The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. -- F. Scott Fitzgerald
Satanism is characterized by travesty and this is to advocate the polar opposite of what Christianity does. Satanism has a hedonistic/existential outlook that is not appreciated in the Judeo-Christian, selfless outlook. Symbolism throughout Satanic rites that mock and dismiss Christian concepts are important for not only feeling the brotherhood of an organization, which in itself is a travesty of organized religion, but also to take your mind out of a state of reality and into a play, if you will, where you are an actor accomplishing what ever it is you desire. It is like undertaking a fantastical role and really feeling like that is you. This is a way of empowering Satanists with the feeling of self worth as opposed to fear.
ANONN OH MY GOD..That cat is so cute!!! It looks just like Arvy on a Sunday morning, when everyone's at church, and he's home with his hand full of JIZZ from last night's adventures!!

Though there is a suggestion that laws are unnecessary, Satanism preaches the idea of do unto others as you would have done unto you and from that point it is "hands off".
"...someone who is just, intrinsically just, not moralistically or biblically or theologically just... but I'm talking about the concept of how they would like it if such and such happened to them, and using that as the only yardstick and finding if they're going to find victims, suitable victims, because the world certainly abounds with them. I mean there are a lot of people who wish to be taken advantage of or fettered and this is the wondrously honest thing or refreshing thing about outspoken Satanism. It recognizes that the world is made up of people who do need rules, who do need fetters, who do need direction and institutionalism and we cannot dismiss that. But then that doesn't mean that these people will not be in this area or this capacity as opposed to the other capacity."
"I see nothing wrong with robbing somebody on the street. I shouldn't probably say this, if there is some indication given, tacitly given, that that person is really setting himself up to be robbed. I mean this is really getting into the hardest core of the hunter and the hunted and we're getting into the strongest elements of Satanic thought. That doesn't mean that I advocate robbery. It simply that there should be, ideally, but there cannot be, a sort of arrangement...not rules, not regulations, but an arrangement whereby the hunted know they're the hunted, the hunters know they're the hunters and that's it."

A Satanist would help, you malignant tumor. A Christian would say, "God is looking out for her."
My criticism regarding Anton LaVey himself is that he was a Jew before a Satanist. He spent many words in "The Devil's Notebook" and "Satan Speaks" making Jews seem like Satanists or glorifying Jewish accomplishments. Satanic Rites do not parody anything Jewish though, technically, it would be as philosophically, if not more, justified than Christian parodies. Bottom line, LaVey is a good spokesperson, but it is beyond just him.
