Tell me something, what do you call a person with no religion? I forgot.

Darken,

The Biblical principle that Christians are to follow is love the sinner hate the sin.  For those people who are non-christian, whether they be Satanists or Pagans or Mormons or atheists or what ever, we are to witness to them in a loving and compassionate way.  We are NOT to belittle them but to pity them and remember what we were like before we came to Christ. 

It is a little different for christians who have backslidden or claim to be a christian and bear no fruit.  We are to go to them and lovingly confront them about their wrong doing.  If they continue, we are to get some elders and go back to them again.  If they still continue, the church is to have nothing to do with them until they repent.

Hope this helped

Well, seeing as how none of you actually seem to know what Satanism actually is, I'll explain. I hold many Satanic beliefs myself, but do not consider myself one, seeing as how I disagree with some of their beliefs.
The Church of Satan is basically a spiritually-oriented sect of Angosticism. They believe that there is no God anywhere that is more important than themselves. The Self is most important, and all parts of the self, such as Family and such. They tend to be pretty wrathful and arrogant, and The Church has turned into a money-amking operation, but that's beside the point. They are based on the belief that it doesn't matter whether or not there is heaven or hell, you have to live for the moment, and live a life of indulgence, not abstinence. Satanists also believe in responsibility to the responsible, and abolition of equal rights and expectations, for equal rights leads to promotion of mediocrity, and destruction of individuality and excellence. Children and animals are considered the epitome of excellence, and as such, to mistreat or harm a pure being in any way is considered one of, if not the, greatest sin of all. Read the Satanic Bible if you have some moronic belief about animal sacrifice. Basically, the whole thing is a mix of Humanism, paganism(without any gods or sanctimonious bulls**t white magic) and agnosticism(without so much self-righteous neutrality) There is lots of selfishness involved, but justified selfishness. Oh, and Satanists (At least LeVeyan Satanists) don't believe in an actual Satan, they just use his name as a symbol of their rebellious, questioning, and selfish nature. Oh, and they have a dark sense of humor, and like to piss off Christians. No devil-worship here, despite what many of you might think.
For more information, read the Satanic Bible. I can almost guarantee your local library has it (Unless you live in the bible belt, or Kansas, you poor, unfortunate motherfarker.)


~~Krollusk

Krollusk, I spoke in a general way of Satanism, since that was in my belief what was asked for here. To all who may not be familiar with The Church of Satan. It was indeed ,as Krollusk says, Founded by Anton Zandor LeVey. The tenets and all that he laid out for you are in fact theirs. He's also correct on the Satanic Bible; also know as the Black Bible to some. If you live in the 'Bible Belt', or any of the other predominantly, deeply rooted Christian areas of the world; you will not find it. In many cases in these areas, bookstores won't even order it for you.

Here in the Uk there was a TV programme with a satanist on it, he had commited many minor crimes and took part in a show called "bad lads army". This is where they had to go through a stint of 1900's style military service. But as we all know the army is very religious especially back then, so this group of lads was made to go to church once a week.

the practicing satanist however... Broke down into tears when he had to go into a church and attand a service, sing a couple of hymns and say a prayer or two.

My question is to Krollusk, why if he was a practicing satanist, did he break down into tears at the entance to the church. He said something was preventing him from entering but according to your post above they do not beleive in a deity. I realise that his beleifs are of a selfish nature but why, if he does not believe in god did he feel like he had been banished from entering a *house of G-d*?

The reason i ask is that his actions and strong emotions that were provoked by entering a simple building conflict with your post about them not beleiving in G-d or satan.

It's called acting.

I am a satanist and you do not know what your talking about that is your opinion but to only know the truth you should be a satanist father satan is the one true god and he and his demons help satanist achieve what they want and desire and at the end of it we are happy and we live in happiness in hell not in torture father would not do this to us.

I am a spiritual satanist and are you a satanist? You did not say if you are or arent/
