I've read some of Anton LeVay's writings just because I had some time on my hands and that topic intrests me. He had a good view of society, yet there have been many other writer's that write text book's about society, he just made it seem "simple", yet he belives directly in darkness but in logic. There's also something called "Luciferianism" which believes more in "enlightenment", I can't really elaborate on that because I hardly know much on these terms...Anyway's, he does explain what he represent's [his orginization] is based on "self-preservernse" and he states this is not a religion of "love" [mocking christain-based theme's of the love of christ that is in us] yet you go and sin as "regular" part of life because that's what the "flesh" want's to do. Also, inputting that "you cannot love everyone" like christanity states "love thy neighbor" it's like being in slave state of mind to love everyone, it just cannot happen, it's like living in a ant mound, your like a slave, no "self" thought, also he did make logically that people can flatter you with love but it's not valid, by making remark's of spending your wallet just to go to a ego "flattering" meetings that really are based on "marketing" slogan's of support. There's alot of other religion like "hollywood scientology" that requires a big budget for you to attend to get to higher level's of awareness.
- anyway's also where he talk about "selection" which gave me some insight I didnt have before about why people select other's to benefit in a relationship. I'll have to research more to put in simpler term's to undertand.
The only reason I wrote this, It just, there's two sides, there's the darkness and there's the light, [yet also there's the truth, which is from the spirit of God which is the holyspirit] I just wanted to read what the "opposite" of christain view is. It's logic, with no compassion for people, they believe the "best" in humanity, lives...[the strongest live, the weak die].
Why the religion was started was...basically [this is my opinion] it was just a "rebellion" to christainity, and directly making a new concept through the devil's name, to give people something to believe [and rebel] in. There's so much knowlage of past, stuff that states about the "universe" and "universal beings", universal concept's. Satanism is a bit "superficial" sometimes when I look at it, because it's just saying "no". Yet I can't say that because I have not studied this religion to the point where I can write a full - accurate article with a point of view.
All I do know, is the "God of Israel" who's son is Jesus Christ is a God of consuming fire, his anger is so intense, it would be not logical to "not" fear God, because his wrath, think of it..when he decides to bring all of what he created to ruins, and wipe it out, he would do it. Just his love to man through the connection of christ is what keep's sin from him [forgiveness] and his relationship with man. He lead his people out of Egypt, and he sent them in the wildness for 40 years for worshiping "nothing" [idol's]. The power's of darkness are vengence, yet God's power could wipe it out anytime he would want to destroy the devil.
All this is a point of view, not to change your's, sometimes I learn from my own writings.
