Since Satanism is essentially a religion of the self, it holds that the individual and his personal needs comes first. If that means playing with trains or spike-heeled shoes or singing in the bathtub, those are its sacraments and devotions.

Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all-fours, who, because of his “divine spiritual and intellectual development,” has become the most vicious animal of all!

There is no God. There is no supreme, all-powerful deity in the heavens that cares about the lives of human beings. There is nobody up there who gives a shit. Man is the only god. Man must be taught to answer to himself and other men for his actions.

Satanism, in fact, is the only religion which advocates the intensification or encouragement of the ego. Only if a person’s own ego is sufficiently fulfilled, can he afford to be kind and complimentary to others, without robbing himself of his self‐respect.

The squealing Christian creep is correct in assuming Satanism is dangerous. It's plenty dangerous but not because of orgies, infant stealing, animal mutilation or other unimaginative titillations. Satanism is dangerous because it encourages originality over herd mentality.

As a Satanist, you don't have to turn the other cheek. You can share the hypocrisies around you, but you don't have to like them. You can spot them for the games they are—the subtle curses—and stalk with stealth as an alien with X-ray vision.
