Belief Is Reality Loki Dreaming p Well when you think of it what he promoted in his early days was way diffrent then what he promoted as Satanism by the time he died. In his bio Secret life of a satanists he does claim to have met an actual Lovecraftian enity under ground,etc etc. and as one guy put it: You can't celebrate life, yet declare it meaningless. If you read the Satanic Bible and LaVey's whole idea of an "impersonal force" or intelligence behind the Universe - his book clearly promoted Deism or more precisely, Panentheism and magic. He was not trying to promote materialistic atheism, which is the belief that life is meaningless, there is no intelligence behind the Universe and everything that brought us to where we are now is some kind of freak accident or incredible stroke of luck. In his attempt to distance himself from the alleged "pseudo-Satanists", Peter Gilmore promoted materialistic atheism. But, in promoting this philosophy, was not LaVey's magic and Deism somehow lost in the process? And, why did he adopt the title, "Magus?" In Webster's Dictionary, this word means "magician" or "sorceror." This does not tie in neatly with materialistic atheism. The point is, even if you agree with Peter Gilmore and you're a total atheist, why use LaVey's name and reputation to get your point across? Gilmore could start his own Church of Satanic Atheism and most would be pleased. |

Peter H. Gilmore doesnt understand what Satanism is.... let me rephrase that, he is not setting a good example for Satanist of what Satanism is. Satanism to put it simply is getting shit done, and being independent, I think it doesnt matter wheather or not you worship a literal force or deity but wheather or not you are intellegant enough to not be brought down by mainstream religion and the dogma of mainstream religion, that to me is true Satanism

If Anton LaVey worshipped Satan in the forest, and it was forty years ago, did it make a sound and should I care?
You can be an atheist but still believe that life is meaningful.

That could be a broad definition of the Left Hand Path. Personally, I don't see anything particularly Satanic about it. That statement could easily apply to hardworking Christians... who may or may not also be LHP.
The more we understand ourselves, our universe, and everything in between the clearer Higher Forces become. The kind of devotion towards something intangible, such as an ideal, required by the Left Hand Path takes a discipline which unvarnished materialistic atheism usually cannot begin to supply. In extremely rare cases is it possible? Yes. But again, not likely.
If Cthulhu Cultists wish to begin as atheists, then that is perfectly fine. However, the deeper a Cultist goes... all bets are off.
That is true. Only a nihilist believes that life is meaningless. Although, many Cultists believe that human life, as it is generally found, is virtually worthless. What good is a seed that does not take root? Does it have merit?
