dayakar -- I mean the one written by Anton LeVey that is quite literally titled "The Satanic Bible". Do I really have to spell everything out?

Sapient -- I do think it's worth a read, though gary7infiltrator isn't THAT far off: it does read like an EMO 7th grader's blog in SOME places. But in general, I do think it's worth a read.

Yes. It was not something I believe in, but it was worth reading just to gain a better understanding of the LeVeyan Satanists.

Umm no. Would you ever eat a lethal dose of arsenic even if you knew someone had the antidote and they were standing right there to inject you with it? Listen, a book by itself can not corrupt my soul. Neither can listening to atheist or satanistic ideas. But as a Christian, I am called to keep myself pure and holy. Somehow, I don't think reading such a text qualifies for those criteria. Same reason I don't watch porn, or drink alcohol. Oh yeah, and what was it that Satan said to Eve? Genesis 3:1-4 " 1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?" 2 The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.' " 4 "You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman. 5 "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." And guess what...Eve did die...spiritually and physically. So the answer is NO. I would not.

I'd rather The Devil's Dictionary.
Ambrose Bierce > Anton LaVey.

Yes - I've read as many religious texts as I've been able to get my hands on.
My opinion? Reads like it was written by a goth 13-year-old who wants to shock his parents to get attention. Honestly, it's about the funniest/stupidest thing I've ever read, and it's made me question the brains of all Satanists.

Yes, One Religion vs Another Religion= Nothing in Religion.

Yes. It's clear to me the guy has some anger issues, but reading past that what he's actually saying is very practical.

Yes I have and I find a lot of it to be common sense. A good friend of mine who is a Satanist gave me a copy as a gift years ago.

That's the King James version, right?

Yes, the Gideons leave them in all the hotel and motel rooms all over the country. Do you never leave home...not even for a night or two?

I skimmed through it while getting a tattoo. Although some of the ideals in it make some sense, it is certainly not my cup of tea.
