Satanism Essay, Research Paper

SatanismI am hoping I can somehow make this seem like a psychological reportwithout making it lose any of it’s important details. My goal in writing this paper isto hopefully make people understand and agree that Satanism is not a “DevilWorshipping,” animal mutilating, child scarifying cult organization. Thepsychological thing comes in when people say Satanism is wrong or evil, theyhear the word Satan and automatically assume that it must be bad. They makethese assumptions without even taking the time to find the facts and understandthem. I’ll start off by saying that Satanists do not worship the devil! A Satanistbelieve that he or she as an individual rule their own destiny and are the god oftheir own lives. Satanism is a religion based on the reality that man is ananimal, like all others. They choose to separate themselves from a societywhere natural behavior is suppressed and the strong support the weak. Theaverage Satanist disagrees with much of Christianity. In many ways Christiansare considered the enimies. Christians say Satan is a fallen angel, not a God.All religions have gods and demons, some of which are forbidden by a typicalsociety. Satan is one among these, originally conceived by the Hebrews, longbefore the birth of Jesus. Most Satanists are familiar with the teachings ofChristianity, and have read the Bible or part of it. They simply consider theBible to be false and disregard it much like Christians would disregard bookswhich represent the foundation of another religion. Satanism is not considered a religion for the white race and should not beconfused with or grouped together with skinheads, The KKK, Nazi’s, Neo-Nazi’s,or people who support white power. Satanists are not teenage vandals, notgang murderers, not psychopathic murders, not child molesters or viciousrapists. Satanists do not sacrifice young children or animals. The ninth andtenth of the Eleven Satanic Rules of The Earth forbid this, in fact, animalsacrifices are primarily used in the Afro-Caribbean syncretistic religions such asVoodoun, Candomble’, and Santeria. Child Sacrifices are used in Television andby journalists to improve ratings. A Satanist does not practice baby breedingor child molestation. Evidence does not support what is said to occur. If thenumber of murders said to be committed by Satanists’ was accurate somebodies would have been found by now. Members of the Church of Satan are involved and advanced exactly astheir own desires, abilities, and accomplishments dictate. There are no setactivities, meetings, or contacts. A new member comes into the organizationideally with his or her own goals and plans of achieving them. When beingbrought to the church of Satan new members are told to not let anyone tell you

what to believe or what to do. Advice or recommendations are one thing; ordersor commands quite another. Remember that you are a free being, not a pawn insomeone’s power fantasy. They believe the weaker elements of society shouldserve the stronger elements of society or perish. Satanists support any means ofreturning to the order of Darwin’s Natural Selection Process, this is inclusive ofelimination of welfare to selective sterilization of those weaker elements. Weakelements are determined by performance and intelligence, not race or religion. So where does Satan come into all of this? Satanists believe Satan (andother gods) is not so much an entity as a force of nature. These gods are not allconcerned with the life of mortals. Satan is a very powerful word that serves asan isolation between Satanists and society. It is this separation that a trueSatanist appreciates and holds dear. the separation of a society where thestrong and willing work for what they need and want but are forced to supportthe weak through welfare and charity. Satanists’ know their opinions may not bepolitically correct, but they still obey the laws governing man on this planet andthey expect the same protection under the laws as other minorities, races andreligions. There are several divisions of the believe systems of various “Satanic”groups. Satanism has changed so much from it’s original form. For instance agroup that are sometimes referred to as The Dabblers adopt Satanic beliefs for abrief period of time, usually for entertainment rather than serious purposes. Many modern youths fall into this category. A Promethian Gnostic believethat the creator of the world (Jehovah) is the evil deity. They look at Satan asthe “bringer of life”; a beneficent god. Then there is the Dark Gnostic whoworships the dark force of nature. These type of groups follow a Capriciousgod. A Secondary Satanist would not consider themselves as being “Satanic”and actually should not be defined as Satanists. Hellfire Clubs were aphenomenon of the 18th century. The first of those was founded in the early1700’s. Members of a Hellfire Club were dedicated to political intrigue andsome occasional occult activities. Many would be suprised to know thatBenjamin Franklin was a very active member of this club. Those are just a fewexamples of different Satanic groups. There is one thing that all groups doagree on and that is the Satanic Bible. The Satanic Bible is a describing bookby Anton LaVey, founder of the church of Satan. I hope your views of Satanism have been verified. In the end you are freeto believe what you want and understand. I would like to state that this paper isnot written on my personal views, opinions, or religion
