The first inquiry every org. receives in bulk would have to be priesthood requirements.
This org. does not recognize the title "priest",nor any other title of religious hierarchy .Many of you belong to orgs w/priests/priestess and this is not an attempt to change your opinion if you support that sort of thing.
However we do owe you an explanation concerning our reasons for doing away w/these titles...
Satanism has always pushed the philosophy "Do what thou wilt"(-Aleister Crowley,Book of Law))then later added to,so to speak with "responsibility to the responsible"(Anton LaVey,Satanic Statements)for an assortment of obvious reasons,good rule btw.
"Do what thou wilt" is more than just a pretty string of words slung together.Its a Declaration of man's livelyhood &total independence of his own choices.
We strongly feel that hierarchy boths cheapens and takes from that freedom.
Afterall we as Satanists are supposed to be shining examples of the free man/woman,are we not?
Telling a free man/woman how to think,what one should do,etc...basically presenting authority where one in actuality has none as pertaining to a free spirit,runs against the grain.
Besides,truth be known,man has enough "bosses" to answere to all through his work week,lol,the last thing he needs is another chalked onto the pile after the day is through.
This title as applied to todays philosophies(esp.in todays ecclectic minds)has no bearing whatsoever,tis' sheer
novelty or more plainly put,<the room coughs>;"bull-sh-it..bull-sh-it"thanx peeps;) .We as Satanists are capable of thinking/seeing things for ourselves,in fact our philosophy commands this of us!
We are brothers & sisters not parents& children.
This org. will need its official representatives,but as for priests,no thanks.
I hear some still saying,"so"?
Well since we do not take the "priest" title serious we 're gonna help you out here.Still wanna be a Satanic priest eh?
Below is a link to the Spiritual Humanism(.org)organization.
They are legitamate,and fall pretty close to Satanism on quite afew aspects(so you wont have a prob. clicking the "ordain me" button,lol).
Within minutes you can be LEGALLY ordained,mind you this means you are free to LEGALLY marry or bury anyone you wish all in the name of Satan if you choose.
However,dont expect us to start refering to you as priest,rev. etc...lol(hint;this is where alot of Satanists proclaiming themselves legal priests go.Technically they are...and now so can you,lol!)
Im a Satanist I bend my knee to noone but myself & Father(be he metaphysical or metaphorical).
