Why do Satanists sacrifice animals when God is the one who demanded his servants to kill animals in his name, the Devil never did.?

LaVeyan Satanists are not evil like people think, and they are elite atheists with hedonism. All you need to know is in the Satanic Bible by Anton LaVey who is the founder of Satanism. They love kids and animals and the law. They do not pray or plead or wish they as Black Magicians demand their WILL and command their desires from the forces of darkness.

Quote from famous musician, Atheist and High ranking Church of Satan member and very close friend to Anton LaVey - King Diamond "Satanism is about the Powers of the Unknown. I have had hundreds of strange supernatural experiences with the occult, the other side, the beyond, whatever you want to call it that proves there is a spiritual world that can cross over into our world. Satanism is a life philosophy so within it you can have your own religion, any religion you want. Satan on a spiritual mystical level stands for the Powers of Darkness, the Powers of the Unknown which are always all around us at all times. This is the best way to talk about these Spirits and Powers.

Some people like to call "Them" God or the Devil or whatever, but I do not believe there is all one good power and one all bad power. I believe there are many, many different Spirits and Powers that exist and that they are not good or evil, like humans they have both inside of them and I always treat them with the highest amount of respect and feel that respect returned by Them. I believe we are one and the same me and these Unknown Forces. I believe they come to those who they feel can handle it and who will be faithful believers." In the song "Welcome Princess of Hell" you hear me singing to these spirits and powers and they sing back to me. They came to me to let me know they are here for me on my journey and that they are behind me and that they wish me good luck! We all live several lives so that our powers/souls can grow in order to reach a higher plane. Our powers live in a human shell several times before we are ready to move on to a new life form. 99 percent of the population live by the Satanic Philosophy whether they know it or not. As Anton LaVey even told me that Satanism is simply a life philosophy and NOT a religion.

Personally I do not use electrical lighting at home or in the studio when I record vocals, only black candles as electrical lighting drives away the spirits and I love having them near me. People who see Satanism from the Christian view point are not treating these powers with respect and that is very dangerous.

In Satanism you are your own God. LaVey felt and I agree that we are all individuals born with different needs and views and so he felt everyone should make up their own mind about what to believe in spiritually if anything at all which is why he left a huge void in the Satanic Bible when it came to spirituality or any kind of religious beliefs and so within the Satanic Philosophy a person can still be a Christian if that fulfills their spiritual needs. Satan also means the Opposite, Inverted, Reversed which is why we wear the Satanic crosses. Satan means the opposite of religion. Satanism is living out your feelings and instincts without feeling it is a sin, enjoy yourself while you are here now while you can.

LaVey Church of Satan Rev. Thomas Thorn of the Electric Hellfire Club - " There is a spiritual dimension that communicates with us and there are powers and deities in this spiritual world. We use Satanic Rituals to summon, communicate with and make pacts with Demons that are real beings as well as other spirits. Not demons as evil fallen angels but as advanced beings who can help"

A Church of Satan member once called Americas Favorite Satanist talks about how he uses his ability to communicate with the spirit world to help solve cases and give accurate info to people during divination's that he does.

This is why the Books The Satanic Bible and the Satanic Rituals by Anton LaVey stress to treat these entities with respect as friends and companions and to be in league with these Powers and not use protective circles and pentagrams which insult these forces. And to use rituals to create sort of a relationship with these powers. Anton LaVey spent his life researching the occult, magic and the supernatural and was a ghost hunter. He said he created a glowing pentagram to attract these forces and did essays on the trapezoid which opens gateways to supernatural forces. As Anton LaVey himself said in books and video interviews he tried calling up spirits and demons using circles and names of God and Jesus for protection and it did not work so he knew he needed to then be on the side of the demons instead of using protection in order to call up Demons and gain magical powers and have things go his way. LaVey also said how Satanists thrive in the darkness surrounded by the Dark ones and the Infernal spirits. Anton LaVey was a ghost hunter and haunted and psychic investigator

Church of Satan video documentary "Satanis" many Satanic Church members were asked if they believe in a God or Powers and they said "Yes they do"

Satanic Priest Peter Gilmore - "Everyone behaves in a Satanic fashion and it is high time people recognize that. And we leave it up to each Satanist to decide if they believe in an after life or not"

The sacrifice of animals was a traditional cultural ritual to serve any god. If you go back in time, tribes use to sacrifice even children, humans and even themselves, was this ok? well in those times in their own human beliefs they thought it was a productive way to connect with any god. Therefore people blame the Christian God for sacrificing animals when all gods were given sacrifice of all types and kinds. God sent his son Jesus as the last sacrifice which was no animal, he was a human being and after his death sacrificing stopped because thats when the holy spirit takes place and now christians sacrifice with prayer dedication with a spiritual faith there is nothing else required to kill. Therefore satan does not sacrifice himself but does make people kill themselves and for eternal suffering instead, also still their animal sacrifice never stopped because there is no holy spirit but the spirit of evil and damage to the soul for nothing else than hell.

when u say satanists you mean santeria and voodoo. spiritualists like mediums, some paganist wicca witchcraft dont do animal sacrificing but do connect and call out for evil spirits to awaken. just be sure that people do know the difference of one from the others.

Animal sacrifice has been around for centuries for example in Voodoo animal sacrifice is common place in places like New Orleans or Miami animal control officers sometimes (on the holy holidays of Voodoo or Satanists) find dead black cats or find goats in allay ways with weird pouches around their necks. The Church of Satan wasn't created until the 1960s by Anton LaVey. But occults have been doing downright creepy stuff. Hitler was a devout occultist he used it to brainwash the masses, Alister Crowley (no one really knows what his real name was) has been dubbed the most evil man alive he changed his name so it would equal 666 (which of course is the number of the beast of Revelations)

The fact of the matter, satan wants to be like an an he is like God now he is in all the churches, satan comes as an angel of light an his ministers are ministers are ministers of righteousness, God Jesus Christ is separating the wheat from the tares, that is the good from the evil, an if your in the churches now then your a tare, the wicked one, satan is the father of lie an he has been a liar from the beginning, an the truth is not in him, read your bible an stay out of the churches, that is why it is written, judgment begins at the house of God an the house of God is the churches, God Jesus Christ spoke in parable an without a parable he did not speak, you have to really read the bible to understand this concept if not you will be deceived, im just paraphrasing it.

Troll. Satanists are elite atheists. Satanism is the ONLY religion that forbids harming animals and if you read the Satanic Bible you would know that and not like like such a fool

Satanists don't sacrifice animals. Learn before you make yourself look stupid.

I guess the devil is a good guy then since he wouldn't have you mutilating animals in his name but God does.

wait a sec, satanists actually believe in the devil now?

The Satanical viewpoint is I am God. You get this when you eat the tree of knowledge, or sniff some petrol.

as said before by another poster: it is a psychiatric tenet/ truism that most people in the world are actually quite barmy!

They don't. This is an urban legend.
