Theistic Satanism

As the Satanic ideals and religion grew more popular throughout the decades of the 20th century, most Satanists were only symbolic Satanists. This means they used Satan as a symbol for desires that other religions denied, individuality, strength, independance, etc, but did not actually worship or believe in Satan. To be a Theistic, or traditional Satanist, means to be one that truly believes in Satan and worships him as the deity that he is.
*Philosophical/Symbolic Satanism- " We don't actually believe in Satan, but we live very similarly to the principles of which a true Satanist operates on, minus worshipping"

*Theistic Satanism*- I believe in and worship Satan as a god

satanism

Something most poeple on Urbandictionary, and the world, obviously know nothing about.

Most teenagers who claim to be satanists do not know the concept of Satanism themselves.

LaVeyan Satanism is the type of satanism where you practice self-indulgence, and believe that you are your own god. Nothing fucked-up or rebellious about that.

Theistic Satanism is the type of satanism where you actually do believe in and worship a literal Satan.

There is no reason to call this religion ridiculous, just take a look at Scientology.

John was telling Kate to "just accept that women in video games have huge breasts because that's what sells and we should let the free market function as it will". But that appears to have been a stanislavski opinion, because two days later he was arguing that the writers for Star Wars should focus on it's "real fans" rather then diversifying the cast "Just to sell to a larger audience".
