so true!

the church of satan vs the infernal circle

LaVey preaches about individualism and personal empowerment, but then he goes and creates this hierarchical organization with titles and ranks. How is that true individualism? It mirrors the very structures of control and conformity that it claims to oppose! It’s just so hypocritical. He rails against dogma, yet the Church of Satan is filled with dogmatic rules and expectations that stifle genuine self-expression. LaVeyan Satanism says you should be your own god, but how can you be your own god if you're just following LaVey's rules and interpretations? It’s a contradiction! It’s all about personal autonomy, but then it demands you adhere to this prescribed path. It’s like saying, "Be free, but only in this specific way." It’s maddening! Ethics are another murky area. LaVeyan Satanism’s moral framework is alarmingly ambiguous. It promotes self-interest above all else, which can easily justify unethical behavior. It’s a slippery slope where anything can be rationalized in the name of personal gain. A truly enlightened path should offer a more balanced approach to ethics, considering the well-being of others alongside personal empowerment. And let’s talk about the cult of personality. LaVey’s charisma and mystique have led to this ridiculous cult of personality within the Church of Satan. Followers often revere LaVey himself rather than the principles he espoused. It’s a quasi-religious devotion that contradicts the individualistic nature of Satanism. Instead of being self-worshippers, they end up worshipping LaVey, which is just absurd. LaVeyan Satanism also lacks spiritual depth. With its focus on rationality and atheism, it often ignores the rich spiritual heritage of Satanism. By denying the existence of the supernatural and focusing solely on the material world, it leaves followers spiritually unfulfilled and disconnected from the deeper, metaphysical aspects of their faith.
