"The seven deadly sins of the Christian Church are: Greed, pride, envy, anger, gluttony, lust, and sloth. Satanism advocates indulging in each of these 'sins' as the all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification"
"The symbol of Baphomet was used by the Knights Templar to represent Satan. Through the ages this symbol has been called by many different names. Among these are: The Goat of Mendes, The Goat of a Thousand young, The Black Goat, The Judas Goat, and perhaps most appropriately, The Scapegoat.
Baphomet represents the Powers of Darkness combined with the generative fertility of the goat. In its 'pure' form the pentagram is shown encompassing the figure of a man in the five points of a star - three points up, two pointing down - symbolizing man's spiritual nature. In Satanism the pentagram is also used, but since Satanism represents the carnal instincts of man, or the opposite spiritual nature, the pentagram is inverted to perfectly accommodate the head of the goat - its horns, representing duality, thrust upward in defiance; the other three points inverted, or the trinity denied. The Hebraic figures around the outer circle of the symbol which stem for the magical teachings of the Kabala, spell out, 'Leviathan', the serpent of the watery abyss, and identified with Satan. These figures correspond to the five points of the inverted star."
"Life is the great indulgence - death, the great abstinence. Therefore, make the most of life - HERE AND NOW!"
"The Satanist realizes that man, and the action and reaction of the universe, is responsible for everything, and doesn't mislead himself into thinking that someone cares. No longer will we sit back and accept "fate" without doing anything about it, just because it says so in Chapter such and such, Psalm so and so - and that's that! The Satanist knows that praying does absolutely no good - in fact, it actually lessens the chance of success, for the devoutly religious too often sit back complacently and pray for a situation which, if they were to do something about it on their own, could be accomplished much quicker!"
"When a Satanist commits a wrong, he realizes that it is natural to make a mistake - and if he is truly sorry about what he has done, he will learn from it and take care not to do the same thing again. If he is not honestly sorry about what he has done, and knows he will do the same thing over and over, he has no business confessing and asking forgiveness in the first place. But this is exactly what happens. People confess their sins so that they can clear their consciences - and be free to go out and sin again, usually the same sin."
"The semantic meaning of Satan is the "adversary" or "opposition" or the "accuser". The very word "devil" comes from the Indian devi which means "god". Satan represents opposition to all religions which serve to frustrate and condemn man for his natural instincts. He has been given an evil role simply because he represents the carnal, earthly, and mundane aspects of life."
"Since man's natural instincts lead him to sin, all men are sinners; and all sinners go to hell. If everyone goes to hell, then you will meet all your friends there. Heaven must be populated with some rather strange creatures if all they lived for was to go to a place where they can strum harps for eternity."

"Equality supports the weak at the expense of the strong." -Anton Szandor LaVey
"The burden of originality is one that most people don't want to accept. They'd rather sit in front of the TV and let that tell them what they're supposed to like, what they're supposed to buy, and what they're supposed to laugh at. You have Beavis and Butt - Head telling you what music you're allowed to like and not like, and you've got sitcoms that have canned laughter that lets you know when to laugh if you're too stupid to know when the joke is - people are too lazy and too stupid to think for themselves because America has raised them like that." -Marilyn Manson
"I get shocked by people smoking cigarettes sometimes. I get shocked by watching talk shows. Peoples moralities are so far below what I would consider standard. SAT results should be directly linked to a death sentence. Those who don't reach a certain score would be executed." -Marilyn Manson
All credibility, all good conscience, all evidence of truth come only from the senses." - Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
"Christianity was from the beginning, essentially and fundamentally, life's nausea and disgust with life, merely concealed behind, masked by, dressed up as, faith in "another" or "better" life." - Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
"Faith: not wanting to know what is true." - Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
"Is man one of God's blunders? Or is God one of man's blunders?" -Friedrich Nietzsche

The 4 crown princes of hell:
Satan - (Hebrew) adversary, opposite, accuser, Lord of fire, the inferno, the south. Lucifer - (Roman) BRINGER OF LIGHT, ENLIGHTENMENT, THE AIR, THE MORNING STAR, THE EAST. Belial - (Hebrew) Without a master, baseness of the Earth, Independence, The north. Leviathan - (Hebrew) The serpent out of the deeps, the sea, the west.  ***All of these are the prime names of Satan. If he is so bad, why is he all of those, especially LUCIFER?? (see above)
Quotes from The Satanic Bible
No other single device has been associated with satanism as much as the black mass. To say tat the most blasphemous of all religious ceremonies is nothing more than a literary invention is certainly a statement which needs qualifying - but nothing could be truer.
The popular concept of the black mass is thus: a defroked priest stands before an altar consisting of a nude woman, her legs spread-eagled and vagina thrus open, each of her outstretched fists grasping a black candle made from the fat of unbaptized babies, abd a chalice containing the urine of a prostitute (or blood) reposing on her belly. An inverted cross hangs above the altar, and triangular hosts of ergot-laden bread or black -stained turnip are methodically blessed as the priest dutifully slips them in and out of the altar-lady's labia. Then, we're told, an invocation to Satan and various demons is followed by an array of prayers and psalms chanted backwards or interspersed with obscenities...all performed within the confines of a "protective" pentagram drawn on the floor. If the Devil appears he invariably in the form of a rather eager man wearing the general head of a black goat upon his shoulders. Then follows a potpourri of flagellation, prayer-book burning, cunnilingus, fellatio and general hindquarters kissing - all done to a background of ribald recitations from the Holy Bible, and audible expectorations on the cross! If a baby can be slaughtered during the ritual, so much the better; for as evertone knows, this is teh favorite sport of a Satanist!
If this sounds repugnant, then the success of the reports of the black mass, in keeping the devout in church, is easy to understand. No "decent" person could fail to side with the inquisitors when told of these blasphemis. The propagandists of the church did their job well, informing the public at one time or another of the heresies and heinous acts of the Pagans, Cathars, Bogomils, Templars and others who, because of their dualistic philosophies and sometimes Satanic logic, had to be eradicated.
The stories of unbaptized babies being stolen by Satanists for the use in the mass were not only effective propaganda measures, but also provided a constant source of revenue for the Church, in the form of baptism fees. no christian mother would, upon hearing these diabolical kidnappings refrain from getting her child properly baptized, poste haste.
Another facet of man's nature was apparent in the fact that the writer or artist with lewd thoughts could exercise his most obscene predilectionsin the portrayal of the activities of heretics. The censor who views all pornography so that he will know what to warn others of is the modern equivilant of the mideval chronicler of the obscene deeds of the Satanits (and, of course, their modern journalistic counterparts). It is believed that the most complete library of pronography in the world is owned by the Vatican!
The kissing of the Devil's behind during the traditional black mass is easily recognized as the forerunner of the modern term used to describe one who will, through appealing to anothers ego, gain materially from him. As all Satanic ceremonies were preformed toward very real or material goals, the oscularum inframe (or kiss of shame) was considered a symbolic requisite towards earthly, rather than spiritual, success.
The usual assumption us that the Satanic ceremony or service is allways called a black mass. A black mass is not the magical ceremony practiced by Satanists. The Satanist would only employ the use of a black mass as a form of psychodrama. Furthermore, a black mass does not necessarily imply that the performers of such are Satanists. A black mass is essentiall a parody of the religious service of the Roman Catholic Church, but can be loosely applied to a satire on any religious ceremony.
To the Satanist, the black mass, in its blaspheming of orthodox rites, is nothing more than a redundancy. The services of all established religions are actally parodies of old rituals performed by the worshippers of the earth and the flesh. In attempts to de-sexualize and de-humanize the Pagan beliefes, later men of spiritual faith whitewashed the honest meanings behind the rituals into the bland euphemisms now considered to be the "ture mass". Even if the Satanist were to spend each night perfroming a black mass, he would no more be performing a travesty than the devout churchgoer who unwillingly attends his own "black mass" - his spoof on the honest and emotionally-sound rites of Pagan antiquity.
Any ceremony considered a black mass must effectively shock and outrage, as this seems to be the measure of its success. In the Middle Ages, blaspheming the holy church was shocking. Now, however, the Church does not presnt the awsome image that it did during hte inquisition. The traditional black mass is no longer the outrageous spectacle to the dilettante or renegade priest that it once was. If the Satanist wishes to creat a ritual to blaspheme an accepted institution, for the purpose of psychodrama, he is careful to choose one that is not in vouge to parody. Thus, he is truly stepping on a sacred cow.
A black mass, today, would consist of the blaspheming of such "sacred" topics as eastern mysticism, psychiatry, the psychedelic movement, ultra-liberalism, ect. Partiotism would be championed, drugs and theur gurus would be defiled, acultural militants would be defied, and the decadence of ecclesiastical theologies might even be given a Satanic boost.
The satanic magus has allways been the catlaystfor the dichotomy necessary in mold popular beliefes, and in this case a ceremony in the nature of a black mass may serve a far-reaching magical purpose.
