OK, so I admit this is based on light reading and first appearances, but although always thought satanists were either twisted charlie manson esque psycopaths (he wasnt one incidently) or attention seeking teenagers. However after doing a bit of reading, they dont seem half as batty as I thought.
Has anyone else actually read this stuff? What do they think?
Its odd, they dont believe in God OR the devil, per say, instead that as all gods are of human creation, worshipping an external god is to worship another human by proxy; therefore, the sensible, Satanic approach is to create your own god, namely yourself, and worship this god. This does not mean self abuse either.
I am not a satanist, and I dont intend to become one either, but its an interesting perspective and certainly food for thought.
I will include some quotes afterwards, but my source is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanic_Bible - take a look with a mind free of preconception and like me you might be surprised
