No i'm not an aethiest, i am half and half. Believe in God, worship him. Believe in Satan, worship him. I figure that if i worship equally, more chance of ending up in limbo.

Hey, bud. If you look hard enough, you should be able to find yourself a copy online. That said, you're going to have to look pretty hard because the Church of Satan vociferously defends all of its copyrights and that includes Lavey's Satanic Bible. If it's really worth it to you to read Lavey, I suggest you shell out the eight bucks at your local bookstore.

That said, what you're describing doesn't fit into Lavey's concept of Satanism at all (at least in his later years, what he pushed early on is up for debate). Anton Lavey taught that ultimately the individual is master of his own soul. Going to anyone, be it Jehovah or Satan, for punishment or reward would be degradation from what I've read of LaVey.

Bear in mind, I'm not saying your self-description is bad or your belief system faulty, I'm just saying maybe you need to look somewhere else to find information that would complement and grow your worldview. Personally, I think that intuition that honor is owed to some of what we label good and some of what we label as evil is spot on. Rather than accepting the definitions handed to you of Jehovah and Satan and viewing yourself as hedging bets between them, consider that this might be your soul nudging you in the direction of a more integrated, expansive definition of the Divine (and thus of yourself, as we usually aspire to be like what we honor). I kind of agree with our concerned Christian friends - believing in both Jehovah and Satan will lead to spiritual and mental fracture. It might be best to let go of both of them and move on to a definition that you map out for yourself.

If you're interested in going that route, I suggest you take a look at the Internet Sacred Text Archive. They've got a lot of information for you to explore on your own (if you're really interested in satanism, go to their search page and shoot that into the system and see what you get), but not Lavey's Satanic Bible.

Good journey to you.

The Satanic Bible is a book by Anton Lavey which was published in 1969. The book is less about black magic and instead describes a philosophy of amoral and animal-like living which seems to be largely based on a rebellious emotional reaction to Christianity. It is likely that being in San Francisco in '69 colored the work also.
He claims to be breaking new ground but the book seems to simply describe the way a lot of people go about life anyway without all the fancy chanting and black robes.
It is easy to find on line, just go to Amazon or Ebay.
I present this answer in the spirit of free thinking. I am not a Christian but I will say I agree with them that when you start fooling around with dark, negative ideas they will not make your life Rosy. It's worth noting that Lavey ended up miserable, unhealthy, addicted, in conflict with many of his previous followers and obviously confused- towards the end of his life he was flirting with nazism although he was of a Jewish background.

Satan really has your mind tied up good now! You dabble in witchcraft sir and it will take you down so low you may end up in jail for God only knows what horrific crimes as you will lose all sense of right and wrong when you are fully on his territory. Here's the deal, God loves you and offers you peace, joy, an abundant life and the hope of life everlasting. Satan is out to kill, steal and destroy, going about the earth seeking whom he may devour. Don't like walk into his jaw-teeth with your eyes wide open! Foolishness!
I hereby proclaim: THE BLOOD OF JESUS CLEANSES FROM ALL (including blasphemy of God, Jesus, etc. but NOT the Holy Ghost which is attributing the power of God to the devil) SIN. You can find what you desire in Jesus alone. There are plenty of on-line KJV Bibles you can read and I suggest you start there first in the book of John and if you read the Bible through and through and still can't find peace, run to the nearest conservative Bible believing assembly where people live holy lives before God and beg them to pray for your soul because you need help. Hell is real and Heaven is real. You can't serve both masters. God is waiting to hear from you!

I hope and pray you are just joking! You cannot worship Gad and Satan. If you worship God, you will have no other. God wants all of you or none. Satan will take whatever scraps he can get. You must choose. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but someday. Hope your decision is a well thought out one!

Bless you, I mean it

If your talking about Anton Levy or somethingerother i found that the book feeds the ego a bit too much, while most religions branch off something morally good, Satanism seems to gain it's strength off of bashing other religious ways of thought. This whole idea of "self-worship" doesnt suit that well with me. "No man is an island"

HAHAHA! that is awesome! i dont know where to find it online, but i found it at barnes and noble for like $8. and it had the 2 major forms of satanism in it.

a good book, however, is the Necronomicon. it's about an ancient sumerian religion. i liked it better. if you watch metalocolypse and you saw the most recent episode, you'll understand this, but satanism is just the opposite of catholosism. just as boring and annoying.

plus, you cant have satan without the old testiment, which u dont need to believe in god.

You can find the Satanic Bible at Amazon .com.

You cannot serve 2 masters, doing this will only get you to one place, and that is Hell.

If you're looking for a Satanist bible, it's pretty obvious you're not Atheist. Don't confuse Atheist with Satanist. They aren't the same.

You cannot serve two masters. You must choose, and choose wisely because there is no such thing as limbo.

The name of it is The Necronomican written by Aliester Crowley

I encourage caution in reading it and performing any of its chants.
