Alot of you probably don't know this, but one my my hobbies (other than foruming and playing first person shooters) is to read up on and try to understand the different religions of the world. If you were to walk into my room right now, and look on my bookshelf, you would find multiple Christian bibles, a copy of the Quran, a book on roman and greece gods and mythology, and a copy of the Satanic Bible, The latter which has always stuck out the most to me.
First of all, let's get something straight. Satanists do not worship satan. It specificly states in the Satanic Bible (Which was only named that to piss off christians) that Satan is not real. Satanists are basically just athiests in that they do not worship any god or deity, but instead practice self worship. The book itself isn't even any sort of holy scripture. It's more along the lines of a collection of essays and observations.

The book is a very interesting read that promotes alot of good points and rules, most of which can be found in the 9 Satanic Sins, and the 11 Satanic rules of Earth, which I will be linking at the end of this post.
All and all I hope that you all can look past any previous misconsceptions you may have and possibly have a go at reading this. It should also be noted that I am not a Satanist, I just happen to think that the book is very interesting.
