You seem to not know much about a cult you keep talking about. But then you also claim we should not take Laveyans seriosly as everything about them as you keep saying is all showmanship and tongue and cheekAll I've asked for was some links. Not sure what's so hard about that.
And no, the "top sources" for Satanism are The Satanic Bible, The Satanic Scriptures and the
Church of Satan website, which states explicitly over and over that they do not believe in supernatural beings, souls, god, etc. It is a 100% materialist, naturalist philosophy.
As for members claiming they've summoned demons; yes, I have to assume that would be sarcasm, especially knowing that the CoS embraces showmanship and theatrics... LaVey once said Satanism was the first religion that openly admitted to using theatrical drama. Other religions, such as Catholicism, use theatrical drama but pretend, or maybe believe, it is all real and esoteric.
So yea, without context for what I'm hearing second or third hand, I have no other way to judge it. If you could provide me with some links and some timestamps to where these specific comments are said, we can discuss these things specifically.
Still waiting.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
