The main text of Satanism is The Satanic Bible by Anton LeVey. There are a couple of other books by him that seem to be mentioned in the information. His daughter also writes books on Satanism.
I have read TSB out of curiousity. The main thing I got from it, which I found interesting from a psychology student point of view, is that it's all about following your instincts. Very much "survival of the fittest" but it was never put in those terms.
Ok, here is the story about this guy I knew in high school(I might have told this before). He was a weird kid. Alter boy, quiet, blah blah blah....until he got in junior high or so. He started working out all the time and became more outgoing. This kid was hot. Around high school time, he started signing his school papers "Satan" & "Hitler." He wore a military jacket with a Nazi patch that he swore he dug up from a grave. He hung out with some girls from Columbus who said they were witches, introduced him to acid, and carved a pentacle in him.
One night after a football game, he killed his parents. He sawed off his dad's head while the dad was still alive. He shot his mom and nailed her to the floor. Then, he called his brother home from a football game with plans to kill him (he didn't though).
The cops found him in a graveyard, chanting in Latin. The cops had it on their little tape recorders they wear on their belts. They tried to get priests to translate, but it was spoken so fluently, they had trouble. The gist of it was "Satan has turned his back on me; he promised me power; he lied."
It came out later that he was making his own acid, got off on the smell of animals he killed and put under his bed, and was sexually abused by his alcoholic father his whole life. He had a hit list of other people he was going to kill and how.
This was the most horrible thing that I have ever had to deal with in my life. I wasn't a part of it per say...but just to know that this terrible crime was committed by someone you thought you knew and would talk with is terrifying. I feel sorry for this kid that he got so tangled up in something that it drove him to this point. I feel worse because his brother is left to deal with all of it.
Bottom line.........Satanism is BAD.
