What do you know about the Satanic religion?

Question

Give Me Details and Explain

Answer 1

They are evil, they pray to Satan, they profane the Catholic mass with their Black mass. They may do animal or human sacrafice.

Answer 2

Religious Satanism consists of organized groups and churches with diverse varieties of Satanic beliefs. Religious Satanists are also known as "true believers," individuals who have seriously committed themselves to the beliefs, tenets, rituals, and ideologies of a Satanic religion. Currently, in the United States, some Satanic churches are recognized by the government as religions, and, consequently, are not only protected by the First Amendment but also receive tax-exempt status. There are many American Satanic churches and a variety of other religious organizations that openly practice Satanism, most of which have web pages on the Internet providing information on their beliefs and practices as well as membership applications. Satanism is often also referred to as the Left Hand Path, occultism, black magic, or the Dark Arts; various similar groups use the same designations.

Due to the provocative nature of this religion, the Internet has become the primary source for the substantial growth of the Satanic community. The World Wide Web provides a significant forum for recruiting new members, disseminating information, and exchanging ideas. There are hundreds of web sites for Satanic organizations, churches, support groups, occult supplies, and all things related to the Left Hand Path.

Answer 3

Quite a bit considering I follow the LaVeyan version.

Like Buddhism, it is an atheistic religion. It does not posit the literal existence of a devil or demon, nor of a supernatural creator. It emphasizes that man is not the pinnacle of the universe, and by virtue of his mind is often the most barbaric animal of all. Respect and endulgence are the watchwords of LaVeyan satanism -- violence against innocents is forbidden, it is not even allowed to kill an animal for its skin or bones unless it is also used for food or it is killed in self-defense (the only two justifiable forms of killing in Satanism, otherwise life is held inviolate).

Answer 4

Essentially, Modern Satanism is an atheistic philosophy. They view Satan as a symbol for human nature. They do not seek to deny themselves, infact they like to live life to the fullest, without worrying about being punished for enjoying it.

They also enoy theatrics; thats why it's so scary looking. They sometimes forget to tell people they don't worship Satan to get a reaction, and they also center their rituals on a shock factor. It's kinda cute to me, but I am weird.

They also place a degree of responsibility of the individual.

Answer 5

The two I talked to were really atheists that used the name to mock the religious. They had a very hedonistic philosophy.
