Answer 1

Don't bother trying to learn about it. You don't want to get mixed up in that kind of stuff. Even if it's more educational purposes. Trust me.

Answer 2

Many people ask similar questions. Actually I answered it once but your question differs however. You want many detailed informations. It's rater clear that no one answers you here fully. That what you ask is a topic for more than one book. If you're really so interested than you must do your own on-line researches. I will provide you with some basic links. I would advice you to avoid Wikipedia about that topic, it treats it to shallow. It would be also worth to look on one of many occult libraries where you can find free eBooks so you can for instance download some of LaVey works (see the last link, click later on Anton LaVey). Note that there are many different major forms of Satanism and more or less similar labels. For instance: you have LaVey Satanism (atheists or agnostics mostly), Theistic/Traditional Satanism (very broad term but in VERY general means it's a belief in a existence of Satan as spiritual entity with a positive view of him), Spiritual Satanism (JoS - Satan is here seen as physical entity, I know it's paradox). Gnostic Satanism for instance is more narrow term for Theistic Satanism. You will across probably on other labels and many various definitions. Devil worship is also one of more narrow terms. Many labels overlap each others.
And here is my previous answer (I edited it for your purpose):
What kind of Satanism you have on your mind? If you want to know more about symbolic, modern, LaVeyan Satanism then read LaVey's Satanic Bible. Satan is meant there merely as a symbol. There is also plenty of sites on that topic. Theistic Satanists opposite to the first group believe that Satan is real existing spiritual (there are some exceptions) entity. Satanism itself is very complex questions so it would be stupid to assume that there is one easy and clear answer. In Theistic Satanism Satan is seen mostly as a god of knowledge, spiritual evolution, freedom, individualism but also has his darker aspects as well. If you want to know more about Satanism in general and especially about Theistic Satanism and devil worship see the links below. It's the best source site in the net about Theistic Satanism. Note that the first site is very spacious so sometimes it could be hard to dig for some informations there but it will answer your question more fully than I could ever done it here. At the end I want to add that there are other satanic organizations who have different beliefs and don't agree with the first site (like CoBG for instance). Be prepared for long time study.

Answer 3

I can help you see behind the scenes, past cults, seances, voodo, etc. These are just devices to fool the ignorant.

With God's help, the late Roger Morneau escaped alive from the highest level of Satanism. In that Angel Worship group, Satan divulged many of his plans for the future. You will learn much from it.

He who transported Jesus to the pinnacle of God's temple, still offers this world to the foolish. Check out this site at www.revelado.org/satanism.htm

Blessings, and do not play with fire. One-Way

Answer 4

" My worst enemies are those who presume me to be harmless. They cannot imagine how much I resent and disdain them, or just how great a threat they would face if I could get at them. Everything in their behavior speaks of insult and presumptuousness, and for now I happily make constructive use of my cunning to annoy them in 10,000 unseen and unseen ways. At this time, I just make a list of them and keep a watch on. Some day, with the help of time, space, and circumstance, I will be able to humiliate them properly - not in a manner they would enjoy, but in a style calculated to make them wish that they had never been born."


Quoted above is Anton Szandor LaVey who is the founder of The Church of Satan.

He came up with 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!
8) Satan is the best friend the church has ever had, as he has kept it in business all these years!

As well as, The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth:
1) Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
2) Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure that they want to hear them.
3) When in another's lair, show him respect or else do not go there.
4) If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
5) Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
6) Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the person and he cries out to be relieved.
7) Acknowledge the power of magic if you have used it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.
8) Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
9) Do not harm little children.
10) Do not kill non-human animals unless attacked or for your food.
11) When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.

Answer 5

Well,that would fill several books. That's more like "I'm going to the library today" than "I getting on the internet". However,many websites will contain lists of books on the subject,pro,con,objective.

Answer 6

if you want some good info, try this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanism

but for one, satanism is NOT about worshipping satan or doing human and animal sacrifice. that is luciferism and most satanists are insulted when mixed up with them.

satanists glorify that they are no perfect, but that does not mean they go around letting loose every last evil deed

Answer 7

Satanism is a word which has been used since the end of the Middle Ages to describe a number of different belief systems in a number of contexts. People claiming to be Satanists—or outsiders claiming to describe Satanism—ascribe a wide variety of beliefs to Satanism. These range from the literal worship of a malevolent spiritual being (Theistic Satanism); to a kind of subversive ritual performance stressing the mockery of Christian symbols (most notably the Black Mass); to the claimed rediscovery of an ancient but misunderstood religion (e.g. Setianism, which conflates Satan with the Egyptian god Set); to the exaltation of hedonistic recreation, and the celebration of selfishness and pleasure.

The most prominent and widely known Satanist in recent years is, and was Anton Szandor LaVey, who founded the Church of Satan in 1966. LaVey wrote The Satanic Bible (1969) and other works which remain highly influential (though controversial) among avowed Satanists. LaVey rejects the Black Mass, cruelty to animals, or a literal belief in (or worship of) Satan, instead considering Satan as the human instinct within ourselves, which is what LaVeyan Satanism celebrates; the human instinct. Instead he supports a view of human beings as animals and rejects many social structures that he believes inhibit human instincts.

Equally celebrated within certain, though not all, Satanic circles (and not technically a Satanist) would be ritual magician Aleister Crowley, who referred to himself as "The Great Beast 666." [1] Aleister Crowley, though not a worshiper of any deity known as Satan, his severe disdain for Christianity and his occult activities have been confused and conflated into his fame as a "Satanist".

As an aside, culture has made the word "Satanism" what it is today. Thus the word "Satanism" would never have been birthed into existence if it wasn't for a Christianity that was afraid of a person or group of people who would use the mass, religious garments, sacred scripture, or symbols in order to worship in a way antithetical to the Christian religion and worldview. "Satanism" as a word and as an "ism" is not often associated with individual or groups who do not believe in Satan, but from the beginning of the use of the term "Satanism", that is exactly how it was applied. "Satanism" is a myth, and, just like the word "witch" will always call to mind the image of a popular Halloween costume involving a hat, long nose, and broom. "Satanism" will always have the image and, more importantly, will always have the meaning of the mythic image of people doing naughty things that transgress Christianity. If someone in modern times wanted to be "Satanic", in that light one must believe in the Christianity, its power, and break its taboos to transgress them to fulfill the image of the dreaded, abhorred, evil Satanist.

Much "Satanic" lore does not originate from actual Satanists, but from Christians. Best-known would be the medieval folklore and theology surrounding demons and witches. A more recent example is the so-called Satanic ritual abuse scare of the 1980s— beginning with the memoir Michelle Remembers--which depicts Satanism as a vast conspiracy of elites with a predilection for child-molesting and human sacrifice. This genre regularly describes Satan as actually appearing in person in order to receive worship. It must be noted that this is not adhering to the teachings of the Church of Satan, which is strictly against child abuse, rape or any other fully harmful sadistic act, especially to children. Consensual S&M between adults is advocated on the grounds that it is a form of self-gratification.

Vandalism, cruelty to animals, or grave desecration are advanced by some as examples of Satanic crimes. While some high-profile cases of murder or serial murder have been found to have Satanic themes (e.g. the Manson Family), these appear to be primarily the work of disturbed individuals, or of several acting together, rather than of organized religious groups.

Many claims of Satanic child-molesting or murder rings have proven to be unsubstantiated. There was little evidence to support the allegations. Few people were convicted though there are now organized efforts to have the charges dropped.

Answer 8

Answer 9
