What I don’t understand is why he took occult symbols and then made them atheistic? And discuses occultism and rituals, but is atheistic?? It just feels like edgy atheism

[@robertpreston2220]

[@Mayakran]

That’s pretty much it. Edgy goth atheism designed to piss Christians off.

😈 I am not a Satanist, but I've studied various thinkers like Ayn Rand, Nietzsche, and Camus that have led me to similar conclusions. I view his philosophy as an effective means of "breaking out" of traditional collectivist views if that is something a person desires, but I don't necessarily find as much value in it as a life-long framework. I agree with Anton more than I disagree, and I think you've done a great job covering the material. Will you be covering any of Anton's other literature as well?

[@amisanthrope247]

Why? All theistic beliefs are designed to enslave. If it's just for educational purposes that's one thing but approaching it with a mind to add it into your life, understand, you are approaching things as a willing slave which isn't Satanic at all. Quite the opposite.

[@onlyfoes]

The overall message I get here is "Do as YOU like" and generally speaking there's nothing wrong with that. Do you have to agree with everything the Satanic Bible says just to call yourself a Satanist? Wouldn't that be lying to yourself? Remember at the end only you can decide what's important to yourself and there's no room for 'should/shouldn't'.

Update: I enjoyed it. I thought the essays the best part, and was surprised that a lot of stuff I'd come to believe on my own was expressed here before I was born. Guess I'm a satanist at heart.

[@caveman3021]

@@someonesomeone25 They used to say Satanists are born...not made. LaVey was ahead of his time, and had a great grasp of human nature. Id suggest looking up The 11 Satanic Rules of the Earth as well as The 9 Satanic Sins. These along with TSB will give you a great foundation🤘

[@KimberlyLetsGo]

I like asking some of the Satanic Statements, like 3, 6, 7, and especially 9 (all in my own words) to those that feel the need to preach, unprovoked , Christianity to be. Then I tell them that they are actually following the Satanic Bible. They can't dispute it as most haven't read it.

[@abyssimus]

Long time ago, a Satanist (CoS no less) and I (a Christian anarchist) used to hang around a forum largely full of evangelicals and other conservative Christians. On multiple occasions, the conservative would come in with a problem, we'd both give general advice based on our principles (without citing any texts or mentioning our ideologies), and the conservatives would generally get very angry with me while praising the Satanist. Then we'd reveal our affiliations and point to where in our respective Bibles we were getting our ideas from. The Satanist and I thought it was funny, nobody else at the time did.

[@jtzoltan]

@@abyssimus I'd love to get some of your thoughts on what people tend to be up to when they take up with Satanism... like if you had to guess, what proportion are actually committing acts that would be called evil with a belief they're communing with demons and drawing power from them, vs how many are nontheological and do it to reject conventional morality and judgemental/arbitrary constraining of human expression/needs?

I find it funny that someone who criticizes people for not being honest about their carnal drives lies about his physical story and sources. I think of Leviathan as Left Hand Path and Behemoth as Right Hand Path. It is important to think of magick amorally-in order to apply it to whatver results, meanings, or devotion that one may apply to it.

[@Mildon44]

I'm a II° member of the Church of Satan and just wanted to say that I really appreciate the thorough discussion and explanation of these major concepts and aspects to Satanism and The Satanic Bible. Too many people discussing the topic often push their own biases into it and often fall into the same talking points that detract from the topic.

[@magisternoctis]

Well done, Miss! 👍🏻 I do guess that I’ve (unfortunately) underestimated you generally. But it’s a fact that “errare humanum est” . I’m a LaVeyan Satanist and got the Satanic Bible always within reach, as well as all other officially published books that he wrote, including the work of his current successor: Magus Peter H Gilmore. This was an accurate and no-nonsense explanation, merely like ‘it is what it is’ . I applaud for this excellent and comprehensive explanation as I’m assuming that you’re de facto as an outsider of all this.❗️❗️

[@Knowledge_Seeker64]

👿 I like the idea of challenging traditional religions, particularly if you have oppressive and restrictive ones like Fundamentalism, but I’ll always despise Social Darwinism.

[@mandrakeruth]

Why do you dislike it? If you dont mind me asking. I feel like it often is simplistic and a little silly, la vey can be that way i think but nietzsche has more nuance, when it comes to that, he is a person that really can make you think deeper and along totally diffrent lines, which are not leftist at all ( and i am a leftist ) but in a way can make you understand what you do actually belive in a better way

[@mordcore]

@@mandrakeruth hi, disabled witch here, i kinda dislike a theory that says me and my friends deserve to suffer or die because we're sick 🤷like i hate that. i hope that explains it?

[@mandrakeruth]

@@mordcore lol ok. We don't need to have a conversation, you can go ahead and be offended.

[@mordcore]

@@mandrakeruth just to be clear i am offended by the ideology and not by you, you seemed at the first comment to be interested in perspectives so i shared mine -- i find social darwinism quite disgusting, obviously that is due to the trauma of existing as someone who needs support in a society that likes to tell us that we don't deserve it. like that's my reason for why it's bad: it shapes a kind of world that i hate. it's hard to communicate tone on the internet, i much prefer communicating irl, but when i said "i hope that explains it?" i was being geunuine, not sarcastic.

[@mandrakeruth]

@@mordcore alright apologies, its true that its hard to tell the meaning someone has in writing, I assumed that you were being sarcastic,my bad. And I can understand the reaction you have, it makes sense. But to speak of nietzsche again, who is, I think, the most intelligent social darwinist, if we you could even call him that. I think its interesting that he himself had a severe illness through all his life, which caused him much suffering, and was also probably a cause of his death, or at least it contributed to it. You could definitely call it a disability. And the interesting part is, according to himself when he was suffering the worst of his illness his philosophical writings were also the most cruel and the most " the weak shall perish and we shall help them do it" and similar stuff. So one theory is that it was a sort of coping mechanism for him, a way to make his heart stronger by, you could say pretending to be more able than he was. But I don't think it was just pretending, in a real way I think his illness made him a more beautiful and profound person, as he himself thout, it did. So, I guess what do you think about a person who is themselves disabled in some way, but also is a social darwinist?

Also, is it true that one of LaVey's influences was Ayn Rand's philosophy of selfishness? And did LaVey's theories of magick as practical and material-based have an influence on chaos magick?

😈👿 I admit that I could be wrong in my assessment. And if that is the case, I am eager to accept any criticism of my views (as a learning experience). My view is that Laveyan Satanism is controversial, but incomplete. Those who criticize Lavey often do so by adducing "insights" that they believe Lavey either purposely left out of his exposition of Satanism, or inadvertently omitted because of inadequate research on his part. But Lavey's works are written (specifically) from the standpoint of Materialism, which automatically deems certain ideas (e.g., about ontology, psychology, Magick, etc.) from "non-Materialist" views, nonsensical.

To view the CoS as merely a 'Satanic' and/or 'occult' movement would be inadequate. Anton's influence on Satanism as a philosophy and a reductionist approach to everything cannot be stated adequately. Anton will have a special place for many of us ever more.... AVE ANTON....!

Both a 😈 and a 👿, because like a lot of people here I think there’s merit to these ideas, but they can be vague which typically doesn’t help with countercultural movements in my experience. I think a lot more people were provoked rather than enlightened, and yet, it’s that same level of abstraction that allows it to be meaningful I suppose. The idea of internal salvation as a product of psychological strength seems practical enough to me, although I don’t really feel that that has a direct connection to equality or a lack thereof. I think strength is recognizing that you’re already doing the hardest thing by BEING human. I like Epicurean hedonism. Because feeling like we need more exacerbates the void that keeps us WANTING more, so if pleasure is the absence of pain, then maybe it’s more pleasurable to free oneself from those desires BY recognizing one’s own value. So, with a bit of introspective reasoning, I suppose I MOSTLY agree with Mr. LaVey.😅

I know it's a different time but are you okay?

Interesting 🤔

[@thomasdolcelli4969]

I was always under the impretion that he was an atheist? He was just mocking religion. Also was it true that he saw God on his death bed and regretted what he did??? Or is that just some made up rumor. 😈 👿.

[@wilhelmvonn9619]

It was made up by Christians who felt justified in lying if it promotes their religion. Many similar "deathbed conversions" have been invented.

[@natureswrath7665]

That was a rumor, as for him being an atheist, no. Either he is a Satanist as the modern CoS views it, which is atheistic but not the same as atheism, or he was something a little more, which there is some interesting evidence to if one looks closely. Either way he was certainly not Abrahamic, and followed a spiritual path focused on self empowerment and indulgence in what life offers

😈 a little repetitive but I appreciate the effort.

[@psylegio]

👿 "More versions than an I-phone!" 😂 Nah - I don't much care for people who write on psychology without an actual education in the subject.

[@waltersstreet]

Fascinating

[@LunDruid]

👿 While I do respect the influence The Satanic Bible has had, I very much disagree with LaVey's hyper-individualistic worldview. I understand its appeal, and I can see it being useful in certain situations, but applied to a wider societal level, it does not hold up.

[@neonspec]

Satanism isn’t meant for wider society. That’s the point. It’s a philosophy and religion that’s not intended for the masses but for a select few.

Hail Satan! Hail Anton! 🜏
