That’s what Satanism is. The end-point of the Freemasonic liberal philosophy that has plagued Western Civilisation for centuries. It all ultimately boils down to: God made me for a specific purpose, and commands me to live a certain way, but I want to indulge in the easy pleasures of the flesh, and follow my own will, instead of God’s. It’s just what Satan promised Eve in the garden: become my own God, follow my own will, create my own values.

>>22088424
correct

>>22088426
Yep, and it's a false promise. God commands us to Virtue because Virtue is freeing. Whoever sins is a slave to sin. That slut on the Satanic altar, however enticing she may seem, is a symbol of slavery. God wishes to free you from slavery, but man loves his own chains.

To be fair LeVey Satanism is a left hand path to make you reach this conclusion.

>>22088434
Exactly this. Satanism is nothing else but the bogus inversion of all values.

And this is exactly what the upside-down cross symbolizes.

None of this is true. "Freemasonic liberal philosophy that has plagued Western Civilisation for centuries" doesn't exist because there is no such thing. There is no Masonic scripture or doctrine. Feel free to prove me wrong by citing some of it and from what books or thinkers it comes. If you're a mason you have to make oaths swearing on your highest values and if your value isn't big g God then that's that. There is absolutely nothing in masonry about transcendence and being your own god. Masonic, luciferianism, et all are just vague anarchistic terms that make people go ooooh scary.

LeVay was just poking fun at dogmatic thought and living with poorly manufactured values. He had said this in almost every interview, but people see the word "Satan" and shit and piss their pants. I'm so tired of these crypto-christians whining about thrice misunderstood misunderstood New Thought garbage.

You’re completely wrong. Jews and Freemasons were some of the biggest architects in ushering in the French Revolution, in which they murdered priests and nuns and set up whores on Altars whom they worshipped as the “goddess of reason”.

The whole liberal philosophy of Church—state separation, democracy, and secularism was largely pushed by secret societies such as the Freemasons. You should read Pope Leo XIII Humanum Genus which outlines their beliefs and influence:
>Let no one be deceived by a pretense of honesty. It may seem to some that Freemasons demand nothing that is openly contrary to religion and morality; but, as the whole principle and object of the sect lies in what is vicious and criminal, to join with these men or in any way to help them cannot be lawful. — Pope Leo XIII

All the founders of liberal America were Freemasons. It’s true they believe in a “Supreme Being” which is deistic but the whole point is that all religions are the same and Reason is above all.

Their whole object was to dethrone Christ, which they successfully did by ushering in revolutions and liberalism.

They’re a secret society. When you get to the high levels the true plans are revealed. It’s just worship of the Devil.

Fuck LaVey and all that pseudo-atheo satanism noise. Also fuck the unironically religious satan-is-real-but-is-actually-good retards, and fuck the satan-is-evil-and-I-worship-him edgelords. This book shows what real satanism looks like in practice and just how prevalent it is in the higher echelons of society.

modern satanists are cringe, leveyan satanists started out as libertarians larping and they deevolved into liberals larping

>>22088927
That edgy try-hard shouldn't have called it ''The Satanic Bible'' then.

You're correct, but LaVey was suffering from the typical Jewish cult-leader bipolarity and dressing up in goat masks was what he thought was fun. The whole "becoming a deity" thing came later and was frankly more of the invention of Michael Aquino than LaVey.

So literally just Christianity then.

>If you're a mason you have to make oaths swearing on your highest values and if your value isn't big g God then that's that.
I can confirm this. I got soft-offered to become a Mason (I say "soft-offered" because they aren't allowed to invite you but they are allowed to tell you that if you ask to join that your offer will be accepted), and when I said that I was a polytheist they told me that I would have to give that up and become Christian (by which they meant Protestant) if I wanted to join. For comparison, in India, during the Raj, Hindus were only allowed to become Freemasons if they were Advaita or Dvaita Vedantins, and Zoroastrians were only allowed in if they said that Ahura Mazda was actually Yahweh as described in the Torah.

I was told that I could convert to Catholicism or Orthodoxy (I'm of Eastern European descent and the guy telling me this knew) and join DeMolay, however.
