Orias
Left Hand Path
The thing that has always struck me as funny (maybe wrong word here) is there is a common ground. In order to believe in absolute evil, you have to believe in an absolute form of good and both do.
The people I have meant that believe in Satan (as in worship) seem to have problems with the status quo. I get the impression that they follow the religion they do just to tick people off.
I think it is also funny that since these people (Satanists) believe in Satan, they are more Christian then I am since I believe I am the source of good that I do as well as the source of any bad I may do.
As far as coming up with evil angels to worship, not really to surprised and see it as possible as new religions seem to pop up all the time.
You sound like you want to know what you're talking about
The path of satan is towards the material or gross end and the other side can be labelled the *god end*
Ave Zenzero!
I agree with most of what you said, but this particular statement I will have to disagree with to an extent.
The Path of Satan exists in the material world, but leans towards nothing besides that which gratifies the Self.
From this they have the option to intrigue in the gross material world, or the "God end" of the spectrum, but I myself personally among a few others have decided to "see the bigger picture", in retrospect that most people that argue about "God" topics retort in a manner that lacks consideration of other people's "Gods".
