Laveyan Satanism And Sexuality.

[Moonday]

My apologies for my first post being like this, but ever since I found about Laveyan Satanism, I have had this eternal question.

I have read a lot about Laveyan Satanism in the last few month, and so for, I can understand that Laveyan Satanists are open minded, free-thinkers, logical thinkers. Would there be a problem if this 'religion' (shall the term be valid) has homosexuals, pedophiles, bisexuals inside? Let's remember that a sexual attraction is not a crime unless you rape, to put it simple. If there is no problem with this, um, "twisted" sexual attractions, I believe I would love to be part of this organization.

homosexuals, pedophiles, bisexuals; is not really a belief but a preference. pedophiles are illegal for the age group of the party as for the reasons of how dependent they are on there parents and thus perception of others at those ages. basically the normal child is so accustomed to others telling them what to do. this is why parent tell there children to not listen to strangers, except police etc. the others are adults and can make these choices on there own if they prefer men so be it if they don't care which sex so be it. christians, muzlems, hindus, etc; in all faiths these are present.

I belive that there is nothing that stops those kind of "phenomenons" in this religion (there is no other name for it) after all laveyan satanism cosiders freedom and kreativity.

They don't promote any specific kind of sex over the other. They promote freedom of sex. As in... it doesn't matter what you practice as long as it does not infringe upon the Will of the other person. It doesn't matter if you are a slut or if you get married. It also doesn't matter if you cheat on your wife or if you are a porno creep and masturbate all the time.

That what i was trying to say...

I know. Just helping you out. :)

Satanism should be taken up out of logic, not simply sexual preference, or deviance for that matter.

[Deacan Lionsbane]

Indeed, just because you prefer one orientation over another does not mean you should just 'join'.

There are a great many things to consider for this way of life, its name has a lot of stigma attached to it, though i've never really understood why, there are a great many religions out there which are far worse. CH10A is correct, use Logic when choosing something like this, afterall, if you join for the wrong reasons there could be more conciquences than one could fathom.

In relation to the Original Poster, please clarify; "If there is no problem with this, um, "twisted" sexual attractions, I believe I would love to be part of this organization."

As that reads into something far more than perhaps you thought it would, especially since you mentioned a range of classifications. Im not implying, just wondering.

The parties have to agree, no crimes against animals or children, they are revered. where in the hell do you people get your fucking info, the Enquirer?


The New York Times of course.

Firstly I've never known Laveyan Satanic practices to implicitly condemn or condone any type of sexuality. That being said in almost every corner of the civilized world pedophilia is illegal, regardless of religious practice, so if you were looking at Laveyan Satanism as a vehicle to practice pedophilia then you would be sorely disappointed and completely liable for any and all criminal charges you incur. The other two sexual practices aren't illegal or even all that deviant in this day and age. I wouldn't call them twisted at all since that is indicative of a Christian morality where heterosexuality is the only normal sexuality and if you are clinging to Christian morality in your definitions then are you really ready to accept the tenants of Laveyan Satanism as a religion or do you just want a justification for behaviors which normally would be illegal?

LaVey describes human nature and what happens naturally as being an indulgence. Think about it. Sexuality is an indulgance, and it is not frowned upon. For me, I could really care less as long as you aren't raping people or going after children. (Children and animals are to be worshipped, according to LaVey).

I'm going to add to what has already been said:
Do whatever you feel will help you live a fulfilling and enjoyable life, don't break the law were it's unnecessary, no children
