Im 21, and every damn friday my dad forces me to go down to the shitty mosque. If i dont want to go, he questions my faith and to muslims its very serious as the punishment for appostisy is death. So i dont say a word, I go, im forced to.

I want to do the dedication ritual but, knowing my situation, would father Satan be alright with me crossing my arms and bowing to this false allah every friday?

Thank you
 
It has not happened only to you. Father Satan understands and as long deep in your heart you do not mean those actions, it is fine. I personally understand too.
Hail Satan!
 
He understands, humans might not, expect that, but Satan does. If i am asked to hold hands with praying christians, rather than argue,I will, but not bow my head. He does not want martyrs like the religions do.
I do cleansing rituals and imagine blue light all over. You can find your own mental exercise to help you stay strong.
Hail Satan who teaches understanding

Its true, im over 18 and im to make my own decisions. But to muslims, theres no choice, theres only submission to this moron allah. If I wasnt to play along, thered be an absolutely voilent clash between me, my father and every single muslim who goes to that shit hole mosque, upon seeing them. So, while i believe they wouldnt kill me, ex communication a clash of closed minded ignorant opinions, and voilence is something id prefer not to confront.

Under these conditions is it ok to dedicate?

Thank you.

Cleaning your aura:

(Personally, while cleaning, I recite an affirmation in my head like "my
aura is repelling any and all negative energy" or something around those
lines)

Of course it's ok to Dedicate, Father Satan understands entirely!!
Just don't get caught ;) (I had recently read an article about muslims slaughtering xtians for not being of their faith, so for you to be a Satanist (or Iblis to them) would most likely land you in a threatening situation)
also, have you read this site by HP Zildar Raasi:http://exposingthelieofislam.wordpress.com/
It's basically the http://see_the_truth.webs.com/ for Islam. I personally know very little about islam, so her site really helped me understand the fine-print of it, so to speak
 
if you have issues with family and other people finding you out look into the jos area concerning astral temples.
i do not think you need to be dedicated to make one and in fact i think if you want you can even dedicate while your in the temple.  Also one of these i believe can be made outside of ones own living space.
DAMN i gotta do this myself some day

They are in the astral plane, not physical, so of course they are outside the living space. I had to clarify here, as I've seen a few posts where people make physical "astral temples" in their homes. Astral = astral plane.

Hail Father Satan!

Satan would not want you to put yourself in danger brother.It would seem to me,that it is not wise to let others know your true beliefs.Father understands that sometimes its not to His advantage or ours,if we put ourselves in danger,so just do what you have to to advance in private.

dedicate yes but perhaps creating an astral temple far enough away from your own dwelling and doing what ya gotta do away from home would work better for you my friend.

this is how i recommend you may want to do it in private.

yeah when i get my temple someday i efinately am certain that i would most likely want it away from where i live.  if i do manage to get it there thats fine but i would in my case think it would be easier to do it away from my own dwelling as well. 
i am dedicated but it would be nice to someday be able to make a temple for myself to do cool satanic stuff in.

Seriously, who came up with the idea that Astral Temple is actually made/built anywhere in physical world.The very name of it: ASTRAL Temple means it is constructed on Astral Plane and one need a very good concentration, visualization and memory to build it properly.Just my two cents. Hail Satan and all the true Gods!

I know! There have been people posting about how their xian parents found their astral temples, and I decided to be polite instead of asking "well if your parents can astral project, how are they still xians? Doesn't astral projection and the things you can see on the astral plane disprove some xian beliefs?"

all's i know is we do what we can and what we must to get by and if the JOS site lists it and such then i am all for it as when it comes to satanism its pretty much a case of:
"JOS showed me the way".
