There are different types of satanism, Theistic Satanism and Laveyan Satanism. Theistic Satanists believe in actual demons and spirits while Lavayan Satanists are atheists and use Satan as symbolism. Satanism is a left hand path and it's goal is for the Satanist to become his own god.
Jesus: Actually no Satanists worship the devil not even Theistic Satanists, some do make a pact with him though. They do not believe anyone should degrade themselves by worshiping something.
Satanism is the worship of the almighty purveyor of kindness. I believed in god yesterday, i prayed to him, i even worshiped him and he laughed and spat at me. I believe you have to be one or the other, so satanism is the worship of the king of magnanimous love. I guess its where you call on Satan to protect those that you love because god sure as hell wont. He took the one thing that ever meant anything to me and so i call on Satan to make amends. I cannot turn to god again ... ever.
OH..
i happened to read about them like months ago..
they are the people who adopt the belief that "nothing" is wrong.. and Satan was good and deserves to be HONORED and GLORIFIED and WORSHIPPED for the evil powers he possess !!
its like they believe that good and evil is in everybody.. and therefore if somebody chooses to be good its their choice.. and if somebody chooses to be bad then its their choice as well..
they call them "good power" and "evil power".. and both are to be accepted by them.. and the figures who commit the "extreme" good and evil in life deserve to be honored and glorified :/
so in result.. they dint think bad of anyone who kills or oppresses or does whatever corruption in life.. but they glorify and honor its committee..!! based on the "belief" that its an EVIL POWER which these specific persons happen to possess and non others !! :/
they have some book as well.. i think its called "black book" or maybe "black bible".. i cant remember..
in the middle east there is also a religion that follows the same concept.. they are called the "Yazidians".. most of its followers are Kurds i think..
they follow the same concept of good and evil from the satanism "religion".. they named their religion after a man called 'Yazid bin Muawiyya' who was know for his oppression and committing massacres against the innocent and children such as the battle of Karbala..
..
but about Ur friend.. id say 80% she and many other teens know absolutely "nothing" about this "satanism" thing.. maybe she's only trying to sound "cool" and "different" and -belong- to some "odd" religion..
any hows.. u can only make sure by asking her what she believes in
and if its not what i mentioned above.. then believe me.. she's only trying to be "cool".. hehehe
Well then.
Satanism does not, in fact, promote any sort of senseless violence.
As there are the 10 Commandments in Christianity, there are also the 11 Satanic Rules of Earth, for LaVeyan Satanism:
1. Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
2. Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.
3. When in another?s home, show them respect or else do not go there.
4. If a guest in your home annoys you, treat them cruelly and without mercy.
5. Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
6. Do not take that which does not belong to you, unless it is a burden to the other person and they cry out to be relieved.
7. Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.
8. Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
9. Do not harm young children.
10. Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.
11. When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask them to stop. If they do not stop, destroy them.
Basically, LaVeyan Satanism is a philosophy promoting equality. Instead of "Treat others how you want to be treated" it's "Treat others how they've treated you"
Personally, I find it a lot better to be a dick to someone whose a dick to you, rather than be nice to them.
The Origins of Satanism
Satanism is not a Christian invention
Satanism predates Christianity and all other religions
Satanism is not about spooks, goblins, vampires, Halloween monsters or other related entities
Satanism is not about "evil"
Satanism is not an invention of, or a "reaction" to Christianity
Satanism is not a creation of Anton LaVey
Satanism is not about death
True Satanism is about elevating and empowering humanity to reach equality with the Gods, which was our True Creator (Satan's) intention
"IN THE SECRET OF MY KNOWLEDGE THERE IS NO GOD BUT ME"
-SATAN
From "Peace Be Unto Him"
Due to centuries of misinformation, lies, and the systematic removal of knowledge, few people these days understand or even know what ?Satanism? really is all about.
Christianity has been at liberty to dictate without any opposition, what they CLAIM Satanism to be. In order to accomplish this, the truth had to be destroyed. The Catholic Church (the original Christian Church, from which all Christian sects have evolved), heinously tortured to death and mass-murdered millions of innocent men, women and children in what was known as "The Inquisition." Some children who were burnt to death in what were known as "witch houses" were as young as two years of age.?
Christians forever rant and rave concerning the "one world order" where all identities, cultures, personal privacy's, and liberties will be lost and humanity, after being systematically bar-coded, will be lumped into a one-world slave state. What they fail to see is how their own so-called "religion" and bible have always been and are the roots of and blueprint for this regime. Everything in the Judeo/Christian Bible has been stolen and corrupted from religions predating Judaism, Christianity, and Islam from hundreds to thousands of years. Through Judaism and its tool of Christianity, all of the original spiritual teachings from around the world, (which are CONCEPTS) have been stolen from, lumped together into the "one," and corrupted into Jewish archetypes and characters and fictitious places. This has given the Jewish people as a whole a false history, political power and "spiritual" authority to which they are not entitled.
The bible is a very powerful subliminal tool to control the masses. One can see this is a man-made work as there are endless contradictions. The bible has been systematically drummed into the minds of the populace from a very early age. A lie must always be enforced as opposed to the truth which can stand on its own. Because spiritual knowledge and occult power have been removed and kept in the hands of a "chosen" few, the unknowing populace has been helpless against it. The agenda here is to create a one-world slave state with the "chosen" few ruling at the top. The perpetrators of course blame Satan to create a necessary distraction, while they use occult power to accomplish their ends. They have a history of stealing from and blaming their enemies for everything they really are and do, while always holding themselves in the highest esteem and innocence.
The original religions now known as "Satanism" (by the way, "Satan" means "enemy" in Hebrew), were all based upon what is known as the "Magnum Opus" or Great Work. The one known as "Satan" is our True Creator God. He was prevented by the other Gods from finishing his work on humanity, that of the godhead. The godhead is physical and spiritual perfection. Now, if you continue to read on, I will prove this.
The serpent is seen everywhere in ancient relics and structures. The serpent was held sacred in all areas of the ancient world. Satan is the God Ea, aka ENKI, one of the first of the Nephilim to arrive on this planet and establish the first civilization. In Sumerian mythology, Enki's symbol was always the serpent.
The serpent represents the DNA, the life force and the kindling and has survived as the emblem of the American Medical Association and Veterinary medicine, where it is symbolic of life and healing. Only with the coming of Judeo/Christianity, has this sacred symbol been desecrated and blasphemed.
Nearly all of us are familiar with the term "fallen." This word has been used copiously by Christian clergy to refer to Satan and his Demons. In truth, "fallen" pertains to the kindling serpent (which has always been associated with our Creator God Satan), which has fallen in humanity as a whole and now lies dormant at the base of the spine. Because of this, humanity as a whole is on a very low level of spiritual understanding. Thoughtless abuses of children and animals, senseless wars, brutality and endless corruption are the results of the fallen serpent. The "Tree of Life" which was stolen from the ancient Pagan religions and found its way into the biblical book of Genesis, was seen in many parts of the ancient world in friezes upon walls of ancient temples and in some tombs.
What's Satanism......?
