Righteous Satan

Introduction:
Some theologies and theories that place Satan as saviour, releaser and defender of righteousness, and the White Light God as oppressor and Evil. These are common themes in Satanic music, and are also present in nearly all schools of thought that are labelled as Devil Worship. There is no known historical group that accepts the White Light definition of God and Satan and also worships Satan within that dualistic context.

Non-Dualistic:
1. Modern LaVey Satanism - Satan is a concept
2. Satan is the Dark Lord - Satan is a real entity

   Dualistic:

3. Satan is the victor - Satan is stronger
4. The powerful white light God is Evil - Satan is Righteous

   Universal themes:

5. White Light causes imbalance and evil

1. Modern LaVey Satanism
Satan is a concept

Non-dualist, Satan is reality, a dark force that permeates all nature and life. An unseen, unconscious principle, lending itself to elitism, survival and grace. This is definitely the most sensible and useful belief on the Left Hand Path, and is the stance that the Church of Satan takes.

• Who is Satan? - concepts of Satan in modern Satanism
• Satan is the dark force in nature

The rest of this essay describes non-mainstream beliefs which are not all compatible with 'normal' atheistic Satanism.

2. Satan is the Dark Lord
Satan is a real entity

Satan is a real being, a living, conscious being. He may be like Gaia, a Universe-consciousness made up of the endless cold void of space and every living thing in it. He may be a semi-omnipotent being that lives in the Universe, and is the Universes avatar or guardian.

In both cases, Satan is the cycle of death, ultimate entropy and both the force of decay and the light of life. Satan, and all the demons and devils of history and theology represent the harsh reality of life. Mankind's belief in White Light concepts are people who are unable to accept their own death, and mistake the Dark Force, the Unseen One, as being someone who can free them from the threat of death. This... is not true, and such people are deluded, and need their beliefs to remain happy.

This pantheist Satan cannot answer prayer or make you feel good, it is the complete living and dying world, and it is downright nasty. Some groups have a belief that this being can be communicated with, that it can bestow power and inherent wisdom on those who seek it, as long as they perceive it as it is:- a dark force in nature, the dark everlasting spirit of the universe, and not White Light benevolent God.

3. Satan is the victor
Satan is strongest principal

This is the dualist belief that Satan, the Dark Lord, is the strongest supernatural being (of which there are at least 2). Satan is the true Lord, those who believe in him live a life that is true and more coherent than those who deny that he is the strongest.

Evil Satan as Victor
Truly fearsome is the belief that this strongest force is also the Evil component of a cosmic dualistic battle between Good and Evil. This belief is the most hated within Satanism and outside of Satanism, and is the equivalent of evil Christian Fundamentalism. The Dark Lord has to be revered, or, at the time when he manifests and conquers the Earth, all those who do not accept him will be killed. Simple as that... this belief is the diametrically opposite Satanic belief system to the Church of Satan.

Called "Black Sheep" within the Satanic community, adherents are normally considered rebellious Christians and young or stupid. But some adherents do not seem to fit this stereotype at all, there being old and young adherents both of whom have had no Christian upbringing to rebel against.

Non-Evil Satan
But note that not all dualistic Satanists believe that Satan is the Evil component of a cosmic duality.

4. The powerful white light God is Evil
Satan is Righteous

A dominant theme in dualistic Satanic literature is the feeling that God and Satan are not what they appear to be. There is a strong belief in nearly all Satanic thought (except Evil Satan As Victor as above) that if Satan is real, then he is also not what White Light religions make him out to be.

Satan therefore represents a struggle against tyranny and a fight against the brainwashed masses and the unthinking, cruel and punishing hordes of mankind that follow the Right Hand Path: The bloody path of God worship. God, as a powerful White-Light force, has tricked and deluded mankind into accepting its gospel truth, and to put it simply: The majority of mankind are too stupid, fearful, weak and sheep-like to ever realize that they are following the wrong god.

God can only use below the belt tactics to spread lies and corruption, spreading his monotheistic religions that have been the center of bloodshed and evil and using all his powers to trick humanity. However... such tricks only work on the sheep, the mindless hordes. Nevertheless, those who represent truth, the oppressed and alien elite, either face a life of being hidden outcasts and secret aliens in society, or face a difficult struggle against the foolish herds of man.

Satan is this context is most similar to Lucifer, who brings enlightenment and intelligence.

Fighting for truth is much harder than spreading lies, which is why the world remains (and will always remain) biased against the Left Hand Path: The infernal path of the intelligent, strong and those vital forces of life that prevent mankind from slipping into a permanent dark age. The Bible, The Koran, all white light institutions are signs of the stupidity and gullible nature of man, and all represent death, bloodshed and pallid incompetence. Most of man is washed away in lies, and the few prophets and upkeepers of the truth, are hated and feared.

The Righteous Satan style of thought also associates many non-mainstream groups as being a force for good, so that many groups are considered allies such as freethinkers, athiests, humanists, and members of most Left Hand Path groups. All these individuals are considered powerful and strong, and therefore feared by the weaker force of lies that is God's domain, as deceit is inherently weaker and more temporary than truth.

Sometimes, Jesus, Buddha and other spiritual people/myths are considered good, but that stupidity and lies (such as The Koran, The Holy Bible, the Christian Churches) have been propagated so much that we no longer know what their true messages were.

Satan is the champion of the alienated

"Those who are outcast, those who are different, individual and alienated by the superstitious, xenophobic, bigoted and hateful actions of the communities of the religions... Satan is the banner under which we oppose this hypocrisy of the White Light religions.

Under Satan are those who were once rejected (and are now their own masters). Under Satan also are those who are self alienated. Those who have risen above, the Alien Elite and the hidden, patient rebels. All sides, both the weak who were defenceless against Christian and Muslim numerical superiority, and the strong who monotheism cannot destroy... the Left Hand Path is beckoning. "

5. White Light causes imbalance and evil
A universal theme

"White light religions such as Christianity and Islam and any religion where the basic concept is "we represent the force of good" is inherently imbalanced [...] Accepting that all altruism is long term selifshness and that any good motive is based on carnal, animal instinct is an essential part of our emotional honesty. Without this we are not in touch with ourselves and we become less understanding of our motivations and desires. Without self understanding there is less control and increase stupidity: This kind of stupidity leads to cause evil and foolishness"

Vexen Crabtree, "White Light Religions and Other Religions" 2002 Sep 09

In all the beliefs listed on this page God is seen in the same way: It is Evil, an oppressor, enemy, conscious being, who must be resisted, whose biggest lie and source of power is that he stands for "good deeds only", a White Light concept that leads to evil, counterproductive pride, destruction and stupidity. As the majority of mankind is weak minded and feel they are worthless they will accept anything that tells them they are worth something: And the attention of some comsic karmic judge is a great compliment.

'The Satanic Mind is Balanced' is a look at what constitutes a natural and normal mental outlook from a Satanic point of view and a comparison of how white light ideals distort this balance.
