If my avatar was the kind of girl who blushed that's what she would be doing. But actually she is just smiling in a knowing kind of way and licking her lips. ;)
I think you mean the 4th Satanic Statement, Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it, instead of love wasted on ingrates.
I am not a slave to Anton LaVey's philosophy, but perhaps I do tend to follow that statement more than the Golden Rule in practice. However, as you seemed to...
I like hippies!
Well perception is important. To me black is beautiful, to some it isn't. Without valuing yourself and your own power, you can't value your perception.
I don't think they have to be different. But maybe think about it as the difference between fresh food and processed food. Processed food can be fine so long as you know what is in it and balance your diet accordingly.
I think the difference is rather subjective. It can depend on motives and methods. I use both. Some people regard black magic as evil, and I guess it can be but it doesn't have to be. I have always regarded magic as magic and was always prepared to use whatever was necessary long before I became...
Nature is indeed sacred to me and there is plenty of nature in the city if you look for it. However, the city also has all sorts of other energy which can be worked with. It is also sacred for me, I think anything can be sacred. At a basic level I'd say everything in the city is derived from the...
I love the countryside and the more naturalistic elements of witchcraft, but I am very much a city witch. I have done virtually all my magic within an urban setting. I did have some links to books about city/urban witchcraft... Not sure where I kept them, so I will try and get back to you on that.
This tells me you do not like communism, but it does not answer the question as to why you think left wing politics is incompatible with Satanism or the LHP.
Cutting a long story very short, with hindsight I think I was always drawn to Satan but I rejected it because it seemed to be at odds with all I knew and believed. I was brought up Christian then went through a Taoist phase (which is still sort of part of me) then discovered Wicca and became a...
What drew you to Satanism? Did you have any other religious or spiritual beliefs before? Was it a long process or did you always feel that you were Satanist?
Empathy is feeling or understanding another person's emotions. Some people have that "gift" or ability whether they want it or not. It can be very useful and enlightening when understood and controlled.
But as other have said, Sum seems to be talking about love or attachment.
If there are any objective moral absolutes there is no agreement about what they are. I follow the so called Golden Rule; Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself; and don't treat others in a way you would not like to be treated.
This is more along the lines of what I would like to see. Maybe a little more optimistic than what I posted earlier.
Why?
And so what? Satanism is about free thought and independence. It is not about keeping rigidly to what somebody else defines the LHP as.
An interesting question but almost impossible to answer, since I don't think there will ever be a consensus of what Satanic values and priorities actually are other than an emphasis on individualism perhaps. The divergent replies so far here from the small number of Satanists on this board are...
