Ok...if your lecture is about the Black Mass specifically, it is intended to ridicule the catholic mass; that being said, everything is opposite the catholic mass (i.e. instead of praising god, they praise Satan, etc. etc.)
Depending on the tradition of Satanism the particular Satanist follows, you will get different answers. Almost universally, however, Satanism is self-focussed in that it encourages the individual to become the best they can be for themselves & be proud of it; this is in stark opposition to the judeo-christian ideas of humility & self-loathing encouraged in their scriptures.
As to humans being the worst creatures out there due to the holy spirit. I think you are mixing up two different references. Anton LaVey makes the statement in the Satanic Bible that '...man is an animal like any other, sometimes better, but often worse than those that walk on four legs...' I believe he was making reference to the fact that humans are capable of committing atrocities that no other animal could ever conceive of.
You have to keep in mind that the Black Mass in its original form was not meant to be taken seriously. It was intended purely as satire of catholicism. I hope this helps a bit.

There are different varieties of Satanism. Theistic Satanism believes that Satan is an actual being who helps his believers become gods like him. LaVeyan Satanism is atheistic satanism, because LaVeyan Satanists, who claim to be the only "true" satanists, do not believe in supernatural beings of any kind. For them, Satan is a symbol of the carnality of man, and the Black Mass is nothing more than a silly superstitious inversion of Christianity. "The Satanic Bible" was written by Anton Szandor LaVey, not Alistair Crowley, and will tell you all you need to know about modern satanism.

You do might desire to take each thing right here with a great grain of salt. There are, regrettably, lots of people who do not understand what they're conversing approximately. i will relatively understand why you have been perplexed via all that. Wicca is a admired polytheistic faith frequently (yet not continually) honoring historic pagan deities. devil has not something to do with it. Wiccans do not even have faith in devil. Wicca became additionally motivated via magical businesses like the Golden dawn, which in turn have been motivated via Christian-based magical ideals, however the especially Christian bits weren't the bits borrowed. Wicca has no angels and does not artwork in Hebrew or Latin, to illustrate. Paganism isn't a particular concept. The term refers to something not Judeo-Christian. So there is relatively no such component as "real Paganism." surely, i'm uncertain the thank you to describe how Satanism and Wicca are relatively distinctive. they're completely distinctive religions. it relatively is like asking how Shinto and Catholicism are relatively distinctive.

Satan doesn't think we humans are the worst of creatures as he is the one who created humanity to begin with. If you want to know about the traditions and basics of Satanism I suggest you read this website, it will most likely answer all of your questions about Satanism.

answer: www.churchofsatan.com for LaVey type Satanism (who don't believe in any deities).
http://www.theisticsatanism.com/index.html
for theistic Satanism. You'll probably want to go with the second link, it's closer to what you believe Satanism is (but you'll be surprised)
or try and hit websites on Devil Worship - that's what you're talking about.

O ye who believe! follow not SATAN's footsteps: if any will follow the footsteps of SATAN, he will (but) command what is shameful and wrong: and were it not for the grace and mercy of Allah on you, not one of you would ever have been pure: but Allah doth purify whom He pleases: and Allah is One Who hears and knows (all things).

You need to go to the library and check out The Satanic Bible by Allistar Crowley or books by the guy with a name Antoine Levy it's called 13 Days, I think. It will tell you everything you need to know. Satanists are losers.
