    Nobody cares enough. :shrug:

    What is immoral and distasteful does not necessarily have to be illegal.

    Do you REALLY think that life begins at conception?

    Is abortion distasteful? Yes. Let's say that abortion is killing a living thing. Who cares? The rights of the already born supersede the rights of those not yet born.

    Can women be "emasculated?"

    It's because the concept came from a time when men were socially dominant. Language is slower than culture.

    Who is Claiming that Humans are Gods

    That's the whole problem. Words can mean any number of things depending on context. When you're talking about religion and myth and human feelings, you need to be extremely precise.

    Who is Claiming that Humans are Gods

    You misunderstand the real meaning that Satanists convey when one declares his or herself their own God. As a God, you declare yourself the most important thing in existence (to yourself.. you are your own god, not anyone else's.) As a God, you hold yourself to a higher standard of excellence...

    Chapter from High Priest Gilmore's newest book; The Satanic Scriptures

    This is a chapter that I think touches upon one of the most important ethical values of the Church of Satan. My values have changed as I've become older and possess a more in-depth understanding of what it means to be a Satanist (or perhaps my temperament has changed as I leave my girlhood...

    The former High Priestess of the Church of Satan has a response for this, and i'll post it here because it's spot-on: http://www.churchofsatan.com/Pages/MandatoryEducation.htm [/SIZE][/FONT]

    Home schooling?

    Here's another book, available in entirety by its' author on his website, that some of you may find interesting. The slant is obvious, but it's an excellent source to start researching with if you're at all interested in the history of public education...

    Home schooling?

    I served my twelve year prison sentence in the American public High School system and obtained a chemical dependency counselor associates degree from a community college. However, I am currently studying on my own as a prelude to returning to a university. I've learned more in the past year...

    What Do You Mean By "True Self"?

    "If you meet Buddha on the road, kill Him!" In this Buddhist koan, the word Buddha refers to your sense of self. The purpose is to cease identification with the physical. You are not what you feel, you are the one that feels. You are not what you smell, you are the one who can smell smells...

    The Temple of the Vampire

    I am a member of the Temple. The vampire symbology does not refer to the vampires portrayed in mythical fairy tales.

    The reason there isn't much activity here.

    Where did he say that? Satanism doesn't dictate morality, but there is a distinct set of ethics.

    Universal love?

    Fluffy was spot-on. The word-symbol "love" when proported to be universally applied by a person usually amounts to the person saying, "I 'love' everyone. I'm a good person and I want respect for that.", even though the word is said with no emotion behind it.

    Laveyan Satanism v. Setianism

    Setians believe (believed? do they still exist?) in an external deity, Satanists don't.
