Exactly what is a Satanist, a follower of Anton LeVey or a thief? Is a Satanist possibly an appropriate label for anyone who has jumped on the System by doing someone else out?
You would not believe some of the dorky trials that have gone on in the city where I live, where people have been falsely accused of Satanism, and of ritually abusing children as part of the practice.
When these cases go to trial, it seems that the evil people are the professionals on lthe System who are going after the accused to pay their dues to the System. Some of them are psychologists who sexually abuse the so-called victims' minds during the course of their therapy. Some of the parents are "religious" fundamentalist Christian types who are social climbers and thinking they can advance in the world by making someone else evil in a makeshift way on the exchange system, on which "stonecutters" like to deal. In fact, they seem to think that nothing will work without exchanging.
As for any real Satanists, like I already have suggested, they are probably people who think they can make things work through theft and deceit (a.k.a. theft of the truth). They obviously exhibit a warped thinking pattern. They also are stupid. Whether they are technical crazy all depends on the technical definition of "crazy" and whose definition you are using.
At one of the trials a psychologist with a PhD in child psychology and four all but grown up children of her own got up as and expert witness and said that children never lie. She insisted that it was so. The woman alos was a self-styled crusader against Satanism. I do not have to tell you where I think her "benefits" were coming from.
Do you think that when people collect "benefits" from the System, whether it is insurance or whether it is other compromises, a collection process is not at stake? In the case of insurance it would involve red tape and forms. When human commodities chiseled behind closed doors are what people are after, what is the protocol?
Would you like to define a Satanist?

Not necessarily and it really depends on the sect of satanism you are referring to. Many people that are called Satanists are really of a church of hedonism and not true LaVeyan Satanist. Judging someone for what they do is just as wrong as the perception of wrongness with what they are doing. Love your neighbor and move on. As a Christian man I recommend reading on many different religions so when you are confronted on your beliefs by one of another religion you will have ammo.

Satanism was created by Anton LeVey less than a century ago. They do not worship the devil as is commonly believed, they worship themselves as their own personal god. "do unto others as they do unto you" pretty much sums up their religion in a nutshell. They do not believe in harming children, they believe in giving respect to others as long as respect is given back (but if disrespected, a satanist is obligated to retaliate)
Here are the eleven satanic commandments, this should sum things up:
1. Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
2. Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure 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 other person and he cries out to be relieved.
7. Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed 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 you are 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.
I met Anton Levey a few years before he passed, and I have to say even though I don't really agree with all of his philosophy, he is better company than a lot of christians I have met.

Yes and No.
Yes in the sense that it is very very hard how some people can be this way and we tend to call anything out of the ordinary crazy.
No in the sense that the real issue is that they lack any of the spirit of God. All people are not of God; there are some very disturbed people in this world but don't be so quick to judge because nobody was born saved.

The very defination of god and devine contridicts itself. God or Gods are supposed to be devine anyways.
To have an All powerful that cannot over power(evil)
To have an all knowing that cannot know( how to overpower evil, rid the world of sins).
He must be all knowing if he created everything. It is only logical to assume this. Like if I create a toy car, I should know all about the toy car as long as i exists. But God is eternal so he should know all at all times of all times. It doesnt matter what you say. He is also supposed to be loving caring wonderful. How can be those while being destructing and careless as well. And if you careless your not loving because to love is to care.
That is like saying there is a circle with sides. you do not need to be everywhere universe to know this. You know this because you know to be a circle or what a circle is or the defination of one is that it is a figure with no sides and it has a circumference. So therefore God cannot exists as he is both all powerful and not all powerful, all knowing and not knowing cannot make sense. As well as caring and careless.
Love thy enemies lesson is bull. because that means you should love evil also, therefore love satan, pedofiles, rapists, child abusers and Mass murders.
If you choose to ignore this this shows you are delusional. you choose to persistantly ignore facts and evidence. Means your irational which is the opposite of rational. Rational is being logical and reasonable. Therefore you the opposite is illlogical and unreasonable. Why should we trust illogical and unreasonable people? Persisitingly ignoring what god, devine means means your delusional. And delusional people are irrational so they are illogical and unreasonable.
Also the bible is not clear because it claims of a god that created the world and doesnt explain how. Many things are like this in the bible also. Then it self contridicts itself as well as the use of god and devine,is all the proof you need.

No, the majority of Satanists are not crazy; Satan certainly isn't crazy.

Actually there was this man that was a satanist practiced occult, alchemy and so forth.
His whole family was Catholic, prayed for him night and day, and a priest would talk with him often.
He still rebelled. UNTIL, he became mad in his mind, and then went to a priest to confession, started becoming a Catholic, and mending his ways, and he became a Saint in his lifetime. Anything is possible with God.

Not necessarily. There are many more mad Christians.
However it is quite likely that the percentage of Satanists who suffer from some kind of mental disorder is a little bit higher than the percentage of Christians who do.
Only a very little bit higher, mind.
