Traditional satanists really could care less if you believe in Satan, God or neither. Why is that? There are countless of supernatural accounts coming from their camps but ,if anything, the traditional satanist would rather you throw it in your bullsh** pile as they do your skepticism. Traditional or spiritual satanist are completely satisfied and even to a large extent support skeptic views of their highly concealed activities. Shouldn't this make someone turn their head? Oddly enough, mainstream media runs from these stories and these Satanist aren't particulary hurt by the lack of exposure either. Whats going on here? I've dealt with Salem Burke personally and his cohorts and they weren't very responsive to me. They displayed disgust that I was even asking for more info into their world. This is not typical of a religion but of a gang. It is really as simple as that.

More that Satanists as a whole expect you to do your own damn research. The materials are out there. Show yourself genuinely interested and willing to learn by putting it into practice. Otherwise, don't be surprised that they shrug you off like the rest of the media. You're not that important. They do what they do and get on with their lives, simple enough.

Why don't you tell us what you think is going on. That's what you're trying to get at - isn't it? Be honest. You're trying to suggest that something illegal is going on? If you want - I'll send you a copy of a tape showing a Daemonolatry ritual (we're technically theistic Satanists because Satan is at the top of our pantheon). I have nothing to hide and I'm pretty sure Salem Burke and pals have nothing to hide either. They probably feel their time would be wasted on you for whatever reason.
Also - I agree that you need to learn more. You obviously don't know much about the various forms of Satanism out there and that many who are Satanists are LaVeyan wherein Satan is a symbol (not an actual entity).

The ones related to the Church of Satan are not worshiping Satan. They just consider the image as a symbol. The most Satanist thing you could do is to forget about Satan and Satanism and just live your life as a free and independent human.
Think Atheist.

Do you have a point or a question even? What are your sources? I suspect you're just making things up.
I even suspect that you have a friend - a girl - who claims to be a satanist. I think she rejected you, and now you're trying to get revenge in this very odd way.

No its not a gang. it's a religion. because they have a set of beliefs
it is stated that they are looking for a few special individuals- this was never meant to be a large religion.
and keeping it quiet may be a good thing- stops a bunch of losers from joining and from people getting discriminated against

You may want to make a distinction between satanism as a religion, and satanistic cults.

Satanism doesn't really worship anything. They only do what they feel regardless. They do not convert because they do not preach anything more than hedonism.

You seem to have it all figured out. What is your question?
