People have been programmed to think satan is some red-tailed, horned monster when in fact he could be looking them in the eyes as they say stupid shit like this.
A grave misconception about Satanism is that it's about Christianity.
Got nothing to do with it.
Satanism is the practice of self reliance, self love, self respect.
I actually know a couple of practitioners, since high school if I'm being honest. They are exactly what this statement says : harmless, in every way.
They don't wear all black. They don't denounce any religion. They don't even say Satan is their god, because he isn't. If you're a Satanist, YOU are your OWN god. Satanism is cored in writing your own story, 100% non influenced by anyone else.
Free Masonic Satanism ; totally different ballgame.
Satanism as 'invented' by Anton Lavey is what I describe above. A whole lot of people have been massively misinformed about Satanism due to Mr. Lavey's association with Alister Crawley and his ( Lavey ) side love for the occult. Satanism is not the occult. The "Satan" referred to is just the "power" the belief of Satanism gives you. Pride, self esteem, honour in your word and work. Believing in "Satan" is believing in yourself.
It’s a wanker system for wankers. Anton did worship the Devil. He successfully mainstreamed it. Him and the military guy broke off over this. The Temple of Set guy felt they should preach true Devil worship, but Anton wanted to break into mainstream. Both believed the Devil was very real and they have fooled many into a Satan lite system.
Only the most pathetic worship themselves. The second most pathetic, worship the Devil.
Satan's greatest accomplishment was to convince man that he doesn't exist.

Wow, reddit is a shithole.
That is probably just one of the Satanist gatekeeping the normies.
Sure, just like BLM and Antifa are mostly peaceful protesters!
This statement is correct though.

That's exactly it. Selfishness. Christianity is about selflessness. Helping others. Not thinking about yourself.

That’s Crowley not Lavey.
(Sincerely) Pardon moi...you are correct, it is Crowley

I should say / should've said that it's not my belief system. I just want to make sure that wasn't conveyed in what I posted.
