You cannot deliberately incorporate such an evil superstitious being into your name knowing all that it represents and then complain that people do not know what you ACTUALLY represent.
I can as ignorance is no excuse. Especially since most people do know what Satanism is as it has been around since the 60s now. I mean heck programs like 20/20 and others have talked about it and know what it is as do all of the atheistic groups that work with them
If anyone cares ... There are 2 types of Satanists: theistic and atheistic.
Theistic Satanists do believe in a literal God and Satan, and choose to worship Satan.
Atheistic Satanists do NOT believe a God exists, nor do they believe a in a literal Satan.
Tired and Bad are talking about theistic Satanists. Prhill is talking about atheistic Satanists.
It's really just that simple.
ok, I am confused.
like atheist jesus followers. No literal jesus rising, but a human focal point as a central theme type thing. focusing on love, compassion, and understanding.
what do these atheist satan workshops focus on? what human interactions do they strive to be?

i don't know anything about satanism. I stopped at the name many years ago.

There are no workshops. As I said most satanists never meet another satanist as it is not needed. the few who do meet do so as they have similar interests in personally things like music or films or what ever

what do you, or they, stand for?
Living life to the fullest and free of superstition. This life is all we have as far as we know so be as happy as you can. life is in your hands as there is no god who is going to help you. I cannot go into everything Laveyan satanism is about as I would have to go into the entire satanic bible but mostly it is about what I have mentioned and about not harming anyone unless in self defense.
The Satanic Bible is about human rights and justice and science and compassion and fighting to keep religion out of places it does not belong much like the FFRF does
do you have limits on what you can do so that you do not infringe on my rights to live free?
7 Tenets of Satanism-The Satanic Temple
— One should strive to act with compassion and empathy towards all creatures in accordance with reason.
— The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
— One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
