Wow, this thread went off track a 'little bit'.
Theres a big difference between 'beleive' and follow.
I beleive in God, but I don't follow him.
Does that make me a Christian?
Obviously not
Dont get me wrong, Im not trying to make Anton LaVey look like the person this article BSing on about. I didnt beleive it was true either.
I Knew LaVey didnt have a son named Jess, and I picked up on the faulse spelling, but that was it - everything else you said was new to me.
If this...

If Im not meant to post links, please let me know, and I will remove this thread.
The second paragraph in that article is what catches my attention.
I havent looked around forums for this topic yet, so if it has already been posted here or anywhere...
OK, even most Satanists dislike 'Devil Worship' and fair enough, ita completely ridiculous if one is doing it simply for trend or attention.
But think about it - Before all the rumours originated about Satan being such an 'evil' figure, wasnt Satan/Lucifer just another god who nobody had a...
I wouldnt say that Satanism keeps Christianty alive, but I think that Satanism as a mis-conception to Chrsisitans is just used to keep them obidient, and the way they want them.
Sorry to hear that.
I dont hate Christians, I just dont beleive that Christianity is the religion for me. Most Satanists think in a similar way. I havent attended any Satanic rituals or performed any magic to do with Satanism as of yet.
Anyway, were getting off topic. Back to thread's original...
Up until about the age of 6 I went to a Christian church, all of them years, I was being forced to beleive in God, all I ever heard was "if you dont do (...) you will burn in Hell", over and over, at about the age of 6 years old, my mother was told never to return to the church, for questioning...
Was that sarcastic?
Ther last time I checked, Lucifer/Satan was kicked out of Heaven, and now awaits a punishment, simply for questioning God.
My apoligies if this has already been mentioned by somebody else, I havent read this entire thread yet.
Unless Im mistaken, upon joining The Church of Satan, members are given the Satanic Bible via email, so you may be able to ask a CoS member, if they could give you the file to read, aslong as you delete it upon reading the entire document.
Im not sure, you would have to look into that first, you...
This thread has sort of gone a little off topic - but thats fine, its still interesting.
I originally wanted to know what people think about Satanists like the one I was reffering to, using Satanism to warrant crimes, like the ones I pointed out.
Id just like to know how everyone else here one these forums has interpereted The Satanic Bible. I very recently dis-continued my activites with a Satanic organization I joined, because well.....(this will sound very random!?!) the leader of the organization (and possibly other members aswell)...
Hey, dude, what other people think is BS, and dosent matter, if people are smart, than they will look at this and think to themselves "who should we beleive? loud mouth Christians, or the quite NON-attention seeking Satanists" and if theyre too stupid to work it out, then they arent worth us...
Im actually looking more so for a better handle on my own life, I feel a need for more control and power as such, something I have close to none off. From waht I have read, maybe Satanism can raise my self esteem, and help me out of some hard stuff I go through in life at the moment. :S
I dunno...
Hey,
This is my second post here,
Ive been studying Satanism for a while in my spare time now. I want to join a Satanic group, so Im not a "dabbler" so that other Satanists don't see me as some punk as teenager on a power trip, trying to be cool (well, I still will be a teenager, but still...)...
Hey everyone, Im meant to introduce myself, well, I dont HAVE to, but I shall be friendly and say howdy anyway.
Im Nic, Im 15 (turning 16), I live in Western Australia, erm, I found this forum when looking at Satanism, it just really interests me for some reason :)
Must say, this forum looks...
