Satanic Brotherhood Family,
As I sometimes sit back in a case of total thought about what I see in the Satanic community or the Satanic e-groups these days, the more I find myself in the role of Devils Advocate. There is always so much stress put on the many differences of opinion on whom or what is Satan and the correct way to express our admiration to Satan. On one hand there is a very real and total belief in Satan as a actual deity and on the other there is a total atheistic belief about Satan. Because of these two opposing views we have a total segregation in Satanism which of course is NOT healthy for the overall Satanic Community. Many argue this point with me because Satanism stands for the personal individuality of the Satanist in choosing how they wish to see Satan to be or how they see Satan not to be. A argument is NOT there if we ALL but open our eyes. Yes, Satanism IS for the individual but this is NOT what has ever been in question now has it? What has been in question is how we acknowledge Satan is to be or not to be as William Shakespeare quite aptly said it. Looking at all this with the eyes of the Devils Advocate, and truly looking at BOTH of the Horns of the dilemma here, there is certainly a thing that STRONGLY emerges. It is so simple that I sometimes have to question our very maturity as Satanists that are each of us all intelligent people that despise stupidity in others. It does not even matter if we see Satan as a actual deity or as merely a concept or symbolic figure. Satan will ALWAYS REMAIN as one thing...Something or someone that we give our direct thought to. When we do this (either way), guess what? We are giving power to this figure that both Literal and Symbolic Satanists call SATAN! Now, for my personal note as the Devils Advocate in this matter of clarification that is nothing other then SATANIC TRUTH(which is something that we can all agree upon that we are each looking for), then we are agreeing on one simple fact....that to the human mind Satan truly exists! By our very using the name Satan for this thought form that we individually perceive,in either sense, we are ALL believing in Satan and therefore Satan does EXIST! Our degree of personal faith or belief is of our own very individual choice in this matter and Satan would not want it to be another way then that. But, I hardly would imagine that Satan for all this intelligence that we each have as free and independent thinkers would want us to be disagreeing about if Satan is actual or symbolic or not. Satan, admonishes me to say but this one simple TRUTH to all that use the name Satan or call ourselves Satanists... .SATAN is a SPIRITUAL figure and therefore DOES truly exist. If this figure was CREATOR or CREATED by us is NOT what matters. By claiming the very name SATANIST we are making the statement(and there is no mistaking this truth) that we ALL believe in SATAN! It then only brings us to one real separation.. .the WISE Satanist and the FOOLISH Satanist. Ask yourself, which one do you want to be? To me, the answer is very simple, for we ALL believe in Satan.....
Ave Satanas!
Ave Yourself!
