you see, i dont understand the existence of the church of satan. i have been a satanist, for a couple years. i understood the philosophy and still retain some "satanic" qualities; i.e. never disrespect an indivudla in thier own environment. it has some sound bases to it, but the only real problem with it is...
the ideals of the satanic church are that satan is not an object, but an icon of freedom. they dont pray to satan, they dont worship satan, and they certainly dont go around preaching satan. there is no absolute need for a connection to satan at all in the basic philosophy of the satanic church's doctrine.
now you might be thinking "well why did you just tell us that ac? are you thinking on a subhuman level again?" no, im not, basically what ive just told you is that with anton szandor lavey satanism, and like all organized religions, there are holes. there are faults that can undermine and ruin the religion as a whole. this part of the article is called exploitation. now these people are people. that is essentialy what they preach, and what i stand for. being human and living life because "there is nothing after life" no heaven or hell, nothing. ok now that we have the basic satanic thought written out in idiot form, we have to delve deeper and pick this fragile existance apart piece by piece. why am i doing this? because i feel it needs to be done and im tired/bored as fock.
so then. we have the thought process, being, "live life to its fullest because theres nothing after life" plain and simply shot to pieces, no one knows whats after life unless youre already there. the thought process... broken... it now becomes a matter of opinion and the church loses potential customers. if you dont know about this part... there is a card you purchase from the church for the amiable price of 100 usd, this card gets you into special church of satan meetings and rituals, etc. this information cn be found on the church of satan website. this brings me to my second project. the card. 100 dollars for a piece of paper/plastic that says you are officially a member. you cannot purchase this card below the age of 18. now then, what does this remind you of? maybe... that point at which the collection plate gets passed around in a christianly setting? yes, thats it. becoming the very thing you stand against. mmm... irony. the current high priest of the church of satan will tell you that in hebrew satan means adversary, and that the church its self is the adversary of religion. god damn did i not just provoke another rancid thought of hypocrisy? i am nodding slowly, as we all know satanists are never hypocritical.
this next part infers to the satanic handle of anger towards fellow man. catholocism has this thing called confession. lavey satanism has this thing called a ritual chamber. now i think some of you are going to laugh at this, i know i sure did. basically what you do is you enter the ritual chamber, you invision the individual that has thwarted your insignicant daily routine, and you take up a voodoo doll, or recite a small angry emo fag poem, and you exit the chamber leaving all you felt and said in that room. now, you might be thinking "well isnt there satanic magic?" yes, there is, if you know nothing about lavey himself he ran away to join the circus at a young age. no joke, and im sure while he was there he learned some wicked sick magic from fred the beared lady. why am i slamming satanism so hard? mainly because satanist WILL state that they do not believe the magic will work, and dont expect it to, so now all i have to fear is... a broken hearted docile freak dressed all in black with no real intentions of doing any harm to me. they are in essence hindu cows. hehe.
im bringing this to an abrupt close because i forgot a large portion of my thought process due to lack of sleep. anyway, the heads of the church state that they are merely being human, and that if you look in the satanic bible you should be able to find qualities that classify you as a satanist, just so long as you start out as an athiest when you begin to read the satanic bible. well holy f***in s***! sounds like a magnificiently fabricated book of secrets to me! with every common fortune tellers blatantly vague description of how you should live your life. granted there are primitive codes like the one i stated before "dont disrespect so and so blah blah blah" but who doesnt live by that? outside of drunks who dont know better... and the united states law enforcement, but who the hell cares? simple fact of the matter is that the church... need not exist. its doing more harm to its self by existing than it is by simply being a thought passed around from person to person, i mean that is in essence what it stand for yes? the simple thought that you dont need a religion to have a religion. so come on satan kiddies, break it up and move along. the antichrist doesnt like your showcase of magnificient stage drama, and ive got a hankering not too many other people who really care about religion do either.
and thats pretty much where i stand, much like my political stand point because religion and politics are equal in all ways shapes and forms. i dare not even classify myself as an athiest, it would be against my proper standing of not having a stand point to begin with. im just on the hill shouting at everyone for being retarded.

| thats exactly my point mic, theres no need to have an organized religion based on something symbolic from the bible when it has nothing to do with the bible and goes against organized religion in the first place. i believe the satan factor in this ideology of a religion is a variable and could easily be replaced with ... donuts, beer, anything, or better yet nothing at all since it poses no real purpose to have an image set forth. i would ask them why they chose satan but i would get the same answer i stated in the article "it means adversary" but whos fighting who in what battle? as for the live life to its fullest, i dont preach that, because some people can get carried away and end up in a worse place far away from where they want to be. im not a dream chaser, i dont know if thats a good thing or a bad thing. is that the one movie where she is in africa and boinks a dirty dick and gets syphillys? thats the only meryl streep movie ive ever seen heheh. |

| Eve was framed. Jezebel got a bad rap. Why all the Satan haters? George Carlin said it best, that once early man stopped slaughtering merchants and shamans, we were doomed, and all we've been doing for the past 5000 years is playing out a bad hand. But it is fun to watch some days. As for the chamber emo fag poetry to exorcise against your enemies, every personal development group-church-12 step program has this concept. Whether its dealing with them pro-actively, using visualization, getting away, giving them the 1 finger wave, or loving your enemies, each group has their own way of helping people deal with sh!theads. Otherwise the group has little reason to exist. Republikkkans usually go with slandering their enemies for years then, if that fails, whip up an angry mob to go lynching. Examples include every attack against gays (Shepherd), and that black guy that got murdered in Texas ( behind the pick up) when ChuckleNuts was Govnur. Heck, even the MinuteMen on the border. |

| Satan just has a bad rap. What does Satan mean to me, well Satan is a lot like Santa Clause. Makes good stories to tell, makes a great movie, and is to threaten little kids with. If you ask me, anyone in an organized satanic church is actually in a Pagan, Jewish, Christian, Catholic, Mormon or Jahovas Witness church. Because those churches are like the parents telling their children about Santa Clause, they know full well the he doesn't exist, but threats of his existence will make kids do what they want them to do. That's all I have to say about that. |

| actually normalized in the satanic bible satan is represented by the black scape goat used to relieve sin of a community, thus they get the upside down pentagram with a goats head in it (sigil of baphomet). the idea is that the goat represents freedom from ones burdens. so technically in the church of satan, satan was always good and innocent. funny to think about, no? and phaedrus, i completely dismiss the story of adam and eve as a christian wives tale. everyone has to have thier own little version of why humans suck and are stuck on a planet where a monothiestic god ceases to physically exist. and what happened to just dealing with the people that pissed you off? throw a chair at them or something? why do we need soft little support group crap to get a grip? |

| Tom, Al Franken is still on the air, but not in Phoenix. You can't blame this on The Antichrist -- it probably cost too much to syndicate Franken. I wish there were some way to pick up both Franken and Hartman, but they broadcast at the same time.

As for live life to its fullest, that belief can be incorporated into standard Christianity and other mainstream faiths with God as the creator. Simply replace the struggle of good versus evil with the struggle to squeeze as much life out of the limited amount of time we have in this world, and you got something sounding a lot like your belief system (and something sounding a lot more palatable to me as well). Have you ever seen Albert Brooks movie Defending Your Life starring him and Meryl Streep?
