LaVeyan is a genius- Newcomer post. Questions inside.
Hello, I've been reading the Satanic Bible and it's a great piece of work. I agree with it 100%. I also feel like it has spoke to me and it relates to me very much so.
I have a couple of questions though. Wikipedia says that High Priest Peter.H.Gilmore says "Satanists do not believe in the supernatural, in neither God nor the Devil" but you can see on a youtube video interview with LaVeyan and on the Satanic Bible that they alteast acknowledge Norse Mythology and all the other mythologies mentioned here. Doesn't mythology and rituals like the Black Mass (Along with the verses at the end of the book) Count as supernatural? I have a second question to, do they believe in Hell? That's supernatural but he goes into great detail about the Four Crown Princes of Hell and isn't that a bit supernatural? Aswell as the curses and hexes which all seems a bit stupid and I remember High Priest Pere.H.Gilmore saying that he scoffs at such things on a video I recently watched.
It would be awesome if you could clear that up. Thanks.
Edit -I noticed that the SB doesn't have a list of such things as, The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth and The Nine Satanic Sins like the list at the start of the The Nine Satanic Statements. Or maybe the Satanic sins and Rules are hinted throughout the SB?
Hail the Accuser.
