• 3.
  Do you knowwhy you’re here?? Do you know where you are going?
• 4.
  Why do mostsearch up here for? Is there really anything up there?
• 5.
  Why do wecommit the sins that are said to be wrong…
• 6.
  Why not livecarefree and enjoy the “wrongs” of our human nature… You can hear it right? That little whisper in your ear…telling you to do it
• 7.
  You are yourown person, why believe that you must answer to anyone? Ask yourself , is there really someone watching over me? Or is it just a figment of my imagination? Is it something I believe to be true, or is it something that I know is true? Think about it….would you believe it if I told you I saw a man walk on water? What about cure a blind man without medicine? Turn one liquid into another? No right? What if I wrote it in a book long ago? Even worse right?

  Let us seewhat Satanism is about 1. Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence! Why should you deny the pleasures of the physical world? Instead indulge in them, they are there for a reason, enjoy them. Control is the key to indulgence, we must never become addicted to it; surrendering control is never encouraged.

  2. Satan representsvital existence instead of spiritual pipe dreams! Why not live your life believing in yourself and the world around at that point in life? “ The truth of that existence is to be honored and sought at all times, never to be sacrificed for a comforting lie or an unverified claim one cannot bother to investigate.”

  3. Satan representsundefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit! “ True knowledge takes work and strength. It is something one finds rather than what will be handed to you. Doubt everything and avoid dogma. Truth tells of how the world truly is, not of how we would like it to be. Be wary of shallow emotional wants, for they frequently can only be satisfied at the expense of truth.”

  4. Satan representskindness to those who deserve it, not love wasted on ingrates! Satanism does not encourage hate nor cruelty towards others. There is no point in that but neither is there a need to treat others kindly when they will not appreciate it. Treat others as they treat you.

  5. Satan representsvengeance instead of turning the other cheek! Does this make sense? Turning the other check when others wrong you? Leaving wrongs unpunished leads to showing weakness and encouraging others to continue to prey on yourself and others. But just because you must not allow this, does not mean that you should become a bully in the name of vengeance…this is not encouraged and you deserve to be dealt with accordingly.

  6. Satan representsresponsibility to the responsible...! “ Satan represents responsibility to the responsible instead of concern for psychic vampires! Real leaders are determined by their actions and accomplishments, not their titles, and real power and responsibility should be given to those who can wield it, not to those who simply demand it.”

  7. Satan representsman as just another animal...! Are we better than those that walk on all four legs? Humanity is driven by the same natural urges that other animals experience. Our development has no doubt caused us to accomplish great things but it has also brought cruelty throughout history; we are the most vicious animal of all.

  8. Satan representsall of the so-called sins...! These “ sins” lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification, so why are we denying them? What is a “sin” and who named it that? A sin is something that breaks a moral or religious law, Satanism doesn’t believe in following of this dogma. When a person avoids and action, it should be for concrete reasons; not because dogma portraits it as “bad”. When a true wrong is committed a person should accept it, learn from it, and not do it again; not be begging on hands and knees for forgiveness.

  9. Satan hasbeen the best friend the Church has ever had...! “ Satan has been the best friend the Church has ever had, as He has kept it in business all these years! This last statement is largely a declaration against dogmatic and fear-based religion. If there were no temptations, if we did not have the natures that we do, if there was nothing to fear, then few people would submit themselves to the rules and abuses that have developed in other religions (specifically Christianity) over the centuries.”

  So what isthe truth…? “ Satan is a myth, just like God and other deities. Satan is also, however, incredibly symbolic, representing all of those things within our natures that outsiders might tell us is dirty and unacceptable. The chant of “Hail Satan!” is really saying “Hail me!” It exults the self and rejects the self-denying lessons of society. Finally, Satan represents rebellion, just as Satan rebelled against God in Christianity. Identifying oneself as a Satanist is to go against expectations, cultural norms, and religious creeds.”
