Any Satanists?

By Satanists you mean.....?

(Edit: Wikied it. So you mean people who consider themselves anti-christian, or worship the enemy of god, or believe in themselves, or have some desire to be different (rock bands etc)....? Help :|)

What kind of Satanism? LeVeyan Satanism or theistic Satanism?

EDIT: Or anti-cosmic Satanism?

Sorry, I don't believe that Satan exists.

Even if he did, I wouldn't praise him.

I wouldn't say that most people that consider themselves satanists really believe in Satan. Maybe they like Hellboy, but not Satan.

There used to be a whole truckload of Satanists on here. They spent 3/4 of their posts dispelling myths that their religion involved drinking goat blood and sacrificing small children.FragStains

I'd imagine most satanists are not serious about believing in it, but just do it to for the coolness factor of being evil and anti Christian. You'd have to be a Christian to be a Satanist since they are part of the same thing, just making out that you worship the bad guy.

However, just say we really did live in this world of opposites, Heaven and Hell. I'll go over to the dark side. The reason is, I have a troubling nature which will make it difficult for me to follow that 10 commandment code. I'll just be a failed Christian and end up in Hell anyway, where the Devil has his field day on me. However if I devote myself to him with my life, i'll do it in the hopes of being granted his favor. With Hell on your side you have nothing left to fear.

I know little about Satanism, so I would assume that they don't directly believe in Satan, but probably the ideas he supposedly spread throughout the world.

Not here :|MKLOL

In LaVey's Satanism, Satan is merely a symbol that represents satanists' opposition towards believing in deities, in particular the christian God. Not really much more to it, I think.

I see. I might look up a summary of the book sometime in the future; my family would probably get the wrong impression if I came home with the devil's holy book in my grasp.

Oh no? Ask all the parents here if they've ever told their kids about "Santa". Open and shut case.

May I ask why you are no longer a LaVeyan Satanist? Although I'm not an open LaVeyan Satanist, I would classify myself as being one by definition.michaelP4

I still loosely follow the core ideas behind it, but it's just that there's certain beliefs entailed within the ideology that makes it such that I wouldn't lump myself into the following as I once did.

I used to be a LaVeyan Satanist.Blood-Scribe
