Interesting that you say this. Why so? What make christianity so much worse than satanism.. Rather I should be asking what makes LaVey Satanism better than any form of Christianity? I'm not trying to put down what you'd rather believe, I just prefer to know more about different faiths and beliefs.

For one they hardly believe in any supernatural beings that they have to obey.
Then, as far as I know, around 0 people got killed in the name of LaVeyian Satanism.
Their philosophy makes quite a lot of sense, to look out for yourself, take no shit from people, etc.
They also don't use their influence (which, admittedly is limited) to oppress their fellow citizens by democratic means.
That's what I can think about on the top of my head.

Hmmm Could you recommend an resources, books, sites so I could do more research on it.... seems like something I'd really like to study.🙂

A good place to start is by reading The Satanic Bible. It's the basis of the whole structure of Satanism, and is, in my opinion, a good read.
Originally posted by cococryspiesIf it is the primary intent of Satanists to strike fear in the hearts of Christians, they're doing an awfully poor job of it. 😄
Cause saying "I don't like christianity" doesn't strike as much fear in the religious as saying "I worship the devil".
In truth, the Bible has some interesting things to say about Satanists. For example, those who worship gods other than Yahweh (the God of the Bible) are considered to be vicarious demon worshipers [1 Corinthians 10:20].
Originally posted by cococryspiesSince sin is the commission of evil -- or, from a biblical perspective, a violation of God's holy standard -- I'm not sure I understand your point. Satanists are no more or less subject to God's wrath than any other unsaved persons. And similarly, Satanists are no less redeemable, should they repent and surrender to Christ by faith.
Non-believers are just sinners, satanists are evil.
I think I believe in a mix of worshipping Satan, and worshipping what satan symbolises. I believe that Satan was the pseudonym for a real man, perhaps an incarnation of purest evil. While I tip my hat to him for his beliefs which have inspired me to do whatever the **** i want, I wouldn't worship him, because the jackass is dead.

"He"s don't have periods. Didn't you ever get that talk? 😆
But if God is perfect in all aspects, then He is perpetually the perfect period. In fact, He is perfectly in all stages of His divine menstrual cycle at all times. He is also, by this logic, always in any state, which means He is currently giving birth to my head attached to Chuck Norris' body. In a Batman suit.

Not trying to bash anything since I'm very ignorant on this subject, but after reading the summary of this belief system, how is self-indulgence a value, and is there any limit to the amount a person indulges in him/herself? It just seems to me that one person's self-indulgence can at times impede someone else's.
