Philosophy of the Church of Satan - "Satanism as Weltanschauung"

[Ryan95827]

If "Satanists are born, not made" then should neuroscientists see if there is such thing as a "Satanic Gene?"

[UnderworldAmusements]

@Ryan95827 - That makes as much sense as a "gay gene", a "god gene" or even a "black gene". So, you're either deeply ignorant of the science involved, or you're being ignorantly flippant. Either way, the comment was ignorant.

[Ryan95827]

If you don't have to join the Church of Satan in order to be a Satanist, then what advantages will there be if a Satanist joins the Church of Satan?

[UnderworldAmusements]

@Ryan95827 I'm not a recruiter. That's for you to decide if you're interested.

[kirlianrose]

What a silly little man. Read the Bible again. You lose.

[UnderworldAmusements]

@kirlianrose I usually delete and ban people for such vapid and pointless comments, but I guess I'm in a mood.

So, as the state motto goes "Show Me!"

Where have I misread the bible?

You'll need to cite something specific that I said here (use the timecode HH:MM:SS) and then a specific biblical passage or legitimate commentary on the Bible that contradicts that.

Show me you're the "bigger man" than this "silly little man".

Your ball, GO!

[UnderworldAmusements]

Invariably, the people leaving the wackiest "you need to love god" comments here have 2012 Mayan Prophecy or 9/11 Conspiracy videos in their recent viewing history.

Yes, I delete those comments and block them, and yes, I look to see what kind of kook they are first.

[TrollTowelhead]

What is the implication of this "escalation" of the 'evolution' of non-African humans with neanderthals? Is the intention here that somehow this mixture results in more intelligent or superior offspring in some way? I'd understood that, rather, there may be a 'dumbing down of the species' due to the neanderthal contribution. That is, non-Africans may be inferior to Africans in a general sense. If true, this will not please those with a melanin deficiency. What do YOU want to be accurate?

[UnderworldAmusements]

@TrollTowelhead - I've yet to see anything relating to Neanderthal admixture and IQ. If you have a (legit) source on that, I'd like to read it.

[TrollTowelhead]

'Spiritual' vs. 'carnal' is a false dichotomy.

[UnderworldAmusements]

@TrollTowelhead I really don't see how this is, unless you're defining one of the two words in an unusual way.

I use the term "carnal" to refer to the physical, and the word "spiritual" to refer to the non-physical/non-material.

The former has sexual implications, the latter is often associated with rejecting the sexual (but not axiomatically, as there are obviously "spiritual" paths that involve sexuality).

[Aryachari]

I wish there were more quality videos on Satanism like this one. I think you should congratulate yourself greatly on a job well done Rev. Slaughter. I appreciated this video immensely.

[UrielDuBarry]

Awesome! :) I would enjoy Rev. Kevin Slaughter's lectures even more if I saw one or two of them where he speaks without reading from a prepared speach (I know, speaches are hard for me too, so I'd rather have it on paper beforehand).

I just noticed that the pin with the symbol on your coat was upside-down and the star was pointing upwards :)

[UnderworldAmusements]

@UrielDuBarry - the pin was aligned with the cut of the lapel, rather than the orientation to the ground, so one horn is pointing up more than normal. What annoys me is my collar being half-out. Made sure that both of these things were "correct" during my next lecture "The Great Satan".

If there's a lecture hall with a teleprompter or one of them pays me enough to both write a whole new lecture AND memorize it enough for performance, you'll get it.

[UrielDuBarry]

@UnderworldAmusements

Haha :D The thing with the collar - I noticed that even before noticing the thing about the pin :) I agree - if they didn't pay me enough to both write and memorize it, I wouldn't do it too! What I said reffered more to the fact that you're even more Slaughter-ous than you usually when you are speaking freely (in particular - the amazing way you spoke on that stupid radio show interview).

See you at the LttD forum! :)

[SATANECRONOMICUS]

I find it quite hilarious that the pop-up (to the right) next to the video is an advertisement for "Mid-America Christian University" ........Their sales pitch you ask? "A christian-based education built for your schedule"....

[lilyeve222]

A lot of religious ppl judge & accuse philosophies they've never even bothered to study.

[lilyeve222]

All the religious groups are nothing but zionist mind-control groups into the occult (warped beliefs in god, the devil, spirits).

The right-hand path control groups condemn those who can see through their lies & are our own leaders & print untrue allegations & speculation about the philosophy (for realists & athiests)

The holy bible is a book full of abuse, blood sacrifices & harmful things to obey.

Nothing in the Satanic bible states such in it's philosophy.

There is no belief in Satan.

[lilyeve222]

Satan = realisation of the human condition & natural lore, freedom & justice.

[agoat55]

I would just like to state that I find it utterly hilarious that the ad on this page is for a christian dating website

[MrPaperclip82]

@UnderworldAmusements hope 1 gets popped up, dont know if there are in dutch, i cant find any on the internet so i dont think so... shame

[MrPaperclip82]

i can find my lifestyle in al this... i d'love to read the satanic bible, but is it published in the dutch language? because reading this in my own lang. wil make me beter understand....

[UnderworldAmusements]

@MrPaperclip82 There are a number of translations of The Satanic Bible and The Satanic Scriptures, and new ones appear now and again, but I'm not sure if there is anything in the Dutch language.

[TheZero696]

I don't believe on God neither on Satan or Devil . .

What i believe is that those sh*t doesn't exist.

The way this world now is just because of us ''Humans''

People says that God created people ..

And if you Praise him and dedicate your life to him and ask for God's Protection he will protect you?

Look around People are dying in a undeserving way.

Example: In Asia Tsunami Killed 100s people (Adult,Children) what did they do to deserve that? ohh Most Asians are Catholic i think.

Thats all bye

[UnderworldAmusements]

@TheZero696 " ohh Most Asians are Catholic i think."

This one line makes me assume your entire comment is a joke.

[TheZero696]

@UnderworldAmusements

nope not really .. i mean it :)

[UnderworldAmusements]

@TheZero696 - Huh... okay, so you're just really ignorant then. And that's okay, we're all ignorant about things in the world.

Asia, a great area covering a diversity of cultures and races, is largely Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim. Catholics are a relatively small minority when Asia is taken as a whole.

I agree with your original statement that "god" does not prootect people, because no "god" exists in the sense that most people believe in him.

But it's nowhere near true that most Asians are Catholic.

[WRAITH271681]

@UnderworldAmusements I'm not defending this statement, but i was under the impression that at least in Japan, because of our western influence ie (sticking our noses where they don't belong) that the current religion choice is christianity, Shinto i believe has been replaced, but i may be totally wrong LOL

[UnderworldAmusements]

@WRAITH271681 - If we look at Wikipedia (with all caveats) it tells us "Christianity is a minority religion in Japan, with less than one percent[1][2][3] claiming Christian belief or affiliation."

[UnderworldAmusements]

@WRAITH271681 "About 70 percent of Japanese profess no religious membership, according to Johnstone, 84% of the Japanese claim no personal religion. In census questionnaires, less than 15 percent reported any formal religious affiliation by 2000. And according to Demerath, 64% do not believe in God, and 55% do not believe in Buddha. According to Edwin Reischauer, and Marius Jansen, some 70 to 80 percent ... do not consider themselves believers in any religion."

[morrisondan]

I would be rather interested to find out what sort of formal education this individual has?

[Liz4770]

Sounds interesting and something livable.

[OpenAirAtheist]

@UnderworldAmusements This is realism at it's realist, which I do not consider good or evil, but simply what is..... I have found this to be one of the most revealing videos and lectures on Satanism.

[killersushi88]

1:01:56 Who the hell cut it?! He was on a roll! I was enjoying it! WTF?

[UnderworldAmusements]

@killersushi88 1,200 views and you're the first person to point this out, it is a terrible cut and an oversight. The full line is:

"...and the shuffling hordes always think that victory over nature is just around the corner."

My only option is to re-upload the file, and therefore lose the comments and view numbers already built up. For 5 words, that's a hard call to make...

[TheTundraTerror]

@UnderworldAmusements Isn't it the Satanist who strives for perfection? I think it would be more important to have video that flows smoothly.

[UnderworldAmusements]

@TheTundraTerror Well, I'd be more than happy to recut and reupload and have the play count reset to zero when a donation is made so that it's worth it.

I don't strive for perfection because I don't believe in perfection. It would be nice if it didn't cut off there, but full refunds are available to all dissatisfied customers.

[TheTundraTerror]

@UnderworldAmusements Looking back, I find my comment rather erroneous. Seeing as the concept of perfection is rather objective, what would be perfect for one is not perfect for all.

Rather, I should of, and wish I had, said is that much of the progress that has been made could be attributed to a "universal arms race" of sorts (i.e. the need to top one another). This is what I was trying to get across, albeit in a thought out way.

[UnderworldAmusements]

@killersushi88 Added an annotation in the video for the time being.

[killersushi88]

@UnderworldAmusements If that was all that was cut out, I don't think you really need to go through the trouble. I think the annotation is all you really need. Thanks for responding too =).

[antichristeileen]

cool video

[ThePaleRavenKnightGM]

This pleases me greatly.

It will forever have a special place on my Ipod to educate those poor sorry sons of a bitches that mooch on me for long car rides. :)

[Goat777Face]

I'm ten minutes in and I'm quite enjoying this. It's good to hear some straight talking rationalism.

[thrashbmx]

rowania1.....satan might be a prince in your eyes but jesus is a kiddy fiddler!

[rowania1]

Prhill, you choose to see the world that way. satin is the prince of this world, but Jesus is the King.

[UnderworldAmusements]

@rowania1 LOLZ

[PRHILL9696]

Satanism is so different from all other religions. Probrably because it is the only one based on reality and how things really are, instead of trying to pretend that things are in a way they are not like other religions do

[LordVladimidian]

what book is he reading ?

[UnderworldAmusements]

@LordVladimidian What book is who reading? The speaker is reading from the lecture notes that are on a Kindle.
