Your thoughts on Satanism and the petition for a Satanic statue.

[Catholic_Lady]

Here's an interesting line in inquiry...stop me if somebody brought it up already.


CL, what things do you think are true about modern Satanists? Atheistic Satanists especially. What do you think they believe? What do you imagine their practices entail? What is your "mental avatar" when it comes to Satanists? How do you see them as people?


Have you ever looked at the 9 Satanic Sins? The 11 Laws of the Earth?


The Satanic Bible is one of the greatest trolls of all time. While there are some aspects of Atheistic Satanism that seem arrogant and other aspects that honestly seem kind of lame, the bottom line is that they've built a belief system that is more or less secular and humanistic and strives to treat others with respect and dignity unless they fail to do the same for you, and then hidden these tenets in a book that Christians will be too terrified to even open. I've actually met a few Satanists, and they tend to be polite, well-dressed, pleasant conversationalists who tip well at restaurants (at least in my experience). I'm sure there are some out there that are assholes, but as a general rule I certainly wouldn't describe them as apparently evil or monstrous people. For the most part they're just regular folks like most of us here. They certainly don't celebrate cruelty or sacrifice things to Satan.

Hi, yes, I've looked over their website and think I understand what they're about. 

I do think they chose the name "Satanist" as kind of a jab at Christianity, but since I can't know for sure, I've come to conclude that it's best to give them the benefit of the doubt.
