Horacio: None of these rules were meant to be taken exactly literally, or even obeyed. They are not really rules at all in the most used sense of the word. They were meant to describe the path of the Satanist to others so it can be understood. Rule 11, as with the others, describe the mentality of the satanist. If you're in public, don't bother others, and don't tolerate others bothering you... It really sounds like common sense, but most of the worlds religions are about subjegating you, making you meek, and dumbing you down. Satanism is about empowering yourself instead of subjegating yourself, pursuing intelligence intead of dumbing you down, and radical individualism instead of herd mentality.

RobertoPiano: It is athiesm, it's just a religious athiesm, just like humanism has a secular and a religious wing.

Archaeopteryx: I think a difference can be made between use of an archetype, and actual belief in a literal diety. I think that would be the difference regarding your comment about acknolwedging a diety.

I think you mean well, Jay, but in my opinion, admittedly, as long as even an archetype remains, we are not free of religion.

I agree with archaeopteryx.

He took the words right out of my mouth

Seems childish. Just be an atheist.

I did not even know such a thing existed Horacio, but on the basis that reading it would prove a challenge to my family's religious view I have to say I would read it in front of them,people need a shake now and then !

I keep my Satanic Bible in my bedstand, along with the dagger I use to drive through the hearts of babies during our midnight rituals.

You have a bedstead? I always thought you hung from the ceiling.

So do my bed and bedstead.
