***Disclaimer:  Just because I post certain quotes does NOT mean that I necessarily believe in them.  Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.  I will never tell.  *lol*  I do try to find quotes that are 'thought-worthy".  I think a lot of times people mistake the quotes that we all post as our own words.  Just thought I should clear that up.  I feel it's unfortunate that I had to use this particular journal to do so as I'm sure that many will find it to be a reflection of my opinion on the beliefs of Satanists.  It is NOT!*** 

 “Every religion in the world that has destroyed people is based on love” ~ Anton LaVey

 

“It's too bad that stupidity isn't painful.” ~ Anton LaVey

 “A friend of mine who was a founding father of the Church of Satan, who later I compared notes with, said when he was a kid, he too managed to get into Sally's Nude Ranch, and in the corral he saw his Sunday school teacher!!! That was a real epiphany for him. From that moment on he was a Satanist.” ~Anton LaVey

“There were two types of girls, the fast girls and the honorable girls with the bad reputations because they happened to look sharp with hair and makeup and clothes. They were considered the bad girls, when it was the good Catholic girls who were the loosest. Appearances were deceptive then.”  ~Anton LaVey

“Do what you want as long as it's paying off for you. But once it's become a liability, then something is wrong and you better find out what it is.” ~Anton LaVey

“Yeah, well, I'm crazy, but I'm not stupid, hopefully. And I think we're all a bit crazy if we do anything that's deviant. I've studied a great deal on deviance and aberrant behavior. Most of the interesting people I've ever met have been deviant in one form or another.”  ~Anton LaVey

“But the average person doesn't have that much imagination. They just want to be entertained. They want to have the tableau presented for them. They don't want to participate beyond a certain point. They want the safety of the herd, to be catered to, sit back and enjoy.” ~Anton LaVey

“My parents were lenient. My mother believed God was another word for nature. I took up Satanism not out of desperation, but out of logic. I rebelled, not but because of a religious or repressive childhood.” ~Anton LaVey

“We are so inculcated with guilt that we think that weakness is a sin or that it is some crime against nature to be submissive.”  ~Anton LaVey

“There is no heaven, there is no hell, except here on Earth.” ~Anton LaVey

“Hopefully by bringing back burlesque, you'll bring back the kind of body that's round on top and round on bottom. I love cellulite and stretch marks!” ~Anton LaVey

Anton Szandor LaVey, born Howard Stanton Levey[1][2] (April 11, 1930October 29, 1997) was the founder and High Priest of the Church of Satan as well as a writer, occultist, musician, and actor. He was the author of The Satanic Bible and the founder of LaVeyan Satanism, a synthesized system of his understanding of human nature and the insights of philosophers who advocated materialism and individualism, for which he claimed no "supernatural inspiration”. LaVey viewed "Satan" not as a literal deity or entity, but as a historic and literary figure symbolic of Earthly values.

These are great!  LaVey makes a lot a of good points, even though most people will dismiss anything he says.........

I may not agree with his position, but he is very interesting nonetheless!
