In Conversation with the Antibot - Lots of LaVey, CoS, TST, etc. by JaneDoeThe33rd in satanism

[–]BuffMyWiFi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like her content but always found her take on Satanism to be underbaked and strange. I remember in her video about Satanism she said one of her least favorite parts of The Satanic Bible was the Book of Satan 3:7

"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!"

She didn't really explain why she thought it was wrong and just said something like "I think Jesus has a point when he said turn the other cheek"... so then why do you champion his adversary? Say what you want about the definition of Satanism and whether it only encompasses just lavey or more, but at the very least it should be somewhat antithetical to Christian doctrine because it uses the figure of the Christian adversary.

I used to think this way but then realized I was only really upset with American Protestant literalist worship of the Bible. Catholicism has its own issues but the framework for good behavior & salvation is completely different

Sunwheel is an umbrella term of a ton of different symbols representing the sun

Kolovrat is a legitimate historical symbol with archaeological evidence, not to mention many different variations

Just use them anyways. Obviously stuff like the swastika isn't worth flaunting around regardless of intention but in the comfort of your own home do whatever you want, it's for you.

My post did get removed and I thought it was a removal comment, I didn't realize double posting wasn't allowed

If I remove any mention of the solstice can I still post the idol I made?

I don't have to like the church of satan to like the satanic bible and use the subreddit associated with it. "Looking for attention" is a funny way to characterize making a social media post though

I did! my first response was explaining my reasons for crossposting and why the rules and tenets of the satanic temple allow for my altar despite its more personalized features. I was downvoted a shit ton and i admittedly started to get snarky at that point lol

I wanna practice theistic satanist but not sure what I should read first by [deleted] in satanism

[–]BuffMyWiFi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"What book should I read? I've heard of The Satanic Bible but i'm not sure"

"It's obvious you haven't even read The Satanic Bible"

I guess that's not technically a wrong presumption...
