How many of the Nine Satanic Statements do you agree with?

[admiral1018]

From The Satanic Bible by Anton LaVey:

1. Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence!
   
2. Satan represents vital existence instead of spiritual pipe dreams!
   
3. Satan represents undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit!
   
4. Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it instead of love wasted on ingrates!
   
5. Satan represents vengeance instead of turning the other cheek!
   
6. Satan represents responsibility to the responsible instead of concern for psychic vampires!
   
7. 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!
   
8. Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!
   
9. Satan has been the best friend the Church has ever had, as He has kept it in business all these years!

Some of these seem pretty reasonable. I'd probably say I agree with 5-6 of them. Surprisingly more than I would agree with out of the Ten Commandments.

So I hardly ever think of his work, it doesn't mean anything to me, to me it's just edgy atheism. And his work calls out non-lavey'n satanists just as much as its calling out christians or any spiritual religions

A LaVey'n Satanist doesn't pray to anything, a traditionalist Satanist prays to the devil

Arguably, you're Christian.

You share the same mythology with them. You're just a very abnormal sect.

"Most theistic Satanist groups exist in relatively new models and ideologies, many of which are independent of the Abrahamic religions.[2][4][6]"

Satan is a construction of Christianity. He does not exist in Judaism.

The original term was ha'satan and just meant something akin to a lawyer in service of God.

So there only myth you could get him from is Christianity.

Lucifer can be found outside Christianity, but not Satan, and those are two different characters.

I don't care about the christian god at all, or christian, anything. Nor what the christian book says. The bible is your holy book, your stories, but not mine, I'm a different religion.

I'm a nihilist, I have no book, rules, tenants, etc.

Faith is the death of intelligence.

Faith always exists, if your faith isn't in a god, its in science and technology. Or something else.

Nope. I have faith in nothing. I am exquisitely empty.

I was born blessedly immune to faith thanks to my particular flavour of autism.

Any given belief is a tool to be discarded the second it appears inaccurate.

The search for truth is destructive. Truth cannot be destroyed. So to find truth, you attempt to destroy all.

Religion is BS.

Satanists are Christians, because satan has been created by the kirsitans as enemy of jesus super star.

Satan is allegory of the planet Saturn / Pluto and the underworld, the fall into the darker times where nights are longer, Sun is at it's lowest, life is hardest, harshest and at it's most vulnerable.

Mythology, Kronos, Hades.
Astrology, Capricorn, Scorpio, Aquarius.

Satan is not Saturn, you are mixing Lucifer with Venus. Satan come from the satyr.

This is incorrect. Satan derives from the Hebrew word ha'satan, which was effectively a lawyer in the employment of Yahweh.

Christians then invented Satan by combining several separate characters (the snake, ha'satan, etc) into a single entity. It's a construction based on ♥♥♥♥♥♥ translations of the Torah.
