A Bible Not Borrowed from the Neighbors
Essays and Aphorisms on Egoism
edited by Kevin I. Slaughter
6×9", 164 pages, paperback, $14.95

Rev. Kevin I. Slaughter has edited and published a collection of essays and aphorisms on philosophical Egoism, a worldview that significantly overlaps with Satanic ideas in important ways. These writers, contemporaries of Ragnar Redbeard, rejected the altruism and egalitarianism in their time. Blasphemous, mocking and visceral, they are the children of Nietzsche, Stirner and Thoreau. They held no idea as sacred, and upheld themselves as the ultimate arbiters of their own fate… concepts that we Satanists know quite well.

Because the masses prefer ideas that flatter themselves over ones that disparage the sickly mob-mind, these writers are often forgotten and intentionally overlooked.

In the video above, Kevin reads a truncated version of one of the essays included in the book, from which it gets its name. Titled "The Religion of Egoism: A Prayer for More Bitterness", it was written by John Erwin McCall in 1898.

The editor believes that one of the greatest aspects of LaVey’s work is that he has provided a gateway to just this kind of reactionary and subversive thought, as opposed to the god-mongers who want all roads to lead back to their own sacred word and divine being. They create closed systems through enforced taboos against forbidden thoughts… lest their sheep begin to get too curious.
