The Satanic Chapters

Not to be confused with The Satanic Temple or Church Of Satan

The Satanic Chapters

The Satanic Chapters is a non-theistic religious organization dedicated to the religion of Satanism as mentioned and practised in The Sayings Of Satan. The Satanic Chapters was established in London on the 31st October during the end of Marhabana (A religious holiday).

Members do not believe that Satan literally exists and do not worship him. Instead, Satan is viewed as a positive figure embracing the Hebrew etymology of the word "Satan" as "adversary", who represents pride, human desires and all things considered "against" Abrahamic religions whether that be lust, LGBTQ+ Acceptance etc. In Dante's book, Sayings of Satan he describes how you can attribute Satan as a self projection of your own personality and not a big red guy with horns.

The TSC (The Satanic Chapters) describes its members’ basis as individualists who share in the same philosophy, the organization openly critiques other Satanic organizations such as The Satanic Temple and Order of the nine angles but do respect that Anton LaVey codified the religion of Satanism first and pay homage to that.

Beliefs

The Satanic Chapters does not believe in or worship the Devil or any notion of a physical Satan. Dante describes his members as "smart individuals who are not afraid to question the world around them" and "Truly embrace my philosophy". The Satanic Chapters also completely reject the authority of theistic Satanists, who believe Satan to be a real supernatural being that may be contacted or talked to, dubbing them "devil worshipers". The term theistic satanists has been dubbed as an "Oxymoron" by many members. The Satanic Chapters belief system is entirely fixated in the book "Sayings of Satan" which is available on their website over at TheSatanicChapters.com

Sins

• Stupidity

Yep we don't want any stupid people in our midst, if you like being wrapped up in your blanket and obeying whatever your TV says without doing any research then you are not a Satanist.

• Forgetting Past Religions

You must remember your journey to becoming a Satanist, people marvel in testimonies so why not also marvel in why you left.

• Blind Faith

Your belief should conform to the best scientific understanding of the world and should never be distorted to fit a certain faith.

• Forsaking

If someone does something for you and then asks you to do something for them which is of less or equal calibre you should do it.

• Not Hailing Satan

Satan emerges to be the main opposition to theistic belief, it is he who questions and denounces the inhuman practices and gives rise to your natural neurobiology.

• Bowing Down

Although pretty obvious from a Satanist lens, only fools adhere to the herd of the Theistic movement and let an impersonal deity rule you.

• Losing Sight on Yourself

Never lose sight of who you are and who you want to be, we are making history here with this religion and you are a part of it.

• Rape

Although this is stated in the rulings we must repeat it here for people to actually glance over a second time. Do not make sexual advances unless you are sure the other party wants your attention. Do not force yourself on another, if you do then you are a cowardly dog and should be neutered.

• Dishonesty of being a Satanist

If we are to believe the media then a Satanist, at their most benign is someone who wears black, wears a pentagram and worships the devil.. We know this isn't true so if someone asks you what your religion is, be honest and teach them about it.

• Hedonism

Although it's completely fine to enjoy your own pleasures, The Satanist recognises that indulgence isn't compulsion so you must be aware that if your pleasure involves another person then their consent must be given and respected.

• Impatience

If someone wants to learn Satanism, teach them. If they're being blatantly Satanphobic then walk away.

• Identity Shaming

If someone identifies as Gay, Trans or anything that doesn't go against “Sayings Of Satan” then they are accepted into our community and shall not be shamed or talked down to.
