Are there any LaVeyan Satanists here? I think the philosophy is substantial but the term "Satanism" shouldn't be applied to it.

Fuck LaVey.

Laveyan Satanism just seems like typical humanism/individualism with the concept of Satan attached to it and a bunch of "badass" posturing.

 

[skeptik]

LaVeyan Satanism is for atheists who need a structured sense of belonging and are self-centered.

[Cythraul]

actually thats occult satanism

ummmm no.

 

[mutantllama]

Now whats Occult Satanism?

 

[skeptik]

Occult is not a specific type of Satanism, considering that occult is a vague term.

 

[mutantllama]

I know what occultism is but I thought they were talking about something like a mix of Occultism and Satanism.

 

[ohiogrinder]

ummmm no.

LaVeyan Satanists don't advocate the idea of an "actual" Satan. and most don't flaunt in people's faces that they are a follower of LaVeyan Satanism, i.e., you accusation of this so-called "badass posturing". trust me, I know at least two people who are Satanists.

Well, he never made the first claim, and the second claim just isn't true.

 

[ohiogrinder]

what do you even mean by that? are you saying LaVeyan Satanists go out of their way to be obnoxious about their religion or lack thereof?

 

[skeptik]

Many of them actually do, yes. LaVey himself often personified this.

Whatever but what I meant was "badass posturing by way of doctrine".

Let's take a look at a few quotes. *grabs copy of Jewtanic Bible*

"To the North and to the South I show a sign proclaiming: Death to the weakling, wealth to the strong!"

"Hate your enemies with a whole heart, and if a man smite you on one cheek, SMASH him on the other!; smite him hip and thigh, for self-preservation is the highest law!"

"Blessed are the iron-handed, for the unfit shall flee before them"

"Blessed are the powerful, for they shall be reverenced among men-Cursed are the feeble, for they shall be blotted out!"

 

[ohiogrinder]

I don't think that necessarily means "throw it in people's faces"

yea. and you've met him, right?
