Satanism is very real. And like any other religion has many versions. The religion is widely misunderstood, thanks to the media and influences of the various churches. In the official Church of Satan you serve yourself as the God of your own existence. The approach is actually very atheist-like. Here are some statements that basically sum up the foundation of the belief. Satanism represents
* indulgence instead of abstinence * vital existence instead of spiritual pipe-dreams * undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit * kindness to those who deserve it instead of love wasted on ingrates * vengeance instead of turning the other cheek * responsibility to the responsible instead of concern for psychic vampires * 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 * all the so-called sins, as the all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification * the best friend the church has ever had, as he has kept it in business all these years And followers live by these rules.
1. Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
2. Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.
3. When in another's lair, show him respect or else do not go there.
4. If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
5. Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
6. 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.
7. Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.
8. Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
9. Do not harm little children.
10. Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.
11. When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.
If you are further interested, please Google the CoS (church of Satan) website. You will find it to be a completely different world to what "the world" has taught you.
