Satanism - God Haters? Or People who enjoy life?

[FlyingJesus]

Well not entirely a media misrepresentation, there is also a theistic type of Satanism which is probably more ridiculous than Scientology in that it believes in everything in the Bible but decides to actively go against it all. Somewhat foolish really seeing as how by default their belief in the words of the Bible means they know they're damned to eternal torture by defying the teachings :S hence why nearly all modern Satanists are LaVeyan, because it actually makes a bit of sense lol

All I'm asking is why some guy needed to come up with a "philosophy" just to say what most people do anyway. You don't need to tell a lot of people in the modern world "ignore religion and party". How much did he make out of it?

[FlyingJesus]

Enough to build churches and stuff, so quite a bit I'd say. He was clever see, he took popular yet socially unaccepted ideas and turned it into occult, because that's where the money's at

Yeah but there most be some people that do sacrifices and are satanist :S For media to pick up on it.

I'm not Christian/Catholic and I do think the Pope is a pretty stupid figure, but the thing's he say's are followed from the Bible arn't they?
Not all religion's have these rules, but I think I understand Satanist abit more now.. I wouldn't personally agree with it, it seem's to me its just saying "do whatever you want if you don't agree with God's rules"..

An to say 'its impossiable to hate something that dosn't excist' they why are they worshipping the opposite of God? They said Satan was wrongly seen in the Bible.

Isn't it just like being Atheist anyways? Atheist have no rules and I would say Satanism dosn't have rules.. I wouldnt class "HAVE FUN" as a rule to be honest..

Well the bible definately doesn't say that you can't use a condom and therefore let christians in africa spread aids but.... it does have slight origins from words in the bible but then again that book is to be interpreted for the time that we live in not taken literaly

Its not literally have fun like they have their own version of the seven sins and that which are quite serious and not to do with just having fun. If I didn't reply to some of that its cos I can't quite understand what you mean or I have no time to try and understand (Been a long day)

Don't nearly all religions have, or have had some form of sacrifice? The Christian Bible does, the old testiment mentions sacrificing animals for when you give birth to a "dirty" girl, because if you don't, you have to sacrifice the girl, and there must be some truth behind it if it's in the bible. Afterall, they are meant to be truths and teaching :/

Also, as far as I am aware, the bible doesn't even mention Hell, other than says "They should burn etc." It's more of a figure of speech, than an actual place where the devil pokes you.

lol at "where the devil pokes you"

Yea of course it did, before Anton LaVey published the Satanic Bible there were all sorts of spin offs of "Satanism" but since that book was published his version has become the "accepted" form of Satanism and that totaly condems sacrifices of animals humans etc. But you would still find people who call themselves satanists who may or may not perform sacrifices but they are not linked tho Anton LaVey's Satanic Church.

And the bible does mention hell but it is a place in jerusalem or somewhere not the center of the earth etc lol

I don't think it does, not even as a place in Jerusalem. Although I've not read that much of the bible, other than women are supposedly evil and gay people are actually meant to be welcomed by the church, not cast away. But as the same time they should be

I don't see anything wrong with Satanism, do they even do modern day sacrifices?

[jackass]

Well that just proves that you are as ignorrant as the people that the Satanic Bible talks about because you are being prejudice about Satanists.

Ignorant? Prejudice? Ha!

I have no respect for Satanists.

Their modern day "Sacrifices" are more spiritual than sliting a rams throat lol Like a bit more like voodoo but they perform "Black Magic" in a way... I doubt it works but it is there life lol.

There was a website about it but I think it got taken down because the city it was refering too was angry about it. But it is a place it was refering to a valley where they burned stuff and was basicly a rubbish tip that was always on fire... lol though
