Anti-Satanic Bastards

Okay,

I've been reading Magistra Ygraine's blogs on both here and MySpace for some time now. I read them because not only do I agree with her on the points she makes, but also because I too feel the pain she is venting.

So excuse me while I dust off my soap box.

I've been Google searching Satanism on and off in my spare time just to see what kind of ilk is floating around out there and every time I find something new and extremely retarded that not only exemplifies what Satanism is NOT but tries to claim that it is what WE ARE.

Today, I found the following websites.

Modern Satanism

Exposing Satanism

ReligionCults.com

And I found this one the other day.

Redeemer Church of Satan

The list goes on and it's all the same retarded crap, this doesn't even include all the bullshit I found on Wikipedia. There are a few solid entries, thanks to some of our own members, but most of it is crap. It's no wonder when a friend or colleague hears the term "Satanism" or any reference to the "S" word they jump out of their skin (unless they are already well versed in the subject). There is a lot of crap floating around out there soiling OUR name and whenever I read any of it, I feel that Black Flame that burns in my heart grow with fury and outrage.

So, anyone that might read this that doesn't (or hasn't) read anything published by our organization or any of our esteemed members, allow me to set the record straight.

There is only ONE Satanism.

It was codified, defined and claimed by Anton LaVey in 1966.

Theistic Satanism, Spiritual Satanism, Modern Satanism, LaVeyan Satanism, all these terms mean NOTHING. Let me say it again, there is only ONE Satanism.

We came up with it, we get to name it.

They didn't and they don't

While there have certainly been some people throughout history that have exhibited Satanic traits, there has been NO RELIGIONS prior to the founding of the Church of Satan with that name on it. Any that have sprouted up since the religion's inception are NOT Satanism, as much as they wish they were.

This religion has evolved more in the last fourty-two years than any other worldly religion could EVER hope to. We are the anti-religion, the opposition of what organized religion represents. We are the Opposer, the Accuser and the Questioner of all that religion has said man should be.

I stumbled upon that black book almost ten years ago and two years ago decided to align myself with the ONE and ONLY Church of Satan because I saw what was in that book burning inside of ME and I love this religion and the outstanding individuals I've had the pleasure of meeting with ALL my being.

As the good Magistra said many blog entries ago, the time of turning our cheeks to these wastrels who claim to be what WE ARE is over! It is time to smash those bastards on the other cheek! Return blow for blow, smash hip and thigh and return our enemies blows with compound interest! Sweet Lucifer I can stand by the wayside no longer!

HS!
