BEST FUCKING FILM EVER! Crowley wasn't THAT crazy, but still amazing film. :) I <3 Crowley's work eeeeek <3

@Deraztic There's many others. You should look into it if you're interested. (:

[Deraztic]

@SonofSethoitae I guess. You see? That is why I stated that in the first place. The world is coming to an end.

Also, if you go through the Holy Quran; you'll find signs that have been given towards the end of the world. There are many examples but the ultimate sign is the appearance of Dajjal or the Anti-Christ. Fog-ish weather for around 40 days over every place. Boys dressing up as girls and girls dressing up as boys that is, Boys coverin' themselves up and girls uncovering themselves(Cont.)

@Deraztic La Vey was not a well adjusted individual, that's probably why :P

[Deraztic]

@Deraztic I get it. Adding to that, the reason is pretty strong too. Undeniable that is.

[Deraztic]

@SonofSethoitae Hmm... I see. Though, he did use Satan which in return gave name to the 'Satanic Bible' itself. I see why he tried to destroy the Holy books. They thought religion was outdated and not up to date with the modern times. I do not think that is right. What confuses me is, why would he include rituals and write something that was related to evil rather than the good?

Also, yes, I'm a muslim and whenever I need a reason as to why I should do what my religion wants me to,

[SonofSethoitae]

@Deraztic as well as pull in disgruntled ex members of God believing religions. He used Satan as a symbol, not a figure. "God is dead" is a cornerstone of his philosophy.

Also, your Muslim beliefs are intriguing, having never met a Muslim myself. I consider myself philosophical, without any particular religious affiliation.

[SonofSethoitae]

@Deraztic Yes, this I know. But his system did not avowedly "worship Satan" because he didn't actually believe there was one. He was most definitely an Atheist. He tried to destroy the Holy Books for the same reason Christopher Hitchens did. They were very similar in their outlooks, the difference being that Hitchens didn't much like Satan either. La Vey used the Concepts of God and Satan to shock people, (Cont.)

[Deraztic]

@Deraztic Oh and by the looks of it, I think Anton La Vey did believe there was a God but he did not like the concept of a God. If he hadn't believed in the concept of God, why would he make an attempt to ruin the Holy Book itself? He, with the help of some others if I remember correctly, changed the book.

[Deraztic]

@SonofSethoitae Anton La Vey's philosophy was itself satanic for satanists are materialistic and very fond of what they own, how much they spend and how they live. They have no care as to what the others are doing and they are indulged in extravagance; Which is not allowed in Christianity/Islam. I'm a muslim just by the way and extravagance is like givin' into satan. It's like falling into his hands for the person becomes proud and does not care for what he's been blessed with then.
