Flu, Satanism has been around a long time. No re-invention needed.
I’ve studied it some and think in many ways I’m more in line with Atheistic Satanism (which is not devil worship), also known as LaVeyan Satanism, than I am with traditional religions.
For instance, most of the Eleven Satanic Rules resonate with me:
I think what most Christians don’t understand is that December can be almost unbearable to non-Christians. We’re accosted daily with references to Christ. I’m a live and let live type of guy so it’s fine – but when someone starts talking about Jesus they better be prepared to hear my viewpoint too.
Just this week, my wife and I were walking through the neighborhood when two males approached us handing us Jesus material. They kept pressing even when we said we were atheists. Finally when we had enough and were walking away, they said “God Bless You”, so I said “Hail Satan” in return. My wife was shocked! I had just had my fill.
And believe it or not, while I’m typing this in, guess who just came to the door! More Christians hawking their pamphlets! Unbelievable!
