6.) Satan represents responsibility to the responsible, instead of concern for psychic vampires. (For those of you who are not familiar with the term "psychic vampire", it is defined as a person who feels the need to feed off of a "life source"/"energy source". This could be described as the bully who constantly picked on you at school just to, taking it out on you, release his own hidden emotions and attempt to fill his empty shell of obliterated self-confidence. It's more masochistic than sadistic, really. You should more-so pity your bully then be afraid of him. &Most of people can be responsible, but not mature - or some mature but not responsible. Both combining into one can happen, but it takes a lot of self control, realization and concentration. This could, in some way, go along with the whole "Mind over Matter" thing.)
7.) 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 them all. (As I said in #2 - "We have the knowledge and capability to do/create/accomplish/find whatever we want/need. "Man has always created his gods, rather than his gods creating him." - We are constantly developing both physically, intellectually and even creatively - This being said, we start to question how we got here, why we are here, if there is something more, and start to develop ideas of what could or couldn't be. Although, we sometimes become overwhelmed by these ideas and create our own anxiety, therein creating our own destruction. If we should truly be scared of anything, it shouldn't be "global warming","having gas", wars, etc. - it should be ourselves. "You are your own worst enemy." "The one in the mirror is the one you most despise." Heard either of those before? )
8.) Satan represents all of the [what the Christians refer to as] sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification. [*Quoted from “The Satanic Bible”: “A Satanist knows there is nothing wrong with being greedy, as it only means that he wants more than he already has. Envy means to look with favor upon the possessions of others, and the be desirous of obtaining similar things for oneself. Envy and greed are the motivating forces of ambition – and without ambition, very little of any importance would be accomplished. – Gluttony is simply eating more than you need to keep yourself alive. When you have overeaten to the point of obesity, another sin – pride – will motivate you to regain an appearance that will renew your self-respect. – Anyone who buys an article of clothing for a purpose other than covering his body and protecting it from the elements if guilty of pride. Satanists often encounter [people] who maintain that labels are not necessary. It must be pointed out to these destroyers of labels that one or many articles they themselves are wearing are not necessary to keep them warm. There is not a person on this earth who is completely devoid of ornamentation. The Satanist points out that any ornamentation of the [persons] body shows that he, too, is guilty of pride(Unless sentimental). Regardless of how verbose the [person] may be in his intellectual description of how free he is, he is still wearing the elements or pride. – Being reluctant to get up in the morning is to be guilty of sloth, and if you lie in bed long enough you may find yourself committing yet another sin – lust. To have the faintest stirring of sexual desire is to be guilty of lust. In order to insure the propagation of humanity, nature made lust the second most powerful instinct, the first being self-preservation. (This next sentence and such has to deal with the point being made.) Realizing this, the Christian Church made fornication the “Original Sin”. In this way they made sure no one would escape sin. Your very state of being is as a result of sin – the “Original Sin”. – The strongest instinct in every living thing is self-preservation, which brings us to the last of the seven deadly sins – anger. Is it not our instinct for self-preservation that is aroused when someone harms us, when we become angry enough to protect ourselves from further attack? A Satanist practices the motto, “If a man smite thee on one cheek, smash him on the other!” Let no wrong go unredressed. Be as a lion in the path – be dangerous even in defeat!”]
9.) Satan has been the best friend the church has ever had, as he has kept it in business all these years. (Who has the finger always been pointed at? In just about every ‘god-like’ religion? Why do you think Jesus came down the earth in the first place? What many people don’t know is that Satan used to be the most beautiful and powerful angel sitting aside God. He was referred to as the Morning Star. Well, what do we wake up to every morning? Making the answer easier – what is another name for the sun? Simple as that.)
The four books in the Satanic Bible:
1. (FIRE) Book of Satan – The Infernal Diatribe
2. (AIR) Book of Lucifer – The Enlightenment
3. (EARTH) Book of Belial – The Mastery of the Earth
4. (WATER) Book of Leviathan – The Raging Sea
Sacrificing is out of the question. It was originally used to put in “life energy” to a victim then be ‘released’ for either ‘the god’ or for oneself to gain power. Although, considering “life energy” comes from ourselves and our own emotions/passions, then why kill an innocent creature when it’s going to do no good anyway?
Suicide is out of the question also. A true Satanist loves life and wallows in its splendors. We all die, but not everyone lives. A true Satanist believes that the only thing you should die for is a loved one. Other than that, strive to live and live to strive!
Satanism isn’t as dark as everyone/every other religion seems to put it off to be.
