I'd totally forgotten I posted this here, thanks for the reminder!
My keyboard isn't working at the moment (I'm having to copy and paste 'n', 'b', and 'space' into everything I type...what a pain), so for now I'll have to be brief, though I'd like to maybe discuss this a little more in the future.
The ideas you brought up are very interesting, and I certainly agree with them. Especially concerning Satanism's self-limitation in that it's decidedly anti-Christian. I suppose I should clarify by saying that while I truly believe many of the thoughts and ideas that LaVey puts forth, I definitely don't agree with the anti-Judeochristian theme. Even though years of mental and physical abuse from *so-called* Christians (not the "true", "good" Christians) certainly would give me reason to be quite the "antichrist". I guess I'm just too level-headed for all that. Certainly not worth my time and energy to think ill of an entire group because of the reprehensile actions of a few.
The Temple of Set is something I really haven't looked much into, but now I certainly will. I was introduced to Satanism in my teens by a militant LaVeyian--she didn't care much for the ToS, from what I gathered.
Just wondering, are there any other books you think are good concerning (roughly) this subject matter?
