Anton LaVey gave us all a marvelous gift in his creation of the world’s first carnal religion.

SATANISM
Satanism existed before LaVey founded the Church of Satan; he did not create it, but he did found that particular church.

Carnalism is hardly the point of his particular brand of Satanism. Any who would think otherwise should read some of his essays on the website. From a philosophical point of view they are a very interesting read.

If you were to try at all, you would find a good number of earlier religions or spiritual expressions where carnalism assumes a greater role than in the Church of Satan.

I'm thankful that Anton LaVey rendered at least one important contribution to modern man. He told all the various practitioners of the occult and soul science what they really needed to hear.

That is they were ALL getting their power from Satan, whether they acknolwedged it or not. In essense LeVay said "All you guys practicing this stuff are getting your powers from Satan. You might as well acknowledge it" (paraphrased). If a Christian had told them that they would not accept it. But a Satanist said it for us.

All those practicing science of the mind, science of the soul, New Age powers, clarivoyance, hypnotism, channeling, astrology, palm reading, Tarot Cards, Christian Science, soul force, Astral Projection, Kaballah, Voodoo,White Magic, Black Magic, necromancy, Wiccan, etc. etc. etc. and the whole realm of the occult ... they're all flirting with Satan.

That's what LeVay said. At least he was honest to that point.

I was under the impression that LaVey was an atheist.

And what is "Christian Science"?

I think the idea of Satanism is to receive service not to render it.

Christian Science is a sect of Christianity.

The one thing I do remember about them is that they believe that sickness is caused by ignorance, sin or wrong beliefs and hence if you fix those then you will be cured. Essentially - faith healing is the only healing.

Interesting fact: The Satanic Bible was dedicated to Bernadino Nogara. Bernardino Nogara (1870-1958) was financial advisor to the Vatican, appointed by Pope Pius XI. Could the Roman Catholic (Christian) church be in fact Satans church? It's also a known fact that Pope Pius XI was a freemason. Of course freemasons are Satanists. Go one step further freemasons and Illuminati are are united. And it goes on and on....

Satanism is not a white light religion; it is a religion of the flesh, the mundane, the carnal - all of which are ruled by Satan, the personification of the Left Hand Path.

carnal defined here as of a sexual or sensual nature

A Satanist knows there is nothing wrong with being greedy, as it only means that he wants more than he already has. Envy means to look with favor upon the possessions of others, and to be desirous of obtaining similar things for oneself. Envy and greed are the motivating forces of ambition - and without ambition, very little of any importance would be accomplished.

Sexuality and sensuality are ruled by Satan? Are you serious? So when a Christian has sex he is doing the work of the devil?

You're seriously deluded if you think the religion started by Lavey was the first to celebrate sex.

Anyway, his Satanism is basically a form of atheism for idiots.

After reading some of this I find an alternative name for “Christian sciences” comes to my mind; “idiots”

Google on Mary Baker Eddy for Christian Science.

another form of parapsychology with twisted biblical trappings. an american cult started in the 19th century.
