Satanism is NOT stamp

Description

It has to be said.

A lot of people seem to dwell under the very false impression that Satanism is a derivative, offshoot or reaction to xnity. The logic behind this is that xnity, like every ideology, no matter how humane and peaceful (lol, I won't even get to the absurdity of those claims), has its enemies - obscure individuals who, for some unfathomable evil reasons, do not wish to conform and obey the utterly humane and loving ways of the xtian "god". And since they apparently want to oppose said "god", quite logically they turned, instead, to its arch-enemy - Satan. That is how - as many people seem to believe - Satanism came into being in the first place.
However, that is perhaps the biggest lie in the history of Satanism. As a matter of fact though, lies are not and have never been the way of Satanism. (That is much more typical for xnity.)

But have no fear, Lapis L'Azuri is here - to elucidate it all.
Self-irony intended, yet it does not invalidate my further point.

The aforementioned logic fails in one key point - it implies that Satan is a figure that comes into being with xnity. That is simply not true. Satan Lucifer has been known since long before the idea of xnity or its predecessors have been even conceived. He has been known as a deity in many ancient pre-xtian civilizations, albeit under different names. So have many Demons. Even early on, xnity proclaims that "all the Gods of the ancient Pagan religions are Demons". You see, with that in mind, it should become quite clear that Satan hasn't been "invented" by xnity. He has been known and worshiped long before. And with that, the idea that Satanism is somehow a derivative or reaction to xnity, becomes groundless.


Countless times I have been asked, in different ways, directly and not, by people who don't really know about Satanism, how it is related to xnity. Because even as they know nothing, they already assume such a connection. Sadly however, not only outside people seem to go by that dangerous misconception. The saddest of all is that many Satanists / Luciferians do it as well. Consciously or not, many of my own brethren make their religion into what it isn't - a derivative of xnity. Either they build their beliefs as an opposition to xnity - without understanding that by doing so what they practice is reverse-xnity rather than actual Satanism; or they adopt ideas which point in the opposite direction to xnity (i.e. towards Satan), but are otherwise completely equivalent. They may do so deliberately and purposefully, or unconsciously, without realizing it at all. What they seem to almost always fail to realize is that when they employ beliefs that derive from xnity, in any way at all, they actually conform to the religion they hate and seek to oppose, and subject themselves to the very thing they consider their enemy. Why do you imprison yourselves in the chains of xnity - be it even turned upside down? Furthermore, and more important - why do you let your enemy define who you are, what you do, and even what your own Gods are like? How does it stand to reason to believe your Gods are what their very enemy portrays? It does not to me.

You're all free to believe anything you wish, of course. That's the core of Satanism - even those who don't believe Satanism is about Freedom only confirm it by believing what they believe. Yes, they do, hehe.
However, whatever you believe, ask yourselves this: Do you believe it because it feels right to you? Or do you actually believe it because it's the opposite to xnity?
Be free. It starts from inside your own minds.


Feel free to use the stamp, just :+fav: it if you do.
