RevPete's blog: "the fu Book of Life and Death"

Satanism is a practical realistic way to look at the universe. While Christians will get all lovey dovey and forgiving through the tough times, the Satanist has boundaries and says no more, and views the self as the central healthy component to religion, and yes it is selfish. Why forgive your enemies and those that spitefully use you? It makes no sense. Spending time around your enemies will only destroy you, and the Christian faith absorbs into nothingness of imagination and applies worship as a death cult, focused on annihilating the present to wait for the pearly gates to open in the after life. the Satanist sees the agenda, knows they have one, and has no problem admitting their carnal needs, not feigning to holiness by saying they are a priest of some invisible god who authorized them to be so, but by their own authority they become children of the devil.

They follow lust, they are not torn knowing sex is a healthy endeavor because sex breeds life. Sex is a biological function not equated with the loss of innocence, or the rotting soul, we are filled with vitality.  They are prideful in the self, giving themselves self-respect. They admire gluttony in all its forms, and have no problem taking pleasure, because happiness is taking pleasure in life. They see no fault with anger, because anger and love and hatred are some of the most intense fulfilling emotions of all time. Often times theraputically we are advised to affirm our anger to set boundaries, to resolve it. We admit our fuck ups, and promptly change them. And we are proactive in accomplishments. Envy motivates us to acheive, there are standards recognized in society as beautiful and ugly exist, one fits in either or inbetween. We hold a hash skeptical view of the world, not flinching and holding oursleves to standards of true respect.

We act responsibly, and we can be kind to those who deserve it, and we can be well with compassion for the just. The rotten unjust are cursed, and we take pride in liberation from creeping pestilences as dangerous to contend with as the plague! 

We've grown up from sunday school, we know the fairy tales, and we look through ancient history and the impact on christianity. We admire all that life has to offer in the mundane world, and strive to be fluid and flexible with the moment.

We are ecologically sound, killing animals only for our food and we are family safe protecting our women and children.

We are beasts and gods, striving to make differences in the world around us.
