No, at least not in the US and the Western world. It is illegal in much of the Middle East.
Was aleister crowley a satanist?
He probably wouldn't have objected to being called one. He adopted the description 'the wickedest man in the world' after being called such in a newspaper report; his view was that it would deter the people he considered timewasters, but those he approved of would be intrigued, and seek further. The name 'Shaitan' appears frequently in his writings, but could only loosely be equated with 'Satan', and carries a significantly different meaning to that which most Christians, for example, would infer. Those who (broadly speaking) follow his philosophy, 'Thelemites', adopt many religious practices and beliefs, or none. 'Do What Thou Wilt shall be the Whole of the Law. Love is the Law: Love under Will'.
Is the 33rd degree of Freemasonry actually Satanism?
Simple answer: No. Freemasonry has nothing to do with Satanism. Put down the Chick tract and step away...

Freemasonry is a fraternal organization which uses metaphors of stonemason's tools as titles for the different ranks and areas of the organization.
The organization has always been known for its charitable works, and requires that members remain morally upright - most branches require you to acknowledge belief in the Supreme Being, but they allow you to define which Being you worship (you can be a Freemason if you are Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish, or any other religion) - and to develop and maintain fraternal loyalty between members.
The 33rd Degree is a rank that a member can achieve within the Scottish Rite Temple; the title is Master of the Royal Secret or Sublime Prince of the Royal Secret, depending on which area the lodge is in.
Do Satan and Mary use to be good friends?
No! Mary was a human being who was born after several thousand years of human history. Satan was created as an angel and fell due to his pride long before the beginning of human history, before Adam was created.
There are some bands I am not very sure of, but I do know that Slayer is, and Godsmack.
Tiamat.
Without a doubt, they are one of the most explicitly, obviously, purposefully Satanic bands around (and actually still have a brilliant sound). The songs "Cain", "Return of the son of nothing" and "Clovenhoof" make that quite clear.
Darkthrone and their ilk could also be considered satanic, to an extent. Most of the old black metal bands were. Satyricon, Anorexia Nervosa (possibly), Akercocke, and plenty of other newer bands certainly try to lean that way.
Slayer has some mildly "satanic" lyrics, but most of the band members were Catholic, IIRC. Godsmack is just modern rock/metal.
There is nothing bad about satanism. Society, movies, and the Christian church make up lies about what it really is, in order to keep everyone afraid. Satanism is about indulgence in man's most carnal, earthly desires and focus on life it self. They believe all of the "7 deadly sins" should be indulged in rather than abstaining from doing them.
No. Serj Tankian having great pride of his Armenian decent is a Christian. Also was the first country to adopt Christianity.
What does the word satanism means?
It can mean a few things. In most christian fanatics, it means evil evil people who sacrifice animals, that is not completely true. There are normally two general sides to Satanism. There is the left hand path, or Anton LeVay Satanism, which are Atheists who believe in Satan as a philosophical ideal, that he is not in fact a supernatural being.
Then there is the Right hand path, known as "Theistic Satanism" or "Traditional Satanism" these are the Satanists that believe in Satan as a deity. Normally the Right hand path is what the media sees as the crazy cultists who kill in the name of Satan, they do not infact. Sure, there are individuals out there who do crazy things for satan. But that is not what Theistic Satanism is based around.
Both paths may follow the belief in Wicca and other Magic.
How can the Devil make Someone Commit Suicide?
He infests the hearts of the people surrounding the person and make them drive the person to it.
Why does the Devil want you to kill yourself?
he is evil and you need to get some help and pray if you feel like doing those actions
How often do People Steal Cars in this World?
Thousands of cars are stolen every hour around the world. Many are stolen to commit crimes with. many are also stolen just to joyride in (which is also a crime)
How does the DEVIL make Someone Think of Committing Suicide?
well in the religious world its really because everything you do/ think of doing is evil. In reality, its a personal issue that people deal with themselves. Of course, this presumes that we aren't on some devine path created by god.
in all seriousness if you're worried, about someone, try to suggest they talk to a GP as a first step.
This can be divided into 2 sub-categories. To answer it, we have to ask the individual who claims to be one, "What is Satan?".
If the person says, "Satan is a concept, and ideal" then this would likely fall into the category of Laveyan Satanism (search this term for more) which is more viewed as a personal philosophy than a religious practice.
If the person says "He is the lord to be worshiped" then this would be more of a Theistic Satanism (search this term for more).
Having pursed the title personally, I would highly recommend not pursuing either branch of religion because the course can be irreversible.
Do you mean Satan? you imbecile.
Very easy. Go to a local fabric shop, buy some, and then tell it you're going to make a nice dress out of it. There we go, you've talked to Satin!
