This why I am having a hard time believing this person is a stanist:

[size=-1]Basic teachings and Beliefs of Satanism:[/size][size=-1] [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]While many Satanists argue the actual physical existence of Satan, the Satanic view of Satan/Lucifer/Set is a somewhat Gnostic one, seeing the divinity as a liberator of mankind, a principal of individuality, or as the principal of change. Satanism of the sort where believers consciously worship Satan as an evil entity or an enemy of the Christian God appears to be confined to rumor, disturbed teenagers, and bad Heavy metal music. True to some accusations, Satanists do tend to embrace a philosophy of 'relative morality,' which generally culminates in a rejection of 'antiquated' sexual mores, "embracing man's carnal nature," as LaVey phrases it.[/size][/font]

The beliefs of the Church of Satan can be summed up by their Nine Satanic Statements:[/size][/font]
- [font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]Satan represents indulgence, instead of abstinence![/size][/font]
- [font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]Satan represents vital existence, instead of spiritual pipe dreams![/size][/font]
- [font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]Satan represents undefiled wisdom, instead of hypocritical self-deceit![/size][/font]
- [font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it, instead of love wasted on ingrates![/size][/font]
- [font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]Satan represents vengeance, instead of turning the other cheek![/size][/font]
- [font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]Satan represents responsibility to the responsible, instead of concern for psychic vampires![/size][/font]
- [font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]Satan represents 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![/size][/font]
- [font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification.[/size][/font]
- [font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]Satan is the best friend the church has ever had, as he has kept it in business all these years![/size][/font]
