THE NINE SATANIC STATEMENTS
1. Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence!
Well, that's pretty simple to understand... Does it feel good? Then do it! This mainly applies to the usage of drugs, alcohol, masturbation, etc.
2. Satan represents vital existence instead of spiritual pipe dreams!
This is probably one of the most "realistic" statements... It points out that this is the here and now, why bother HOPING you'll go to "Heaven" (Or any other kind of spiritual utopia) when our time is now, in this materialistic realm.
3. Satan represents undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit!
Undefiled wisdom being what you learn through an open, clear-headed mind and being blatantly honest. An example of Hypocritical self-deciet, would be a Christian husband, who beats his wife and kids, goes to Church to renounce his sins, only to come back home and start laying into his family once again. Thus in essense lying to himself. Hypocracy and self-deception in other words, are NOT welcomed among Satanists.
4. Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it instead of love wasted on ingrates!
Another simple one, maybe you're all familiar with, "Do unto those as you'd wish them to do unto you", this is pretty much the opposite, respect those who respect you and have proven to be worthy of one's respect.
5. Satan represents vengeance instead of turning the other cheek!
Someone gets in your way, attacks you whatever... Annihilate them in return. A code of ethics that most people tend to follow when provoked. (Even Christians)
6. Satan represents responsibility to the responsible instead of concern for psychic vampires!
Firstly, "psychic vampires" are those whom you'd classify as a waste of time/effort and so forth... They are small people who feed upon YOUR time, YOUR efforts and YOUR energy. Those whom shower you with gifts, don't say a word BUT believe that you owe them. (I hope that makes sense.) The sixth statement is basically saying that if you are the perpetrature of an event, that you MUST accept the responsibility instead of passing it along. (Think along the lines of a murderer who's defense is, "The devil made me do it." - which appeared on Dr. Phil's show a few years ago, with a 60-something year old man who molested his 6-year old granddaughter, then claimed "the Devil made him do it.")
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!
Through self-deception humans seem to have forgotten that we are indeed just animals... We may walk on two legs, we may be smart/spiritual/organized and so forth, yet we are STILL just animals... But due to the developement of our minds and understanding we are capable of being the most vicious of animals. Very true statement, only the human animal is capable of waging war, mass murder and such, animals only kill for survival but we are somewhat sadistic in killing. [/B]
8. Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!
Links along with the first statement... Anger, gluttony, lust, greed, jealousy... Shit, I forgot the other two. Would a Christian please post the Seven Deadly Sins?... I've forgotten Anyway, indulgence is the key! Not abstinence nor compulsion.
9. Satan has been the best friend the Church has ever had, as He has kept it in business all these years!
We all know this last statement is true, without the threat of brimstone and eternal damnation, the Church would be a cult instead of a world-wide religion.
