Satanic Bible

I could understand and learn a different and unique perspective.

Once you purchase this book,you shall be immediately one of The Disciples of SATAN.

とても興味深い本です。 内容は主に、以下のサタニズム9箇条について詳しい説明と、キリスト教等「完全なる神」を信仰する宗教が陥り易い偽善性を指摘したものです。 1、サタンは禁欲ではなく放縦を象徴する。 2、サタンは霊的な夢想ではなく、生ける実存を象徴する。 3、サタンは偽善的な自己欺瞞ではなく、純粋な知恵を象徴する。 4、サタンは恩知らずな者のために愛を無駄にすることではなく、親切にされるに値する者に親切にすることを象徴する。 5、サタンは右の頬を打たれたら左の頬も向けるのではなく、仕返しをする行為を象徴する。 6、サタンは精神面で他人の脛をかじる者への配慮ではなく、責任を負うべき者への責任を象徴する。 7、サタンはただの動物としての人間を象徴している。『神から授かった精神と知能の発達』によって最も悪しき動物となってしまった人間という生き物は、四足動物より優れていることもあるが劣っていることの方が多いのである。 8、サタンは罪と呼ばれるものすべてを象徴する。おおよそ罪とは肉体的、精神的及び感情的な満足につながるものだからである。 9、サタンはつねに教会の最も親しい友人であり続けてきた。というのも彼は長年それを仕事としてきたのである。 内容がとても良いにもかかわらず、星4つにした理由はただ一つ、紙がショボい。折角有意義な内容なのだから、ハードカバーでもっといい紙使って欲しかったです。

ほとんどキリスト教に対する批判ばかりで途中から読むのをやめた。 高橋ヨシキさんのネットの記事を見て購入したが、彼の本を読んだ方がいいと思う。 また、キリスト教を批判したいならこの本を買うよりもニーチェの本を読んだ方がまだ教養がつくと思う。

OMG, I LOVE THIS BOOK! I shied away from it most of my life out of fear of what other's might think... But when my boyfriend expressed interest in it as well I decided to finally purchase it for the both of us. My only regret...? NOT BUYING IT SOONER!!! This is the funniest, most down to earth, slap-tastic, in your face review of religion in general while also offering the most factual, real, & relatable alternative for a far better, wholesome, & self-loving belief system! It's NOTHING like I was lead to believe! I'm recommending this to other doubters out there! THANKS LAVEY!

Livro simples, com folhas finas e capa belíssima. Sem enrolação, direto ao ponto. Simplesmente Anton LaVey.

Great book about the way of life and the only God you need, which is You, yourself.

The Satanic Bible is the book that turned the quasi-religious, up-its-own-backside, mainstream, Popular Occult world completely on its head - unveiling the entire edifice as simply another form of Christianity. Before Anton Szandor LaVey unleashed this volume (and his Church of Satan) upon the world, Occultism meant "White" Witchcraft cum New Age otherworldniness cum Hippie spiritual (drug-induced) idealism. Occult text books followed such an identical, "safe" template that each one could very well have been written by the same person, with every self-ordained "White" Witchcraft writer repeatedly warning readers about practising "Black" Magic, and to stay clear of the "Left Hand Path" of Devil Worship. The Satanists who were said to belong in this phantom zone were described as totally Evil, monstrous persons, who led heinous, depraved lifestyles, desecrated Christian cemeteries and sacrificed children and animals to the Devil. The only problem for the self-righteous "White" esoteric orthodoxy was that these ghastly Satanists did not, in fact, exist in the real world: The invention of a thoroughly evil path of Occultism was (and remains) a rather pathetic attempt by self-proclaimed "White" Witches to gain social acceptance & respectability. LaVey wrote his Satanic Bible to serve two vital functions: 1)His book was not intended to seduce or "convert" people to Satanism - but to "click" with those who had already been thinking and acting in accordance with the prescription. 2)LaVey decided it was high time that people were informed that 99.99% of what was termed "Occultism" was quasi-Christian, metaphysical balderdash, being the first Magician to write down what every genuine Magus and Occultist already knew: that there was NO "Black" or "White" Magic; no Tolkienesque "Eternal Battle" between Light & Darkness; no absolute "Good" & "Evil" opposites. All of these things were purely religious,Christian concepts which Popular Occultism had unceremoniously plundered from the sphere of Theology, adding them to what was loosely termed "Occult Lore". The Satanic Bible remains the first, genuine Occult tome to outline a system of Ritual Magic that undeniably works. LaVey's system of Satanic Rituals, designed not only for the Conjuration of Compassion & Lust, but also for Destruction, causes as much consternation now as it did when it first was published. But this remains one of the book's main points: The LaVey system is real Occultism - stripped of its age-old Christian philosophical veneer; devoid of "divine rewards & punishments". Read the Satanic Bible and learn that Anton LaVey's Satan is beyond "Good" & "Evil" - even beyond the Christian concepts of God and Devil. Let Objectivity and Intelligence be your guides. 30 years after its publication, the Satanic Bible still stands as a formidable, dynamic challenge that will NOT be ignored: both to all forms of life-denying organized religion and to the persisting, escapist, metaphysical mess that is mainstream, Popular Occultism. The book still, therefore, has the ability to offend all those who wish to stay imprisoned within the constraints of a Mainstream Occult labyrinth, which remains completely unable to disentangle itself from from the arbitrary morals, ethics and values of the Christian faith. Afraid of completely and utterly (to say nothing of Atheistically) empowering yourself to the utmost degree and recognizing yourself as the God/Goddess you truly are? Wary of utilizing proven, powerful, real Magic for the guilt-free fulfilment of all of your desires in this, the Land of The Living? Unwilling to embrace Satan and His Demons as your friends, comrades, Brothers & Sisters? Frightened by Shadows? Frightened by your SELF? Then this book is NOT for you. Hail Satan!

Nice

Probably the best self help book you will find on the market
