That Which Makes Me a Satanist, (in a nut shell.)
As a youngster, growing up in Utah, the dominant religion was forced upon me. Since I was 6 years old, I found myself unable to buy into its teachings, or even a belief in any of the gods. That made me feel odd and left out in so many things going on while growing up. I tried to voice my questions and thoughts to my parents and was told to “Blindly follow.” I could not. Although I did play the part. I started at a young age to set up my own guidelines to follow in life. I became goal oriented and driven in things I undertook. Religion was nowhere in my future or thoughts. In my early teen years I remember seeing Doktor LaVey on talk shows and thinking to myself, this guy is on to something. For years and years He floated in and out of my mind. I continued on my path to be the best me I could be, not without huge bumps in my road. Being goal oriented, I overcame these bumps and surpassed any expectations others had given me. I am proud of who I am and who I will become.
Forward several years, I met, who I call, my best male friend and a true Brother. I asked many questions and spent countless hours researching for my own answers. I realized I have been living a lot of the Satanic philosophies most of my life. I joined the Church Of Satan. A place where I finally feel I belong. I have made a great many acquaintances I look up to and will continue to cherish. Being a Satanist has had a wonderfully positive role in who I am becoming. I am happier than ever!
HAIL ME!
HAIL SATAN!!
HAIL US!!!
