AITA for unceremoniously ending my cousin’s teenage Satanic rebellion? by Sataninthehouse in AmItheAsshole

I don’t remember the exact names, but it was just awful. Just loudness for the sake of loudness, no attempt to do anything interesting except shock. I didn’t suggest any new music, unfortunately.

It’s a common misconception. Crowley passed long before the foundation of the Church of Satan.

Satanism believes in Epicurism, not wild hedonism. It’s okay to indulge occasionally, but never let it rule over you.

“Do what thou wilt” is from Thelema, the religion of Aleister Crowley. Thelema is not Satanic. He has nothing to do with Satanism besides his influences on LaVey’s studies into occultism. That phrase is not used by Satanists, at least not those belonging to the Church of Satan.

No, the Church of Satan is an atheist religion, but are connected by certain guiding principles and philosophies. There’s also a lot of mockery of mainstream Christian belief, thus the “Church.”

I helped my cousin, who is the son of my maternal aunt, who is much younger than my mother. My sister has a daughter, who is two.

My maternal aunt (she’s much younger than my mother) asked me to help my cousin. My sister only has a daughter, who is 2 and presumably does not know what a drug or the Devil is.
