Satanic Bible

http://std.kku.ac.th/4830401674/The%20Satanic%20Bible.pdf

I just finished reading it, and it was quite interesing.

Notable quotes:

Satan represents responsibility to the responsible

I question all things. As I stand before the festering and varnished facades of your
haughtiest moral dogmas, I write thereon in letters of blazing scorn: Lo and behold; all
this is fraud!

He that is slow to believe anything and everything is of great understanding, for belief
in one false principle is the beginning of all unwisdom.

Life is the great indulgence - death, the great abstinence. Therefore, make the most of
life - HERE AND NOW!

God can do all the things man is forbidden to do - such as kill people, perform miracles
to gratify his will, control without any apparent responsibility, etc. If man needs such a
god and recognizes that god, then he is worshipping an entity that a human being
invented. Therefore, HE IS WORSHIPPING BY PROXY THE MAN THAT INVENTED GOD. Is it not more sensible to
worship a god that he, himself, has created, in accordance with his own emotional needs - one
that best represents the very carnal and physical being that has the idea-power to invent a god
in the first place?

You cannot love everyone; it is ridiculous to think you can. If you love everyone and
everything you lose your natural powers of selection and wind up being a pretty poor
judge of character and quality. If anything is used too freely it loses its true meaning.
Therefore, the Satanist believes you should love strongly and completely those who
deserve your love, but never turn the other cheek to your enemy!

The watchword of Satanism is INDULGENCE instead of "abstinence" . . . BUT - it is not
“compulsion“.

or for a comical although essentially accurate depiction in the form of song!!

Judging from those quotes, it seems rather interesting. I'm not saying I would worship satan, I just found those quotes to be interesting.

btw, your sig(s) are awesome.

you should at least read the first 2 books of the satanic bible so you can actually fully understand it.

the satanic bible has almost nothing to do with the judo-chiristian being called 'Satan'.

The religion is actually much better sounding than any form of Christianity.... although what parts advocates physical harm to others? Just want to take a quick read, I hope my Library has it.

Gauz wrote:although what parts advocates physical harm to others?

none of it.

It doesn't even advocate harm to animals. It's actually the opposite. Satanism would rather someone sacrifice themselves in a ritual than sacrifice animals. But even that isn't called for.




okay, well, 1 part deals with harming others, but its in indulging in your fetishes. if someones masochistic, you nearly have an obligation to hurt them.

Okay, well I guess satanists being crazy ritualists who sacrafice people/animals is just a common misconception.

who voted ridiculous?

and yes, gauz, thats pretty much how it is. the book actually addresses where those ideas came from and such.

Would like to hear that explained.

Listen to MY Dogma! ^^

Yeah, I agree with this. If something is worth believing in, one should devote time to understanding it.

"If it feels good, do it!"
The mantra of hedonism, extolled by such as Oscar Wilde and Aldous Huxley... ironically.

So, belief in a God is inherently wrong, but belief in a god is inherently right?

Mhmm...
The inherent argument here is assuming that God is essentially human.
Whereas a human could not possibly love everybody, a God who could observe all of Humanity's actions and motivations, could understand and love each individual human.

Its basically that people should be held accountable to their actions.

well thats not the ENTIRE passage. the rest of that chapter goes on to suggest that there is no reason to even externalize your god from yourself, and instead worship yourself as though you're a god.

why are people voting ridiculous but not actually posting?

because they are too busy coming all over a bible

Can any man ever be any dumber than to follow this religion?

Like really? There are no prophets, they humans wrote the book. Not even eyewitnesses. This is the lowest form of religon.

Honestly why do they use Satan? It could be anyone who said those sayings. But the Satan as we know through multiple prophets is a horrible man who would never, ever say these things. I don't think this religion truly follows Satan.

And because it was made by HUMANS who have never experienced any sort of prophecy or message from Satan or his counterparts write a full book made of liberal crap just to get people to follow. It doesn't have enough credit to be called a religion.


They are just waiting to get ripped by almost all the Abrahamic religions, Atheists and a bunch of other religons.

some people fail to realize its not a worship of satan but i worship to the principle of reason and freedom...

to be christian would be quite a bit dumber.

try actually reading the Satanic Bible before bashing it.

I read your infernal Bible (I actually have a copy sitting 12 inches in front of me at this moment)

Obviously an Atheist bible, so fuck it.

It's one thing to not believe in God, and it's even another to resent some of the fanatics that do, but being fanatical and trying to convert others to your cause and alienating all others just like those that you claim to not be like?

That right there is the kind of person and mentality I just can't stand.

But you are worshiping yourself as a god. Note the lower case.
Whereas a God is a higher power, you are merely centering your admiration and devotion unto yourself.
Even non-Christian cultures would call that 'arrogance'.

KristallNacht wrote:why are people voting ridiculous but not actually posting?

Well, it's the same with any thread. If you say "It makes sense" that's all you have to do, but if you say "That's ridiculous", you have to come in and defend that position.

Not only is that more involved than most people get, but... well, you know how much people like to try and argue with you.

That was, in every sense, uncalled for.

Following Abrahamic religions, all Satan would have to do is get people to turn away or disbelieve in God. He doesn't have to get people to follow him per se.

Not sure if you meant to say "A worship to the principle of reason" instead of "i worship to the principle of reason"
But this is less reason, and more hedonism.
People ask what's wrong with pursuing pleasure, and I say "everything in moderation." Look at how Oscar Wilde and Mick Jagger ended up.

I have not, but I will go through it. How long is it?

I doubt you actually read the Qu'ran, unless it was preparation for a deployment, but I know you didn't read the bible any more than Carl Sagan did.

Arrogance is when you truly believe you're more entitled and better than everyone else on a absolute level. this is a lot different. It the promotion of a healthy ego.

I have not, but I will go through it. How long is it?

an hour or so of reading if you include the Book of Belial and Leviathan. The Book of Lucifer is the core text though.

I've read all of the bible....and no, not the Qu'ran.

i'm not even sure the point you're trying to make...

and its not an 'atheist' bible since it still believes in an influential force in the universe.

I'm a firm believer in religious freedom, so i'm okay with people believing in this stuff.

But do i think the satanic bible is ridiculous?

Yes.

Espically as it's completely bogus.

It seems much more like an attack on religion (namely Christianity/Judaism) and much less an actual religious text.

just as much as Christianity is an attack on pagan religions.

Hell, The Satanic Bible, while only written in the 1960s, is based on information from as far back as before Christianity even began.

Philosophies?

If you call em that.

All they say is for you to be selfish, cause life is short.

And that God is trash.
