Firstly, I do not have the intention of bashing Satanism. Currently, I am a lightly religious intellectual who seeks nothing more than as much as I can learn and happiness in this short life. As far as we can prove, this is all there is, and we might as well make our mark on it.
Secondly, I really do not want anyone trying to advocate Satanism onto me. If I find it is what I'm looking for, I shall join it of my own accord. Please, for the sake of the questions and constructivity, don't give me vague answers claiming that Father will tell you. If you cannot tell me straightforward, just tell me. In most cases it will not damper my opinions. I just want to know.
Thirdly, for the love of whatever you believe has power over you, do not bash me! I want nothing more than to know!
I am currently a part of a semi-organized sect of paganism, Norse Paganism, Asatru to be exact. I have been a member (rather a self-confirmed member as I'm in a rather severe part of the Bible Belt here, we don't even have Temples or Mosques it's so Christian.) of Asatru and associated beliefs for what's coming onto a year now, and it has kept me content. I can't say that I have had any success with the rune magic, but I have created a set of divination runes (F-U-TH-A-R-K runes that you draw lots from.) and they seem to instill power in me. I feel as if as I ask for the respective rune's power, in certain cases I am given that power. I cannot say much of the same for the Gods, however I am not one to keep up with offerings to the Earth and planet, and to the Gods as a sort of equal exchange.
(An off-note: The creation of runes does entail blooding them to seal their power in it, but then again, dedicating one's soul to Satan requires a signature of blood, so don't try to say 'Asatru is bad blah blah it's destructive because you use blood blah blah, because I won't listen. Contradictions are what I look for in an idiot's argument.)
I have experienced a great deal more fortune than when I was a Roman Catholic. Now, I do not have any sympathies as I hate the Christian foundation, but as long as its members are non-fanatical, I allow them to live happily. I admire the people who can live in ignorance and bliss, who can live knowing that they will ascend to somewhere they can live. I commend the priests and Christian Clergy for doing such a thing that they grant billions of people solace in an otherwise turbulent world, with little-to-no hope of survival.
(Second off-note: Again, I do not sympathize, as if I did, I would still be a Christan, wouldn't I? I will not refer to them as Xtians, or anything of that like, for they have done good things. They do feed the poor, among other things. The list of good is far outweighed by their history of horrors and such, but that is only normal. I respect them as being able to grant so many people happiness that I seem unable to achieve. I fear that there is no consciousness after death, that it all ends. I often fear that there is no hope, no reason for existence, but then I try to rationalize the beginning of existence, and it gives me a glimmer of hope. If the Big Bang caused the creation of the universe and all that exists, where did the singularity that the universe come from originate? If the universe is all that exists, what existed around that singularity before its expansion? See what I mean? Something had to have been there in the very beginning to rationalize the feasibility of all of this.)
Now, the runes have given me some success, the Gods less so, probably because I don't offer them something in return often enough.
My first question is, what is the Satanist Community's views on other religions? Is Asatru also considered a destructive, blinding religion, as I have seen no evidence of self-deprivation or ignorance. Asatru regularly advocates feasting in the name of Gods to please them, and Odin has spent his existence travelling the world learning and teaching man everything that he knows, and by proxy, the Fountain of Knowledge knows, which seems hardly self-destructive to me. As I cannot say that I have ever experienced anything that has convinced me of supernatural existence, as I said, the runes have made certain things seem 'influenced' that would otherwise have been quite lucky, and I mean on the scale of extremely unlikely to impossible. As in allowing me to intimidate those who challenge me.
(Explanation: I am a 10th grader, and during the closing half of the 9th grade year, I fell victim to quite an embarassment. I slipped in the mud and fell, much to the amusement of virtually everyone who was boarding a bus. A quite rambunctious black guy took it in his mind to taunt me, by saying something along the lines of, "That man got pushed in the mud!" Which I promptly stood up and offered a fight with, "F**k you!". He stood there, with a large posse behind him, until he finally admitted defeat with, "Man!" And went onto his bus. I felt there was no real way that he could have not felt he could beat me, as I'm only 6'.5", 180lbs, and I'm not exactly buff, but I'm not fat. I'm quite strong, but I'm also accredited with being the nerd, which means most people would assume I can't fight. Lucky for him he left, because I'm a quite vicious person.)
I cannot say for sure whether or not it was self-confidence from adrenaline, instinct, or the fact that my powered runes that I did not have with me at the time manifested their power in me to project power into me.
Do Satanists view Asatru as a 'false religion', as it promotes knowledge and happiness as much as Satanism, with the only possible deprivation of taking holidays to give your respects to heroes and Gods. Several days are dedicated to remembering brave warriors who accomplished feats of strength or valor, which in honoring I do not see the self-destruction, so I see no reason for it being 'black listed'.
Can anyone provide PROOF that demons exist? I don't want a testimonial, as they can be fabricated. Is there documented proof, via measuring, or photography that they exist? On the site, it says that demons have a higher bioelectric level than humans. Has anyone measured the heightened levels of electricity in the air or that is present in the body?
Do the people of this community believe that my fortune with runes was provided by Satan as a sign to come to him, which is rather illogical considering that such a thing would only strengthen my belief in the Gods, or can they agree that Satan is not the only power, that other gods exist, or is this simply another cult that I can dismiss as being single-minded and xenophobic/xenogynistic?
Does Satan respect those who respect his existence as a/the God, but not as the singular God, because as of now, I believe that Odin himself does exist, for his power that he imposes on the runes at the request of a person who empowers his/her runes has proved itself to me?
That's all for now. Sorry if I've gotten a bit off track, but that's most of what I wanted to ask is if Satan is xenogynistic or if he is accepting of those who construct themselves and explore their minds and gain knowledge by other means?
