satanism is a branch of christianity

[cptdeath]

i Guess satanist believe there is no afterlife that they will never be punished for their sins. but they believe in sin?

how misguided it seems people chose to be.

suppose if you ask some one what to believe in they'll tell you.

what do we know about the church of satan and is it that different then normal church?

would a satanist help an old lady across a busy street just to tell her there is no heaven?

would the old lady be thankfull for the help? :devil

who is helping who? and what do they think their doing?

[unchaste]

I'm not a Satanist, but I have actually read the Satanic bible. It's a bit interesting, if selfish.

The main teaching of Satanism is a spin on the Golden Rule: rather than "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you", they teach "Do unto others as they have done to you".

It is a form of Christianity in that they believe that there is a God & a Devil, but they decided to hop onto Satan's boat. They do not believe in sin. It's basically like Denis Leary said: "Don't murder anyone and don't have sex with children, everything else is okay." Satanists are in a sense just overgrown children. They see no wrong in doing what pleases you, unless, of course, it really hurts someone else.

It's been so long since I've read it though, I honestly can not remember what they think about the afterlife (or lack thereof). Sorry.

Oh, and it's just a myth that they sacrifice animal & virgins. Some of their "ceremonies" require blood, a small gash on a willing participants arm is sufficient.

thats not hardcore

headenism and satanism sound similar

No, sadly, the true Satanists aren't really that hardcore.

Seriously, go to Waldenbooks & pick up a copy of the Satanic bible. It's by Anton Szandor LaVey. It's an interesting read.

[Daevion]

all hail Lavey!!! all hail satan!!! god save the queen! Long live the king!

The church of satan is corrupt, unlike the true and just church based in Rome.

Jesus saves and LaVey is a freak

Today the Pope took his shit of the week

Send me your money and you will be saved

Otherwise you will die in hell all depraved

The church of satan are a bunch of washed up pansies...those wimps don't even have animal sacrifices or eat children...so I fart in there general direction!!!

ALL HAIL THE GREAT VOID!

[Homicidalheathen]

Have read the satanic bible. All I got out of it was that part towards the end where they talk about sticking up for oneself and at the time in my life I needed to hear it.

The whole thing reads like a how too manual for the sociopaths.

I have a freind who is in touch with his animal side in the astrial and his spirit body has horns and hoofs......I actually saw it.

This guy I know is into evolutionary phycology and he is totally pre agriculture....which I hate. Agriculture is part of our evolution.

It is what gets one in touch with their horned side....wheat and whatnot.

I have a baphmet statue on my altar and it represents a side of the sun god I saw in a vision.......one with hoof and horn.

Our animal side.

Not satan. I believe in charma........not 'sin'.

But I am called a 'Satanist' by many people because I meditate with trees and talk to pan.......in the forest......

I have horned dieties on my altar.

It does not make me a satanist.......I dont even belong to the church of satan just put it in my yahoo profile to scare the weirdos away.

But if someone sees my profile and wont sign me up because of that then sqrew them........I don't want to be friends with people that judgemental anyway....ya know?

[Daevion]

maybe I should go join the church of satan for my amusement ...or it could be fun to join some born again christian church.....I could pretend to believe easily enough and then I would have some some fresh fodder to bash online...muahahaha One problem is that for some reason every born again I've ever met hated me on the flip side every satanist I've met liked me...who knows maybe its my destiny to join the dark side of the force and usher in the new apocalypse. :devi

thats awesome!! :laughing

way too funny

"The Cosmic Star Goat (The one and only True God) sent His son, Billy, to die on the Wholly B-B-Q Pit for our sins. If you do not BELIEVE in Billy, you will be eaten on Judgment Day by The Cosmic Star Goat, to stew in the Wholly Bile for all of eternity. "

[phee]

If one actually believes in Satan... Than one must believe in God...

Interesting that most people seem to equate Satanism and/or Devil worship with Anton Levay, when in fact - devil worship is actually thousands of years old.

Anton just represents pop culture's version.

I have a hard time understanding the desire to utilize a fairly recent peice of western documentation as the basic tenants of Satanism.

ahh, good and evil. often i align with good as long as nobody i'm friends with is the target. but my friends are on the darkside and i'm allways welcome

[cptdeath]

if you become ordained in it as a minister or something you could say your home was a church(of satan) and would not have to pay taxes anymore. just like our foriegn friends who don't pay taxes for 7 years on the gas stations they own

I guess churches and foriegners don't pay taxes

[Scary Guy]

I know of a gas station that is a church. Or at least a minister is working there.

The Church of Satan believes that all churches should be taxed, and as such they themselves do not have tax exemption status.

some of the spew that's been posted in this thread is quite amusing.
