  SATANISM: Real & imaginary
There are probably dozens of different religious belief systems and practices that have been called "Satanism." Depending upon the precise meaning given to the word, the total number of Satanists in the world can be anything from a few thousand to four billion individuals.
In this section, we describe seven main activities which have been commonly referred to as Satanism: religious Satanism, and six forms of pseudo-Satanism -- practices that either don't exist or are unrelated to any worship of Satan as a deity.
Some of these books are by Satanists; others are books by conservative Christians about their concept of Satanism:

  Satanism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Philosophical Satanists generally do not recognize a theological deity or a metaphysical afterlife (though this is not to say that one must not); however this does not equate to a life devoid of spirituality.
A Satanist views himself as his or her own god; the Satanic rituals are quite similar Crowley's magick, with an eye towards furthering the Satanist's ends.
Depending on the Satanists in question, this God (or Gods) may be any in a variety of deities, sometimes taken from ancient faiths; with common ones being Set of Egyptian theology, any number of ancient Mesopotamian Gods or Goddesses, sometimes Gods of Greek or Roman mythology (Mars, for instance).

Satanists are truly at ease with their own bodies and its functions, whereas the Xtians have always felt that the body was "unruly" and should be controlled, kept in chains.
Satanists are individualists and despise herd people, and there's no point in praising Hitler and his National Socialism, as he and his mode of government exhibited the typical Xtoid sickness: stupid people needing a male head to think for them.
Another Xtian type posing as Satanist is the "theist Satanist." This is yet another example of a person who cannot escape his Xtian upbringing and therefore needs an external god to think for him (which eventually amounts to not thinking at all).

In the news media across America, Satanists are being charged with such crimes as mutilating and sacrificing animals, desecrating churches, profaning and robbing graves, exhuming corpses, raping, kidnapping, child molestation, ritual murder and cannibalism.
Individual Satanists are so because they are not aware of any groups in their area, or they do not feel the need to get involved with one.[15] Nonetheless, to some degree (from dabblers to serious Satanists) they believe in and practice Satanism.
The serious Satanist does not "advertise." It would appear that if and when they commit crimes they do their best to destroy any evidence; thus, most of the crimes that come to light are committed by the dabblers.

 Wiccan Disclaimer Critique
Satanists are just imitating a Christian caricature of Wicca; and we resent Satanists for stealing the word 'witch' and causing further confusion."
Most Satanists have their own interpretations of who/what "Satan" is, and do not believe in the Christian God.
Others are Satanists because they believe that Satan is more powerful than the Christian "God", if the latter exists at all; thus they are not "rebelling," but simply accepting what they regard as spiritual reality.

Satanists who are willing to share a general description of their beliefs to such people have at times chosen a more general description of their spiritual path such as “occultist”.
Parallel to this, “herd conformity” is one of LaVey’s Nine Satanic Sins, and a repeated critique that Satanists have of Christians.
Because Satanists seek to push against the herd and are only willing to give Christians and Christian clergy respect where deserved, there are several passages in the Gospels that resonate these actions in the life of Christ.

 Satanists in Love - Band page with free MP3 music downloads on SoundClick
Satanists in Love was two people, starting out literally just playing whatever one night, with The GZeus attacking things with his jutting, uncomfortable riffs and Sir Weeze wailing into a microphone, loosely related to what's usually refered to as "vocals".
Satanists in Love (SaILo) refined their act throughout each of these shows, getting "better" and increasing the potency of their attack.
It was somewhere between "5" and "Fucking Cold Show" that The GZeus and Sir Weeze were either simply replaced, or kidnapped and murdered, or evolved into, or bought out to sound like, or brutally beaten by drifters and whores into the shapes and personalities of Calpis Face and Christian Solo.
