I know that there's at least one La Vey style Satanist on this forum. I've got a question. In the back of the Satanic Bible it says "Yankee Rose". What does that mean?

Is it just my imagination, or does Satanism seem a lot like Nietzscheanism only dumbed down enough to be marketable (all the cool existentalist stuff replaced with "Pay the Church of Satan more money")?

Also, how many great anime series has Satanism inspired. Christianity has inspired at least one (Neon Genesis Evangelion), but what about Satanism?

Capitalism taken to its ultimate extreme is ideal Satanism, or am I wrong? The whole self-veneration and the strong doing what they can thing.


EDIT: About Satanism - if Christian mercy is naturally weak, then how come we took over the Roman Empire and Satanism is still a tiny religion?

Nietzsche, who Le Vay ripped off of, argued that Christian values found their way into the Roman empire and that is why it fell.

Depends on the people I supposed.

Bit off topic I know, but apparently there was an anarchist journal called Lucifer.

Watch "The Devil's Advocate". Maybe the movie will tell you something.
