yes i have read LaVey/Crowley book(s), since it is the only credited source for the "RELIGION" called SATANISM. There is only one church of satan that i'm aware of, if you konw of another or another satanic bible please let me know, reading about the occult is way more interesting b/c of the interpetation. You have the bible, but shouldn't there be something for the advisary its beliefs are built around

Modern Satanism is generally (though mistakenly) regarded as a creation of Aleister Crowley (1875-1947). Aleister was in fact a very prominent ceremonial magician who based his rituals partly upon Judeo-Christian principles. He was raised in a Plymouth Brethren family, but developed an early dislike of organized conservative Christianity.

Yes, there are people who grave rob and slaughter animals b/c satan tells them too and they are prime examples to base something off of I guess if i did the same i could say all christians are physcho's BOMBING ABORTION CLINICS. A group of christians planed and did that i guess all christians are terrorist. That is a dumb way to look at things.

You can also turn it around..... so because the followers of LaVey believe in the worship of self, you can call Satanism a religion of self worship, which has nothing to do with the devil?

You said it yourself... Satanism under LaVey is a new movemennt. A new religion. But its implicaitons are older than that. He may have just taken "the good" and made up his own "movement". That does not mean that he is the "True" religion. I can build a church tomorrow and call it "Friends of the Christ" and preach that Christ loved, so let us love ourselves and others in the church by having sex. That does not mean that it is the "true" basis of Christian religion, just a deviation of that.

If you have indeed browsed the "occult" as you stated, you would realize where it all comes from. It is much deeper rooted than just a "protest" against Christian Faith. I do not believe that LaVey just sat down one day and said "hmm let me write a bible". He must have based some of his teaching on other documents as well, mainly during the latin era.
