With all respect, i ask that only Satanists reply in this thread.

Anyways, im confused with which view of Satanism to follow. I dont know if i should follow the Spiritual or the LaVeyan concept. What are your opinions on these two viewpoints? Can anyone clear it up for me? LaVeyan or Spiritual? Why?

Thanks guys.

Depends how "serious" you want to be. LaVey mostly meant it as a joke.

BTW, if you define "Satanist" as someone who 1) acknowledges the existence of Satan and 2)believes that he has many powers over us, then most Christians are Satanists.

I'd like to speak to a Satanist who is over the age of 21 and clearly not a dumbass.

Okay, I've read up on both of them. My conclusion? LaVeyan Satanism is total bullshit. Anton LaVey's life was basically one big lie, his "philosophy" is about as deep and revelatory as a four-year-old's, and the whole thing is pretty much just reactionary bullshit. From looking at the Church of Satan's site and tenets, I'd guess the majority of their members are 14 or so. http://www.totse.com/bbs/tongue.gif

However, "spiritual" Satanism seems much more interesting to me. They certainly make much bigger promises. While I can't say I agree with all of their tenets, as they believe in a supernatural being and all, it seems to me to make much more sense in general. The tradition has much more history behind it, too. Here is a main site; this and this may be interesting. This too.

However, I don't recommend following any Satanism. It's all bunk, in my opinion; I'm not infallible, of course, but I see no reason at all to believe any of these sects. Why not just believe what seems right to you? Use logic and science as your tools, not candles and mystical gibberish. http://www.totse.com/bbs/smile.gif

Actually, if you're going to be a Satanist, I might recommend the Temple of Set. They seem more logical and professional than the others. I haven't read deeply into their beliefs yet, but from what I've seen it's interesting.

Edit: Never mind! It's Satanic Scientology. "Pay us and we'll teach you."

how did i know someone would cite the JOS website as a good source? don't get me wrong, it is. but, its overused in most things. and no, i don't have an alternative. if you join with them, don't get too attatched to most of the ministry besides maxine(sp). a few have switched religions completely if not going to other organizations.
