Satanism With a Side of Kimchi Part 3

Chapter 3: Three Satanic Articles: The Flourishing of Satanism in the Digital Age, The Age of the Digital Libertine, and The Positives of Satanism in the 21st Century Part 1: Introduction When I begun writing this book, I thought it was going to be more about Satanism in its most generic form. Then I started to see that I could show Satanism in a positive light, one just has to leave people to their own discoveries I really don’t care if any of you ever become Satanists, I really will never be emotionally affected if you decide to disparage Satanism, because I don’t worry about the continuation of the Satanic religion. Satanism is the most selfish of religions, because you can choose to become the center of your own world, which in-turn supersedes success. When you have opposition, you are guaranteed to excel further, and we are all sinners, heathens, and acolytes in our own way, because we are all realistic with our desires being vital. Even if you believe in a heaven or hell, even if you believe in an after life, you only have this short time on Earth. The only one that involves pleasure and tantalizing desire, then I say you have the right to involve yourself as much, or as little in these pleasures, but don’t condemn someone else for doing what you may not be able to stomach. The old axiom of agreeing to disagree and leaving it at that should stand firm. Satanism is not for everyone, just like voting, it should be practiced by the most deserving of society, because it is meant for those mature enough, and fiscally responsible enough to handle the history and the power that comes from such forms of individual worship. Satanism is selfish, but not meant to give you a big head with blatant narcissism, it calls for personal responsibility, and that if you choose to harm or love through a ritual, conjuring ill and hope for your enemies or friends, be prepared to take those actions as seriously as any threat in life. The following pages will consist of three articles on such subjects of personal responsibility, the so-called Seven Deadly Sins, and the major taboos of the modern western world, which are still controversial despite cultural diffusion in a modern global economy. In theory I’m all for libertinism, but like the rest of those who live in reality, I don’t want to wake up with an itchy crotch, or more warts than I went to bed with the night (or day) before. Therefore, I scarcely practice libertinism, but I will gladly cheer from the sidelines. I do not condone irrational behavior, but that does not mean we cannot open up to rational discussions on subjects that may seem obscure to the “good” people in the Western culture. I believe in discussion: a debate that doesn’t necessarily only rely on controversial topics to stir the pot, but I do call for a regal talk about some taboo subjects, because what is still very frightening to us, what makes our skin crawl are the most primal, animalistic indulgences that go back to a time before human decency. The first article “The Flourishing of Satanism in the Digital Age was originally written as a discussion on the Satanic perspective of the hypocrisy of technology bringing us closer together in some loving global peace, but rather is the cesspool where the so-called sanctimonious masses go to see the most harkening smut, and fulfilling the most sinful desires. I use the seven deadly sins for reference in this opinionated article, and the World Wide Web as my stage to put on this obscured display. The next article entitled “The Age of the Digital Libertine” or “For Love of the American Republic in the Age of Satan” pertains to the most horrific human acts imaginable in this day-and-age when the Internet exposes so many now to the horrors that make us such a unique creature. I am particularly proud of this essay, which comes straight from the heart, as it will reference the absurdity of what we find absurd! Whenever we wander aimlessly about the confines of the internet, and occasionally get a shock that there are still people being brutishly raped, maimed, tortured, and cannibalized, and that is just in Detroit, then you start to see that the world is not just fuzzy little kittens playfully batting around a baby duckling, but it is a nasty place. I love when that reality hits people again, and again, because I know: the beasts we may be are nowhere near as horrible as the beasts we hide in that little grey box we call brains. The final article entitled “The Positives of Satanism in the 21st Century” is a short article about the positives of Satanist, and why it is culturally acceptable today, more than any other time in history. Although it is the shortest of the three articles, it is the latest one I have personally written, and I quite enjoy how it rounds off the final chapter of this book. So I hope you enjoy these three articles, found only here, and nowhere else, and that they give you a fresh perspective on Satanism. I cannot speak for every Satanist, nor do I speak for the Church of Satanism, and although my opinions may not reflect every single Satanist on the planet, I am perfectly happy with that. Thank you for reading my book, I hope you found it a bit informative, or at the very least, entertaining. I know I cannot cover every aspect of Satanism, so please for a full account of the religion, philosophy, and works beyond this book on the subject of LaVeyan Satanism, refer to the scriptures mentioned in chapters one and two. Part 2: Articles The Flourishing of Satanism in the Digital Age By Malacast Agent This article on Satanism and how it is flourishing in the Digital Age uses the examples of the Seven Deadly Sins to make my point. It is also the one article that has been most influenced by the Satanic Bible. Satanism is the belief of all absolute pleasures and desires. Fulfill all enjoyment in this life, on this planet, and not to hope for pipe dreams of rainbows with pots of gold leading to the perfect afterlife, because they may not be there when you stop breathing. Satanism has become the belief of the majority of Americans, young and old. My thesis exists on the fact that Americans break the seven most deadly of the Christ God’s sins, seen at their origin as more sacred than the Ten Commandments. I will conclude with a much shorter article on Satanism in general to describe Media in the 21st century, and why the importance for desire trumps those of “contemporary” religions. The views expressed here and in Satanism are not new or modern, but they are in this Reverend’s humble opinion realistic and sensible compared to the obnoxious views seen in other churches. This article is written with good intent towards the Church of Satan, its views both politically, and religiously. I have written this article to my best ability and knowledge of Satanism. Satanism is alive and well in the digital age. Since the beginning of the 21st century, Satanism has shown a remarkable comeback in the way Americans live their everyday lives. Our lives are full of sin. The seven deadliest sins are now so commonplace; we fail to forget that they are sins. Everywhere we turn, the indulgence of these sins is becoming transparent. They have no fear, no damnation in their practice. Even the white light god of the Catholic Church was trounced by a new set of deadly sins, rendering god almost useless and the pulpit the only divine god on earth. Funny, those added deadly sins involve so much of technological additives. Texting while driving is one of the more ridiculous ones. Surely God shuns cell phones as much as I do, but the balls on the Catholic Church to even entail this as a sin shows that they are as outdated as June Cleaver. We delve into the pleasures of the original seven deadly sins every day without a second thought! Sure, some will argue that these seven deadly sins are irrelevant in this day-and-age, but most secular groups will still live in fear of these seven most horrible sins. Funny how child molestation was never an original deadly sin! I digress; the seven deadly sins are Anger, Avarice, Envy, Gluttony, Lechery, Sloth and Pride. These are the most horrific, terrible, and tragic sins one could ever commit under the white light Christ God’s rule. Foolish is it to believe that these sins are not broken at least once a day by the modern American. These arcane sins were once punishable by death, today they are all committed by searching the internet! All these sins, every single one of them is nowhere near as dangerous to the individual as say not indulging in them, and living a thrill-less life. I will show any doubter that these sins are natural human activities, and do not require any praying to some white-light deity hell-bent on conforming one to a god’s so-called rule of order. We will not pacify our indulgences to fit a need of the majority who live in fear, and herein I will show you the majority are sinning just as much as we are, in the one medium that allows them to indulge in these sins. The average person must be so blind they no longer fear for the afterlife, for here is how ever person has sinned, whether or not either they have accessed a computer, or a television set. Anger: a typical emotion one person will feel towards another. It is normal and okay to have anger towards another person, because it shows courage, emotion, and entitlement. Anger is not even a sin, let alone a bad thing, it is a feeling that we all have, and we have it for many reasons. Anger shows survival traits, it is important to be angry, and to show this emotional appropriately. Anger is the best medicine, trust me, it allows you to express emotions, rather than hold them in, and it allows those around you to learn and respect your feelings. If you hate someone, or something, you should learn to express that, so they know better not to cross you next time they are near you. People must learn to be self-efficient, and to fight for their respect. Men are no longer men, and women are becoming what men once were. Anger is important, because not every person can love one another in a peace and love fashion. Why should we respect one-another? Respect is earned! It must not be awarded without acknowledgement. It should be a sin to believe everyone in the world is worth the love of the individual. Ingrates do not deserve love; even some so-called family members may not deserve your love, but remember: Give love to those you do indeed cherish, but show no pity to those who would never return the favor! So how do we all break this horrid sin? A sin that would send even the purest soul to Tartarus? Let us look at the digital media, such as Twitter, YouTube, and a typical chat room as primary examples. Twitter is constantly used by people to send and retrieve small snippets of information, and digital images and news. I use it, just like everyone who feels self-important. It is a tool to spread anger, hatred, and atypical information in 140 characters or less. Incredulous is the smut that is sent back and forth! The malicious feelings we have for one-another, and our “opinions” saying so-and-so sucks, or that music is shit, or that one person‘s opinions are useless and they should die, is sheer anger. Now with Vine, people can be criticized so harshly in just six seconds of film, they are pushed to the brink of sanity! We now measure success in six measly seconds! YouTube is a hasher platform for anger, where full videos and emotion are made to placate our deepest angers towards people, political agendas, and etcetera. You cannot search one video without some form of anger coming up in place of the intended search. If you search for say Lady Gaga, since she is the most viewed person on the site, you will find plenty of videos of people saying how she sucks, should die, is a hermaphrodite, etc. Chat rooms are the best example of hatred we all participated in, because we believe since we are screaming or insinuating with text to people halfway across the world, it is not a form of anger. Granted, it is short outbursts of anger that part almost as fast as they come; but a natural form of anger that lasts until the end of the Digital Age. I should not even include Avarice, as it is so archaic with modern society; it needs no explanation. This deadly sin was broken severely with the creation of America and was first broken with the creation of capitalism. Avarice is in every waking moment, and every oncoming sleep. Every aspect of life in American Society, let-alone the world involves, Avarice. Few people purposely break this sin; most people participate in this rule subconsciously and do not even realize it is going to keep them from the shiny pearly gates of their hypocritical white light saviors. Avarice is the greed for wealth; it is the basis for Life! All great minds in the world who have ever contributed anything valuable to society have bent this golden rule of God, and will go to Hell. Seeing as all who are poor wish to be wealthy, and those who are wealthy, wish for even more wealth, I dare you to name one person that has never sinned! Capital keeps society running, hence this deadly sin has dispersed, it no longer factors into daily life. If you wish to be rich, then wish! Go for it! Try to obtain money in ways you know you can, or however you see fit. You can despise those who have wealth, it fills you with the want and need to excel and be rich! This is not a sin; it is common sense! Envy is another one of those deadly sins. We believe that it is bad to want what others have; this is foolish. Wanting what others have motivates us to go out and get those desires for ourselves. It is not a sin to want what you can’t or don’t have. Ebay is a great example of cashing in on this sin, and we don’t even care that we’re breaking a deadly sin! We buy things for much less than their valued worth on this site, hoping to get what we do not have for practically free. Beezid or whatever stupid sites out there offer this form of bidding and auctioning are examples of envious behavior. Escort services, prostitution, and other forms of sexual service can be sexual envies of porn stars, or sex idols that are practiced out with the next best thing. It is a deep and curdling sin that we break consciously, and there’s nothing wrong with it! Wanting what your neighbor has makes you aware! It makes you show passion and desire. It gives you pride to either work towards having it, or finding something that will fill that satisfaction. You would not burn in the fires of hell for this so-called sin, but rather burn in the rage of never expressing the emotions found with the wants and desires you have! Always, always find your desires, and fulfill them! Fulfillment is not a sin; it is a way of progression! When we are happy, we can desire and own what we don’t have, we become satisfied, we become invoked by something deep within that savors our emotions. Gluttony, another form of fulfillment, in the case of overeating is not a sin, nor is it even deadly. Surviving on more than one’s means is not going to kill, but look at how Americans, especially Americans are when it comes to Gluttony. We have more fetishes for food than sex. Food has become another four-letter word, it is our porn, and it is our desire. We rather eat the most desirable of cuisine than fuck a porn star! Granted, overeating sound safer than fucking, but is it? Is sex safer? Is overindulgence bad? No! Food is just as desirable as a sex partner for some, and that is not a sin! Look how we are with food: we have fast food for those “quickies” and we have five-star restaurants for those slow and sensual meals. Then when finished, bakeries creameries, and hot-dog stand in-between. If Gluttony is a sin to damn a soul, then 100% of Americans are doomed, and a good 65% of the rest of the world are in for damn sure. Gluttony is not the best of these sins to overindulge in, nor is it the worst sin humans can commit. Most sins only hurt the sinner, and no one else, only in the extreme conditions do they even come close to harming others. Though Gluttony and Sloth can tie-in, as they both can bring the other into existence, they are not bedfellows. Sloth is another deadly sin we indulge in all-too well. How? We, the busiest generation? Lazy? Can anyone be lazy? Impossible! No one is lazy! Everyone works, and loves it! Right? Wrong! Those who choose to, or are at the misfortune of living on the dole, are considered sloth-like, yet this is rather unfair. Sloth really deals with those who choose not participate in all the actions that are desirable to the Christ God. Sloth can deal with not wanting to procreate; it can also mean not wanting to attend religious practices, or community events. Pretty much, it means it is wrong to be alienated from others, and isolated. I disagree with this part of the sin, as laziness is useful not to strain the body so much, yet allows for personal freedom. There is nothing wrong with not wanting to join the flock, there is nothing wrong with wanting alone time, even as adults, and certainly it is not lazy or antisocial so much if you don’t want to associate with people who naturally piss you off to any vast extent. Sloth is not a terrible thing so-to-say, but it is perhaps the deadliest of the rest, as it can lead to depression, but take to mind, if you choose to break this sin, you accept the extent you wish to break it, and the consequences for any actions with this, or any other sin. Sure, sin is not real, but common sense will placate the idea that some of these are not great ideas. Take Lechery for example, it is a deadly sin, and it is one of the few that can get you arrested. Lechery is any lewd or cruel humor, which makes it the cop-out of the seven, meaning it was created by a person who got bored of detailing every sin. It is so broad that anything from web cams to sexting, to ex senators posting their privates on Twitter fall into this category. It’s lame even to mention the examples of this sin, as I think everyone who has private parts or a brain has broken this sin more than twice in their life. Lechery is seen in everything from television shows, to music, to free speech. The first amendment is Lechery. The Star Spangled Banner has Lechery in it; even the Bible is Lecherous! So if God’s words use this sin, who are we not to do it? Follow by example! Fuck Lechery, it doesn’t exist, and it’s certainly not a sin! Lastly, we have Pride. Pride is a sin, most see pride as a good thing, yet the white light gods say nay. Pride is one of the few sins that are taken seriously, like when kids’ soccer teams are not allowed to win, in case the children have a sense of fulfillment and triumph. Pride is what created sites like Facebook and Twitter. Pride is all over the world in this Digital Age, particularly on social networking sites and blogs. That chauvinistic view that ’I’m #1!’ is the most glowing form of pride in the history of the world. Self-importance is the new fad, and it is vital to most of what makes the Internet the Internet. It created churches, organizations, and is both the great creator and destructor of our favorite celebrities and ’special members of society’. Pride is not a bad thing, and even if it were, with more and more people joining social websites, and reality television shows not dying out, we will all be in Hell together. Pride is great because it forces the individual to progress. It makes us strive for some great end-goal. It makes us care about ourselves, and worship the ’Me’ we all love. Pride is the most important human sentiment, and without it, we would have been killed off and the wombats would have inherited the earth. My greatest point about Pride is that without it, nothing would matter, losers would have no idols to look up towards for inspiration, everyone would be a celebrity, and the weak and strong would have no distinction. Satanism in the Digital Age has survived due in-part to the looser inhibition of those from the past sexual revolution, and the broadening of understanding of human nature, and why we act so wild, yet use a self-control that can break down at any moment. We are violent, sexual beasts, but hypocritically preach peace, and claim that all evil is bad, and all good is unquestionable. There are no repercussions for the actions of people anymore. Courts have become three-ringed circuses, laws are mockery, and society slowly but surely breaks down not so much because of dissatisfaction, but for the need of more stimulation than is required. Churches of white-light gods and the Christ god have lost participation not because those believe less in a god, but because the religions are not progressing with the times. Society dictates religion, hence why we see branches of religions from other cultures popping up in the west, in disfigured forms, clambering to claim the souls of the meek and feeble who have no clue why they believe what they do. In a free society, these religions seem to be thrown around and around because they have no establishment in our world, they do not fit the times. Personal gratification is sin, yet we fulfill it, and we yearn for more, but satisfaction makes the individual happy, not demonic, and not harmful to society, it is pacification, it is happiness, and it is personal pleasure. Satanism survives in the Digital Age, because its predictions by the church founder Anton Szandor LaVey have mostly come true. With little-to-no recognition for his esteemed work on the human condition, he has single-handedly shaped the culture shock of the world in the twenty-first century. Whether through music, television, or literature, Satanism is seen in what we desire, and what we enjoy, with little-to-no acknowledgement to any white light god. Satanism is natural, while Christianity is not, and in the Digital Age with pornography more abundant than water, where more perversities are discovered and created, and digital creations like video games and YouTube videos allow us to live out fantasies or watch the most bizarre films created all in one device. Everyone is wholly connected to the Internet, his or her video game system, or television program. It is impossible disagree with these inevitable facts. So I say embrace this wave of information, deviancy, and further explore, because it is simply the next step in the human movement. Satanism is older than most religions, will outlive the white light religions. Satanism will be there for all existence, and with these and even more numerous example of deviant evidence to back-up my thesis, you will find that we will digress further. So eat, sleep, fuck, and purchase what you want and whom you choose. Make sure that no one’s freedoms are infringed upon; and that all parties are happy and satisfied. Thank you Deadly Sins, for allowing me to pursue my dreams, and never to fear speaking my mind. Hail Satan. The Age of the Digital Libertine Or For Love of The American Republic in the Age of Satan A Short Essay by Malacast Agent The Republicans once regarded as the forerunners of the free man, the civilized, secular man, now sides with the Christian majority. He joins with those who originally dared to tear him down, and rape him of his intellectuality. How sick! How depraved he has become! To side with the so-called moral values of a white-light god, one that never loved him to begin with, and would damn him just with the sexual predators he damns to castration. The Republican! Americanized by the pastors of televised nightmarish mega corporations, who once standing for the little man, he now sits comfortably next to the rich who dictate morality while they backdoor their wives. Hypocrisy is only for the rich; let the poor be the examples of decency, what fodder! We complain about our sex, our politics, and yet we try to keep the two at the same moral level, when really, we are the fundamentals of sin. When we pissed in the monarch’s face, when we blew to pieces the red coats, we started a revolution for representation and from that war, and we spawned the most intellectually free country ever to exist. We are one of the least censored countries, where even the first president was ridiculed for being a redundant ass! Our values, our so-called morals were to protect those with very little morals, and to force those who dare dictate language brigades on our homes and families arrested. For once, the libertine was to be protected by rights never before given. One could fuck, shit, eat, and read however and whatever one felt without fear of censorship. One could prostitute for personal gain, as well as pleasure, and those who sought out whores could do so with respect in a brothel, and fuck for hours without a penny of shame to their so-called immoral actions. Today, the Republican, now enriched with entitlement, over enlightenment believes he is above those who enjoy natural pleasure; he protects no one, but the cronies he has adjacently aligned himself. There is an emergence again in desires, cheap and expensive, both just as sweet. When the state dictates morale, then we are no better off with the Queen Cunt sitting on her aging, hopefully dying throne across the sea in England. Are we to kowtow like the Canadians, who still pay homage to the Diamond whore? Let one of Elizabeth’s corgis chew out her cunt, and leave her a dried up bag-of-shit body a bloody stain on the throne! Why let the monarchs we elect be as dictating as the ones who believe to be elected by Christ himself. Why suffer for a moment? Libertines, you know damn well who you are! Those who still fight for freedoms, for the arts that push the meaning of art almost to the point of excrement, and in some cases, literal excrement. We hate to believe that computers and iPhones cover up the worst of humanity, but be aware that we are indeed still in the shit piles; but now the privies are hidden under our feet, rather than tossed freely into the streets. How has the Republican gone from being the front running maniac for freedom, to the pocket change picking douche bag he is today? Why is the Conservative not a true conservative? Why is he a defiling bastard, who touches his intern, while the wife fucks the pool boy, or immigrant gardener? Yet the minority that enjoys a prick in the ass, and a snatch on the face, are considered the criminals? These once great defenders of freedom, these men and women, who once would fight off the tyrant, have now become the tyrant, and-so dictate the way we live! They pray to their white light god, and still, still they have the nerve to say we are the heathens! When the liberal hordes invaded with their politically correct nonsense, and attempted to give more power to the barons on Capital Hill, I piss on their forty thousand dollar loafers! The Liberal Republicans, with their do-good attitude would sicken the Lincolns of the past! They stand against all that makes us human, dictating from the benches in our courtrooms, and from the house of no representation. The newest trend to these fools, the Tea Party movement, does not help matters. They bitch of taxes they do not pay, and money they do not spend. They think the bedroom is sacred for only heterosexual whoring, and refuse to try out a nice, tight asshole. Being a tight sphincter is no substitute for the real thing! The Liberal Republicans, the worst oxymoron ever to exceed our ideas of bi-partisanship, are a disgrace to those who have died for our rights! While this war of political correctness keeps the majority from fucking cunts, instead, we are forced to redefine it as sexual intercourse, and when the judges dictate morality from their obsolete benches and a socialist in our darkened house peaks out to do away with every ounce of privacy, why not allow then for public executions? Mass masturbation ceremonies? Live Orgies? Why not then allow the majority to free themselves from their unnatural clothing, and fuck in broad daylight? What Democrats demand from the populous is respect, and unquestionable duty to the state. I say fuck you to neither the liberal who protects the many, nor the few. Let us allow them to spit upon Capital Hill, and lest they dictate to by the horde of masses who know, then they are twisted like the “moral majority.” The Republican cares little about prostitution, so long as it can be taxed, yet he refuses to tax those who worship the white light gods. Most want churches taxed, but they then have a say in government, I say burn them before you tax them, then again that is a waste of gasoline. I-for-one would best to shit on the altar as a statement, than to give the religious right fodder to throw about and muck up my philosophical ideals. The Digital Libertine is as free now as he has ever been! He can worship as many sexual discrepancies’ as one can endure on the simple small screen of a computer, right from his very own home! Libertines, we enjoy engaging in sex over great distances via chat rooms and web cams, and we can use Craig’s List to find a suitable whore to fuck. We can explore sexualities never invoked before through these visual stimuli. With the newest technologies, we also have the safest sex toys on the planet, as we live in an age of distaste. Some claim we are oversexed as a country; I disagree! I do not believe we have enough sex! I do not believe we have pushed the limits of our depravities! Men fuck men, women fuck women, and openly there is less digression for the same-sex coupling, but what about the heterosexuals? Are they not depraved as well? One could only hope! Onto other open-minded topics: murder, sadomasochism, and what is considered twenty-first century sodomy? Are America and its territories the new Sodom and Gomorrah? The answers to these questions follow, but first, what is the best weapon for the Digital Libertine to use against those who disagree with him? Should we label them the whore, or the pimp? The home wrecker? How about slut? Are these fair labels? I say no! For we are all endowed by the very universe itself to sexual satisfy one-another, and with as many partners as we so choose, so long as we bring no unwanted harm to the said sexual figures, used for our own personal discretion. So what tools are best used by those who dare use their white light god to discern you from doing so what Nature intends? Those who dare say to be not a sodomite, but a good-hearted white-light worshipper? It’s simple: you read to them their holy texts: from the Torah, to the Vedas, and show them exactly where these very acts of “sin” are not just seen as natural, but are praised by that said white lighter. Murder: no other so-called crime in Western society is seen worst than murder, except for maybe rape, pedophilia, or cannibalism. Yet, we seem divided on whom we kill, rather than why we kill. If a priest rapes and cuts to bit’s a singular aged alter boy, we bat not one eye at his lower extremities castrated from his very being! Yet, if a man shoots and kills an attacking teenage boy, while he is allegedly defending his neighborhood from hoodlums, then we are all demanding the shooter gets the chair, when he clearly defends himself with his own registered gun. How polarizing we are on such an issue. Are we not allowed to defend our lives from those who dare us harm? Are we not allowed to kill those who demand our death? How can any logical, fair-minded, intelligent person believe that murder is not justified? Are there not people we want to see dead, because it would make life easier, healthier for many of us? Would we not live safer if certain individuals die? I am sure many Jews would be thankful if someone shot Achmidinijad, as they did with Momar Gadafi! So are we to believe Americans cannot praise the death of tyrants and monarchs! Is it not American to see monarchs overthrown by their enslaved subjects? I would spit on Queen Elizabeth’s cunt and ravage it with the royal scepter if it were not beyond drought! I would see her drowned in the Thames if possible. Would not many agree? Are monarchs not the death of a free government? Is not liberty from political oppressors our right for being born on this very dirt? Political assassination is at times almost vital for the republic to continue, whether or not that said president of a particular party or philosophy. I believe our forefathers, the very radical terrorists they were, would demand of any true American to not only make those in government fear the power of the masses, but would demand them to shed blood at the very hint of freedom and liberty being threatened, even if it came from executing the very pigs on Capital Hill! Is not my view sound? We are expected to die for our country, but we never ask to kill the fascist pigs that are then running this country into the ground! Is it not our solemn duty to kill the politicians that threaten our country’s existence? We have let them go so-long unchecked; they no longer fear us! Be it nanny state politicians, or a neighbor that threatens your private existence, sometimes, if not most times homicide is justifiable in the eyes of the libertine. Though laws can damn those to the needle or the chair for murder, we as libertines in the digital age do have some other outlets for what would then be the pacification of our murderous intent. Video games allow are a medium to release the murderous nature we no longer excrete via hunting and killing our own food. With property given to anyone with a green card, or a pulse, we no longer have to kill or fight to fend off the property we own! That is, not as often as we would if property was unclaimed. Those who deem these outlets, such as first person shooters, and other forms of violent video games, like the fighting genre, to be dangerous to the health of a growing mind, I say they suffer with that psychological voodoo of doing what one observes. I always put more faith in the individual’s personal views, rather than the actions of others to how impressionable one may be. If I watch pornography that displays an orgy, does that mean I will automatically go to an orgy? If I then order pizza, will I have to have sex with the delivery boy every time to pay the bill? Well, not every time I suppose, but think about what one believes of sexual films, then what they then follow suit with violent films. Violent games, and violent films do not cause the mind to turn warped, and then go out to kill everything in sight, there is much more involved in the mind of the psychotic than violent film and games. More likely, the sexual abuse comes from an uncle, or a guardian, especially if the father is sexually molesting a son. If someone kills you, then you were not strong enough, or quick enough to attempt to kill them back. If they kill a family member, then go and kill them, no sane court would charge you with murder! Quit using pleasures to charge up a case against your personal pain! Sadomasochism, it is more common, more known in the households of America than the Twelve Apostles! It is a true Republican, one that believes we should then elect from the populous, rather than be ruled by kings and dictators; they are the ones who desire most sadomasochism. Why not mix pain with pleasure? Why not have a bit of all sensitivities involved in the most glorious act one could ever do as human? Our sex is the most pleasurable known of all the creatures on earth, perhaps only seconded by the dolphin and manatee. We all could benefit from a bit of pain during coitus, and maybe get a little of that natural frustration out during a time when we are at full ecstasy. Men, let your women whip your ass, let them penetrate the pain for pleasure, and enjoy the intimacies that follow. Women, let your men dominate for a while, perhaps twist and tease, which can graciously, and swiftly be returned. Let your sexual playground be full with a few scraped knees and bruised elbows as well, if they are not, then you are not enjoying the rides! Bondage, a great part of sadomasochism, is a fine way of introducing a partner to the splendorous world of domination. Whip them by their most sensitive ports, and see how lively they become in bed! A man of little excitement will act like a teenager again, and a woman of prudence will become a savage where it matters most. Whips, chains, cat o nine tails; these are medieval toys for the more adventurous libertine! Are we not allowed a bit of our primal rage to shine? Should sex not be a battle of the sexes? Are we not all dominators, and the dominated? Allow your lover to firmly press spikes bracelet like a pair of knuckles into your lower back, and tell me it is not a great feeling while aroused! Allow them to whip you, and spread you, helpless, and you will see that we are submissive creatures by play, and dominators by nature. These freedoms, these natural, though seen at times, taboo rituals are why we carry the striped banner into battle! They are why we declared freedom from England, and shit on the symbolic cuirass of the royal coat of arms! Though I could speak volumes of this subject, I am sure that most Americans are familiar with it than they are Christ, which is wondrous news to the true libertine republican! Let you be open to all pleasures, even if it at first they seem to be more similar to pain. In the age where fucking an ass is a Saturday Night special in the bed, (or more likely, a men‘s bathroom) what is considered sodomy today? The biggest sodomies still to this day are the extremes: Pedophilia, Incest, Necrophilia, and Cannibalism. Those still reading this piece, (hearing this speech) the ones not completely insulted, nor the ones that simply agree, are now questioning if I’m truly going to stand up for the likes of molesting children, fucking a sibling/parent, or even desecrating a dead body. Before you judge, I ask only an open mind, as I would then take with understanding your God, and your moral views. I am but a parchment, muddied, but clear of any engraving. Child pornography, the most obscenely terrible thing to come from the embellishment of the Internet to the private consumption of the world, is perhaps the most taboo form of sexual defamation to moral citizens. Yet, let me remind you that not so long ago, and how it is embellished in our DNA, men would lay down with young boys, and copulate, it was considered a solemn duty of both parties for a young boy to be taken under the wing of an older, trustworthy adult, who saw over their upbringing. This in-turn led to the Ancients of Greece and Rome to take heart in a tradition of sexually bringing about the maturity of young men, as it is considered a disgrace for Man sexually to interact with Woman until he was married. Sexual molestation went right together with the teachings of math and sciences. These particular training regimens were very well documented, and considered normal in everyday Greek and Roman culture. Should we then allow these actions to be taken up again in our 21st century, moral society? Should more mature, experienced women train young women in the ways of pleasure? Should adult males who too have been cultured in the same ways of sexual progress lead boys into manhood? Most Americans would say no, because it is disgusting, immoral, and anti-Christian. In most cases, they would be right, but they leave out a very important part of society today: most children already experiment with each other in the ways of sexuality, and they rightfully are allowed the freedom to explore their own sexuality, simply because it is human. We do not live in a society that suppresses teens and younglings from their sexuality, so in the traditional sense, pedophilia is not a needed part of our society, and I do not personally approve of it…does this not make me a true libertine? I feel can be a libertine without the molestation of children, as molestation is not what defines a libertine, so most will agree that I am fair on the subject. Though many so-called defined libertines will say I am a hypocrite for my stance on this subject, I assure you that my justification is correct. It is simply illogical to disagree. Let children grow and learn on their own! That is how change comes about in our society. Moving on: Incest…perhaps the second most disapproved taboo in this country. Incest has shown when it is very close to having genetic mutations and horrors that stem from the inception of the sex between brothers and sisters, first cousins, and other estranged pairings. My views on incest are very similar to the ones I have on pedophilia, in-that with population expanses, and the over-sexing of our culture, there is not a real need for urbanites, even rural cultures to sex with their relatives, since there are many non-relatives to fulfill the desires. I really do not have much to say on this topic, as it is discernable for a redneck or hick to participate in such mannerism. I personally do not see incest harming two consenting adults, but it will affect greatly the child born from out of that fiery fuck. For the sake of more terrible monstrosities coming into the gene pool, if one is to perform incest, please be kind to the rest of the civilized world as by being safe enough to use sexual protection. Those who side with the views of the Republic, the ancient libertines from before, would explicitly fornicate with their siblings and cousins, as these acts were committed for debauchery. In our modern day, there is less need, as most people are willing to fuck, and to express the enjoyments of the natural ways of fucking. To conclude, I see nothing wrong with how two consenting adults having sex, it is far too personal for me to speak of, though society might not be as forgiving as I am, so if you do choose to do this “sexual depravity”, please, and I cannot stress, nor reiterate this enough, use protection! All kinds! Now, to the last sodomies, though they are not exactly the same thing, they were coupled as the worst desecrations man could do to his fellow man: Necrophilia and Cannibalism. Let us finish first with the sexual disgusts of the moral westerner view: necrophilia. Necrophilia is by definition, the act of having sex with a corpse. Rather a broad definition, as it also means the desecration of a corpse. So if one were to say have bought a five hundred year old skull for a collection, or to pretend to be Edgar Allen Poe for sophomoric humor, they are still then labeled a heathen of necrophilia? Is this fair? I think not, since it is considered the ultimate form of taboo. For the God-fearing white lighters, the movement of the dead is the spit in the face of their cowardly god, who dare not strike down the evil doers; I suppose he ran out of gas in the Old Testament. Nevertheless, is necrophilia a form of sodomy, the worst one can do sexually to another? Let us try to see this through the mind of the libertine. The question is; is fucking a corpse the worst crime someone could commit? I would say no…I would go further to say creating the corpse is worst than sexually ravishing the corpse. You may think me mad for stating this opinion, but I never said I would personally sexually desecrate a grave. I do no believe in disrespecting the dead by desecrating a body…unless there are certain stipulations. If my lover dies, and prior to death demanded, in sound mind, and body to have me sexually desecrate the remains; I might take up the offer. Then again, in my current state at the time of this said hypothesis, I may just be too upset to be of sound mind to perform such said act! I would never say a heartsick lover should not be able to go to a graveyard, and dig up their once loving mate, and then go about making love to the said corpse. It may seem disgusting to the majority, but should we deny a saddened person one last sexual experience with a life-long love? Stipulations like these are why we lose so much time in the grieving process, which could very well pass by further with some final sexual release! This may sound disgusting, demented, but it is libertine to do so! Where in the fucking of a corpse the automatic desecration of that said corpse? If I were dead and buried, would I care if I were dug up and fucked? I would be dead! Sure, the family members of the dead may say they have a right to stop any desecration on the said plot, especially if they are paying for it, but that is a land dispute, not a moral dispute. Please, explain how fucking a corpse is worst than making a corpse. Granted if the corpse is of say a child, that may very well be the observed line drawn in the sand, but from the above example, would you really stop a torn apart lover from one last romp with their dead significant other? I would even dare say in a unique way, for a lack of a better term, it is even romantic. I would say that necrophilia is indeed a taboo, sodomy even in the twenty-first century, but here is my suggestion to the norms out there: what if you could replicate the being that died? Could a replicated body become the replacement for that sexual grieving when a lover dies? I’m sure less people would be prone to disagree with that, if it indeed could be possible. Ponder that fellow libertines, and tell me that will not be the next funeral marketing to come about in the future. Now, for the final topic: the most taboo act a human can do, in the history of man. This sodomy, though more a disgrace than sodomy, is considered the worst act a human being can do to another human. It tops everything else, but is it a justifiable taboo? You might be surprised the arguments over this topic, the debates from every single culture the world over. I’m of course talking about cannibalism. Cannibalism is of course the act of eating one’s own species for either survival, or ritual reasons. Many South American Tribes still to this day subject POWs from other tribes to this ultimate form of torture and humiliation. If you think about it, you really have to hate someone to devour their entire essence. Most believe the same way as the headhunters of Ecuador, who also still exist in small patches: if you devour the enemy, you take in that warrior spirit. Obviously if we practiced this act in the United States, we’d inherit the couch potato, apathetic spirit more often than warrior spirit, am I right? Cannibalism is the ultimate taboo, the literal eating of another human being is far from kosher, even to Kabala standards, and although most would not enjoy knowing their family member was turned into a Happy Meal, is it fairly seen as sodomy in the twenty-first century? Let us discuss: Cannibalism requires two sins to occur, the first is obviously murder, and though taking a limb for an appetizer I suppose is not technically murder, more like mauling. The second is to break cardinal sin of eating non-kosher food. Therefore, it is both a morally corrupt sin, and a spiritually corrupted sin. Two for one! So is it fair to say cannibalism has no redeeming qualities? No! It has redeeming qualities; in most cases that with population control, and solving the starvation epidemic worldwide. Sure, it is extreme, but it does sound enticing, especially to the freethinker. Again, another two-for-one deal! Do I personally agree with cannibalism? Should we be eating people? Instead of cow steaks and pig chops, should we be eating human shish kabob, and baby burgers? Sounds disgusting to most, I know, but can we sit back and say that this is indeed not part of our history? Isn’t cannibalism seen in every walk of life? From eating the hearts of the enemy, to a full on barbeque with prisoners and heretics? Look at the infamous Donner Party, and as modern as Russia during the World Wars. The unspoken history of cannibalism is as human as our desire for procreation! Most recently, just two decades before, a Japanese man murdered a Frenchwoman, and devoured her body over the course of several days. He claimed he wanted to devour her beauty, as she was to him the most beautiful woman he dared laid eyes on, yet he turned the most disgraceful of all acts into one of romance, almost art! When he was deported back to Japan, he was never arrested, and became a local celebrity, years went by, and he became a porn star in Japan, and a food critic! He is now internationally famous! He also is a food critic for Japanese restaurants! This is libertinage at its fullest extent of philosophy working in perfect definition! It also shows the hypocrisy that we are that far removed from the animals, especially in this so-called “modern world”. Let me not leave you waiting in anticipation: do I believe we should eat one another? This is one area where I with the so-called civilized people who live in a cloud of ignorance. Yes, I think cannibalism is a practice that should be far and few in-between events. I guess if one really wants to try it out, go to Cambodia, seems they live a bit freer than we here in the good ole’ USA do, and I’m sure they’ll even let you look at the stock before cooking it up on the grill. Remember libertines, there’s always a country out there that will let you attempt your most outlandish desires, but like all good things, one must always pay the whore in the morning, and nothing under this earth yet discovered is going to remove those warts. So tread cautiously with your desires, or they may become the very thing that defines you. Read, expand your mind on the teachings of other libertines, and I do not mean just skim the cliff notes like a college freshman, sit down and indulge in the teachings! Robespierre, Voltaire, De Sade, and even Kinsey’s studies are great sources of information. Most modernist writers touch on the libertine subjects, but practiced more than they preached, like Ayn Rand, who expands on the more political outlooks, rather than the sexual depravities, which she did make practice of in her everyday life. Though Ayn Rand is famous for being the forbearer of the Libertarian movement, she’s held deep in the European form of libertinage that seems to still baffle the American form, which is more observe rather than participate. Strip shows, and pornography, including cyber sex if you will, are wholly more American than European forms of debauchery and some that I myself even enjoy more fondly than say a brothel. Finally, I must say that as Americans, we are all followers of the libertinage view, and we enjoy our tits and ass with a large shake, so no one can say they are not intrigued by porn, by sex, or by debauchery. I believe that we are all the same, and enjoy our dirty romps on Saturday night at the Strip Club, than we do going to church next Sunday morning. The Digital libertine, a new-age in grotesque, a new age in immoral deviances, we are seeing the end of the theocracy that thinks it runs the world, and coming to term that we are all the freaks, while the moral majority hide their leopard spots so well. Love your fellow man, and fuck without prejudice to race, creed, commitment, or gender! Disobey the tyrant, and fight to defend the republic! Lop off the head of the monarch, and bleed her through and through, and on the day the eruption occurs, and Buckingham Palace is raided, the Queen’s head on a pike, or that of her grandchildren, I will be the first to place a bid when the crown jewels are up on eBay. The Positives of Satanism in the 21st Century Article by: Malacast Agent Many of my articles have bee about the travesties that come from our hypocritical Western world, but I fail to forget sometimes that this world is actually not such a horrid place, only how much of it we choose to be ugly, and how much we take as beauty. As a Satanist, I try my best to live a fulfilling life, even if I truly rather be mundane and empty than fulfilled. Unbelievably, I consider writing to be a form of art, even if it is critical thinking rather than allegorical prose. Therefore, I sit down and write as much as possible, even if I do not necessarily want to, and I take the criticism that comes from readers who happen across my writing through the Internet, in a newspaper, or a guest blog article. I try my best to maintain a positive attitude, and sometimes I am happy, especially if I am really honing in on my craft, and realizing a tiny bit of genius peering through a funny quip that’s more original than mainstream. Yet, the same growth can come from when I feel like absolute shit. I mean, am I only a writer? Do I have any other talents, if writing is even a talent itself? I mean, there are millions, hell billions of writers, most who can actually write complete sentences, and put my little opinion articles to shame. So am I special? I mean, opinions are sacred, because they are so complicated; it is difficult to find someone that can completely parrot everything you believe in, unless they are acting the part to get in your pants, but that is not honesty. I also question my strengths in other areas: I consider myself a well-trained writer, one that has honed a craft for years, and hope has many more years to learn to construct myself to even greater depths of enlightenment. Therefore, the question is with all the second-guessing, the yo-yo effect that comes from positive/negative thinking, how does anyone ever actually write a whole sentence, let-alone a whole article? The answer come in the form of Satanism that most Satanists are the least likely to criticize positive thinking. Positive thinking, to the uninformed, would sound like an oxymoronic trait of the Satanist. Are not all Satanists just depressed Goth chicks that are too fat to be cheerleader and inept little boys that were picked last for dodge ball? Are they not just venting against the mainstream, simply because the mainstream pissed on their parade? Why even call yourself a Satanist if you want to be a happy, productive member of society? Satanism is not about one, many, all, or none of the counter-cultures, or even the mainstream. When Satanism was introduced, it was a belief that grew out of the hypocrisy of white light religions that refuted anything sensual, enjoyable, and self-deprecating to the righteously religious. The so-called religious flocks, that would go to see strippers on Saturday night, then wake up early to hear the preacher speak of the heretics and devils that lusted after the temptation of the flesh. Satanism is not about separating from the white light religions, but blatantly point out that, they are more our kin then we are theirs, because we admit our desires, and stay out of the business of those who want to do what was originally called sin. Sin is a concept used by religions to condemn actions that are secretly enjoyed by everyone, sin suppress the nature of Man. The white lighters scream repress your urges! The Satanists scream back, loud, to never reach the limit of your urges and desires, and take responsibility, grow up, and be passionate in your lusts. Just do not complain when things do not go your way, because excess without direction is just as dangerous as never living out any desires. I’m no longer a fan of the depressive Goth/Emo movements that came about in recent years. I loved Gothic culture when it was more about counter-culture and beating the unholy fuck out of irritable jockstraps that walked around thinking everything below them was scum. Goths were not about being the whiny little bitches that shit all over themselves about life was so unfair, they were about attacking with great vindication, the mainstream that have put them down for so long. It was about being creative; it was about growing smarter, so their opposite powerhouses would be mopping kissing the feet of those they tortured for years just to make a buck as some schmuck mopping restrooms at their multinational conglomerate. The Gothic movement, although not always associated with Satanism, or Paganism of any sort, was more a counter-culture that coincided with the growth of LaVeyan Satanism. It that grew to a peak around the late eighties, becoming more mainstream from the seventies with the likes of Sammy Davis Jr., a renowned friend of Anton LaVey. Gothic culture is not necessarily synonymous with Satanism, yet it can be related by some measure, as some members of the Satanic church may have followed, or still follow the Gothic lifestyle. The Satanic movement grew stronger with the desire for more freedom, more power, and more right over one’s own life. This ebb and flow in society comes from push as generations grow older and want more free stuff, while younger generations want power and control over their destiny. These issues are as old as Monroe and Jefferson, and will be older than Suri Cruise and North West are old enough to vote on them. The point is we don’t fix whatever we break. Satanism tends to attract very talented, very motivated individuals that don’t necessarily want a handout, but they do want to be in control of their lives. They aren’t necessarily Conservatives, nor are they consistently Liberal. They do not care about any political faction, but they do not ignorantly hate without proper cause. They are intelligent in their views, and are willing to listen to the opposition. If anything, Satanists tend to be more optimistic, not because things will necessarily get better, or change drastically in their lifetime, but because they do not let the powers that be stifle their success. They do not whine and complain if funding is cut, nor do they cry when a law is unfairly passed, they make sure they survive, while others around them get caught-up in the turmoil. They remain ever vigilant, even in the face of certain destruction, because deep down, they do not give a shit about your cause, or how badly you want to bend over and take it by your favorite politician. Satanists tend to be independents, and although the independent is typically mistaken as misinformed on most policies, Satanists tend to choose the level of involvement in political and economic affairs when it affects them personally. This may sound ignorant, selfish, and against your political cause, but that is why you are not a Satanist. Satanists may not be against your cause, but that does not mean they think your way is the best way. They can rationalize, while others politicize and overzealously follow their hearts into battle, without ever second-guessing their causes. Die-hard Liberals and Conservatives refuse to believe they could ever be wrong, and when the few times they do admit to mistakes, they expect you to kowtow because they were supposedly honest. Independent Satanists live more fulfilling lives because of that independent mindset, because they don’t get caught up in heated battles between blue cronies and red cronies. They don’t care how much you fuck up the world, because they are blissfully rebellious to your stupidity. They don’t listen to you, and I’m hoping that trend starts to grow. Satanists love being ignorant of your pity party positioning for power. They don’t care if you win or lose, they don’t care which devil is the least demanding on Capital Hill, because they know that success comes from caring about the individual, and there is more power in that individual than any linked minded plot. The power does not come from the people, but from the One, the individual, and the individual will be glad to shit on your stupid cause. Does this sound negative? It’s not; negative thought is the belief that one group can overthrow another simply by baking enough cookies, or signing a petition. Change comes from extremities, and that’s because people respect the power of the individual with nothing left to lose, who is highly motivated with lots and lots of firepower at their back. Does this make change right? Of course not! Yet it always happens at the barrel of a gun, more often than at the tip of the pen. I would love more conflicts to be solved with ink than blood, but that’s not human nature. This does not mean the Satanist lies down and lets ignorance walk over him! He simply stands aside, and lets the powers that be squabble and battle, whether for their politics, or their gods, and then he reforms the pieces to his will, no-worse-for-wear. Satanism is about being happy, and it’s not necessarily about causing others harm, it’s about being satisfied with how far you’ll go, and learning to grow from your mistakes, even if they’re irreparably damaging, and all hope is lost. Knowledge is the ultimate power of the Satanist, and common sense is the secret weapon one wields to obtain such power, that is what makes a Satanist successful. No regrets, and no mercy, whether in life, at home, at work, or in competition, the Satanist seeks victory, or defiance. He does not cater to those who would burn him at the stake, nor seeks their approval, but he doesn’t whine and cry like a spoiled brat, instead, he outsmarts, outlives, and economically survives, so he shapes the future. White lighters believe their gods to have shaped the world and all its creatures in some mythical shape: the Satanist believes to have the strength, the tenacity, to shape the world in his image, and bend the weak-minded to his will. He is humble, but strikes when provoked. He is relatively peaceful, but a harbinger of destruction at wartime. He gives comfort to those worthy of it, and pays no heed to those that see charity as a sign of manipulation. Satanists are all unique, no two are alike, compared to many religious groups, this is the exception, rather than the rule. I have always compared Satanism to modern-day Taoism, and Libertarianism. Libertinism, although it seems to fit in quite handsomely with the Satanic philosophy, is not necessarily as common. Most Satanists are quite the opposite as sexual heathens. Even Dr. LaVey in the Satanic Bible speaks unkindly to those who would seek Satanism as a means for sexual obscurity and fetish, just for the sake of the fetish. Satanism is not about wanting to participate in orgies, or other fetishism, simply to participate! If your sexual energy is likened to fetishism, then let loose, but if you can only handle monogamy, that itself is your fetish! After all: one man’s fetishes, another man’s normalcy. The Satanist is not misogynistic; they respect women, and treat them as equals. Satanists also see women as a sexual being, equal to, if not greater than Man. In modern Satanism, women, if used as an alter during a Black Mass, and asked to lie naked, is more for harnessing the sexual power that she has, and what that brings to the power of the mass. The phallus is a symbol of the Black Mass (normally represented, as an object that can be easily manipulated throughout the ceremony, but at times it is a real phallus that comes into use during Black masses.) This isn’t done as a sexual power game between the sexes, but through the obscurity to turn against the typical white light mass, or covenant, and harness those once forbidden powers to the will of Satan. Satan is of course the metaphorical dark power, which contrasts the white light pagans who claim to gain their divine powers from secret spices, and herbal medicines. The Black Mass is an engrossing form of power, it causes great joy among participants, whom are a grand part of the spectacle, and help with the overacting theatrics that mock the Christian ceremony. Great gulps from a silver chalice that is supposed to be ridiculously expensive and filled with a strong elixir of ale (or whatever the priest and participants of the Mass prefer) and great gulps are to be enjoyed and slurped up in ecstasy. For a full description of the Black Mass, read the Satanic Bible by Dr. Anton Szandor LaVey. The Black Mass is one of the pros of being a Satanist, because it’s not indoctrinating, forcing its participants to undermine themselves, it welcomes them without cause of concern. It requires participation, but so does a job, a family, hell, even a concert requires you to participate, since every band from Boston to Hollywood Undead demands its audience to get up and clap their hands! Therefore, what if you have to participate, at least you control the level of how far you will go in the participation. So far, I have touched on the many positives of Satanism, to the outsider who would read this, they might think that I’m some nutcase that wants to fight some end-all-be-all war against the Christians in Armageddon. I’m not…I’m actually somewhat boring. Unless I give a rousing speech, I’m about as normal as you are, and I’m probably just about as happy, give or take a smiley face on the pain scale. I don’t hate Christians, and I certainly don’t want to see people die because of their beliefs, that would be self-defeating. I respect those who are religious, and I’m happy they have their belief, and I will optimistically hope they wish the same for me, but I’m a realist, and I know they rather me join them, because they think one more in the ranks matters. I don’t hate, I simply do not have the time to hate, nor do I discriminate people for race, creed, color, because there are plenty of other reasons to dislike, much more logical reasons to dislike people, like people that take up more than one space when they park. Remember, I do not have any particular agenda; I do not actively seek to indoctrinate people into Satanism, because I don’t care. I really don’t care if you want to become a Satanist or not, it’s not my place to make that decision. A word to the wise: if you do decide that Satanism is up your alley, do not go bragging about it, making it some fanatical quest to make everyone you love and know a Satanist, it’s very unbecoming, and defeats the purpose of the church. I would like conclude this little discussion on the positives of Satanism in the 21st century by stating that I’m proud to consider myself an individual that happens to agree with a philosophy, but I will also be one of its biggest skeptics. Nothing should be accepted holistically, and although I do not speak for the Church, which gladly will speak for itself, I do not agree with every single line they write, or word they speak. I respect their opinions, but I know as individuals that these opinions do not always reflect mine. I believe we are always yearning for the melting of winter, and the budding of Spring, but we know that sometimes it rains straight through summer, and we accept it as life. Sometimes we have a lot of shit to go through before something worthwhile happens, but we remain vigilant, positive in knowing that this life is the only life we have, and it’s worth all the pain and suffering that comes along with all the joy and comfort. Experiences of the worst and best kinds are what make us human, and they never get too overbearing that they cancel the other forever. I say be happy that you can feel pain, love, and joy, even if it is all at the same time. Never regret being alive, because the alternative is far worst. Hail Satan. Conclusion For years, I always believed that this world was too big for me, until I realized it could never be enough. The older I get the more I see the creeping shadow of Death coming towards me, and I graciously accept that I’m never going to be younger than I am right now. I will never be five years old again; I’ll never be ninety-nine years old in six months, because it is not possible. Even if they could invent a time machine, I’d still be seeing a caricature of myself moving around, animated in the past of that future, trying to move one with the present. That’s how Satanism works for me: I am a Satanist right now, and I can’t think about next year, or twenty years from now, or even eighteen years before, because that’s not me right now. I’m sure it may not matter when I’m sixty what I did today, nor what I do when I’m forty-five matters what I do tomorrow, because it’s not right now. Satanism is about the now, and dealing with the consequences/rewards of right now, and that can indeed affect tomorrow, but you’ll never be sure until the sun sets, and hopefully rises. I can never be too much a Satanist, because I’m always growing into my life. My past may help dictate my present, it’s natural, but I cannot rely on past experiences, because I am always someone different. With writing, I can look back, but what I type here will not be as important as the next, or the next, because we are constantly changing, just like ebb and flow, like the Tao of the river, like the decrepit specter of age, we must all live for the now. I have very few regrets, I will not lie, I do at times wish I could go back and change the past, but how would that help me right now? It wouldn’t, because I can only look to the present to survive. Life isn’t about wondering how much better things could be, it is about having the tenacity to survive within the confines of your reality. We are all in these prisons, and we have to struggle on, but we learn that happiness comes from doing what we love, and loving whomever we want. Never be afraid to go for what you want, Satanism or not, because you are on this Earth once, even if you believe in reincarnation, it is not this life, so live it out, make it count, and fight for what you want. If not, never regret your losses; chock it up as waiting for a better deal to come along. Just don’t wait too long, because the deals do eventually stop. My life is a fury of turmoil: vicissitudes, attention grabbing self-inflicted wounds, depression, but a false smile at every turn. I’ve overcome a great deal of shit to be as happy as I am now, and that happiness comes from other people’s respect, but mostly it comes from the like-minded individuals, and even on occasion, the opposition. I enjoy life, I enjoy all the knowledge it has to offer, and I am yearning to fill my mind with all concepts, both sound, and obscure. I love the occult, but I also admire religions and philosophies from all walks of I don’t hate for the sake of hating, I don’t hold disdain for those who would disagree with me. I’m a Satanist, but I’m not a relatively bad person. If anything, I’m a complicated individual, but if you grew to know me on a personal level, you would know I’m just an everyday guy, who just happens to have a slightly different perspective. If you’ve read the three articles mentioned in the above chapter, you’d see that Satanism is more modern American than any philosophical/religious system in the world. I love everyone that deserves my love, but I give out a great deal of respect to those who earn it, and those who think critically than oppose for the sake of opposing anything outside their comfort zone. I don’t have to plead my case, and although this is such a short book, seemingly meaningless to the outsider, you’ll understand that I’m not here to represent Satanism. Dr. LaVey does the job well enough to present this view, far greater than I could, and although he is no longer with us, his name will live on for as long as Satanism lives on, and Satanism is far from vanishing into the shadows. Everyone needs opposition; it is a part of life. We all strive to have something to stand against; it becomes our philosophical, even spiritual journey. We all believe we need to rag on one-another, and kill for the sake of belief. That has been the greatest tragedy of our species: to eliminate the differences, instead of embracing the similarities. I don’t speak for every Satanist, but I tend to believe that the majority of Satanists would not hate someone because they are different, but would rather look for what makes them the same, and acknowledge the whole individual as equals. I do not hate because of creed, race, gender, or disability. To me, everyone is equal, because no one person is greater than another, simply by birthright. I don’t believe one color of skin is superior than another. I don’t believe one set of genitals is inferior to the other, and clearly, I don’t judge you for who you sleep with, so sexual preferences are benign in my eyes. I don’t care what you are, I’m not here to damage your beliefs, I’m not here to stir any pot in the norm, because I claim that you’re the one that’s unique, not I. I’m quite boring, I don’t stir an argument unless it benefits me, and I don’t attack people, unless I’m making a point, or they attack me first. I’m passive until I’m forced to become vindictive, because I believe in defense, rather than pacifism. I face every problem with a level head, but I face them first-and-foremost, as a Satanist. Thank you for reading my short little nothing of a book, I hope it was informative, or entertaining, or, hopefully, informative and entertaining. Hail Satan. *** Church of Satan Information For more information regarding the church of Satan, I recommend going to their website: churchofsatan.org. You can also pick up several books, some of which I’ve mentioned earlier: The Satanic Bible and The Satanic Rituals by Anton Szandor LaVey; both of which explain a lot of the canon of the Church of Satan. You can also pick up The Complete Witch or The Satanic Witch, which is also written by Anton Szandor Lavey. This book explains a great history of witchcraft, in the world, and shows the beginner how to perform lesser magic. It is a great book on the history of occult, as well as a strong remark by LaVey on women’s rights in the church’s hierarchy. Throughout the Net, there are tons of resources, both free, and for purchase, on the Church of Satan. The Church of Satan does not actively search out new members to join, and has a strict policy of all its members being at least eighteen years of age. The information is there however you’d like to use it, and the information here in this short work does not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of the Church of Satan. I am not an active member of the Church of Satan, but I consider myself a philosopher of Satanism, and I will duly note that I am not a registered member of the Church of Satan (currently, but I greatly respect the beliefs of the church, and its members. However, if you would want to register in the hopes of becoming a member of the Church of Satan, you may do so on their website, where you can print and fill out a registration form. Then just mail it to the Church of Satan.) For even more information, you can listen to radiofreesatan.com, a pod cast, and digitally streaming internet radio website, that has entertaining, and educative shows dedicated to Satanic interests. Many active, and influential members of the Church of Satan hosts an array of shows on the website, and they actively interact with their core audience. These individuals, several who have been with the church since its inception, are willing to take serious questions and comments, and are extremely helpful with answering any questions you may have about the Church, but the best way to gain information on the Church of Satan, and Satanism, is to actually do your homework, and study up on the rules. I personally will not suggest you join, because I’m sure you can make up your own minds. Thank you again for your time, and I hope my story, (albeit, short story) has helped enlighten you a bit on LaVeyan Satanism. I know this short book is not enough to tell you the whole story, but I hope any speculation you had on if Satanists are killers, animal slaughterers, or actual demon worshippers are put to rest. Thanks again, and Hail Satan. *** About the Author Malacast Agent is a writer, blogger(back before it was hip), and an overall wordsmith.
