We get a bad rep, we're not what everybody thinks we are. I am making this thread to help educate people. I was once an atheist, but now I found satanism to be the religion I identify with the most.
Where's the educating? All you said is "we aren't what people make us out to be". That isn't doing any educating and won't change people's minds.
It's more for people to ask questions and easier for me to answer said questions then go through the whole thing
Well theres 2 forms of satanism, and the Anton Lavey satanism is the one I'm talking about, and it's more of an ideology rather than the satanists everyone categorizes us with. We dont particularly do rituals, especially the ones that are sacrificial, that's not us, that'd be the other satanists, as an Laveyan satanist, we are atheistic, where as the theistic satanists are the ones you want to stay away from
Satanism, the Satanic hoes. It's on topic see. They sacrifice themselves so they don't care about breathing. That's good head waiting to be experienced.
Ok lemme answer the question in, the Levayan Satanists aren't the ones that are sacrificial, in any way, we may conduct certain rituals, but no sacrifices
Satanism is the epitome of cringe You just said you guys got a bad wrap but are throwing that other brand of satanism under the bus saying they do sacrifices... Great. What are the major differences? Why do you have the same name?
Major differences are Levayan's are more atheistic, whereas the other one sees satan as a god like figure, Anton Levay used the term Satanism, satan, etc. for more of a jokingly manner to harass the churches, for what is said in the satanic bible, goes against everything the church stands for, or what is preached by the church, and what better way to píss them off by calling yourself a satanist
Again, it's cringey because the bible isn't satanic or evil... By definition, it's "godly"... And our definition of Satan and Hell and Evil are all defined within its own context.... What is the basis of Satanic ethics? Is it empathy? I feel like the basis of the religion is simply a cheap attack at a monolithic "Christianity"... Not protestant or Catholic or Lutheran or whateber other sect... without actually putting much forward to suggest a new way of life... And it does, it just seems to me to be based on empathy and hippy stuff, but I could be wrong about that so plz correct me. Is Satanism gonna last 1000+ years? Why? Why not?
