Sorry you feel that way. I guess someday you'll find out if your right or not. Better HOPE your right. But there seems to be a fair amount of people that believe in Satan, just like people believe in God.
It's not a cult. I mean, I've never even met another Satanist. It's a series of guidelines about how to live ethically and empower yourself. And one of the main rules is "Don't hurt children", which is why I'm here trying to help you crazy-ass religious motherfuckers expose some disgusting monsters.
First, thank you for the help. But seriously that's like believing a guy called Traitor McMurder telling you "don't worry, I'm not gonna hurt any kids." LeVey was associated with Aquino and probably raped and murdered kids, and of course he would lie about it. It's called SATANism! How much more obvious does it need to be?
The entire concept of satanism is a lure, if I were you I'd just be an atheist or agnostic and not associate with friggin movements that are named after evil religious entities.
Although I seriously think God is real even if purely for cosmological reasons. The enemy of these child killers is the God of Christianity, who is frequently said to be violent in the old testament; but guess what, most of that violence was directed at the child killing cultures!
Well, it's the most sensible and practical ethical philosophy I've ever found as far as living in our modern world goes, ànd Ive never talked to a Satanist who would ever consider hurting a kid. It's called Satanism because we reject the weak moral code preached by your pathetic stick god. But
I had heard that there is another type of Satanist that actually believes in Satan and tries to do evil, but until this whole pizzagate thing it never once occured to me that might be more than a myth.
Hate to break it to you but the "good" one is a cover for the bad one. Look into LeVays connection to Aquino.
Christianity isn't designed to lure, it is aware that it's challenging and that most people won't get into it, and even many "Christians" will not make it because they're actually full of it. The entire premise is the challenge! Several parables indicate that most men are too morally weak to make it. Incidentally, that's why it's not practical. It's a discipline test. Heck, the central figure and many of his followers were tortured to death for their beliefs!
If anything is designed to deceive, it's the easy going, practical system that appeals to the creature comforts of humanity and focuses on vague, feel-good, romanticized concepts.
Dude, I've read everything there is to read about LaVey. And let me tell you, that man and his religion look pretty peachyncompared to, say, the Catholic Church. That said, I don't worship or even particularly respect Anton LaVey, I just think that the ethical rules he devised are more or less the same as the ones a rational man would invent in a vacuum.
I'm a Christian and I completely denounce the Catholic Church too. They are humans. Christianity is ONLY about Christ and his teachings, period. Anything else is human scheming. The whole concept of Pope and Church with a capital C is offensive.
Jesus openly says that many, if not most who call themselves Christians will not be saved.
LaVey talks a good game but that's his MO. Deception. You attract more flies with honey than vinegar.
I see. Well, I'm glad you're well versed in it. I can only say I hope you can come back to it some day with a different outlook, which is to completely lose the mainstream views of it and go minimalist. The cushy version which is propagated by the mainstream view is the result of marketing. The truth is it was never meant to be easy. It's probably the hardest mission I've ever had in my life. And of course it's hard. This is the religion which asks you to endure the great pain and struggle of this world, and to confess your sins and repent. And it's so hard that nobody can do this to perfection, so we're supposed to let Jesus do that for us. That's what the faith is. It's isn't just random faith in a random book.
Somewhat jokingly, I'd say this was the "eat your vegetables and do your homework" religion. The homework part is particularly true, because so much stuff in the Bible needs to be researched in order to understand. There are also some forgeries that made it into certain versions. But I've never gotten permanently hung up on any of these issues after doing my homework.
And I hope that one day you gather enough wisdom so that you can see Christianity for what it is: a construction of a ruthless elite who have for 1500ish years used it to mold western society into a pathetic herd of easily controlled cattle so that they can slaughter you at will.
I've read the Bible about two dozen times, in every major English version, plus the apocrypha and the gnostic gospels if you ever want to discuss particular aspects of it.

God exists exactly as much as Satan: not at all.

I consider myself a mild Satanist, but I believe in neither God nor Satan nor any other superstitious nonsense.

I cant respect a satanist. At least be an atheist. You're rejecting religion by embracing a cult? Thats really not a good look.

I was a Christian for 25 years before I saw the light of rationality. I actually did a year of seminary.
