Many Satanists consider the United States to be the world’s first Satanic republic. Non-Satanists may be surprised to learn that this means the Church of Satan advocates secular government. This country clearly needs a reminder that true religious liberty demands rational secularism to properly accommodate divergent beliefs. Individual Satanists profess a wide range of mutually exclusive political views, but ultimately agree upon certain core principles: freedom of choice, personal responsibility, and meritocracy. In an interview on the Leonard Lopate Show, author Matthew Stewart discusses the boldly secular foundation of the United States, which is our ultimate defense against the lurking threat […]

The most believable fictional characters do not exist in a vacuum and neither do their creators. While the masses need every quote and reference spoon fed to them, the Satanist will find great satisfaction in independent research and discovery. Do directors or screenwriters need to disclose all their influences upfront, regardless if they give credit independently? That’s both impractical and unnecessarily breaks the audience’s engagement with their work. Also question demands from hypersensitive critics who believe all perspectives need to be represented equally at all times, regardless of the creative intent of the creator. —Reverend Raul Antony
In a bizarre turn of events (contorting both the law and the dictionary to their very limits), the DC Medical Examiner has ruled James Brady’s death A HOMICIDE. The reasoning being that the injuries he received 33 years ago led to his death. Um, excuse me, but if it took 33 years that’s not what killed you, James. Sure, the injuries compromised him, even changed him irrevocably. But “killed” him? I don’t think so. I didn’t see the autopsy or the report, but I find the whole idea impossible. Every one of us has a 100% mortality rate, meaning this […]
Hard to believe we’re seeing this story in good ol’ 2014, but here it is. Ah, the classics. These yarns sure do make my Jew horns ache, especially since everybody knows it’s the dang CAT-LICKS what drink blood and eat skin. —Magistra Ruth Waytz
Satan represents responsibility to the responsible—perhaps one of the reasons Satanism ought indeed be feared by Christianity and its ilk? No magic words to make personal responsibility go away (Priests and Absolution), and no vicarious human sacrifice (Jesus and Redemption), just reality and accountability. They might rightly be afraid of coming out from hiding behind the heavily embroidered frocks of their Church and taking ownership of their own actions. The warped morals of the religious right have too long been accepted as presented, in all their self-assigned sanctimony. Finally, sanity in the world is gaining momentum, and those long-standing institutions of hypocrisy and […]
A 33-year-old doctor in Africa and a 60-year-old missionary have both contracted Ebola, and both will likely die. In a made-for-tv-movie scenario, there’s ~only enough serum for one person~ so the doctor insists it go to the old lady. People are using this to illustrate how awesome and selfless the doctor is, saying that Even Now he “puts the needs of others above his own needs.” I, on the other hand, think this is a rotten stinking act of hubris. As a DOCTOR, he is far more valuable to the African people, and as such HE should get the serum. […]
During a U.S.-Africa Summit on Tuesday, President Obama called for a ban on child marriage, which is still practiced within 15 of Africa’s borders. This issue immediately calls to mind two of our Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth: "Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal,” and, "Do not harm little children.“ Since Satanism advocates only those freedoms that respect the freedoms of others, we reserve a special hatred for rape, pedophilia, and animal abuse. These forms of abuse can irreparably damage the magic of the Will, the imagination, and the capacity to evolve—especially for a younger […]
Satanists already know the true nature of Man; his deep, dark secrets are actually worn on his sleeve. A Satanist’s horns, on the other hand, are well-hidden. —Magistra Peggy Nadramia
