Ugh, Marie, had Lavey meant "murder" when he said "destroy" he would have been more direct. That you would automatically assume that from all the definitions of this word he meant "to kill" is evidence that your reasoning is led by your preconceptions of what Satanism should be. Let's review a few of the many definitions for the word "destroy": To subdue or defeat completely; crush, To render useless or ineffective, To ruin completely; spoil.

Satanism does not condone killing except in defense of your own life. Also, I've met a great deal of incarcerated Christians, but not a single one who is Satanist, so I wouldn't be so quick to hand out labels.

Your opinions on Satanism are of little concern to me, but rather your misinformation and slandering of a severely misunderstood school of thought. You claimed that the more selfish you are the better Satanist you'd be, and that if we all followed their-- ahem-- "ridiculous" rules we would all be in jail. These misconceptions demonstrate that your understanding of Satanism is far from perfect. I'd like to see you provide me with some reasoning for why being a Satanist is the equivalent to being a criminal.

I do love the quote you provided on "controlled selfishness". What do you think he meant by that, exactly?

Let's not forget it took Jesus three days to die.

Let me "split some more hairs" then and ask....what good "Bible" did you get that incorrect information from?

That was a complete mistake that I'm very embarrassed over. Your other responses are unworthy of a riposte. Your own god commands fear and yet you accuse it of being a tool of the devil. This kind of reasoning makes my head explode.

That's what I said at first. Lol but these people just don't get it. I mean seriously what harm is religion doing anyway? It's like they think they are helping others by convincing other people to not be Christian.. kinda strange.

Surely I'm not included in "these people"?

"Not looking forward to it" is different than "fearing" it.  Eloi Eloi Lama Sabachthani translated is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

Now you're just splitting hairs. I don't know what kind of robot you think Jesus was but let me assure you he was very much a man who displayed a broad range of human emotions throughout his recorded life-- from compassion to rage, and from assurance to dread. You're attempting to dehumanize a man I hold in high regard here, and it's pretty insulting to say the least. I understand you have this idea of Jesus as some otherworldly being, but even your own doctrine preaches that before his resurrection he was merely mortal and subject to all of our faults and shortcomings. To claim a man-- any man, deified or otherwise-- would not feel fear while tortured is just preposterous.

Thank you for contributing more and trolling less, Walks. I very much agree.

The only line there is, is the same for all of us, only a supremacist would consider otherwise.

Obviously you failed to sense the irony in my statement.

Yeah, hitting your wife is frowned upon in the bible. Killing her, on the other hand-- well, that just depends on how far she crosses the line.

It's a good thing to be selfish in satanism it's like the more selfish you are the better satanist you are. I'm sorry I just don't agree on that. I don't think everyone is as selfish as a satanist. And if everyone were as selfish as a satanist the people in Haiti would have no help. Also, if we all actually went by there ridiculus "rules" we would all be in jail I mean seriously this rule is by far the most ridiculus:

Please desist, Lacey. You're understanding of Satanism is below par. I've known quite a few Satanists and they were a lot more kind-hearted and genuine than many of the Christians you'll find today. Just because their precepts encourage you to think of yourself before others does not mean that they're to only think of themselves. The Satanist believes that it's impossible to help others unless you help yourself first-- this logical and sensible idealism does not warrant the degree of criticism and lack of understanding you're showing, purely based off of your preconceptions of what it means to be a Satanist.

You want to talk ridiculous? Let's see you get slapped and then turn the other cheek to invite another.

Most of the disciples died horrific deaths, many missionaries have, Jesus sure did.  When one's soul is in God's Hands, there is nothing to fear.

Jesus feared death.

Eloi Eloi Lama Sabachthani

You would honestly have to be completely deranged not to.

This thread has become an entity.

And Sheryl, I doubt whatever version of the bible you carry translates any better than what she's quoted.

I've witnessed such miracles myself first-hand, and I have personally had an experience speaking in tongues-- quite a frightening experience to say the least. Both of these occurrences were guided by people of different religion, each strong in their faith, and has made me a very strong believer in the power of the human mind.
