What are your goals within Satanism? | Forum

Quote from FraterLuciferi I think all Satanists can agree that Satanism is about self realisation and individuality if the satanic groups look at their common root.

 I'm doing my up most to improve my life and reach my goals and gaining pretty good headway in that respect. Because as satanists success and intelligence and personal happiness IS the goal. Which is one of the reasons i chose satanism it's philosophy of live now don't wait for someone to give it to you TAKE IT because the chance/opportunity may not be there tomorrow. 

Plus the values and rules are just plain common sense as they where formed around human nature.

The weight of the claims made by theists are generally unbearable to the rational mind or empirical materialism. You'll find many vocal atheists here- but the theists are quieter. This appears to be because theism is one of the first converntions deconstructed by the LHP community and that communities elite caste.

That having been said- if you see a hole in the discourse or solidarity of your like minded fellows- you should just fill it- rather than add to the mundane diatribe. It would be refreshing to see another industrious sinisterian make a contribution.

On your second point- the one I think your best qualifies to speak to- I would state that sub beliefs are problemaic only for dogmatists. Each individual expression or manifesation of a philsophical tradition need not be categorized and labeled. In fact- it is a strength that these are held apart, suspended away from each other by their incongruence. Why?

Because; that ensures each individual thinks for themselves and aligns to the strafication assigned to them by their abilities and nature. Variabilty makes the herd mentality less contagious- in other words. In the beginning, ones vesitgal conformist conditioning compels one to seek  out a mostly adequate category to enlist into. It's important that the herd remains in chaos for the individual to overcome its former attachment to "belonging" to the other.

You will find what you seek. If you are finding isolation here- it's because you're looking for it. 

RE the OP: Networking, outreach, consortium, building the revolutionary reply to subversion ideology, putting an end to moral panics once and for all, walking the Left-Hand Path online and off, and celebrating life. learning about Satanism and becoming aware of where my Satanism is going is an adventure. I had no idea half the things which are happening would do so! I figure that the Satanic International Network will sink or swim based on the character of its moderation. Too loose or too tough and folks will flee.

Holding people to constant scrutiny is reasonable. Targetting those who are too close to the Christianity from which Satanism came is also understandable, since we can expect that there would be a constant, steady stream of those who are trying to make Satanism into the Christian character from which they departed when they weren't calling the shots.

Picking on people and harassing them is not only a sad waste of everyone's time, but demonstrates the worst aspect of reactionary movements (a kind of eddying self-mutilation on the order of snakes eating their own tails) which can be interrupted by those who care.

All Satanism that isn't self-destructive (say, by buying too heavily into the Christian lies or by self-dismantling with fascist obeisance) will assist the cause of personal development and disrupting institutional scaremongering. If it is here, great! If it is over at the Cult of Cthulhu, or the Modern Church of Satan site, or the600club, great! Have at it! The more the merrier.
