A while back, I was asked, as a satanist, what do I want from life. Simply put, I want to live. As far as I'm concerned, we are born once, we live once, and we die once. No rewards for wasting your life, no punishments for living. So what does this mean?
Life is a wonderful thing, our bodies have sences that allow us to experience the world around us. My goal in life is to experience all the pleasures of this world before I have to leave it. Tastes, smells, touches, sights and sounds, anything that is pleasent to me I wish to enjoy. What do I want from life? I want to live.
What do I have to die for? Truth is absolutely nothing. No heaven nor hell. As a result I am not particularly eager to die. Not entirely sure how satanists can be considered death obsessed. If anything, most theist religions promise a superior life after their current if one wavers certain natural rights like sex or eating certain foods or other things ranging from odd to unreasonable. Some as we have seen are willing to lay down their lives for their religion, either being tortured to death during a forced conversion or ramming a plane into a skyscraper.
That is however not to say a satanist won't risk his or her life for a loved one. Just that he or she will attempt to find a way to save the loved one as well if possible.
