Laveyan Satanist

There is one term I am damn tired of seeing and that is Laveyan Satanist or satanism. Either you are a true satanist, a person who applies the philosophy of Dr Lavey, or fraudulent charlatan, using the name satanist for fun and profit. The term Laveyan satansim implies that there is some other kind of satanism like so called “traditional satanism.” If traditional satanism exist were is its tradition who formulated it, who are the priest of this so called tradition. Usually the answer is crystal clear Christianity formulated it with their paranoia, the priest are whoever wants to call themselves that. And it is usually a bunch of pissed off Christian teens trying to get revenge on their parents for not letting them listen to some heavy metal group. It is these fools that began the Laveyan vs traditional crap. Its like saying this “we know you apostles followed Jesus and knew him but we think we have a traditional Christianity older than Christ and unlike your Christianity ours is legitimized by our lack of doctrine.” Same thing with satanism. This Religion was founded in 1966 by Dr Lavey PERIOD! It simple did not exist before then, except in the minds of fanatical Christian schizophrenics. I had the good fortune of not owning a computer when I first discovered satanism. My only source for it was the good Doctors works and that of Blanche Barton. I read all this stuff that Dr Lavey wrote and I was quite impressed but also infuriated by the fact that so many people were trying to lay claim that they were really satanist and that Dr Lavey was a fraud. I almost didn’t believe that aspect of what Dr Lavey was writing, but when I got a computer and began to search for the dreaded S word on-line my disbelief vanished. Time after time I was told that Lavey was a fraud and that this person or that person who had never been heard of before had the true satanic path. What a load of crap! If you want to do something else fine go for it but DO NOT call it satanism because it isn’t. And anyone that believes that it is…well they are a fool. I understand that in this day and age it is more convenient to read one web page and form an opinion than to do actual research and read books. But believe me you will not regret turning the computer off and reading any of Dr Lavey’s works or those of Blanche Barton, Peter H Gilmore, Matt Paradise, Michael Rose, Nemo and other TRUE Satanist. Take my advice and actually read these authors and learn about legitimate Satanism, remember “Satan doesn’t demand worship he demands study” as Dr Lavey said in the satanic rituals. Another thing that you should be aware of is that some people try to profit by making their brand of pseudo satanism cheaper than the CoS. If you are so disloyal and unhonorable that you would trade your beliefs in, and join a cheap imitation of the CoS just because you are either to lazy or cheap to pay the $200.00 dollar membership fee, then you are about as worthless and useless as they come. If you cannot afford to join then I say don’t join anything save your money and when the time is right then join. But don’t go off and join some cheap copy for a few bucks and expect anyone to give a damn. Sincerely Chris Johnson
