2. Satanism(LaVeyan) 3. Do you know why youre here??Do you know where you are going? 4. Why do most search up here for?Is there really anything up there? 5. Why do we commit the sins that are said to be wrong 6. Why not live carefree and enjoy the wrongs of ourhuman nature You can hear it right? That little whisper inyour eartelling you to do it 7. You are your own person, why believe that you mustanswer to anyone?Ask yourself , is there really someone watching over me? Or isit just a figment of my imagination? Is it something I believe to betrue, or is it something that I know is true?Think about it.would you believe it if I told you I saw a manwalk on water? What about cure a blind man without medicine?Turn one liquid into another? No right? What if I wrote it in abook long ago? Even worse right? 8. Let us see what Satanism is about1. Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence!Why should you deny the pleasures of the physical world? Instead indulge in them, they are there for a reason, enjoy them. Control is thekey to indulgence, we must never become addicted to it; surrendering controlis never encouraged. 9. 2. Satan represents vital existence instead ofspiritual pipe dreams!Why not live your life believing in yourself and the world aroundat that point in life? The truth of that existence is to be honored and sought at all times, never to be sacrificed for a comforting lie or an unverified claim one cannot bother to investigate. 10. 3. Satan represents undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit! True knowledge takes work and strength. It is something onefinds rather than what will be handed to you. Doubt everything and avoid dogma. Truth tells of how the world truly is, not of how we would like it to be. Be wary of shallow emotional wants, for theyfrequently can only be satisfied at the expense of truth. 11. 4. Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it, not love wasted on ingrates!Satanism does not encourage hate nor cruelty towards others.There is no point in that but neither is there a need to treat others kindly when they will not appreciate it. Treat others as they treat you. 12. 5. Satan represents vengeance instead of turningthe other cheek!Does this make sense? Turning the other check when others wrong you? Leaving wrongs unpunished leads to showing weakness andencouraging others to continue to prey on yourself and others. Butjust because you must not allow this, does not mean that you shouldbecome a bully in the name of vengeancethis is not encouraged and you deserve to be dealt with accordingly. 13. 6. Satan represents responsibility to theresponsible...! Satan represents responsibility to the responsible instead ofconcern for psychic vampires! Real leaders are determined by theiractions and accomplishments, not their titles, and real power andresponsibility should be given to those who can wield it, not to thosewho simply demand it. 14. 7. Satan represents man as just another animal...!Are we better than those that walk on all four legs? Humanity is driven by the same natural urges that other animals experience.Our development has no doubt caused us to accomplish great things but it has also brought cruelty throughout history; we are the most vicious animal of all. 15. 8. Satan represents all of the so-called sins...!These sins lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification, sowhy are we denying them? What is a sin and who named it that? A sin is something that breaks a moral or religious law, Satanismdoesnt believe in following of this dogma. When a person avoids andaction, it should be for concrete reasons; not because dogmaportraits it as bad. When a true wrong is committed a person should accept it, learn from it, and not do it again; not be begging on hands and knees for forgiveness. 16. 9. Satan has been the best friend the Church hasever had...! Satan has been the best friend the Church has ever had, as Hehas kept it in business all these years! This last statement is largely a declaration against dogmatic and fear-based religion. Ifthere were no temptations, if we did not have the natures that wedo, if there was nothing to fear, then few people would submit themselves to the rules and abuses that have developed in other religions (specifically Christianity) over the centuries. 17. The 10 commandments?.the Nine Satanic Sins 1. Stupidity2. Pretentiousness 3. Solipsism4. Self-Deceit 5. Herd Conformity6. Lack of Perspective 7. Forgetful of Past Orthodoxies8. Counterproductive Pride9. Lack of Aesthetics 18. So what is the truth? Satan is a myth, just like God and other deities. Satan is also,however, incredibly symbolic, representing all of those thingswithin our natures that outsiders might tell us is dirty and unacceptable. The chant of Hail Satan! is really saying Hailme! It exults the self and rejects the self-denying lessons ofsociety. Finally, Satan represents rebellion, just as Satan rebelled against God in Christianity. Identifying oneself as a Satanist is to go against expectations, cultural norms, and religious creeds. 19. Who shall guide us? Just another man Officially formed the church of Satan on the night of April 30- May 1, 1966 and published the Satanic Bible in 1969Anton LaVey 20. We must see what is reality and what is fiction
