A materialistic system of belief based on personal freedom. Not about evil. Not even about worshipping Satan in most cases (it’s mainly ego). Satan is just the representation of breaking free from “altruism” or “having infinite love” because it won’t benefit your life.
Principles:
1. Be compassionate, but only to those, in accordance with reason (not with a higher power).
2. There is a power struggle; continue to fight for it.
3. The body is self alone, not commendable by a higher power or anyone else.
4. Respect freedom of speech, including offensive ones (eg, politics) (Also free to ignore)
5. Never to distort scientific facts to fit one's “upper” beliefs.
6. People are fallible, so correct the harm it has caused.
As shown, it has nothing to do with evil itself. About the name, Satan here is a different figure from Christian Satan, just like God has many “versions” in many different religions.
Where humans are already self-empowered, having individual power and freedom, thus the freedom to reject conformity or traditional religion, and to embrace the idea that a human is very competent to do things properly. IT’S NOT EVIL, and it’s also not what CHRISTIANITY thinks of Satan. In some ways, it’s the opposite of Christianity, but not in the way of “Opposite of good is evil” (as altruism isn’t necessarily good!!). The best way to describe it is: If Christianity is about supernatural beliefs, Satanism is about natural (things that can work on Earth) beliefs; and if in Christianity people thrive due to heavenly power, then in Satanism people thrive due to earthly (within themselves) power.
Despite its name, it is an atheistic, rationalistic philosophy without worshipping or doing evil. A symbol of individualism, carnality, and defiance against traditional beliefs. If you fail to understand it just by its name, then you have fallen and failed the satanic principle of understanding already, as he is just a personification of earthly powers. Though seriously, who gave it that name?

My Satan in hale, honored by my name, my kingdom rules, my Will be done, on Earth as
it is idealized.
I’ll give myself my daily spaghetti. And have my efforts be repaid as I
am also doing my debts. And lead me not into hell, but deliver me the
capacity to become the powerful one.
For I am the ruler of my kingdom, and I have the power, and the glory,
forever, as a man.
Look, I am partly a Satanist. My school is a Christian school. This is pretty much a direct
clash in the eyes of others (even if they don’t mind atheism, the name sounds too
scary). And altruism doesn’t work well at all with individuality, and
the main goal of the examination system ONLY (to be better
than as many people as I can, and helping others is technically a risk
of loss)
In reality, now, I have "religious" freedom. I could also say that I have certain views
towards certain countries. Most of the trouble of this comes from
misunderstandings. I can indulge in such enlightening beliefs by myself.
Yay!
One is about individual power/freedom and skepticism within the realistic world, and another is about altruism and belief in a power that brings good. I prefer the former despite its name because there is a lack of evidence of the latter, as simply put, isn’t it better within a competitive environment to focus on self-advancement? And also the presence of evil is one of the biggest counters to an All-Good God ever. Plus, individual power (studying) seems to be more effective than belief (worshipping God) when it comes to exams, so… Satanism might rule here.
All my power is human, as my biological form is of a human.
All my future power will also be of my future self, a human.
So I have human power
And by definition, (Christian) heavenly power (God’s power) I don’t
possess; otherwise it would be earthly, and never will possess, as it is
superhuman and above my limits by the definition of what only God can
possess.
So I desire the power I don't have but can obtain - i.e. human power
- i.e. satanist power. r
Satan is the symbol of the maximum potential of human agency. r
By tautology,
humans possess their own power, as heavenly power is above earth, and
humans are in the physical world. This is my proof.
One satanic principle is freedom of the human
However, schools restrict freedom
So schools violate this religion!!!
I think younger ones are indeed more wanting approval. I will deny
this for this meanie.
After even mentioning it, he was enraged.
I told him to research what Satanism (the atheistic kind) was (IF HE WANTED
TO)
If he didn’t want to, the symbolic meaning of anti-Christianity was too high.
He doesn’t have the full picture; I saw no purpose in arguing.
However, a few days later, I realized he is literally like an immature
person who just went into high school. From my observations, he assaulted two other
F. 1s with his hands. I infer that his actions are a bit too immature
and untrustworthy to listen to.
In reality, if this was an actual debate, I would have denied the argument even existed
already, as it has nothing to do with the Christian version of
Satan.
