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.
However, "spiritual" Satanism seems much more interesting to me. They certainly make much bigger promises.
