You don't need it, it offers nothing new, it wont automatically make you do good or bad, it is still like any old religion just as superfluous. The new agers who do this are simply trying to take an old idea and create an alternative to the past. Nope sorry, trying to create a new club and strip it of old beliefs and superstitions and deities is all you are doing. 

I don't even like it when atheists try to create their own "churches" and set up their own ideas of a perfect moral list. Evolution produces individuals, and our species ability to be cruel or compassionate is in that, in the individual, not the artificial clubs we create.

You are missing the point entirely. Satanism isn't about "offering something new." Satanism has nothing to do with "new agers" or New Age Spirituality. Satanism is not a "new club [stripped of old beliefs and superstitions]."

You don't even understand what you're attempting to disagree with. You shot and you missed. Move on.

Yes it is, it is no different than the Hebrews starting a splinter sect, stealing the name Yahweh from prior polytheism and elevating the character to the one true god.

Now please dont lie to me and claim the word "Satan" does not have an older past than the way you chose to view the word. The character name goes further back than the current trend to strip it of superstition.

This is the same bullshit tactic I get from fans of Buddhism, "It isn't a religion it is a philosophy". Despite the fact that I can point to the earliest mythology of that religion that was ripe with superstitions and claims of the divine world. 

Where did the name "Satan" start? Not with you, and not with your current position, it was stolen from prior traditions.  And again, I really don't care if you say it is not about deity belief. It is still an attempt to compete with surrounding and prior clubs. 

Our species behaviors are in our evolution, not in our clubs. Clubs are the labels humans invent to create social order, to make excuses to separate ourselves from other groups. It is still artificial. Atheists do it too. "Atheist" is also not a moral code or a "philosophy", it merely means "off".
