Comments on: How come some atheists are Satanists , doesn’t that contradict with their disbelief in the unseen? http://www.unseenforum.com/unseen/how-come-some-atheists-are-satanists-doesnt-that-contradict-with-their-disbelief-in-the-unseen Fri, 06 Jan 2012 15:01:59 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Boɳɛs http://www.unseenforum.com/unseen/how-come-some-atheists-are-satanists-doesnt-that-contradict-with-their-disbelief-in-the-unseen/comment-page-1#comment-3642 Boɳɛs Sat, 27 Feb 2010 18:44:59 +0000 http://www.unseenforum.com/unseen/how-come-some-atheists-are-satanists-doesnt-that-contradict-with-their-disbelief-in-the-unseen#comment-3642 No. First of all, atheist just means that the person doesn't believe in the existence of gods. I can guarantee you that Satanists do not view Satan in the same way Christians do. Secondly in the atheistic versions of Satanism Satan is viewed as more psychological; that is the “Psychologic” viewpoint centers around Satan as being the primordial side of the human psyche which the majority of humanity seeks to control and eliminate, instead of accepting and utilizing. The Freudian id, the Jungian shadow, the “animal within” — these are perhaps the best parallels to the ‘Satanic self’ which the Psychological view of Modern Satanism desires to seek out and liberate.<br><b>References : </b><br>Former Satanist No.

Its teachings are based on individualism, self-indulgence, and "eye for an eye" morality. Unlike Theistic Satanists, LaVeyan Satanists are atheists, agnostics, and Deists who regard Satan as a symbol of man's inherent nature. According to religioustolerance.org, LaVeyan Satanism is a "small religious group that is unrelated to any other faith, and whose members feel free to satisfy their urges responsibly, exhibit kindness to their friends, and attack their enemies". Its beliefs were first detailed in The Satanic Bible and it is overseen by the Church of Satan. In other words, they see Satan as a symbol, not as a real deity, so it doesn't clash with atheism.<br><b>References : </b><br>wikipedia LaVeyan Satanism is a religion founded in 1966 by Anton Szandor LaVey.

They just use the word "Satan" to symbolise one who is ultimately centered in here and now, present life and one's desires - or something like that, I admit I'm not an expert. They don't believe in the guy with horns. Do a google search on LaVey or read the Wikipedia article on him and you'll understand. It's totally different that nutter devil worshippers who hang around graveyards.<br><b>References : </b><br> LaVeyan satanism is totally atheistic. it’s a philosophy, not a religion.
