It's too bad...
Jul. 16th, 2014 12:30 amIt's too bad that Satanists seem to be about as good at keeping a magazine about Satanism running as Discordians do, because there are a lot of things I could say about Satanism in a magazine about it. Like the fact that LaVey had no fucking clue what solipsism is and what he defined in his "solipsism" entry for the Satanic Sins is actually something called "projection."
Then, too, I think it's important to discuss adding other things to the various Satanism lists. We need to do something about how Satanism is kind of falling apart, growing stagnant in some places and not being stable enough in others. It's kind of interesting that Wicca has grown into these many different faiths, and keeps growing and getting stronger without too much infighting, but Satanism hasn't really. Satanism's growth patterns go from one extreme to another, with LaVeyan Satanism kind of cementing itself as the dogmatic "Catholicism" of Satanism, while everyone else pretty much does their own thing, with the occasional small group, just like the Discordians. Except that the Discordians don't bicker and infight as much as Satanists tend to do.
Oh yeah, and the lack of a good Goddess figure in Satanism. And proposing Medusa as a Satanic Goddess figure. Also the stupidity of the divide between atheistic and theistic Satanists.
