who here is a satanist?

atsonicpark · 04.09.2009, 12:34 PM

I've become really interested in Satanism lately. I'd read the Satanic Bible a long time ago and I loved it, I agreed with most of it, but I didn't know how I felt about becoming a practicing Satanist. I've long considered myself as an Agnostic Theist, but I've recently been thinking of "converting" my beliefs to that of a LaVeyan Satanist.

Anyway, just curious if anyone here is into that stuff. Please don't turn this into a big debate about religion, since most of its bullshit. Please don't question my beliefs. I am just curious who else considers themselves a satanist.

stu666 · 04.09.2009, 12:37 PM

I've always considered myself to be a satanist.

Derek · 04.09.2009, 12:39 PM

I gathered that with the 666

Really? Why don't you just become a Randoid objectivist instead? It's less pretentious. Oops, I'm questioning the beliefs of a guy that questions other people's beliefs, sorry.

No, I'm not.

afterthefact · 04.09.2009, 12:46 PM

How do you go from Agnostic to Satanist? I'm not sure there is a God, but I'm sure about Satan!

Sorry, I realized I'm questioning your beliefs, just as you asked us not to do.

I for one am against Satan. He is resposible for all of the wrong in the world. I don't see how anybody could really be for that.

atsonicpark · 04.09.2009, 12:47 PM

I'll let your message speak for itself.

I'm just going to say... read the Satanic bible one time and you'll be changed.

gualbert · 04.09.2009, 12:53 PM

Could you post some teachings of the satanic bible here? as I'm too lazy to read it.

This is what they say about the actual Bible.

It's all Ayn Rand shit, Nietzschian Dionysian regurgitation, and pagan spectacle pretense. I've read that tripe individually already. Unless you mean there is something else to it?

atsonicpark · 04.09.2009, 12:56 PM

Yes. Yankee Rose. That is something more.

A lot of it is common sense.. love yourself, jerk off, Christians hate everything that makes people happy, etc. Still, it's intelligent stuff.

gualbert, this is a good summary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Satanic_Bible

I've read the entire Bible and agreed with almost none of it. Of course that was a decade ago. Some coolass fuckin murders in it and shit though.

Rob Instigator · 04.09.2009, 12:57 PM

if you were to read anton la vey's work on what he branded satanism, it has nothing to do with the worrship of a deity.entity called satan. it has everything to do with accepting the animalistic side of our humanity, and exalting in it, and understanding that the "virtues" which are taught by christians, are not the only human virtues.

I myself am an ANTI-Theist.

LeVeyan Satanism is atheist/non-theistic. Satan is more of a symbol of selfish will in nature than any supernatural, metaphysical being. Theistic Satanism is the one that prays to the Infernal Prince.

So you never read Nietzsche, hmm?

floatingslowly · 04.09.2009, 01:00 PM

I would consider myself a satinist.

it's so soft and silky to the touch!

^^^ OMG CLICK AND MAKE BIG.

atsonicpark · 04.09.2009, 01:00 PM

Right, anyone that thinks Satanism is about worshipping Satan.. well.. doesn't know what Satanism is.

And I'm only familiar of Thus Spake Zarathustra, which I think completely flew over my head when I read it a good 7 years ago. Maybe I should dig it back out.

Read The Anti-Christ and Beyond Good and Evil, instead.

I'm a very proud LaVeyan Satanist. Being your own god is great.

Isn't 'atheism' enough?
Or are you against people who believe there is a god?

atsonicpark · 04.09.2009, 01:12 PM

Is there a religion that only worships farts? Besides Christianity, I mean?

There is a marked difference between dismissing a thing and being actively against it.

I find it a curious phenomenon that self-centered philosophies are always so Western-scope in being contra Christianity when religion/philosophies like Buddhism, which strive for the absolute eradication of the self, are obviously far more antithetical.
