Satanism

[iZen]

Ok everyone.. I know what you are probably thinking that this is some little punk that thinks he is a ****** and worships the devil. If you are thinking that you are absolutly wrong. I am highly educated and I am a correct and true follower of true satanism.

We do not sacrifice or kill for enjoyment. Nor are we evil and all hating. The only differance between Satanism and Christianity is a God. That is all. But most of you do not understand that our God is not Satan. A true Satanist (not a Devil Worshiper) does not even believe in Satan. Satanism is the belief in ones self as a God. As a Satanist you are truly superior to all other people, and you always put yourself before others. From us treating ourselves superior to others makes us look selfish. That may be true... But then again would you ever put someone before God? The only reason that we feel this is because we feel as if, and believe that we are Gods.

So before you decide to persecute or abandon someone because of their religion, look a little deeper into it. As they say,"don't always judge a book by its cover."

Then why call yourselves Satanists.

Satanism is the belief in ones self as a God.

Isn't that Selfishism.

Do you have any devine powers, or is it just a pointless belief? You do not have to be a God to be selfish. Many people from other faiths manage that quite well.

Do you have any other beliefs, or doctrines?

True satanism? I think you mean LaVeyan Satanism.

Have a look around, you'll find a forum for satanists and several other satanist members.

So before you decide to persecute or abandon someone because of their religion, look a little deeper into it. As they say,"don't always judge a book by its cover."

And why do you presume we'd do such a thing as persecute you? All religions are welcome here.

Hi iwen,

And welcome to the forum!

As I notice this is your first post, I thought perhaps you might like to post on:-
Are you new to ReligiousForums.com? , so that the other members can 'meet' you.

In the absence of my friend feathersinhair (who usually takes care of new members), I ought to suggest that you might like to look at this link, which is full of interesting info about the forum.

I hope you enjoy your time here, and look forward to seeing your posts.

Do I understand, from what you are saying, that you are a Lavayan Satanist, as opposed to a theistic one ?

The only reason that we feel this is because we feel as if, and believe that we are Gods.

and that is why satanism is the height of human arrogance.

hey izen, welcome to the forums.

Because personal divinity was Satan's position.

And because LeVay, and many of the early Satanists lived teir lives for shock value.

 

[Feathers in Hair]

Hehee, sorry. If you're wanting to challenge people's beliefs about Satanism, you're probably better off going to a forum where people are biased or confused about the tradition.

Welcome to the forums! Please feel free to introduce yourself in the area where Michel linked to!

Well said... thanks for the education on your faith.

Peace in Christ,

Surprised to see you here normally satanism is like secret society because of the eleven satanic rules mostly number one but welcome look forward to hearing what you have add. But I don't know if I would agree with your view on how satanist view themselves. There is nothing about being gods in the beliefs of satanism at the COS. I think that most satanist would not say that they were better than everyone else but would say that no one is better than them, putting everyone on the same plain.

:clap Bravo! I agree. The very fact that Satanism goes against the cultural norms of the majority of society should be proof that Satanism needs some major reform. Because in all honesty, I seriously doubt that Satanism is ever going to be widely accepted except for among young and rebellious teenagers perhaps.

However, do keep in mind that I respect all religions. However, my beliefs are that all religions have a varying amount of truth contained within. To me, Satanism contains very little truth. Its like 0 on a scale of 1-10, 10 being most truth and 0 being least truth. While Catholicism, on the other hand, is a 10. :162:

Didn't Judaism go against polytheistic cultural norms? Seems to me that Jesus went against cultural norms as well.

Should a Christian in a hedonistic culture reform Christianity?

I presume a Satanist would say the opposite.

Well what do you really know of satanism? Do you know anyone that is a satanist? What are you basing your beliefs about satanism on ?

 

[Merlin]

Maybe so. In what way should we reform it?

 

[JerryL]

In context? It would vary; but it's your standard not mine.

If you are actually asking me what reforms I think the Catholic church should undertake, I have quite a litany; but it's terribly off-topic.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

While I do appreciate the information, iZen, there have been many other Satanist that have set the records straight on RF.

I asked you what reforms should the Christian faith make. You replied you had several that the Catholic Church should make. The Catholic Church is not the Christian religion, any more than the Anglican Church, or the Mormon Church, or Jehovah's Witnesses etc. You have fallen into the normal trap of equating some person's idea of an organisation, with the faith of Christianity.

It is possible to be a Christian without joining an individual organisation, but equally without disparaging any of them. It is possible to be a member of any Christian sect, and therefore all Christian sects (in my case I would add Jewish and Muslim as well). My object in religion is to worship God, not the means or the organisation.

That goes along with my first thoughts. Whenever a satanist joins, they seem to feel the need to explain themselves to everyone. But reading through some of the replys, well , I think some people need a bit of a refresher.

I don't like the fact that you're mixing truth with personal belief. You don't know the truth contained in Satanism anymore than anyone else, but I understand where you a coming from. You seem to be a very considerate person.

Good point, but most could be from new members.
