absence of God in the life of an unbeliever.
The Satanic Bible
The primary character flaws, of Lucifer, which drove his actions and cost him
his exalted position as the "Light Reflector" of God, was, lying, jealousy, greed,
hatred and lust for power. He didn't lose those failures when he lost his light and
was left in the darkness of Genesis 1:2. At that point, his greatest goal was in
tricking Adam and Eve and their descendants, the entire human race, into similar disobedience and rebellion against our Creator, God. His initial accusation
against God was lying about God, and then, twisting God's word, and calling
God the liar.... "Hath God said ye shall not eat of every tree ...." That is not
what God said. God said, "Of every tree ... thou mayest freely eat...." except
one. Then Lucifer said, in direct contradiction of God's warning that they would
die, if they disobeyed,"Ye shall not surely die...." So Satanism is lying against
God and, in turn, denying and contradicting what God Himself says in His word,
and calling God the liar besides.
Satan's twisting of God's word is both lying and calling God a liar. This is the
primary identifying characteristic of Satanism, though it may be done more
subtitle or deceptively.
To give you just one up-to-date example of Satanism, in the last 50 years, I
will direct your attention to "The Satanic Bible" published by Anton LaVey
in 1969. It contains the core principles of the religion of LaVeyan Satanism.

| “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.” "wrath"? RB― Anton Szandor LaVey, The Satanic Bible This is, of course, the opposite of what Jesus was teaching his disciples. I have heard the Golden Rule perverted to "He who has the gold rules", which is bad enough, but the perversion of Satanism is worse. It not only encourages an extreme reaction to a minor offence, but violence in response to unimportant and even unintentional rudeness. I have observed this heresy, most commonly, in prison populations and in the streets where most of those prisoners came from. You hear it so often in prisons and jails ... "I stabbed him cause he disrespected me". The victim may not have even known why he was stabbed. The attacker may have felt disrespected because the other guy looked at him wrong or mispronounced his name or some other innocuous infraction that most people would overlook or not even hear. Married couples sometimes get so angry at each other that neither can say anything at all which is not taken out of context or twisted to justify their shouting and screaming reaction . Often, the other person didn't say it wrong, the offended one hears it wrong or latches on to any little thing they can pervert. I have even seen this Satanic reaction in church members who are out of sorts with someone they don't like or disagree with. Whoever uses this method in their disagreements with others, it is wrong, and a method of Satanism. It is also commonly seen among Muslims in their dealings with those they call, "Infidels". They can lie to them, rape them, steal from them and even kill them with impunity. What it is .... is Satanism. RB Link: http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/2983296.AntonSzandorLaVey From Wikipedia: The Satanic Bible is a collection of essays, observations, and rituals published by Anton LaVey in 1969. It contains the core principles of the religion of LaVeyan Satanism, and is considered the foundation of its philosophy and dogma.[1] It has been described as the most important document to influence contemporary LaVeyan Satanism. [2] Though The Satanic Bible is not considered to be sacred scripture in the way the Christian Bible is to Christianity, LaVeyan Satanists regard it as an authoritative text[1] as it is a contemporary text that has attained for them scriptural status.[3] It extols the virtues of exploring one's own nature and instincts. Believers have been described as "atheistic Satanists"[4] because they believe that God is not an external entity, but rather something that each person creates as a projection of his or her own personality—a benevolent and stabilizing force in his or her life. [5][6] There have been thirty printings of The Satanic Bible,[7] through which it has sold over a million copies.[8] | |
