Satanic Bible vs Christian Bible

[chimp3]

LaVey was a huckster. I don't need him to be a free thinker. I have done some shit that would freak LaVey out and I don't wear funny hats or play Halloween dress up.

I'm a believer in "know your enemies". So far that ain't satanists so i ain't readin.

[Rev. Rye]

I read it as a teenager, and I found it very fascinating, well, at least in the earlier parts, where it was very Blakean and Nietzschean. The later parts of it kind of lost me, but I have to admit, the 11 Satanic Rules of the Earth seem a lot more moral in parts than their Christian counterpart:


Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.
When in another’s lair, show him respect or else do not go there.
If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.
Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.
Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.

Do not harm little children.

Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.

When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.

I seem to like the Satanic Bible more because it seems more appealing to me.

The Christian Bible, on the other hand, seems to be a book of guilt-trip babble.

The Satanic Bible seems less strict and let's you live your life the way you want to.

The Christian Bible is the book of abstinence; the Satanic Bible is the book of indulgence.

Anyway, what is your opinion on the matter? Let me know.

They're both shit. And one of the rules of the Satanic Bible is "eye for an eye" . . . talk about unoriginal they had that in the bullshit Old Testament. It's also highly immoral. Two wrongs don't make a right for fuck's sake.

Well, sure, but why do you need a "Bible"?

 Well, I didn't say I needed a Bible. I was just asking which one is better in your opinion.

 The Satanic Bible is better in my opinion, but I don't really need either of those books, since I'm not a Christian nor a LaVeyan Satanist.

 

Asking which of two Bibles is better is kind of like asking if you'd rather have pyorrhea or periodontitis.

If I'm going to have a book dictate my life, it'll be 'Biker Sluts On Mars'.

With the New Testament, "Nude Nuns with Big Guns".

I see.  I, on the other hand, tend to find appealing just those things which I like.

Jesus said if you are not with me you are against me and in the camp of Satan, you have no option in this unless you decide Christ is the better way.

LOL.   Jeebus Crisps was an asshole.  Buh-bye.  I'd happily sell my soul to Satan right now, but souls don't exist, Satan doesn't exist, and neither does Heeber Jeebers.

[Cyberman]

I ended up selling my soul to Santa. Bloody autocorrect.
