To anyone that needs clarification, "your best" is what you can accomplish without damage to your physical, mental and emotional health, not what you can accomplish by destroying them

LaVey would have created something far better if he had used his own thoughts and writings instead of taking from Might Is Right.

But there's a reason LaVey did this. I don't think it was laziness. There was something in MIR that resonated and that is hella concerning!

At best, Might Is Right is half-cooked; a half-assed collection of poorly considered opinions.

At worst, this book is blatantly racist, anti-Semitic, misogynistic, poorly written, and overall, a waste of ink from an angry, jealous, pathetic man who really needed to get out more.

Suspicious, reasonless. Why should their Lord
Envy them that? Can it be a sin to know?
Can it be death?"

Oops, good clarification. The misogyny and toxic masculinity is all on Ragnar Redbeard, not the podcasters. You guys did a great job of critiquing
to be clear! that’s the *topic* of the chapter/podcast

we (hopefully) did not add to that in analyzing and critiquing it

What is Satanism to you?
Based on what I've learned so far...

Satanism is NOT about:
• devil worship
• summoning demons
• child sacrifice
• animal sacrifice
• beastiality
• depraved sex acts
• taking drugs (although it's not prohibited)
• faith

Christians can worship Baal,

then beg Jesus for forgiveness

for worshiping Baal.

Christians can rape

ritually sacrifice

and cannibalize children

in the name of Baal,

then pray an apology to Jesus

and believe Jesus forgives them.

We do not worship Baal

nor Satan

nor God

nor Jesus-

Genesis Chap 3:
"The woman said to the serpent, “...God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle ... or you will die.’”
... she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it."

---

And then they died.

I'm finding it hard to decide if it's ok and reasonable to carve out a version of Satanism that doesn't include the white supremacy & racism that influenced early Satanist leaders & their writings?

Can we actually separate our individual versions of Satanism from Might Is Right and other examples?

It's easy to find Satanists from other countries here (mostly USA), but are there any kiwi Satanists around?

"I don't like when people say, I'll pray for you. So basically you're going to sit at home and do nothing? That's what your prayers are, you're doing nothing, while I struggle with the situation. Don't pray for me, make me a sandwich or something." – Hannibal Buress

Indulgence is not bad or morally wrong.
Abstinence is not intrinsically morally good.

So disappointing to see the dramas btwn satanists

When I left christianity I was relieved to be done with the gossiping, backstabbing, & hypocritical policing of behavior

I'm sad to see it exists in the Satanic community too... I guess it's a x-cultural thing. Shouldn't surprise me, but ig it does
