Ex-satanist testament about magic and baby-sacrifices

[Vanlavak]

Here's a video a christian sent me:



Well that's pretty much yelling "bullshit" all over. But does anyone have a link to a good debunking, something gullible Christians can maybe be directed to, instead of just "That's wrong, end of story"?

Is there someone here who knows a bit about satanism? I'm also wondering...
Do Satanists have such a thing as "5th bride of satan"?
Do they have elements, like in her case the "element of fire"?
They're atheists, right? Is there any branch who worships an actual satan?
Have there ever been any satanists who got killed or harassed for leaving satanism, the way they do for other cults?
I'm not going to ask if they really have telekinesis, can tell demons to possess people, or sacrifice babies.

In my brief research on religion I have come across some answers to your questions.
Elements have been studied through history, most commonly there are five elements, except in the table of elements we use, of course.
Satanists believe something like satanism to be the best way to spirituality, targeting flaws and corruption is other religions as a basis for moral reasoning that their religion is true.
Satan in Satanism is like a father figure to the followers.
I have no idea as to the answers about the rest of your questions.

I hope I helped!

You DO understand that "Satanists" don't actually believe in Satan, right?

No true satanist fallacy?

I guess some of them believe in Satan.

Is Satan actually evil? Or is he more like Prometheus, trying to deliver humans from evil gods?

I try not to do too much speculating on the psychology of nonexistent beings. :lol:

I guess you have to be really careful about who you're calling a Satanist, since the Church of Satan is a bunch of atheists... and moron poseurs.

Found some info: eleven rules of satanism
1. Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
2. Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.
3. When in another's lair, show him respect or else do not go there.
4. If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
5. Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
6. Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.
7. Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.
8. Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
9. Do not harm little children.
10. Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.
11. When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.

I bet there are satanists who think the church of satan is all wrong and they're going to hell, I mean heaven, I mean hell...

It's funny how religions tend do diverge the more people follow them, it's opposite to science.
