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.

Intéressant, acheter seulement comme déco de halloween mais au finale un livre intéressant.

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

Want a solid foundational understanding of Satanism and all that entails? Buy this book. Want information on rituals and Greater Black Magic... go elsewhere! Anton was a genius and a jester infinitely melded as to form a whole however on occasion one part blots out the other. Without a doubt this book is a pillar of clear thought and really should be required reading for anyone claiming an ounce of clear critical thinking. LaVey runs the gamut of carny, High Priest, and Poet throughout and it's a such a small book a night is required and it is an entertaining mental roller coaster ride. What is perhaps the curiosity of this book is that "Satan" is a dark force in this book whereas in later writings of others associated with the Church of Satan at weakest the view of Satan is presented in Agnostic fashion at worst and occasionally nears outright worship Michael Aquino who wrote the introduction of this book 1972-1976 splintered off to form the Temple of Set in 1975 with great deal of the original Priesthood of the Church of Satan when it became apparent that LaVey was selling degrees in the organization to the highest bidder possibly to fund himself or the Church. Ranks in the organization now are handed out at the whim of the administrators at this time as they do not signify accomplishment after the post 1975 schism. Also, as Gilmore is the current High Priest the organization reflects more his idea of Satanism than Anton's at this juncture not that Gilmore doesn't have merits but you may find some of Anton's and Gilmore's writings taking different tangents on similar subjects. Gilmore's view seems to be that anyone who believes in a Satan as a deity is not a Satanist, but there are many that beg to differ on that point with many Satanists either believing in "universal dark force", "personally created dark force", or even the idea that the Satanist creates his own conception of these. None of these are issues in the TSB, and that is why it remains a valid starter text for anyone who wishes to know the truth of the matter. The chapters on the fundamental beliefs of Satanist are gold, but deeper in the Rituals are actually a mishmash of Crowley's, Dee and Kelly's, and Golden Dawn work in the ritual department. You perhaps would like to consider the sources before using this information. Anton had the sensibility to remove most of the Christian viewpoint from most of his translation of it, however one could legitimately argue modified Enochian Keys are junk. Curiously enough the tetragrammaton is used in the ritual text and sort of clues you out as to where some of the information as from as it really has little meaning to a proper Satanist. That being all said the first half of this book is a gold mine of personal improvement, quality of life advice, and philosophy that will jump start any proper Satanist in the right direction and is really a required read for all Left Hand Path readers. Let me say that the world lost a great man in LaVey's passing and that there are few people who can think so freely as him living on this rock.

Nice
