Satanism is clearly not understood by the public. We, as Satanists,
do not feel the need to
convince others of the "correctness" of our religion. I have no such
compulsion. I will deal
with common misconceptions of Satanism, to bring light to a subject
cast into darkness by
christianity.
My purpose is to dispel lies christians constantly spread.
Satanism has nothing whatever to do with the christian devil. "Satan"
comes from ancient Hebrew
and means "opposer." Opposing the ideas of the judeo-christian religion,
we make an alliance
with "Satan" who opposes the morals and dogma of the so-called holy
church and all its
followers.
Furthermore, we are proud to call on our brothers, the names of the
demons and devils, which
were the Gods and Goddesses of peoples conquered by christian hordes
and "converted" to
christianity. A great crowd of deities has suffered this treatment.
Remember the crusades? Live
by the "word of god" or die by the sword. The moslems have not forgotten
and they have not
forgiven.
Once they conquered, the "holy church" stole the holy days of captured
peoples and converted
them to christian "holidays." The most obvious example is christmas.
What is the xmas tree for?
Why do we give presents? Who is St. Nicholas? Why is the holiday at
the time of the winter
solstice, when the sun begins on its journey of "rebirth," when the
days become longer again?
Pagan practices were woven into christianity to weld the new believer
to his new home. Why is
easter always the first Sunday after the first full moon after the
spring equinox? The pagan
origin of this date is obvious.
We have taken back our gods and our holidays. Those who stole them from
us are long gone, but
their ancestors remain. What they tout as "evil" is only what they
wish to destroy, much as
Hitler called the Jews evil to stamp them out and it is no different
with christians. They
label us evil. Unlike the pagans of the past, we do not fear their
name calling. We proudly
wear the label EVIL! After all, "Evil" is only "live" spelled backwards.
We do not sacrifice animals and we do not harm children. Period. Every
man, woman and child was
killed at Jericho (according to the bible), their heads were severed
and placed on the stakes.
This was at the order of jehovah. Satan gives no such orders. No Satanist
would take such an
order anyway. We are not the sons of Abraham, we will not offer our
children up to jehovah to
die.
We consider the statement, "god exists," to be FALSE. Therefore, in
the strictest sense, we are
atheists. The so-called arguments for the existence of god are travesties
to reason. Every
argument for the judeo-christian god is clearly FALSE due to being
illogical. George S.
Smith's, "Atheism, the Case Against God," provides iron-clad proof
that god does not, cannot,
exist.
We choose life here, not in some fantasy world proposed to exist after
we die. The idea of an
afterlife is to us, plainly stated, stupid.
Christians at large consider us dangerous and twisted. Please note that
we are not the ones who
believe in something that we cannot see, we are not the ones willing
to lay down our lives and
the lives of our families for the hope of future happiness. We base
our lives on reality, not
on spiritual pipedreams! 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.
The sunset of christianity is upon us. The dawn of Satanism is at hand.
