Satanists are evil people. I have dealt with them before I don't know if Satan actually exist, but the people that follow him are just plain evil.

kwr, perhaps some might be considered evil, but there are many that call themselves satanists, but do not actually practice true satanism.

True Satanists do not follow Satan. Satanists do not believe that he is real. Satanists live by a strict code.

Satan worshipers however probably do worship Satan, They believe in Satan. They are the ones that perform those disgusting and harmful/murderous rituals that hurt other people, animals and children. Satanists detest those who hurt animals and children.

The Nine Satanic Statements

I
Satan represents indulgence, instead of abstinence

II
Satan represents vital existence, instead of spiritual pipe dreams

III
Satan represents undefiled wisdom, instead of hypocritical self-deceit

IV
Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it, instead of love wasted on ingrates

V
Satan represents vengeance, instead of turning the other cheek

VI
Satan represents responsibility to the responsible, instead of concern for psychic vampires

VII
Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all fours, who, because of his "divine spiritual and intellectual development, has become the most vicious animal of all

VIII
Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification

IX
Satan is the best friend the church has ever had, as he has kept it in business all these years

The Nine Satanic Sins

1.Stupidity—The top of the list for Satanic Sins. The Cardinal Sin of Satanism. It’s too bad that stupidity isn’t painful. Ignorance is one thing, but our society thrives increasingly on stupidity. It depends on people going along with whatever they are told. The media promotes a cultivated stupidity as a posture that is not only acceptable but laudable. Satanists must learn to see through the tricks and cannot afford to be stupid.

2. Pretentiousness—Empty posturing can be most irritating and isn’t applying the cardinal rules of Lesser Magic. On equal footing with stupidity for what keeps the money in circulation these days. Everyone’s made to feel like a big shot, whether they can come up with the goods or not.

3. Solipsism—Can be very dangerous for Satanists. Projecting your reactions, responses and sensibilities onto someone who is probably far less attuned than you are. It is the mistake of expecting people to give you the same consideration, courtesy and respect that you naturally give them. They won’t. Instead, Satanists must strive to apply the dictum of “Do unto others as they do unto you.” It’s work for most of us and requires constant vigilance lest you slip into a comfortable illusion of everyone being like you. As has been said, certain utopias would be ideal in a nation of philosophers, but unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately, from a Machiavellian standpoint) we are far from that point.

4. Self-deceit—It’s in the “Nine Satanic Statements” but deserves to be repeated here. Another cardinal sin. We must not pay homage to any of the sacred cows presented to us, including the roles we are expected to play ourselves. The only time self-deceit should be entered into is when it’s fun, and with awareness. But then, it’s not self-deceit!

5. Herd Conformity—That’s obvious from a Satanic stance. It’s all right to conform to a person’s wishes, if it ultimately benefits you. But only fools follow along with the herd, letting an impersonal entity dictate to you. The key is to choose a master wisely instead of being enslaved by the whims of the many.

6. Lack of Perspective—Again, this one can lead to a lot of pain for a Satanist. You must never lose sight of who and what you are, and what a threat you can be, by your very existence. We are making history right now, every day. Always keep the wider historical and social picture in mind. That is an important key to both Lesser and Greater Magic. See the patterns and fit things together as you want the pieces to fall into place. Do not be swayed by herd constraints—know that you are working on another level entirely from the rest of the world.

7. Forgetfulness of Past Orthodoxies—Be aware that this is one of the keys to brainwashing people into accepting something new and different, when in reality it’s something that was once widely accepted but is now presented in a new package. We are expected to rave about the genius of the creator and forget the original. This makes for a disposable society.

8. Counterproductive Pride—That first word is important. Pride is great up to the point you begin to throw out the baby with the bathwater. The rule of Satanism is: if it works for you, great. When it stops working for you, when you’ve painted yourself into a corner and the only way out is to say, I’m sorry, I made a mistake, I wish we could compromise somehow, then do it.

9. Lack of Aesthetics—This is the physical application of the Balance Factor. Aesthetics is important in Lesser Magic and should be cultivated. It is obvious that no one can collect any money off classical standards of beauty and form most of the time so they are discouraged in a consumer society, but an eye for beauty, for balance, is an essential Satanic tool and must be applied for greatest magical effectiveness. It’s not what’s supposed to be pleasing—it’s what is. Aesthetics is a personal thing, reflective of one’s own nature, but there are universally pleasing and harmonious configurations that should not be denied.

Now you know what Satanists are about.

Only with knowledge, can ignorance be defeated. Knowledge is the cure for prejudice.

The Wrath of God visits the small village of Nyos

by daystar in

and it came to pass that the teacher entered the small village of nyos.

the people of nyos were idolators and worshippers of false gods and had no love for the true god.

and so the teacher spoke with the village elders and its holy men to teach them of the one true god, but they would not hear.. and the people of nyos continued in their evil ways as adulterers, liars, thieves and murderers.

i've been invited to join the freemason's.

the story behind this happening is this.

i was talking to a guy i know very well, and i noticed he had a masonic emblem {the compass and square} on his ring.

eclipse

oops, my bad, bigdreaux, I thought the beginning was saying the opposite..

so sorry! thanks for reading it for me!

I am of the belief that anyone who says, ''those people worship the devil'' are either misinformed or prejudiced. just my opinion.

I like and respect you too, bigdreaux
