Satanic Statements

[alice in chains]

The intent of this thread is to see if this can sway what anyone thinks about anything. Choose and discuss and debate anyone of these statements and provide feedback and why you think what you do. I'm not a Satanist but have to admit these rules are pretty brilliant!

What do you all think?

The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth

I Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.

II Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure that they want to hear them.

III When in another's lair, show him respect or else do not go there.

IV If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.

V Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.

VI Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the person and he cries out to be relieved.

VII Acknowledge the power of magic if you have used it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.

VIII Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.

IX Do not harm little children.

X Do not kill non-human animals unless attacked or for your food.

XI When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.

XI When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.

This could be taken in many different ways. Actually ... it almost sounds like something Niccolo Machiavelli would have said.

I Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.

II Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure that they want to hear them.

These are actually something that I generally follow. Except here on the forum ... LOL, but I guess since it is a forum its ok. Typically, I tend not to offer an opinion unless asked since many people like to just vent or if they are offering information then I just take it as just that ... information. Not fact ... just information. I typically won't express my troubles to people unless they are good friends or if someone asks, "What is wrong?"

IV If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.

This one is a bit too uncivilized for my liking. If someone is in my "lair" and is annoying me, I would just have them leave.

8. Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!

This is pretty short sighted, in my opinion. While most of the "sins" will give short term gratification ... long term might not be so gratifying.
