When told to read your Bible, do you respond with read your Satanic Bible?

Answer 1

Nah, I say; "Google (The subject in question) and find out for yourself" . I find it better to fight anti-technology with technology.

Answer 2

Why would I do that?

I read "The Satanic Bible" several times over the years (including LaVey's other books)and considered myself a follower of the "Left Hand Path" at some points in my life. I was even a member of the Temple of Set at one point.

I have changed my viewpoint by looking at the whole picture, not just the Satanic Bible. I would encourage Satanists to do the same.

LaVey was ambiguous in his approach to Satan and Satisnism...sometimes calling him a "dark force in nature", but other times he seemed to indicate "the man downstairs" as he called him, was a personification. Even his former followers like Michael Aquino (who had his own spinoff) didn't really seem to know where LaVey stood on the issue.Perhaps Lavey was trying to placate both sides of the crowd; the ones who really believed in Satan, and the ones who didn't.

LaVey lied about his accomplishments in life (orchestra member, lion tamer, etc.), and in fact, was a high school dropout. Despite claims of being a millionaire, he filled for bankruptcy in the 1990's. He no longer owned the broken down house he lived in (which had once been the infamous "black house" when he died. During the 80's, his fazmily lived in poverty and relied on handouts from his family and from public assitance (i.e., welfare, foodstamps, etc.). His teeth rotted out, which happenes to a lot of poor people.

His wife Diane sued him citing physical abuse. He had beaten her all during their 23 year shack up (they were never legally married). LaVey also abused and his his pets. A guy that beats his wife and kicks his dogs...not much of a man in anyone's book!

While LaVey claimed he trid to "keep the nuts out of the church of Satan", he claimed severalt times to have held a "cannibal feast" for the Church. What do you call a cannibal???

LaVey also forced his female followers into prostitution as part of his "Satanic sex therapy", and kept their earning, beating them when they didn't bring back enough money. In other words...he was a pimp! Despite the claim of not hurting children, LaVey admitted to police that he had been a passive observer while his own grandson Stanton was molested, (confirmed by police records and Zeena LaVey).

Now, eventually, when faced with this data, one must conclude:LaVey could not Stanism work. LaVey, rather than being the "alien elite" was little more than part of the criminal class. He abused women, children, & animals. His magic didn't work, and died poor and bankrupt. He was even a cannibal on at least one occasion.

And before you say to youurself "..but he was Jayne Mansfield's lover, blah , blah, blah" or "...he had a degree in criminology, blah blah, blah," just CHECK AND SEE if he really did these things, or if he only LIED about it! You can make excuses for him all you want (so do followers of L.Ron Hubbard, Hitler, Sung Yun Moon, Etc.), but it doesn't change the fact he was a looser and a liar.

Did all this chage my viewpoint? It sure did! LaVey was a con artist, not a "junkyard philospher" nor "offbeat intellectual". The only thing he was, was very,very overrated!

Answer 3

No,
but I agree with Mira, it makes just as much sense.
I ask how they can believe that we all came from adam and eve, if it started by only two people, then theirkids, their kids kids... ect.
well all this would be achived through insest, so why would God populate the world with insest then turn around and say it's a sin.
pretty contradictory.

The bible may be "the word of God"
but it was written by man. Mankind has flaws, and so does the bible

Answer 4

Not really,I find the Satanic bible pretty boring actually.

Too much, "Do as thou wilt crap."

I don't need a book to tell me THAT.

If you wanna read the best occult in this regard,forget LeVey,read Crowley.


Hey,and don't dismiss the Bible so easily.

It is the most occult book OF ALL.

Answer 5

No not at all. I respond with why should I? What is in it for me? Is it going to change my life in any way? Is it going to give me a perfect life cause the one i have is so good and any better will make it perfect?
Those are my most used responses.

Answer 6

I reply with something like:

"Thankyou, but as much as I respect your beliefs I do not myself have any interest in them and do not appreciate that you wish to convert me to your way of thinking"

That's the respectful answer. It all depends on how aggressive they are. It usually drives them insane when I tell them I am a pagan!!!!!!! I have a ton of ammunition for the rude ones though, e-mail if you need some tips!!! :)

Answer 7

No, instead I read the funny questions in Yahoo.

Answer 8

Of course. I prefer to read things that contain truth.

Answer 9

Yes. Hail Satan.

Answer 10

What would be the point of such a negative rsesponse?
