Royal Navy welcomes first ever Satanist on board
"The British Armed Forces has officially recognised its first registered Satanist, a newspaper reports.
Naval technician Chris Cranmer, 24, has been allowed to register by the captain of HMS Cumberland, based at Devonport Naval Base in Plymouth.
The move will mean that he will now be allowed to perform Satanic rituals on board the vessel."
Any thoughts?

That'll do nicely :thumb:
Shorly being a satanist celebrates Evil, dosnt it ? so a satanist would support aprove and attempt to carry out acts such as murder rape and child abuse.
Isnt that the case or am I about to hear a load of bollox
"no satanists are nice people its all misunderstood"
But their worshiping the devil which even though he dosnt exsist is still susposed to represent evil for evils sake, would they let a peodaphile aboad ship if he insisted on having his child porn with him ?
According to that article "Followers live by the Nine Satanic Statements, which include "Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence", "Satan represents vengeance instead of turning the other cheek" and "Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification".
Makes more sense to me than many Christian beliefs I must say...
:yes:
and why the hell not?
it didn't say he was evil or crazy..... he just believes that one should live their life without restrictions..
and if you think about it... i don't see why him being a satanist makes him any different than any other person.... everyone sins... and all sin is equivalent in God's eyes...
why am i not surprised that the "church" was started in America??
probably helps being in the army and being a satan worshipper and all
Satanism is not the worship of the Devil. In older times though, the church would write off everything none-christian as something of the Devil. People who went their own way were described as Satanists, and I guess that is why the movement has chosen that name.
Either way, I wouldn't describe it as evil, but rather as hedonistic. Which the above description also implies.
Satanism promotes self-respect in the way that you succumb to your urges and don't follow the usual moral-code which is implied through society.
That said they do have guidelines and are strictly against child-abuse and the likes. If anything they almost see children (as well as animals) as sacred as they follow their instincts and haven't been "brainwashed" by society yet.
When vandalism of churches in the name of Satanism have been made, then it is most ofently (if not always) commited by bored teenage boys.
Also, I can't remember his name right now, but the US had a high-standing military persona who was a devoted member of the CoS, which was commonly and openly known many many many years ago (before my birth).
He was probably hoping they'd chuck him out and give him compensation. Now he's got to follow through with it. Call his bluff I say.
i thought the article said that the church started in L.A. didnt' it??
Doesnt mean that satanism was started in the US, just that someone was bothered enough to make a church for the religion.
2. in fact i'd like to think that satanism and christianity share the drive to recruit more members not kill would be members.
what does satanism stand for. anyone know?
at school, we shared your beliefs and myself and my best mate would sit upwards when the rest knelt to pray. we'd sing the wrong verses off the hymm sheet smilling innocnently. or sometimes play bastard when the rest where saying amen. not really relevant- lol that doesn;t make me a satanist!! but i thought you probably had similar experiences 'morrocan roll'!!
There's a difference between satanism and devil worshipping. Essentially, satanism might be described as humanism - their doctrines are based on the idea that man alone is his own god and that his life is not predestined by some higher power. They have "anti-commandments" - stuff like "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger", etc. For the most part it makes a lot sense, though some would argue that it's morally corrosive since it could be argued that it advocates that man can do whatever the fuck he likes!
by Anton LaVey - check google you should be able to find the info.
1. Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence!
Indulgance... As in a 'sucessful' person should have money and thus be able to 'indulge' in expensive clothing, meals and cars...
2. Satan represents vital existence instead of spiritual pipe dreams!
See how science is conditioning us away from our spiritual side? If we're not crapping ourselves over what product causes cancer (instead of leaving it in God's hands), we're pissing around with genetics and building weaponry and continuing our lives without the morality of a spiritual philosophy or dictrine.
3. Satan represents undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit!
Wisdom is hard to define, knowledge is often debatable... Either way te West always seems to think it's right, as do other countries.
4. Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it instead of love wasted on ingrates!
Again, we can see ourselves becoming more like America. Rather than "each according to his need" it's "each according to his ability" (or the depth of his pocket).
5. Satan represents vengeance instead of turning the other cheek!
America have the death penalty, how long until we do?
6. Satan represents responsibility to the responsible instead of concern for psychic vampires!
Psychic vampires are people who draw energy from others by the way... who are the 'responsible'?
7. Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all-fours, who, because of his “divine spiritual and intellectual development,” has become the most vicious animal of all!
Cogito Ergo Sum?
These days we can grow human hearts in pigs and some of us are 'evolutionary psychologists', comparing ourselves to animals (I love this Satanic Statement).
8. Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!
This verse maybe not so much... Society still has its sins... still, the same rules probably don't apply to everybody.
9. Satan has been the best friend the Church has ever had, as He has kept it in business all these years!
Go Satan!
To me, Satanism is just human (in the Lavey sense)... I don't see why anybody has issues about it, after all at the end of the day... Who's right?
