology that admits this.
    6
  30. Of course we are. Evil is the opposite of God according to some definitions. "Evil" spelled backwards is "live", and that's precisely what Satanism is about.

  31. We're doing our best Pagans. They must give back what they've stolen. Ave domine inferni!

  32. Ray Van Link Haha, every other religion also calls their way the truth! They can't all be so.

  33. Funny, when it's other people doing this, it's called persuasion. When a Satanist does it, it's called a flat out lie. It depends on what we're attempting to influence you towards. Most often it is to consider only the life in front of you, which plainly exists and isn't a lie. What claims have we made? I was never given promises when I joined the Church of Satan. As I said, it only involves the life in front of you. Christianity on the other hand claims that there is an afterlife that no living Earthling has seen.

  34. We are Atheistic.

  35. +Greg Sanchez We don't really pray as we hold no belief in a deity to pray to. It is meant for blasphemous purposes. However what I think your questioning is the aesthetics and purpose of Satanic ritual. Satanism is the only ideology that admits that its occult practices are theater. We use it as a tool for psycho dramatic use and release ourselves of unwanted feelings and emotion. Doing so we become more focused in obtaining our desires. As for being rather dark themed, mankind has always been interested in the occult, magic, and dark practices; so, we entice those feelings and indulge in them.

  36. Yes, the Satanist does not hold the view of actual belief in Satan. We see him as a character from a book whos meaning and virtue we take upon the self.

  37. Do you want to know what Hail Satan means? ...Hail yourself. Of course it is a sin to put yourself over god, so you're right. But what does that say about the big man?
    4
  38. They hate it so they will claim it is anything else but what we describe.
    4
  39. I'm aware that most of you like to pretend that you're in some holy war with us when that is simply not the case. We do not see you as an enemy. We do not go against man. We are on the side of humanity. It is god whom we despise.
    4
  40. How so?
    4
  41. Hail friend.

  42. Apathy Lol, self absorption does not equate to pretend philosophy. As PRHILL said, "low-life". You keep throwing groundless insult even though I've wronged you in no way.
    4
  43. Apathy Theistic belief isn't the case. We don't believe in Satan, we use the character as representation to show our advocacy for Sin as it leads to physical, mental, and emotional gratification.

  44. +A Happy Fallout Day Yeah, I've been in this wasteland too long. I'm basically a ghoul now.

  45. thesupernittygritty Or your making claims that I'm making claims. Seriously, that comment is right in front of me. Life literally being real is my claim and it is the truth. I didn't misuse anything there. I meant every word. Of course it's stupidity. However, I'm not being an idiot.

  46. Hail Santa

  47. Bryson Ruud DavidAids  Hold on m8's hold on. "They support the sacrifice of animals and children"? #10 of the Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth "Do not harm another being unless attacked". #9 of the Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth "Do not harm little children". There is no "power receiving" involved in the philosophy.  About being selfish, greedy, and exploitative is true. It will lead to your self assurance to survive. We see it in nature constantly. To confront your accusation that we steal, #6 of the Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth "Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved". Rape #5 of the Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth. Do not make sexual advantages unless given the mating signal. Murder (again) see #10. We believe that you should be able to do what you want, but we also make sure it is known in The Satanic Bible that describes LaVeyan Satanism "There are possible repercussions to negative actions on others".

  48. LeGrim Reaper Mankind has always been interested in dark aesthetics, the occult, and things of the like. We see nothing wrong with indulging in these things, especially if you could get some advantages out of them. We don't believe in any aspect of the supernatural but the psychological is certain to exist. We use it as a form of theatrical psychodrama to relieve yourself of unwanted feelings or emotions and attempt to affect the environment around you. Anton considered his version of Satanism as an Atheistic philosophy that obviously contains some religious aspects, but we are the only group to ever admit our practices we have the choice of performing are theatrical.

  49. Kristina S. Perhaps. Perhaps.

  50. No, we are not. We walk the path of the self. We do not believe in Satan as a literal deity. Satan worshippers exist, The Satanic Temple and the Church of Satan are not of them.
