An Essay on Satanism by Baphomet  
An Essay on Satanism - by Baphomet
 

This is a stab to the heart. Of those who would have us guilty for our past.

Massacres happen all the time. Brutal butchering, murder, rape and torture.
All that are frequently remembered are those that have happened in the past
years of this Century.

Take yourself back to the early days, described as the "Dark ages". A fairy
tale land of Noble knights, kings and queens. If only that could be said.
During these "noble" times, the Christian church was one of the most
powerful criminal organisations, if not THE most powerful criminal
organisation. Unfortunately this could still be said in this day and age.
The church virtually decided which man, women or child kept his/her life,
soul and sanity.

During these ill fated times of Christian rule there was an "infallible"
excuse for merciless treatment. This word of course was heresy. Heresy is
the blatant disrespect or insurrection, mental or physical, against a
"chosen" organisation. Back in the Dark ages it was any word against the
Christian church. Thousands, even quoted upon millions, of mainly women
were burnt, tortured and raped because they spoke out against the churches
ignorant beliefs and practices. This time was called the Inquisition.  The
charges were "Devil Worship". Not were just pagans and Satanists butchered
but also Protestants and Judaists. All of those killed however were by Pope
Innocent the Thirds, command. This great feat was accomplished by the same
group of people who's foremost "Commandment" is Thou shalt not Kill.

More war has been caused or carried on in the name of "God" than there have
been statues made of Budda. Yet still after all these years of change, the
oppression is still boiling over against Satanists. Much of this is fueled
by the hypocritical Christian and "white light" community.

Whilst the average man or women pays for the partial upkeep of the church
through collection plates, they do not know they are probably feeding,
clothing and sheltering a person who could be responsible for more than one
mistreatment of children in his trust.
In many cases countries, such as Australia, boast of their dedication to
multiculturalism and acceptance of other views and practices.
Satanists are allowed to practice there beliefs freely and without
retribution, but still have to pay taxes to keep the views and ways of
Christian life in place. As does anyone who pays tax whatever there beliefs.
People under the age of eighteen are kept back from the negative influence
of Satanism.

Why should a large group of people, the majority of whom are Christian,
keep Satanic youth away from the realms of Self-worship and the praise of
life's goodness?
Why is this when many youths are forcefully placed in the role of being
terrified by an overruling "God"?
Which is the negative religion?
Why?
Why can it be said that Satanists are an evil, hateful people obsessed with
life's destruction when the only evidence is the adhering to manufactured
Hollywood hype?
What then, is a Satanist you ask? One should be cautious when asking the
Satanists' enemies who or what "real Satanists" are; many Christians behave
quite paranoiac and see Satanists everywhere.
We base our lives on reality, not on spiritual pipe dreams! Everything is
subject to the scrutiny of our minds and the senses of our flesh. Blind
belief has no place in our lives. We feel that it is Christians who are
twisted and dangerous.
As seen in there hypocritical "Holy" Vows.

Chastity? Does this overlook the past and present abuse of children?

Poverty? When the Vatican is considered the worlds smallest independent
country with it's own radio broadcasting station, railway line and it's
personal currency for use only within the Vatican.
The Pope himself observes this vow? When he, John Paul, carries a solid
gold staff?

Obedience? Thou shalt not kill? Remember the crusades? Live by the "word of
god" or die by the sword. I would like to see the Christian community say
that they have and still live by Jesus' teachings when one of the New
Testaments most famous Scriptures states that "Ye free of Sin may cast the
first stone".

After these years, centuries, of discrimination, murder, virtually accepted
murder, Satanists still stand as strongly and distinguished as before. The
hope that is still mistakenly gained from the Bible shall be gained from
this fact. Not flinching when attacked by the tactics of Christians in
power to make themselves feel better. The sunset of Christianity is upon
us. The dawn of Satanism is at
hand.

To submit to the plain, "in your face" facts, Christianity is slowly
drawing, gasping, for it's last breath.
When the Christian, Xian religions have self imploded some may look back
and say, "I blindly followed that, followed that at all?". Some shall look
back with no regret, and some with an empty sadness, but I can assure you,
there is no future for Christianity and it's Xtian offspring. There is only
the long, heart wrenching look back down the valley of despair.

We, Satanists, will not have to look within to find out who we are/ We
shall not be traitors to all that we owned. I hope this information is
viewed without the prejudice inflicted upon us, Satanists, in the past and
today. The aspects and angles of thought were always and still are, always,
open for the scrutiny we undergo. Without the clouded mind Satanism has
been looked upon, hopefully, we shall all understand that something has
been said and something will be done.
