The following was not written by me. It's adapted from unblack metal band SorrowStorm's old website (with the grammar slightly amended). It seems Philip/Felipe never got around to finishing the page before the project split up, but I wanted to share with everybody what's on the page, because it's important. The first paragraph tackles the atheistic ""satanism"", while the second paragraph seems to tackle more theistic satanism:
Statement 1-- Satan represents indulgence, instead of abstinence!
Sorrowstorm: Too vague. This does not tell me anything because it is so ambiguous. Let's see what Mr. Dictionary has to say. The word INDULGENCE means: "To yield to the desires and whims of, especially to an excessive degree." All excesses are bad. Any idiot knows this. Water is great, yet if you drink 5 gallons of it in one minute, you will die. This statement mostly applies to things which are considered sins in the Christian faith. Apparently, these people are irked with the church because it "does not let them" indulge in sodomy, for example. Hence, they are felt pressured to abstain from such practices. Their mindset is, "I want to be free and sin all I want to, and not have to be tied down to the Christian religion." Tsk Tsk Tsk, how revolutionary. There is a big mistake with this; indulgence is not only harmful and irresponsible, it's plain irrational. Sodomy, lust, greed, and hatred will not satisfy a person or do any good to anyone; they just crave these things because they are trying to fill themselves with worldly desires and not God. Sure, we as humans do make mistakes and often go to excesses, but to base a religion on such stupidity? The reason I called such a statement vague is because indulgence, when meaning "yielding to the desires of," can be a good thing. You yield to the desires of God and indulge in his presence; yet Satan has the audacity to place such a statement in the minds of humans to create Satanism!?? And abstinence; we all know what this is... and sometimes we hate it. The reality is, the laws of God were established to protect us, and not to burden us. It is a greater burden to suffer from disobeying God than to suffer because of obedience to God. LaVey, however, did not understand this. He simply decided to rebel against God, waste his life dwelling in evil ideologies, and ABSTAINED from pursuing truth. The ambiguity in this is shocking!
Statement 2-- Satan represents vital existence, instead of spiritual pipedreams!
Sorrowstorm: Let me tell you how ridiculous and childish this sounds. I cannot believe that a human being could actually believe and follow this. It is horribly written, too vague, and is completely unworthy of my review. However, for the purpose of deciphering this nonsense, I will say this: How do you get vital life from satan? How do you possibly get vital life from a CREATED being? How can satan fill you and save you? He Cannot. Satan is a perverter and imitator of God's creation. He has tried to pervert and imitate everything, even to the point of giving an EMPOWERING feeling to people who follow his ways. Does satan love you? No. The reason he gives you certain feelings and rewards is to take you away from God. He does a good job of this. The problem is..... Satan demands a VERY big payment... your soul. Not only does he want your soul... he wants to screw up your life in the end (I can attest to this! -NI), and this is why many people do not follow satanism for an extremely long time... because it is a lie, a farce, and a cheat. True vital existence and not just fleeting feelings come from the Creator. OH, and I almost forgot..... "spiritual pipedreams" means absolutely nothing to anyone, just to those who hate God without knowing who he is.
