Missouri Passes Amendment 2

Satanism is awesome and nothing like devil-worshipping. That's Luciferism. I could absolutely dig satanism since its all about self-worth and putting your own needs above others.

Been a long time since I read LaVey's Satanic Bible, but:
- You're right in that it purports to be non-theistic: Satan doesn't exist, this is a philosophy and so on... at least, it book 1. Book 2+ are straight-up demon-summoning formulae that wouldn't feel out of place in (and are probably ripped directly from) Ars Goetia.

- It does have some decent points, and it is a lot more compatible with a modern secular mindset than monotheisms... but everything is a lot more compatible with a modern secular mindset than monotheisms.

- As a philosopher, LaVey doesn't pass muster; surrounded by brilliant minds such as Hume, Kant, Sartre or the obvious Nietzsche, he seems a dwarf.
As a result, The Satanic Bible is mostly good for a laugh.

Luciferianism is even funnier, if sometimes quite erudite; see Temple of the Black Light (Jon Nödtveidt, Dissection's vocalist/leader was a member) for instance.

The possibilities truly are endless: "my religion prohibits clothing below the waist", "my religion rejects euclidian geometry", "my religion demands I SHOUT one WORD every OTHER"...
