How many of you think that Satanism is a bad religion? If you answer "yes", please go to www.joyofsatan.com and read up on it, and also exposingchristianity.com. I am NOT pressing my religion on you, I am trying to eliminate the bad opinion of this religion. Thanks for your opinions.

You will not change the minds of the closed minded.
They only listen to the ideas of their religion and reject anything that has the word Satan in it!
Truth doesn't matter.
Facts do not matter.
There is nothing you can say that will get through to them to change anything! The ignorant will remain ignorant!

I have gone to both sites on numerous occasions, believing that it's best to understand something before giving an opinion of it. What brand of Satanism are you referring to? LaVeyan? Setian? Stark raving psychotic (i.e., Richard Ramirez)? Crowleyan? There seem to be as many variants of "Satanism" as there are "Satanists". (The joyofsatan.com version is pretty over the top!) I don't think Satanists are all bad people, but I do think that glorifying the father of lies and the author of evil is a bad idea. No matter how "liberating" it might be.

It was good, an interesting read, but it wasnt for me :)
I'm an Atheist, i don't even beleive in the "gods" so i don't think i could take Satan very serious.

The 21 Satanic Points
I) Respect not pity or weakness, for they are a disease which makes sick
the strong.
II) Test always your strength, for therein lies success.
III) Seek hapiness in victory - but never in peace.
IV) Enjoy a short rest, better than a long.
V) Come as a reaper, for thus you will sow.
VI) Never love anything so much you cannot see it die.
VII) Build not upon sand but upon rock
And build not for today or yesterday but for all time.
VIII) Strive ever for more, for conquest is never done.
IX) And die rather than submit.
X) Forge not works of art but swords of death, for therein lies great art.
XI) Learn to raise yourself above yourself so you can triumph over all.
XII) The blood of the living makes good fertilizer for the seeds of the
new.
XIII) He who stands atop the highest pyramid of skulls can see the
furthest.
XIV) Discard not love but treat it as an imposter, but ever be just.
XV) All that is great is built upon sorrow.
XVI) Strive not only forwards, but upwards for greatness lies in the
highest.
XVII) Come as a fresh strong wind that breaks yet also creates.
XVIII) Let love of life be a goal but let your highest goal be greatness.
XIX) Nothing is beautiful except man: but most beautiful of all is woman.
XX) Reject all illusion and lies, for they hinder the strong.
XXI) What does not kill, makes stronger.

Bah! In this section, before this edit, I had my personal critique of LaVeyan Satanism.... As you are apparently advocating Spiritual Satanism (Which as I understand it has less followers) you get further editing...
My main problem would be, wouldn't it be simpler to just call him Ea or Enki as you admit they are one in the same?... Or do all of the sperm and incest references in Enki's mythology drive you away from that particular option?...
After actually reading other's comments, and getting a horrible sick feeling in my stomach, I have to say you have my deepest sympathies though... Ignorance disgusts me, and dealing with this much over something you believe in earns you guys a bit of my respect in my book...

i've got continuously concept that Satanism replaced into created as an "Anti-Christianity." as a thank you to rebellion against mainstream subculture and scare human beings (use of pentacles and 666, the two tabo sybmols in Christianity, yet on no account linked in the previous). i think of on condition that then it extremely is been reformed or divided. I as quickly as observed this "Satanist" lady on the information being interviewed on her faith, and she or he reported it replaced into approximately "enjoying existence because of the fact there is not any longer something after dying."

IF you eliminate the 'bad opinion' of levey's church, you go against the VERY reason he named it the church of satan.
Those uneducated, unresearched ONLY link it to the christian idea of satan, completely forgetting that he was a roman god for thousands of years before the idea of christ even became.
If you ask how many people agree with the satanic statements MOST will agree, it's funny how many practicing satanist don't know they are! LMAO

In the Bible it says:
Job 2:6
The LORD said to Satan, "Very well, then, he is in your hands; but you must spare his life."
1 Corinthians 5:5
hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the sinful nature [Or of his body; or of the flesh] so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord.
1 Timothy 1:20
Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme.
Genesis 6:4 appears to be talking about doctors who take ownership of babies, as if the credit all goes to them, instead of to the mother. The attitude is still around today.
Compare 1 Corinthians 3:16, 17
16 Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in your midst? 17 If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy that person; for God's temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.
and
2 Thessalonians 2:3 Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for [that day will not come] until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness [a] is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God.

the devil walks about like a roaring lion seeking to devour someone - 1 Peter 5:8
Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light - 2 corinthians 11:14
I quoted these to put you in no doubt that you are fooled the devil has devoured your mind and yet you think he is right he has transformed himself into the angel of light in your mind.
You remind me of the followers of the Canaanite god Molech who sacrificed their new born children to him . They would place them on the surface and watch them drop into the furnace below to be burnt alive. You as a parent would have to show no emotion or the priest would make you go through it again with your next child. This is one of the perversions of Satanic worship there is no depths that he will not want you to go to.
