I was a satanist and I say that the OP is totally bogus.
He sounds like a mental patient.

LaVeyan satanist don’t even believe in Satan….dumbass.
I mean, seriously? Thats like me ranting about….Jewish beliefs when I don’t know shit about that. But even though I’m not that educated on that religion, I won’t bash it.

Peter H Gilmore, a head of the Church of Satan even stated-

‘Satanists do not believe in the supernatural, in neither God nor the Devil. To the Satanist, he is his own God. Satan is a symbol of Man living as his prideful, carnal nature dictates. The reality behind Satan is simply the dark evolutionary force of entropy that permeates all of nature and provides the drive for survival and propagation inherent in all living things. Satan is not a conscious entity to be worshipped, rather a reservoir of power inside each human to be tapped at will. Thus any concept of sacrifice is rejected as a Christian aberration—in Satanism there’s no deity to which one can sacrific’

I am an Italian. I totally believe in this report. I used to be an occultist. I do know all about Satanists and Satan itself.
My fellow Americans, multiply this wicked assault on the little children of America by the Satanists many times over, and you will begin to have some idea of the extent to which our nation is stained with the blood of the innocents. Does ANYONE care??? of the intense apathy and ignorance that America’s Satanism thrives and operates under! Your ignorance is their cloak of darkness under which they must operate! With such atrocities multiplying throughout this nation, it is time the veil be lifted. It is the intent of these accounts to break indifferent hearts in this nation and to wake up America.
As far as the Islam is concerned, it is a SATANIC religion. Please believe in me. This religion is created by Satan itself. I was a Muslim as well. I have read the Quran many times. I agree, in the Quran I did read a lot
of morally good issues. But I would say the same about other books like
Bhagavad Gita, I would say the same about the Pali Canon or the
Prajnaparamita Sutras, I would say the same about ,,The Prophecies” of
Nostradamus. They also have a lot of morally good issues. But
unfortunately, in the Quran there is no salvation, there is no salvation
in the Bhagavad Gita either, there is no salvation in the Pali Canon
either, there is no salvation in the Prajnaparamita Sutras either, and
there is no salvation in ”The Prophecies of Nosradamus” either. You
will never find salvation in the Quran. Do not try to do it. Everybody
needs salvation from Hell. There was/is no righteous person on earth.
Everyone is sinful. So am I. You will NEVER find a person without any
sin. These are not my words. This is the Bible that tells me about it.
In Romans 3: 23 you can read: ,,For all have sinned and fall short of
the glory of God” But at the same time the Bible in Hebrews 9: 22 tells
us: ”And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are
cleansed with blood, and WITHOUT SHEDDING OF BLOOD THERE IS NO
FORGIVENESS.” That means all of us need a saviour who is able to shed
his blood for my and your salvation from the Hell. Without this no
person can enter the Paradise. There were a lot of prophets on earth.
Muhammad did not shed his blood for my, your and the others’ salvation.
Neither did Buddha. Neither did Nostradamus. Neither did Swami
Vivekananda. All of them died as usual as many people did on earth. No
prophet shed his blood for our salvation but only Jesus Christ shed His
blood for our salvation. Jesus Christ never told us He was going to shed
His blood only for Christians. He shed His blood for every one ( for
Muslims, Hinduists and Buddhists as well ) who believes in Him. That
means Jesus Christ -Son of God, died also for you and for your
salvation. In the John 3: 36 you may read this as follows: ” He who
believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe
the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” Now it
seems to me that when you mention SHIRK, you intend to express your
disagreement with the Bible’s contents concerning the status of Jesus
Christ as the Son of God and the Lord as well as His dying on the cross
and resurrection. Why is this issue such a sticking point for some
people to believe? Of course, we live in a world of doubt and
skepticism. I believe that you are a serious believer in Allah and I do
not think you will use your Islamic belief to run off in a flight of
fancy. But unlike you, I don’t find myself at all able just to take
Muhammad’s words for what had happened almost 500 years before
Muhammad’s birth. Muhammad never talked to Jesus Christ during His
ministry on earth. Muhammad never saw Jesus Christ when He was dying on
the cross. For Muhammad Jesus Christ was a nearly abstract human figure
out of the distant past who–according to certain written records in
Muhammad’s book–was an ordinary prophet, did not die on the cross and
that He was not the Son of God. Would this not run the risk of
minimizing the significance of the Bible while the 11 witnesses who
lived during Jesus Christ’s ministry on earth, saw Jesus Christ and
talked to Him, claimed that Jesus Christ REALLY died on the cross and
then God resurrected Him from the dead? Muhammad has absolutely no basis
whatsoever for making his own judgment or determination about Jesus
Christ’s intelligence, His character, His sanity, His stability, His
motives, His intentions, His anything. And because I think a person
called Muhammad might have said that he new Jesus Christ, I believe it?
Isn’t that just a bit too easy? Aren’t I being just a bit too hasty?
Aren’t I being terribly gullible? Even irresponsible? I am not inclined
just to assume that whatever reason you had for believing in what
Muhammad wrote in his book, it must have been a good enough reason.
There are lots of reasons why people might believe all kinds of things.
Not all of them are “good enough” reasons. As for me, there are some
things I cannot believe merely on the basis that somebody told me it was
so. Some believe because they want to believe. What we believe, in the
context of our faith, must be grounded in something other than what we
desire to be true. We can wear ourselves out trying, but without God’s
help, we will fail.
My point here is simple: we need to avoid vigorously and assiduously the
wishful thinking that motivates so many religions. With the hard-headed
rationality, we must refuse to believe something that we have not–at
some level, or in some sense–”seen” for ourselves. You should be more
clear on what the evidence was–or even if there was any evidence at
all. We must never be willing to believe without any evidence at all.
For if we do, we open ourselves up to deception and wishful thinking. If
I believe without evidence, I do so because I want to believe; I would
much prefer reality to be a certain way, so that’s what I will believe
reality is. The first generation of Christian believers’ confession that
Jesus is risen was not a casual confession–”Oh, wow, far out, Jesus is
back! Isn’t that cool?” It was a confession that shook all of their
prior assumptions apart and turned their worlds upside down. They did
not accept it lightly ( e.g. Thomas); they only finally accepted it when
they no longer had any choice, when they were compelled by the evidence
of their own eyes. But they fought it; they resisted it; none of them
could believe it only on the word of someone else. I believe in the
resurrection of Jesus, and that He is God most importantly, because it
makes so much sense in the light of everything I have come to understand
and know about myself, about God, and about life in general. It is
important that the first apostles of Jesus Christ bear witness to the
fact that they were convinced they saw and spoke to the risen Jesus. It
is important to us that their testimony to that effect is plausible and
consistent and not self-contradictory and incoherent. Whether we have
seen it through the study of the Bible, through our own experience, or
through a combination of both, we must not believe something if we have
not seen it. We must never be willing to believe without any evidence at
all. For if we do, we open ourselves up to deception and wishful
thinking. This is no attitude for the Christian to have. The true
Christian is a lover of truth. The true Christian wants–before anything
else–to believe what is true. To reject truth in favor of reality as I
would prefer it is the epitome of unbelief. This first generation of
Christian men and women, therefore, were not wishful thinkers. They did
not even understand at first the significance of what they were seeing
with their own eyes. So clearly they were not constructing reality as
they wanted it to be. They were hard-headed realists who came to terms
with the objective reality of how things truly are.
Jesus really is risen; the Messiah sent from God really did suffer and
die on the cross, only to be raised from death; and His death and
resurrection really was the thing God did in order to bring life to a
dead world. Any creed book that contains more than the Bible, contains
too much and is useless! We already have the Bible! Revelation 22:18-19
and Galatians 1:6-9 say that we are not to add to God’s Word, nor can we
subtract from it. Also, we are not to substitute for it. In other words,
the Bible is complete (2 Timothy 3:16-17). It is perfect (James 1:25).
There is no need for an additional book or books. All we have is the
Bible. We have no additional book or books that we follow. There is not
a man living that can write a book of rules and regulations that would
equal the Bible. God has not given anyone the right to write such a
book. The Holy Spirit has not inspired anyone to write such a book. The
Bible is the Word of God and the Word of God only. Every man-made book
has its own man-made creed in the form of manuals, disciplines,
confessions of faith, etc. All are additions to God’s Word. The creeds
of man can lead you to but one place – HELL! Jesus said, “I am the way,
the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me”
(John 14:6). It would be helpful for you to read also 1 John 5:12-13
”He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does
not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of
the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.” and
John 3:36 ” Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever
rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him.” I
must tell you that Jesus Christ shed His blood on the cross for everyone
on earth even for Muhammad. I don’t know if Muhammad repented, believed,
and accepted Jesus Christ as the Son of God and got baptized. But if you
do not repent, believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and be baptized
then God’s wrath will remain on you and you will not see eternal life in
heaven. Though I am pretty sure that you will disagree with these
things, I do hope that it does help you understand these important
issues.

“Shelley: You know, many Republicans often claim that Satanism is the unofficial religion of American liberals. Is this true?
Lucas: Yes. A reliable guess is that about 60% of all liberals, and I am talking DNC members are in fact satanists. I never met a fellow Satanist that was a Republican”

THIS IS THE DUMBEST BUNCH OF CRAP I’VE EVER READ. I’VE NEVER IN MY ENTIRE LIFE MET ANYONE WHO WAS A SATANIST, WORSHIPPED THE DEVIL, OR WHATNOT.

Stop spreading lies. If any group people are the opposite of what Christ taught, it is you far right wing conservatives: selfish, judgemental, greedy, spreading lies.

What a crock!

This was a ridiculous interview filled with lies. Frankly I cant trust a so called EX satanist who was planning to murder his girlfriend and till this day says….I GUESS WE BOTH WERE LUCKY. As for the towel wearing , everyone with real insight knows that the muslims arent wearing towels around their heads. At least make it believable.
Than it went even more left field when he eliminated all republicans. What a joke.

I am an actual, real live Satanist. The kind of juvinille violent stupidity and superstition that your interview describes is NOT Satanism, unless you are a dupe who believes that saying “Satan” will actually conjure the Christian devil who is behind some kind of conspiracy to get people to steal souls. If you believe that (and I’m sure you do) you are a fool who doesn’t deserve to be taken seriously.

Satanists ademantly condemn animal sacrifice. They condemn hurting other people. We think that religion causes cruelty and mental illness. It infantalizes people, and it encourages passive aggressive masochism. We want people to be free to be adults who take responsibility for themselves. You want them to cower. WE are individualists who like symbols and rituals. YOU are someone who doesn’t trust people to make their own decisions and who thinks superstition is going to fix the world.

The guy you interviewed is either somebody who was a violent punk who thought occultism was cool, or he’s an absurd liar. If he’s telling the truth, I’m glad he got out of that lifestyle. I’d prefer he be a Christian to being a nihilistic asshole. Seriously. Dumbass teenagers who want to get violent kicks and excuse it with occultism are a menace. A very small, obscure menace, but a menace just the same.

I have a feeling that this is all a scam though.

These kinds of stories of cult sacrifices have been debunked so many times, it’s not even worth the effort it’s taking me to type this, but I’ll press on and finish this up and post it.

You are right though that Satanists are a threat to people like yourself. Is there a secret conspiracy of Satanists? Yes. We don’t advertize who we are. We talk in secret. We make nefarious plans to fight stupidity and hypocricy. We aren’t going to kill your dog, but we will work to spread common sense around in an effort to marginalize morons like you.

I wish people like you would grow up. That’s all I really want.
