What is the difference between Satanism and Libertarianism?

Question

The Nine Satanic Statements
1. Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence!
2. Satan represents vital existence instead of spiritual pipe dreams!
3. Satan represents undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit!
4. Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it instead of love wasted on ingrates!
5. Satan represents vengeance instead of turning the other cheek!
6. Satan represents responsibility to the responsible instead of concern for psychic vampires!
7. 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!
8. Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!
9. Satan has been the best friend the Church has ever had, as He has kept it in business all these years!

Answer 1

actually, libertarians and satanists having things in common is not unrealistic. i see that many think that satanism is "worship of the devil" in a christian sense. it is a common misunderstanding due to the meaning of the word satan to christians and the very different meaning of the word to satanists.

Satanism is a religion and a philosophy based on man as he really is: a carnal being free from the fiction that is spirituality and one who champions total responsibility, pragmatism, and the here-and-now. Satanism has been referred to as an "unreligion" in the sense that it does not subscribe to the notion of an anthropomorphic deity and, by extension, some being who must be worshiped, its most common misconception. Others say that Satanism is challenging popular notions of how 'religion' is defined, not content with the dictates of Judeo-Christian strictures.
Both are valid opinions. But for those who feel that deity worship and religion must be and always have been inextricably bound, it should be noted that Satanism's lack of deity belief and deity worship is not singular as Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism (all considered religions the world over) also share this viewpoint. Also, the concept of a literal "Satan" which infiltrates people's lives and influences their decisionmaking is exclusively Christian, and decidedly not Satanic.

just to clear it up!

so, the difference between the two may be that while they go by similar creeds involving self-responsibility and self-governing, one participates in ceremonies probably a little more than the other.

Answer 2

To sparkling up some incorrect information: no count number number what Laveyans call themselves, they don't look Satanists. If someone suggested, "i don't believe in God yet i'm Christian," it would not make any sense. It would not make any sense with Satanism both. i'm a nicely-known Satanist. i do not "believe in" God yet I renowned his life. I continually love how those who desire they were Satanists turn far flung from the time period devil worshipper. stupid human beings. Oh, yea... And the exhilaration of devil (pronounced with information from Frau Hunter) isn't a Satanist team. they seem to be a Nazi cult. actually, they believe that devil is an alien that purely likes white human beings. sounds like racist scientology to me. in case you want to be certain about genuine Satanism, look up the Cathedral of the Black Goat. purchase Father Myrmydon's e book, the devil's Bible. stop puzzling atheists and Nazis with Satanists.
