It's not just religion.

I am generally of the opinion that the more differences that exist between a pair, the less likely anything is to actually work out. More broadly, vast cultural differences will probably work against you your entire life.

I'm sure someone can post anecdotal evidence that they married an interracial Jainist albino with webbed feet and schizophrenia and they've been happily married for sixty years, but I'd still advise my good friends against such a pairing.

It's not to say that it can't work. It's to say that with something as subject to chaos and unpredictability as interpersonal relationships, vast differences between members of a contractual bond are not advisable.

You ever noticed that Christians tend to marry Christians, blacks tend to marry blacks, immigrants seek out other immigrants and form communities, and dating services exist to cater to every interest? You know why? Because it's common sense that you look for someone like yourself.

Never forget that as a Satanist you are still participating in one of the few serious cultural taboos, one of those last things that should it be made an issue, can still bring trouble your way. There's a reason why the Church of Satan and this forum hold privacy in such high regard. A very practical reason.

It's a LOT easier to trust someone when neither of you can safely play that card against the other. Every outsider faction in history has kept a tight inner circle for this reason - and since you did choose this path, take heed. Or don't complain about the results.

best said here, imo...

Does anyone remember the 9th satanic statement?

I do.

As the Magus says,

in order to be a satanist one must live by these statements.

I was 34 last year and the reverse of 34 is 43(43-34=9).

This year I'm 35 and the reverse of 35 is 53(53-35=18/1+8=9).

Next year I'll be 36 and the reverse of 36 is 63( 63-36=27/2+7=9).

Does anyone know what the 9th satanic statement is?????????

If you do know don't say what it is.

It's a Secret. Obviously the Hidden Truths are secrets to those
who have not pledged allegiance to the POWERS OF DARKNESS.

How exactly is it hidden?

"Satan has been the best friend the Church has ever had, as He has kept it in business all these years!"

Was there a point to your post?

Also, do you believe in a literal Satan?

Number 23 is everywhere, I tell ya!

A two-digit number YZ where Y=10X can be represented as 10X+Z.
The reverse number ZY is 10Z+X because 10X/10 = X.

(10X + Z) - (10Z + X) = (9X - 9Z) = 9 * (X - Z)

So, subtracting the reverse of a two-digit number from the two-digit number will always yield a multiple of 9.

There is nothing magic about 9 except that it is the final digit of a base-10 system.

The number 8 has the same properties in a base 9 system.
The number 1 has the same properties in a base 2 system.
Any number X-1 has the same properties in a base-X system.

Showing that the sums of the digits of multiples of nines until there is a single digit will yield 9 is tougher, but it appears from the following series that it could be done, as well.

0 9 18 27 36 45 54 63 72 81 90 99 108 117 ... 198 207 ...

Well I was marry for the first time with a non-Satanist, big mistake, I was coming from 12 hour of work, an there she was sitting on the couch talking on the phone and playing pogo or sims on play station, she never cook, she never clean, she didn't work at all and I found for her many job but she never went to the interview. My father died on january 26 1997, he was in florida so I have to pay to transfer him to Puerto rico, so since i was paying for the transfer, the funeral and the burial, I didn't want to go because I was spending $ 4,374 on my father alone, so I didn't have the money to go, so my little sister told me that she will pay for me because she would like all of us go to say the last good bye to him, so I said yes because it was only 3 days. So I came home and told my so called wife (ex now), she got mad at me bacause I was going to Puerto Rico, so when I came back on the 3rd day she was gone for good, she left me, an when I more needed her. From that moment I was...... HAPPY THAT I HAVE THE BED ALL BY MY SELF, I mean it was fuck up on her part but (hey) I am happy now.

Sounds like you were and are, far better off.

I know, its her lost, she's no worry to me any more, all I care is me now, I am so happy by my self for now that I am getting a Hot rod Fire storm from saxon motorcycles

My life its getting better, all I need now is a yummy independent satanist woman to ride with me.

HS

We all need that my friend, we all need that.

hi guys, I am very new at this and I am looking at this site and decided to reply to the main top because my boyfriend is a member of C.O.S and well I don't know if I am anything really but I respect his opinions and his believes and I would never expect him to change his views just because we are dating. I am interested in this myselfalthough as I say I am very new to all of this so I wont be saying much until I have read a bit more about things. [I come from Ireland, where most things are in some way assoicated to the church and I don't agree with most of the church's views in my country so I decided to come here and be more open minded about things] any ways, to be honest when he told me he joined I was and I am still supportive of him and I love the way he is so open minded to things and he is so honest which is great. So yea that's how I feel about being the girl friend of a Satanist and if I sound like an idiot I apolgize, as I said I am very new to this and to the site so I am looking up everything.

Your boyfriend, if he is a Satanist, could never change for you even if you wanted him to. We Satanists are born "this way", with "this" worldview, the philosophy put fourth in the Satanic Bible by Anton LaVey isn't something you convert to, you are either a Satanist or you are Not a Satanist. I read The Satanic Bible just some months ago and it was then that I realized I am a Satanist and always have been. Some people read the book and realize this, some people read the book and "try" to "become" a Satanist and some people read the book and nothing in it clicks for them. As I suggested before, read The Satanic Bible then come back and ask your questions.

EDIT: It should be noted that I do not speak for the Church of Satan, any opinions or thoughts expressed in this post are purely my own.

That doesn't sound like a good sign to me. How long ago did you tell her?

On a side note I am going to say this about dating non satanist. After a recent relationship I mentioned a few weeks ago in this thread crashed & burned horribly due to the girl being controlled by her maniacal baptist family/upbringing, I can say confidently I wont be touching anyone who isn't at the very least pagan or atheist. Ideally a satanist of course, but if I fell for someone of the other two I wouldn't have a problem with it.

No matter how much I might think the girl is not crazy, every time I get into a relationship with one who is even remotely religious other then the ones mentioned, I find bibles getting thrown at my head eventually.

Greetings,
I have a non Satanic girlfriend currently and a now ex wife who is very pagan. My current girlfriend is essentially atheist but her ideals are very conservative and narrow which is the complete opposite of my own. I feel this relationship will work the rest of my days if that is what I desire as she is obsessed with me and will give me anything I desire including waking her up in the middle of the night to gratify my insatiable sexual urges. The point being I have found to be a magic formula to success in the arena of relationships is presenting them and having someone on the other end be receptive to what you want and need and you promising (and following through) to fullfill their own needs in return. The key is finding someone notso engulfed in the brainwashed goop of christendom that they will not step outside it in which case your relationship is probably doomed. When someone does not take what you say seriously they do not really care about you and hence your needs and wants. Frank discussions within relationships are essential to evolve them nothing short will do.

Is this the longest thread still alive on LttD?

Just scolling down to the bottom is wearing out my mouse!

Ladies and Gentlemen.
