Greetings  Three years ago I read the Satanic Bible, and within its pages saw a mirror. Most of my life I've been an atheist, but I'd no idea my beliefs fit so perfectly with an established religion. Since then, I've researched LaVeyan thought by both experiencing life as an awakened Satanist and reading as much as possible about the Church of Satan. I've just finished The Satanic Scriptures by Peter H. Gilmore, and I'm currently reading The Satanic Witch by Anton LaVey (whenever I get a break from my studies). Though not an official member, I hope to join the Church of Satan in the very near future (the current affairs of my life take precedence over the symbolic act of joining). I've not met any self-identifying Satanists in my community, and so I hope to have many enjoyable and enlightening conversations from that viewpoint here. I am a Sagittarius, an ENTP on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, an existential nihilist, a hedonist, and an actor.

Handling and dealing with your life first is the Satanic thing to do.

Great little introduction.
It is not necessary to broadcast the doings of one's personal life. And in this short introduction you have demonstrated that you are a Satanist by nature.
Welcome to the forums.

It is a pleasure to make your virtual acquaintance, Yakkub.

“Love is one of the most intense feelings felt by man; another is hate. Forcing yourself to feel indiscriminate love is very unnatural. If you try to love everyone you only lessen your feelings for those who deserve your love. Repressed hatred can lead to many physical and emotional aliments. By learning to release your hatred towards those who deserve it, you cleanse yourself of these malignant emotions and need not take your pent-up hatred out on your loved ones.”

Welcome aboard! Wonderful introduction Yakkub! If that picture is you, I swear you look familiar. There's a twin of yours somewhere around here where I live.

Thank you. I think I'll have fun here. Hail Satan! As for a twin in Tennessee? Not that I know of! However, all things are possible.

Hm. Interesting. On another note, I love your signature/display name! Legend was one of my favourite movies growing up- I think Tim Curry's role was one of my earliest exposures to Satanic philosophy.
