What is Satanism about?

5. Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.

I like this one!

what exactly is the mating signal?

Is it a grunt, a look or perhaps some kind of hand gesture?

I like the secretary at work, how will I know when she is giving me the right sign?

A good sign would be when she lays her wet panties over your head.

Methinks someone is going to be jobless somewhere in the next few hours.

Interesting. I do have to wonder why the status quo is always wrong.

I also have to wonder why Satanists are against harming others, if they are in rebellion of so many social norms? Why make an exception of it? And what reasons do they have that the rules and taboos of our society doesn't matter? And why even perform weird rituals anyway?

Thanks for the info anyway. It has clarified a lot.

Well 'weird' is a matter of opinion my friend. Personally I think it is weird to bow down to something and beg it for forgiveness.

Not wrong, just boring and tortuously redundant. I have no use for it either in society or among the few like minded associates of mine.

Satanists generally ascribe to the 'castle doctrine' or even 'stand your ground' code/rule. This does not mean just aimlessly harming others, actually the opposite. Satanists can harm, it just must have a serious enough reason behind the action. Self preservation is the goal always. It's not a desire either. It's just there waiting in case. Satanists can find many other ways to harm others besides typical methods, self preservation should have one noting their local laws as well.

And what reasons do they have that the rules and taboos of our society doesn't matter?

Laws are pretty smart to go by. Social rules are often trite, pointless and just optional any ways. Like being 'the family man' or cutting ones hair to 'fit in', maybe 'growing up' and listening to elevator music for all eternity.

And why even perform weird rituals anyway?

Everyone does this. You do it every day in every hour. It's just some are aware of the more meaningful so called 'weird' rituals while making little distinction between those 'weird and wacky' things and the slightly more mundane. Not to get too hokey on you, birth, life, feeding, sex and death are all 'weird' rituals. Why do any of them?

*Note: It's not so much about some dramatic "rebellion" of "social norms", that is adolescent. It's acknowledgement that these "norms" have not much weight or substance. They are illusions manufactured for the masses. Most people are gulled in order they be led. With that in mind they are free to play with any social construct they wish, even the so called 'norms', or make up new ones as they go along ( takes boat loads of creativity for that ).

*New note : I haven't decided yet. Am I still, or just a former. Perhaps just a sympathizer and de-facto.

I have heard some claim him to be the one that opened our eyes or liberated us as in the garden of eden story, ye shall be as gods.
