Why Satanism?

I guess we all look for something in our lives. When I was protesting against Scientology, I read their books so I would not be ignorent if it came down to debating. In time I read other books, The Bible, the Book of Mormon, books on Paganism. I never looked into satanism because I beleived it was a christian myth. A label applied to non christian religions, particularly pagan religions. I bought a copy of the Omen Box Set from my local HMV and eventually went through the special features and there was an interview from a member of the "Church of Satan". A real satanist. So I started to look it up. There was an actual Church of Satan. I read that the founder wrote the beleifs in a volumne unsprisingly called "The Satanic Bible". Unlike other religions I read about, it didn't disgust me. Instead I was drawn to it. I read on the net these satanists did not worship the christian devil, they abhore child and animal sacrifice. They view enemies as being symbolicly sacrificed when casting a curse. They beleive a person's worth is based on what he can do and not on false forgiveness. So I went to London and found my own copy of the Satanic Bible. It explains the importance of accepting yourself. Not to feel guilt about doing things you enjoy as long as you're responcible.

Dispite finding my path, I still read others, even those I do not agree with. I feel ignorence is disgusting.
