It's basically Randian Objectivism meets Dungeons & Dragons. I mean, whatever floats your boat, but it seems kind of silly to me.

I think satanism is a practice that has been bastardised by christianity and alternative youth culture to produce a charicature of its underlying truth.
Satanism is a rejection of the fall of man - it is based in the belief that man's eating of the fruit of knowledge was a positive thing, not a negative thing, and that the fearful 'god' is punishing the human because of insecurity.
Taking this view leads one to praise intellectual endeavors, to revel in the individual, to worship man as an enlightened and capable player in reality.
Satanists can love, or not. Whether someone is a 'good' satanist or a 'bad' satanist is not central to the notion of satanism. However, popular media has painted satanism as an essentially negative thing, thanks to our christian cultural history

Satanism is just a form of immature, ideological rebellion.
The ancient symbolism is fascinating, as is the connection to our ugly archetypes.

I think "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law (under love)" by Crowley sums up all you really need to know about Satanism, if you need to know anything. The rituals and other shit is up to each individual to try out and see what happens. It's funny that Crowley was a Satanist, yet his ritual magic is about summoning angels (Enochian magic at least).

it is completely part of--the flip side of--the christian religion, and very UGLY! It dissociates with 'christianity' and thus despises what it believes is ONLY part of christianity like compassion, turning the other cheek---so like an obnoxious, abused, childish brat goes all arse over tit into the other--such as DESPISE the 'weak', dont turn the other cheek but CRUSH those who get in your way.
IF you love and support satanism you love and support 9/11, 7/7 and other bloody atrocities full of misery, disease, hurt and horrible deaths and exploitation and profit from all that horror!!

How much do you actually know about the beliefs of Satanism? Just curious because none of that jibes with what I've read.

So you really don't know much at all about Satanism. Thanks for giving us your views on it in detail.

I think it is dangerous.
I heard a recording on youtube of Nikolas Schreck earnestly describing Satanism's war against Christianity and Christian values, which he seemed to wholeheartedly despise.
Not to mention his apparent intelligence which which made it all seem a little more, I don't know.. dramatic(?) to me. Not sure how to describe it, but I never realized just what kind of misanthropists there are out there.

I read a bit of the satanic bible and as far as I understand it is simply a mockery of the silly christian shit. It is a sarcasm, the mimicking practices like mock sacrifice are done simply because it is what the Christians would have people believe blasphemers do.
I've always believed the tree of knowlege was simply a tale of the birth of higher consciousness and ego in man. Adam and Eve cover their genitals after partaking.
