We can argue cults all day, that doesnt mean they are Satanists. Was Crowley a satanist? I in no way meant Lavey started anything aside from the commercial side of satanism. Most satanists do not even like LaVey because of this.
I'm talking about modern Satanism as is defined by the books on it. I dont even really like LaVey. Why bring up ancient cults and things? That doesnt apply to modern Satanists, those were evil cults, nothing to do with Satanism. Did they write Satan on the walls or on their shields? No. Lucifer? Did they carve the Baphomet into their arms? No. Very diferent things. Im talking about modern Satanists dude, this isnt a discussion on black cults of the Ancients.
Darkness was before light, so of course the black attitude has been around equally as long.
To compare people who wanted to kill christians becasuse of persecution and modern people who treat Satanism more as a philosophy is truely ignorant.
Philososphy vs Witchcraft and Black Arts.
Nothing more than sexual urges and violence. Crowley tried to bring that back. And failed.
The goat is where its at.

Dude. You really don't seem to get it.
There are still many people today who worship Satan, call themselves Satanists and perform rituals based on those old cults.
You say the "modern" satanism has nothing to do with witchcraft and such. You do realize where the symbols of which the baphomet consists come from right?
The satanism you are talking about has borrowed a lot of symbolism from many different sources.
Sure, it's essentially something completely different, but that doesn't change the fact that those oldschool satanist cults were there long before LaVey's "Church of Satan", and still exist today.
Why exactly would the "official" Church of Satan have any effect on that?
Furthermore, the satanists talked about in the article are most likely part of the satanist groups I talked about. You may be talking about LaVey & co, but they have very little to do with the subject at hand.
