Actually I was all good with the book until Lavey started on the ritual stuff. It sounded to much like I *needed* to practice these rituals to call myself a satanist (which I didn't and don't). Create an altar, have a whaddayacallit from which you gain strength. Of course it should be emphasised many times that all this is only optional because you should do "what you will"... I'd much rather do something useful with my time ;) To bad almost half the book was about this kind of crap. Another thing that bothered me, or amused me actually, is that satanism is very much about the individual. But by placing so much emphasis on the 'being an individual' and 'doing what you want' it's almost as if they're doing what they want because others expect it from them! If I'd go to church every sunday and lived by the bible I'd still be able to call myself a satanist because doing that would be exactly what I want. Vice versa also seems true, trying so hard to be an individual is almost like sitting in church every sunday because it's expected of you. What's more, by calling individualism satanism you are actually a non-individual (belongen to the group that calls itself 'satanists' by being individual... I love the contradictions! In the end we're all just human and we got big by *not* being individual. We're all just doing what everyone else does and free will is a myth :) By the way, someone gave you a lot of downvotes for no appearent reason in this thread... They kind of stood out so I countered them (in case you're wondering where all the upvotes came from).
It's an OO world.
