I Lie.
I Cheat
I Steal
and
I Hurt others.
I’m a Satanist - what did you expect?
I should add, you also Lie, Cheat, Steal & hurt others.
How could you not? It’s the way of the world that we exist in.
Satanism isn’t Idealistic - it’s realistic.
Idealism is for Religions, Poets, politicians, and Swindlers.
Satanism is a philosophy that is fluid and erodes constructs.
Satanists might shun the religious-minded, unless they are of use, of course.
Seldom is there a “we” in Satanism… but there is when speaking for a philosophy in general terms.
When I speak about Satanism it is with authority, the authority earned and awarded to me, by Dr. Anton LaVey, author of the Satanic Bible and the creator of modern Satanism.
We are certainly not a philosophy of joiners. No matter how much spin a rich kid and his Satanic puppet put on the philosophy of Satanism.
We are however a pleasure-seeking, intellectual horde who struggles to understand the difference between personal power and the illusion that great magicians create of power, that most are tricked into climbing.
Satanists do not climb power.
Satanists do not seek power.
Satanists do not fall for illusions of power.
WE ARE POWER!
And we are the creators of the illusions of power.
From politicians to soda pop, Satanists seem to be able to trick you at your own game, again and again.
The Satanic philosophy is a mirror of the world in which we live.
The Satanist sees the big picture, in a universal, Carl Sagan, pale blue dot kinda way.
There isn’t a good or evil within Satanism.
Only IS & DO.
Doogie is a Satanist, probably the only one involved within the satanic temple.
Doogie is also considered a Judas Goat.
He is desperate and a danger because of that desperation.
Spinning stories for money. Not for progress.
Working for a glorified law firm called the satanic temple and, as a tour guide for the Chamber of Commerce of the sleepy Halloween town of Salem, Mass.
I stopped liking Doug when he suggested we turn people against one another. To what end I thought?
I can only, imagine, much like a child, doogie is looking to see how far his power can go and, with sadistic intent, angry at a world that took his eye.
Satanism isn’t a bully pulpit.
Satanism isn’t a tool for the bully or the politician.
It's the Satanist that proclaims they are a wolf, that should be treated as the dog they proclaim to be. (Btw - I treat dogs with love, warmth and meet their needs)
Beware of those who only know tooth and claw. They are corrupt and of the past.
Satanism is pleasure-seeking with an intellectual base.
War is for the ignorant.
Satanism is there to capture YOUR imagination.
Living out another's imagination is the antithesis of Satanism.
When the satanic temple was created, we used the word “religion” because it’s a word of authority.
Remember that… if you’re attracted to religion you’re probably into lording authority over others, or into having authority lorded over you… and the religious only have to agree with their chosen religion to be granted the mystical authority of a god or deity by that chosen religion..
This kind of foolery is most attractive to the poor and downtrodden.
Don’t be fooled by the religious zealot who claims peace, love and freedom as they spout THEIR religious beliefs.
Satanists will forever be the adversary to those who might want us to believe or to follow.
Religion is where rules are given and thought goes to die.
As Religion dies a nasty death - Satanism is alive and well!
We must enter the age of undoing individually and with thought, imagination, and intelligent actions.
But of course, I could be lying. - SHANE BUGBEE
