Satanism is just sociopathy in funny costumes.

I think you got that mixed up with Christianity.

No, no, no - Christianity is sado-masochism in funny costumes.

Ok... have you spoken to a professional about that? Have you been using any psychoactive substances lately?

You obviously wrote a very good introduction because you've brought on the wrath of the resident crazies.

I suspect he intended 'the left hand path' ironically. In any case, 'the left hand path' refers to occultism connected to breaking taboos and moral conventions. Atheistic Satanism merely regards Satan as symbolic of certain human traits. The atheistic Satanic Temple lacks the strain of self-deification and 'might makes right' attitude of LaVeyan Satanism and their practices seem to be faux occultism, at best...possibly parody.

I think the LaVeyan tendency to self-deify is misdirected and banal, and I certainly don't encourage it. The Satanic Temple seems more about making certain points about separation of religion and state in a satirical way. Especially the point that inroads by religion into government would have to include them.

But it has the word "Satanic" in it, and therefore it is the antithesis of good and I don't need to look up anything else about it because obvious evil is obvious.

Wow, I have no words how stupid this is. But you were also the one dropping the age of enlightenment/Lucifer shitbomb, correct? So I shouldn't be surprised after all.

What are you talking about "fantasy idea"? Your opinion is irrelevant. Satanism is known as the left hand path, its doctrine is that you are your own God.

Where do Satanists say they are their own God?

If you look up "left-hand path" and "Satanism" on Wikipedia, you will see that your definitions are too narrow in both cases.

My definitions are fine. "The left-hand and right-hand paths are a label that refer to styles of magic and occult practices. Left hand path practices are associated with Satanism, Setian, Qliphothic magic, black magic and also, dark paganism. "

All of these things fall under Satanism.
