(Gazzer: I'd just like to point out
that I'm TOTALLY against SATANISM

this Article very seriously.

nice reasonable animal sacrifices...
Virgins are harder to get, but If you're

SATANISM TODAY - A SERIOUS REPORT
While looking through Forbidden
Planet (the bookshop, not the BBS)
Myself and PoLaRiS came across the
SATANIC bible by Anton Szandor LaVey.
It is a black book with the symbol of
Baphomet (An inverted pentagram with a goat's head on the inside of
two circles with Leviathan written in Hebrew around the inner
circle)printed on the front in pink.Hmm,I thought,that would look good
in Amnesia,immediately became a Satanist.
The book is made up of four books,one for each crown prince of
hell:Satan,Lucifer,Belial and Leviathan.
The book of satan is only about ten pages long,and is a parody of the
Christian bible,with a few slight alterations.
Blessed are the strong,for they shall possess the earth-
Cursed are the weak,for they shall inherit the yoke!
Blessed are the powerful,for they shall be reverenced
among men-Cursed are the feeble,for they shall be
blotted out!
Blessed are the Bold,for they shall be masters of the
world-Cursed are the righteously humble,for they shall
be trodden under cloven hooves!
Blessed are the victorious,for victory is the basis of right
-Cursed are the vanquised,for they shall be vassals forever!
Blessed are the iron handed, for the unfit shall flee before
them-Cursed are the poor in spirit,for they shall be
spat upon!
Blessed are the death defiant,for their days shall be long in
the land-Cursed are the gazers towards a richer life beyond the
grave, for they shall perish amidst plenty!
Blessed are the destroyers of false hope,for they are the true
messiahs-Cursed are the God adorers,fpor they shall be shorn as
sheep!
Blessed are the valiant,for they shall obtain great treasure
Cursed are the believers in good and evil,for they are
frightened by shadows!
The Book of Lucifer is a longer book,stating in modern terms the
philosophies of Satanism.Basically,it represents indulgence instead of
abstainance,vengance instead of tolerance,self preservation,and a
hatred of all hypocrisy.It encourages all of the seven deadly sins,
because they all lead to physical,mental and emotional gratification.
It also maintains that man is just another animal,sometimes better,
more often worse.
The seven deadly sins are encouraged by Satanism because they are all
natural actions,and the Christian church knew this,and declared them
sins,because they knew that no one was free from them,thus maintaining
their power over their flock.Satanism asks,what is wrong with being
human? If you suppress all your natural urges,you will become
frustrated and your creative instincts will become distorted.
Satanism is NOT the worship of that dude with 666 through his horns.
The satanist defines satan as the dark forces of nature which are not
yet comprehensible to mankind.This is far to impersonal to care about
the behaviour of you and me,and the rest of the human race.Satanism
maintains that man is responsible for everything in the universe,and
there is no such thing as God's will.Anyone who thinks that satan is
evil should consider all the men,women and children who have died
because it was "God's will".Surely,if God is in complete control and
as benign as he is supposed to be,why does he allow such things to
happen?
Satanism states that God is an invention of man, to externalise his
true self.Just because he has an ego and cannot accept it, he calls it
this great external spiritual device which he calls "God",in order to
engage in ritual and religious ceremony in his name.If man
worships an entity that was created by another human being,he is,
by proxy, WORSHIPING THAT PERSON!Man needs ritual and dogma,but why
not worship a god created with your own emotional needs in mind -
one that best represents the very carnal and physical being that has
the idea power to invent god in the first place? If you insist on
externalising your true self into "God" why fear your true self in
fearing "God"?
When all faith in religious lies has waned,man has become farther
from "God" and closer to himself;closer to the "Devil".
If this is what the devil represents,then man is the Devil,and a man
who wishes himself to be successful is furthering the devil's cause.
Satanism's attitude regarding sex is that you should be free to
practice any sexuality you want,as long as you do not hurt anybody
else.Therefore,satanism does NOT advocate rape,child molestation,
bestiality (sheep shagging) etc. as this would infringe the sexual
freedom of the other person (or sheep).Satanism advocates sexual
freedom,literally.It would not encourage extramarital affairs or
orgiastic activity unless it comes naturally to that person.Many
sexual freedom groups have missed the whole point.To some having an
extramarital affair would be greatly detrimental to that person and
his spouse,to others being tied to the one person would be extremely
frustrating.
One of the most misconcieved ideas about satanism are concerning
sacrifices.Part of an animal would only be used in a ritual if it had
been killed for food anyway.No animal or baby would be sacrificed,
because (apart from the fact that they are undeserving) man,the
animal,is the godhead to the satanist,and the purest form of carnal
existance is to be found in animals and human children who have not
yet learned to suppress their natural desires.The satanist holds these
beings in sacred regard,and would not sacrifice them.
The only form of sacrifice is the HUMAN SACRIFICE.This is,however,
largely symbolic, in order to release to caster's wrath and anger,and
more importantly,to dispose of a truly obnoxious and deserving
individual.The death of the victim is brought about by means not
directly attributable to the caster.THE CASTER DOES NOT ACTUALLY KILL
THE VICTIM!They curse the person in question,and hence releases all
their repressed anger and hatred.The ritual is employed only on
someone who has unjustly wronged the caster,whom the caster does not
care about,should they live or die,and if the curse actually leads to
the destruction of the person in question,all the better.
Lastly,satanism does NOT incite suicide.Those subliminal "suicide"
messages on Judas Priest albums are not truly satanic (if they even
existed,which they don't).Satan represents indulgence,not abstainence.
Life is the great indulgence,and death is the great abstinance!An
animal will fight to the death to keep its life,and so would man,if he
was not so "highly evolved".Life is a party,and no one wants to leave
a truly good party!
These are the basic principles of satanism.The rest of the book
details satanic ritual,and explains the theory of satanic magic.If you
are interested,The Satanic Bible is available from Avon books for
IR£6.99 and I think can be bought in Forbidden Planet book shop.
AVE SATAN!
