    It has some very interesting and Logical information...

    I have no feelings for him...

    ---------------------------------------------------------

    The Satanic Bible is a collection of essays, observations, and rituals published by Anton LaVey in 1969. It contains the core principles of the religion of LaVeyan Satanism, and is considered the foundation of its philosophy and dogma.[1] It has been described as the most important document to influence contemporary Satanism.[2] Though The Satanic Bible is not considered to be sacred scripture in the way the Christian Bible is to Christianity, LaVeyan Satanists regard it as an authoritative text[1] as it is a contemporary text that has attained for them scriptural status.[3] It extols the virtues of exploring one's own nature and instincts

  • I'm not interested. Anton LaVey really seemed to play the creepy card as if it got him more points for being badass. I don't really have anything against LaVeyan Satanism but like all religions I consider it stupid. Nobody needs religion.

    Even as a Christian I have high respect for him to follow his convictions and to create Satanism as a unique real religion which had never been done before. And I know some Satanists and have to say they are wonderful people

    He was mainly a showman and a want-to-be musician. But he was also a pioneer of sorts for religious freedom in America. With luck he may even now be in Hell at the right hand of Satan.
