The whole idea was to free yourself from guilt for expressing yourself as you want to regardless of the others who are too weak to do so.
Hedonism.

No, or ekse you could just go to Hedonism Convention in Aruba or wherever it is.

It promotes a strong sense of self, yes. Could be construed as selfish I suppose. Funny how serving yourself is indicative of being an asshole, but shunning anyone outside of any religious club is being closer to the deity.

QUESTION: Who exactly is Satan?

He was a Cherubim with a wonderful title of " The Light Bearer" until he fell due to pride. He even lost his name. He somewhat restrained at this time. He is a powerful being. He was not created in Gods image as Humans are, but has far more power at this time. He is unforgiven, and has no hope, only revenge. He is the Accuser

Here you go..www.azquotes.com...

Anton taught the same though to put yourself first...
But as for do as thou wilt...
That just a rip off of Gods words...
Do as thou will... but whatever you do...do it with all your might...

I don;t remember a bible passage like that...

a reply to: 5StarOracle

So then surely you have proof to back up your words as I have?

For the purposes of this thread, the Church of Satan does not actually worship a deity, so there would be none in this thread.

In Wicca, in many accounts, Satan created the world with his sister Aradia, sort of like a fallen angel, not a devil.

There would be lots of interpretations.

Thanks.

I do know there is more to Satanism.

Its just been a while since I read anything on it.

That would be the Christian version?

You call that site you linked to be proof?

a reply to: 5StarOracle

Compared to say..yours? Absofreakingluetly!

a reply to: Annee

I know a lot about it because it has a lot of links to Wicca, sort of like the ''sullen cousin". I have been to a couple of services in San Francisco. Not even enough to make a conspiracy theory out of.

So is there any proof of Satanism as a religion before Lavey? Not dismissing Crowley but he denounced any ties to a "traditional" Satan.

You have one guy with Crowley and LaVey quotes that are publilc domain. Defiant expression is part of it, but not all of it.

a reply to: JinMI

I didn't link any site...
The only thing you have proven is that you dont know what proof is...

a reply to: 5StarOracle

Lets pretend your right in your assertion. Still, I would know what proof isn't.

Satanism dates to at least 1565. Luciferianism would be the most well known earliest.
