I personally believe that Satanism is stupid. I read the Satanic bible and Satanic witch, which seemed nothing more than Antons spin on Nietzsche’s philosophical views, which Anton grossly misunderstood to begin with. Anton’s writing style is witty so the comical value in his writing was there but to follow his rhetoric would have rendered me dumb as well.
Satanism is an excuse for anyone to overindulge and pass up exercising self discipline or the desire to cultivate positive habits. It is only self serving and subjective at best. There is no truth in it. Yes we are animals but our ability to reason sets us higher. To ignore that is a dangerous thing.
Satanism also attracts weak minded people, gives them something to stand behind that in a sense props them up. When weak willed people who lack the ability to show class or argue knowledgeably lash out, they can always say it was keeping in accord to their beliefs in Satanism. In that sense they do become nothing more than animals.
Most people I know who have been involved in Satanism are emotionally unstable, narcissistic, and completely self serving to the point it makes them narrow minded.
Making excuses is the puritanical Satanist’s modus operandi .
