P.S.: Isnt Satanism a 100% intergral part of the JudeoChristian tradition?
@@@@ Not by any means. To quote Satanist Matthew G. Paradise: "We take the name Satan in concept only, and one boldly and unrepentantly defined by us... The archetype itself, by whatever name is appropriate, is far older than [Christ]tianity or Judaism, and it was these religions that, in order to gain a foothold in the world, decided to destroy and bastardize the 'pagan gods.' Satan has generally been the character who has challenged sterile thought, encouraged indulgence, rebelled against slavery, and truly represented human nature and all that the mundane world offers. By extension, instead of worshiping Satan, we emulate him."
The website satanism101.com can perhaps best answer whatever other questions you might have regarding Satanism. If you're interested, you can find the FAQ page by going to this website and clicking on "Enter". After you enter the website, click on the uppermost link at the left of the page titled "Essentials", and then scroll down to the bottom of the page that comes up until you get to "Satanism - Frequently Asked Questions" and click on that. It's a rather entertaining FAQ page. :)
