Paul, paul.. you are dealing with 2 different animals here. It is one thing to say that a lot of priests had molested children, which is NOT part of being a Christian or practicing Christianism. It is WRONG in the view of THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH and it is NOT something that CHRISTIANS do.Originally Posted by admin
It is ONE OTHER THING to "allege" that MOST satanist DO NOT practice one form or another of that what was described above, which is RIGHT in the VIEW of THEIR CHURCH.
Do what you will shall be law, right??? It is mentioned in the book of LAVEY. I did not say that !!!
You and holding on to the idea that Satanism is about self worship.
Call it what you want. However you want to disect it. SATANism is the worship of SATAN, or the direct refusal of all that the Christian church stands for. Go with either definition and the answer is clear. The worship of SATAN is indeed the worship of SATAN. Rebellion agains God and Christ is the worship of SATAN. You either worship GOD or SATAN. There is no "referee" or Middleman.
Then how could you have missed such passages from LAVEY HIMSELF???Originally Posted by admin
On "The Satanic Bible", the "9 Satanic Statements" claim that "Satan represents indulgence, instead of abstinence". Represents materialism, instead of pipe dreams. Vengeance, instead of turning the other cheek. Satan represents man as just another animal, more often worse, the most vicious animal of all.
... "Here and now is our day of joy", proclaims, "eye for eye, tooth for tooth, aye four-fold, a hundred fold!"... kindness to those who deserve it, but if you want to kill them, do it!, morally or physically, because the main doctrine is "do what you want".
- It falls in the category of "public Satanism", with a symbolic Satan... but in the rites, "a nude woman" is the altar.
In the prayers, Satan is invoked and honored, and Jesus Christ is cursed... and that's not just a symbol!... 19 prayers are recited in "enochian language", a kind of old Arabic , and some of them end with this English translation: "Be friendly unto me, for I am the same!- the true worshiper of the highest and ineffable King of Hell".
Is that is not about adoring the Devil then I do not know what is.
