Just wanted to say hello to fellow Dark Atheists.

LaVey did most of his act tongue in cheek.  He was a charlatan, but so was Crowley.  They were brilliant at being charlatans.  Nothing wrong with that.  I suspect the membership had widely-disparate reasons for either believing in Satan or in the Promethean symbol he became, especially as the Light Bringer (!).

yeah well thats just it man created "god" due to the fact that man is ignorant and fears the unknown. I fear nothing but the human mind and its ability to create such nonsense that can cause mass hysteria around the entire fucking planet. Ave Satanas! :)

Yeah, known Crowley fan Jimmy Paige.  Supposedly, if you run "Stairway to Heaven" backward you get "My sweet Satan."

I heard it from Jethro Tull, sort of, but that's kind of my point. Backward masking and SRA are made-up conspiracies of fundamentalist paranoia, but art, even pop culture, sometimes sows the seeds of doubt. Or maybe fertilizes them. I had doubts, then I sought voices similar to mine that voiced them.

@Samantha: Crowley, years before, said, "There is no god but Man."

Having once been an atheistic satanist and the fact that I own Anton's Satanic bible and hve read it cover to cover I can argue that it is not oxymoronic at all. It clearly states that "Satan" stands for "Mankind" impure, imperfect animal. It states that as a satanist you worship only yourself and you embrace you natural sexual urges and impure tendencies as a human. You worship yoursef as a god or goddess of darkness, fear nothing and no deity higher than yoursef exists. you have to be very narcissistic and have a hate for religion because it was founded as a mockery of the church.

"The Book of Lies" is the equal of anything by Lewis Carroll.

And Crowley definitely had a sense of humor that few of his followers got. Put a lot of paradoxes and philosophical booby traps in his writing.
