Topic: Interesting quotes from the Satanic Bible | |
---|---|
“Whenever, therefore, a lie has built unto itself a throne, let it be assailed without pity and without regret, for under the domination of an inconvenient falsehood, no one can prosper. “
“Blessed are the valiant, for they shall obtain great treasure - Cursed are the believers in good and evil, for they are frightened by shadows!” “He that is slow to believe anything and everything is of great understanding, for belief in one false principle is the beginning of all unwisdom.” “Don’t waste your time with people who will ultimately destroy you, but concentrate instead on those who will appreciate your responsibility to them, and, likewise, feel responsible to you.” "Satan has been the best friend the Church has ever had, as He has kept it in business all these years!" "Satan represents vital existence instead of spiritual pipe dreams!" "Satan represents undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit!" "Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it instead of love wasted on ingrates!" "He who turns the other cheek is a cowardly dog." "Satan represents responsibility to the responsible instead of concern for psychic vampires!" "There is no heaven of glory bright, and no hell where sinners roast. Here and now is our day of torment! Here and now is our day of joy! Here and now is our opportunity! Choose ye this day, this hour, for no redeemer liveth!" |

Satan is the ruler of all evil a liar and a fallen angel he want us to be confused after all he is the one thrown out of heaven him and his followers and if u believe that book why not the Bible I don't believe in satanism any more or less that I believe in christianity, but I am open minded enough to see truth wherever it lies. |

Oh don't even get me started on the queeb that wrote the satanic bible....pleasee.......I will be more then happy to show once again that this is a man led by nothing more then for "HIMSELF" and he was just a rotten human being...
Yanno again putting people into a box.....I have studied much and have looked at all aspects before I became a Christian. Now once again let me clarify for me what that is. I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ......that's it...so simple....all the other is man made and just does not matter....what matters is God, Christ, and the inspired inate word of God....... |

1. "Love one another" it has been said is the supreme law, but what power made it so?
Upon what rational authority does the gospel of love rest? Why should I not hate mine enemies - if I "love" them does that not place me at their mercy? 2. Is it natural for enemies to do good unto each other - and WHAT IS GOOD? 3. Can the torn and bloody victim "love" the blood-splashed jaws that rend him limb from limb? 4. Are we not all predatory animals by instinct? If humans ceased wholly from preying upon each other, could they continue to exist? 5. Is not "lust and carnal desire" a more truthful term to describe "love" when applied to the continuance of the race? Is not the "love" of the fawning scriptures simply a euphemism for sexual activity, or was the "great teacher" a glorifier of eunuchs? 6. Love your enemies and do good to them that hate and use you - is this not the despicable philosophy of the spaniel that rolls upon its back when kicked? 7. Hate your enemies with a whole heart, and if a man smite you on one cheek, SMASH him on the other!; smite him hip and thigh, for self-preservation is the highest law! 8. He who turns the other cheek is a cowardly dog! 9. Give blow for blow, scorn for scorn, doom for doom - with compound interest liberally added thereunto! Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, aye four-fold, a hundred-fold! Make yourself a Terror to your adversary, and when he goeth his way, he will possess much additional wisdom to ruminate over. Thus shall you make yourself respected in all the walks of life, and your spirit - your immortal spirit - shall live, not in an intangible paradise, but in the brains and sinews of those whose respect you have gained. |

"IT is a popular misconception that the Satanist does not believe in God. The concept of "God", as interpreted by man, has been so varied throughout the ages, that the Satanist simply accepts the definition which suits him best. Man has always created his gods, rather than his gods creating him. God is, to some, benign - to others, terrifying. To the Satanist "God" - by whatever name he is called, or by no name at all - is seen as the balancing factor in nature, and not as being concerned with suffering. This powerful force which permeates and balances the universe is far too impersonal to care about the happiness or misery of flesh-and-blood creatures on this ball of dirt upon which we live.
Anyone who thinks of Satan as evil should consider all the men, women, children, and animals who have died because it was "God's will". Certainly a person grieving the untimely loss of a loved one whould much rather have their loved one with them than in God's hands! Instead, they are unctuously consoled by their clergyman who says, "It was God's will, my dear"; or "He is in God's hands now, my son." Such phrases have been a convenient way for religionists to condone or excuse the mercilessness of God. But if God is in complete control and as benign as he is supposed to be, why does He allow these things to happen? Too long have religionists been falling back on their bibles and rulebooks to prove or disprove, justify, condemn, or interpret. The Satanist realizes that man, and the action and reaction of the universe, is responsible for everything, and doesn't mislead himself into thinking that someone cares. No longer will we sit back and accept "fate" without doing anything about it, just because it says so in Chapter such and such, Psalm so and so - and that's that! The Satanist knows that praying does absolutely no good - in fact, it actually lessens the chance of success, for the devoutly religious too often sit back complacently and pray for a situation which, if they were to do something about it on their own, could be accomplished much quicker! The Satanist shuns terms such as "hope" and "prayer" as they are indicative of apprehension. If we hope and pray for something to come about, we will not act in a positive way which will make it happen. The Satanist, realizing that anything he gets is of his own doing, takes command of the situation instead of praying to God for it to happen. Positive thinking and positive action add up to results. Just as the Satanist does not pray to God for assistance, he does not pray for forgiveness for his wrong doings. In other religions, when one commits a wrong he either prays to God for forgiveness, or confesses to an intermediary and asks him to pray to God for forgiveness for his sins. The Satanist knows that praying does no good, confessing to another human being, like himself, accomplishes even less - and is, furthermore, degrading. When a Satanist commits a wrong, he realizes that it is natural to make a mistake - and if he is truly sorry about what he has done, he will learn from it and take care not to do the same thing again. If he is not honestly sorry about what he has done, and knows he will do the same thing over and over, he has no business confessing and asking forgiveness in the first place. But this is exactly what happens. People confess their sins so that they can clear their consciences - and be free to go out and sin again, usually the same sin." |

This might be true...but the bottom line is he took the bible and rewrote it for his needs...big big mistake.

Apparently he played the organ and would work Saturday night at the strip clubs and sunday at churchs and he kept seeing the same people and decided that our baser sides would always win out. Anton LaVey, I think he is deceased but one of his students broke away and started the Temple of Set and he was a colonel in the military and forced them to accept Satanism as a legit religion.

This might be true...but the bottom line is he took the bible and rewrote it for his needs...big big mistake. He took a fictional book that for centuries has been a force of hatred, violence, bigotry, and racism in our world and attempted to show the world how they could find freedom from its teachings. |

Several Quotes I enjoy:
In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point. Is man one of God's blunders? Or is God one of man's blunders? The best weapon against an enemy is another enemy. The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything. What does not destroy me, makes me stronger. Whoever battles with monsters had better see that it does not turn him into a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you. What if a demon were to creep after you one night, in your loneliest loneliness, and say, 'This life which you live must be lived by you once again and innumerable times more; and every pain and joy and thought and sigh must come again to you, all in the same sequence. The eternal hourglass will again and again be turned and you with it, dust of the dust!' Would you throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse that demon? Or would you answer, 'Never have I heard anything more divine'? Searchers after horror haunt strange, far places. The process of delving into the black abyss is to me the keenest form of fascination. The world is indeed comic, but the joke is on mankind. There is a beast in man that needs to be exercised, not exorcised. To be loved, feelings must be rationed. To love, the doors of hysteria, fantasy, and madness may be flung open. It’s too bad that stupidity isn’t painful. Blessed are the destroyers of false hope, for they are the true Messiahs - Cursed are the god-adorers, for they shall be shorn sheep! If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy. I find greater companionship in inert figures, animals & speechless artifacts, for I can enjoy their presence & there is no psychic drain. Don't let that little pyramid with the bright eye fool you. That's to draw your attention away from the real thing: the big trapezoid beneath it. Why should I not hate mine enemies―if I "love" them does that not place me at their mercy? You cannot love everyone; it is ridiculous to think you can. Love is one of the most intense feelings felt by man; another is hate. Forcing yourself to feel indiscriminate love is very unnatural. If you try to love everyone you only lessen your feelings for those who deserve your love. Repressed hatred can lead to many physical and emotional aliments. By learning to release your hatred towards those who deserve it, you cleanse yourself of these malignant emotions and need not take your pent-up hatred out on your loved ones. “NEVER FORGET THAT YOU ARE A WOMAN, AND THE GREATEST POWERS YOU CAN EMPLOY AS A WITCH ARE TOTALLY DEPENDENT UPON YOUR OWN SELF-REALIZATION THAT IN BEING A WOMAN YOU ARE DIFFERENT FROM A MAN AND THAT VERY DIFFERENCE MUST BE EXPLOITED! Some religions actually go so far as to label anyone who belongs to a religious sect other than their own a heretic, even though the overall doctrines and impressions of godliness are nearly the same. For example: The Catholics believe the Protestants are doomed to Hell simply because they do not belong to the Catholic Church. In the same way, many splinter groups of the Christian faith, such as the evangelical or revivalist churches, believe the Catholics worship graven images. (Christ is depicted in the image that is most physiologically akin to the individual worshipping him, and yet the Christians criticize "heathens" for the worship of graven images.) And the Jews have always been given the Devil's name. I thought, acted, and thereupon found myself removed. Satanism advocates practicing a modified form of the Golden Rule. Our interpretation of this rule is: "Do unto others as they do unto you"; because if you "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," and they, in turn, treat you badly, it goes against human nature to continue to treat them with consideration. You should do unto others as you would have them do unto you, but if your courtesy is not returned, they should be treated with the wrath they deserve. Truth" never set anyone free. It is only *doubt* which will bring mental emancipation. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to my world Involve yourself within my dream Experience a life Just like your mind thought not to be Take a look through time As past or present words to be I rule this inferno Enthroned for eternity. Coils of the serpent unwind Buried beneath you will find Deep in the halls of the damned Spirit in black till the journey's end. Spirits damned to rot Amidst the brimstone fireballs Eyes of the dead Watching from their living walls Broken glass reflections Show your flesh eaten away Beyond the gates I 'll take you Where the blood forever rains! Afterlife confessions Tell me who you used to be Looking on in wonder As I show you it was me Burning from within You know one spark is all it takes Hear the piercing cries of all Who found that hell awaits!! Living nightmare can't you see You really have no choice Faded memories haunt you Listen clearly to my voice Feed me all your hatred Empty all your thoughts to me I can fill your emptiness With immortality Welcome to my world Involve yourself within my dream Experience a life just like your mind thought not to be Take a look through time As past or present worlds to be I rule this inferno Enthroned for eternity!! --------------------------------------------------------------------- A day of death upon the cross of deceit impure with pleasure to bare witness to he death calling you to christ, human sacrifice, conviction down the unseen, your belief, absent god, don't exist go unto thou, from the dead, walk with him, he ain't there love in retreat, uncompelled, feel no pain, pray unfelt hate run in place, holy grace, contemplate, there's no god the work of jesus was the devil in fact his miracles were nothing more than a trap lies pinned upon the cross, crucify his false religion conviction, choking on the crucifix in his blood conviction, take the bullet for the love of a son conviction, from the cross into his kingdom you go conviction, no more ******** from the likes of the lord satanic visions bring the lord to his death their own disenchantment of perversions confessed caught, harrow in disgust, revel in your lost religion conviction, choking on the crucifix in his blood conviction, take the bullet for the love of a son conviction, from the cross into his kingdom you go conviction, no more ******** from the likes of the lord! |

“Whenever, therefore, a lie has built unto itself a throne, let it be assailed without pity and without regret, for under the domination of an inconvenient falsehood, no one can prosper. “ Such a hypocritical statement, I must say. “Blessed are the valiant, for they shall obtain great treasure - Cursed are the believers in good and evil, for they are frightened by shadows!” ..says who? o.O “He that is slow to believe anything and everything is of great understanding, for belief in one false principle is the beginning of all unwisdom.” ..says another religious fruitcake. “Don’t waste your time with people who will ultimately destroy you, but concentrate instead on those who will appreciate your responsibility to them, and, likewise, feel responsible to you.” ..Yes, great advice. Ignore those who could do you the most harm. Let me guess, let you'll call us cowards for "turning the other cheek", eh? "Satan has been the best friend the Church has ever had, as He has kept it in business all these years!" ..and since when are businessmen the best people to listen? Politics and war - they are both "businesses" too, ya know. "Satan represents vital existence instead of spiritual pipe dreams!" That so? According to whom? "Satan represents undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit!" MAN represents undefiled wisdom, not God. "Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it instead of love wasted on ingrates!" HAHAHA! OMG, I almost choked on my pickle. xD "He who turns the other cheek is a cowardly dog." Holy crap! I actually called this. -.- What was that about a hypocrite? "Satan represents responsibility to the responsible instead of concern for psychic vampires!" Wow that is such BS. "There is no heaven of glory bright, and no hell where sinners roast. Here and now is our day of torment! Here and now is our day of joy! Here and now is our opportunity! Choose ye this day, this hour, for no redeemer liveth!" So Satan, like God, just another "name"? Interesting he'd admit that. |

1. "Love one another" it has been said is the supreme law, but what power made it so? Upon what rational authority does the gospel of love rest? Why should I not hate mine enemies - if I "love" them does that not place me at their mercy? Hate begets hate, violence begets violence. Tis a cycle, and believing this only adds to it. We want change, not more of the same. Your type of thinking makes the world worse. It makes it the "Hell" he proclaims we now live in. 2. Is it natural for enemies to do good unto each other - and WHAT IS GOOD? If you know not, then do not speak of God nor the Devil in such terms. Makes you both the fool and hypocrite. 3. Can the torn and bloody victim "love" the blood-splashed jaws that rend him limb from limb? It has happened, yes. 4. Are we not all predatory animals by instinct? If humans ceased wholly from preying upon each other, could they continue to exist? Yes, they could easily. However, the deceptions of power and wealth would also have to be removed. Again, change is the foundation. Without it you have but cement to lay on and no roof for shelter. 5. Is not "lust and carnal desire" a more truthful term to describe "love" when applied to the continuance of the race? Is not the "love" of the fawning scriptures simply a euphemism for sexual activity, or was the "great teacher" a glorifier of eunuchs? Lust and desire - does not equal love. You want the answer, find it for yourself. Neither belief will teach you its true power. 6. Love your enemies and do good to them that hate and use you - is this not the despicable philosophy of the spaniel that rolls upon its back when kicked? Unless you know a dog that can write a historical document... 7. Hate your enemies with a whole heart, and if a man smite you on one cheek, SMASH him on the other!; smite him hip and thigh, for self-preservation is the highest law! ..and the cycle shalt never end. This frame of mind, creates the Hell. This frame of mind is why man created God, whether real or not. This frame of mind is why they also needed to create the Devil. 8. He who turns the other cheek is a cowardly dog! ..yes, because peace over war is always the cowards way. *eye roll* 9. Give blow for blow, scorn for scorn, doom for doom - with compound interest liberally added thereunto! Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, aye four-fold, a hundred-fold! Make yourself a Terror to your adversary, and when he goeth his way, he will possess much additional wisdom to ruminate over. Thus shall you make yourself respected in all the walks of life, and your spirit - your immortal spirit - shall live, not in an intangible paradise, but in the brains and sinews of those whose respect you have gained. ..and you will be crushed, alone, empty, shallow, and broken. Always searching for something, but you shalt never find it. In your eyes... I hold 50x more respect for the coward then the one who "feels" obligated to "prove" he is more, when in reality, he is actually less. |

He took a fictional book that for centuries has been a force of hatred, violence, bigotry, and racism in our world and attempted to show the world how they could find freedom from its teachings. By lying and making a profit just like they do with Christianity? How do you know its "fictional"? What "freedom"? "Hatred" from whom? "Racism" from whom? "Violence" from whom? "Bigotry" from whom? Are we speaking of Man or God now? |

This ideal is not supported by the scriptures of the bible. To receive forgiveness, one must first repent from that which they are asking forgiveness of. Matthew 4:17 17From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Luke 3:3 3And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins Luke 13:5 5I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish Acts 2:38 38Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. |

The Satanist knows that praying does absolutely no good - in fact, it actually lessens the chance of success, for the devoutly religious too often sit back complacently and pray for a situation which, if they were to do something about it on their own, could be accomplished much quicker! ..yet you "worship" Satan why? Because he "cares"? Please. You will sit back and accept "fate" because you do NOTHING to change the cycle; you ADD to it. Thus you are counter-productive to your own "concept". ..and for the record, some things are out of mortal hands. Is praying useless then? Hoping for a miracle is useless? Pointless? No, you're right, let's go out and kick someone cause they grilled you wrong. Awesome philosophy. The Satanist shuns terms such as "hope" and "prayer" as they are indicative of apprehension. If we hope and pray for something to come about, we will not act in a positive way which will make it happen. The Satanist, realizing that anything he gets is of his own doing, takes command of the situation instead of praying to God for it to happen. Positive thinking and positive action add up to results. Yes, let's all give up hope and be miserable sacks of garbage. Hope has literally structured our lives as they are now. Not all were the source or by-product of God nor prayer; but Hope itself. How can you claim to be "positive" without "hope"? Hypocrisy once again. Just as the Satanist does not pray to God for assistance, he does not pray for forgiveness for his wrong doings. In other religions, when one commits a wrong he either prays to God for forgiveness, or confesses to an intermediary and asks him to pray to God for forgiveness for his sins. The Satanist knows that praying does no good, confessing to another human being, like himself, accomplishes even less - and is, furthermore, degrading. Oh? And how would he know this, hmm? Does such not "lift" the burden of regret? Or should we all live in regret? Well, obviously, yes we should. Because misery and violence is AWESOME! When a Satanist commits a wrong, he realizes that it is natural to make a mistake - and if he is truly sorry about what he has done, he will learn from it and take care not to do the same thing again. If he is not honestly sorry about what he has done, and knows he will do the same thing over and over, he has no business confessing and asking forgiveness in the first place. But this is exactly what happens. People confess their sins so that they can clear their consciences - and be free to go out and sin again, usually the same sin." Finally, at least we agree on -- okay well only the ending half. When a Satanist commits a wrong, he realizes that it is natural to make a mistake - and if he is truly sorry about what he has done, he will learn from it and take care not to do the same thing again. If he is not honestly sorry about what he has done, and knows he will do the same thing over and over, he has no business confessing and asking forgiveness in the first place. But this is exactly what happens. People confess their sins so that they can clear their consciences - and be free to go out and sin again, usually the same sin." This ideal is not supported by the scriptures of the bible. To receive forgiveness, one must first repent from that which they are asking forgiveness of. Matthew 4:17 17From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Luke 3:3 3And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins Luke 13:5 5I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish Acts 2:38 38Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. The reasoning of the verses posted was mainly because of the following statement. People confess their sins so that they can clear their consciences - and be free to go out and sin again, usually the same sin." |
