Changing Satanist beliefs from Yalngarpiril's blog

If you had asked me to describe my "Satanist" beliefs a year ago, I would have said that life is about being successful, no matter how heartless the necessary means. Nowadays, since I've become aware of human evolutionary anachronism, Satanism for me is more about happiness and the conflict between the means thereof and those of success. Now, I would say that life is about being happy, no matter how softheaded the necessary means. My old beliefs valued my genes while my new ones value the ego created by them. My old beliefs endorsed indifference while my current ones endorse passion. My choice to call these two very different beliefs "Satanist" is that they both value the self, although admittedly in very different ways. Christianity favors selflessness in the face of God and opposes selfishness as an affront to God's agenda. Satan is the archetypal antagonist, promoting selfishness in opposition to God.
