Satanism Overview Discussion (tradition, theist, bible, worship, catholic)

[painted wolf]

I have to say that I realy enjoyed reading the Satainic Bible... I didn't agree with it 100% but certenly a good 70% or better...

I liked the ideals of self responcibility and freedom from guilt complexes that so plague other religions. 8)

I have a Satanist friend who is one of the most genuinely 'nice' people I know... :

The whole Christian/Catholic satire in the ceremony is amusing as well...

Theistic Satanists do not, as a general rule, think of Satan as a "supreme evil being." Rather, we tend to associate Satan with specific human qualities which Christianity traditionally considers evil, but which Satanists -- and many other modern people -- would consider to be either good or neutral, such as independent thought. For more about this matter, see my article Satan and "Evil" in Christianity (and Satanism).
