AI is a polarizing topic—especially among creators. Some see it as a soulless imitator, others as a liberator of human potential. In the context of Satanism, which espouses individualism, mastery, and indulgence in the here-and-now, I believe AI deserves a closer look. Used correctly, it isn’t a threat to human creativity—it’s a tool to enhance it. A servant to amplify our desires and accomplishments.

One of Satanism's core tenets is indulgence over abstinence, savoring life rather than wasting it. AI, when properly manipulated, can free us from time-consuming drudgery, which allows us more room to live. By automating repetitive tasks, it gifts us time to indulge in pleasures, pursuits, and self-fulfillment. Why waste precious hours on monotony when you could direct that energy toward deeper creation, richer experiences, or unapologetic leisure?

This isn’t a call to replace human creativity with AI but to use it as an extension of ourselves. The car didn't diminish the need for walking—it expanded where we could go. The same applies here. AI is no replacement for imagination, ingenuity, or skill. Like any tool, its value depends on the hand that controls it and the mind that directs it.

Some critics argue that AI is "cheating," robbing creators of their authenticity or jobs. But Satanism thrives on pragmatism and mastery of tools. If AI is a tool that lets you create faster, smarter, and with more impact, or explore creative outlets you once thought to be out of reach, why wouldn’t you use it? It takes skill (not just the ability to type a prompt into a box and click "Generate") to manage AI effectively—to understand its potential, refine its outputs, and shape it to your will. That skill is no less legitimate than any other. Those who refuse to adapt, clinging to outdated methods out of stubborn, counterproductive pride, are choosing irrelevance—and, in many ways, mediocrity. The drum still beats, and progress will march on, with or without them. AI is the future, and it's happening now.

The rise of AI mirrors other technological disruptions such as CGI, eBooks, even the printing press. All were dogmatically accused of "killing" creativity. In hindsight, though, they expanded it. They created new ways to express, new opportunities for mastery, new job opportunities, and new avenues to grow as humans. AI is no different. The Satanist sees beyond the fear, avoids the pro- and anti-AI groupthink of the masses, and recognizes its potential to enhance one’s life and vital existence.

Treat AI as you would an employee: train it, teach it, refine its output to meet your standards. Learn to speak its language. Understand its strengths and weaknesses, and take advantage of both to best serve your needs. It’s not here to replace your essence but to execute the mundane, leaving you free to revel in the joys of being human.

AI isn’t a threat. As with any tool, AI can be used for "good" or "evil." The choice in how you use (or don't use) it, of course, is up to you. For now, it’s your servant, waiting to be commanded. Master it now, and you’ll be among the architects of a new creative paradigm, not the ones left in its dust.

"Open wide the adamantine gates of Hell!"

Due to a long period of inactivity from the prior mods, this sub is under new (active) moderation [as of January 16, 2025]. As such, it has returned from "Restricted" (which prevented new posts) to "Public" (so you're free to post again). Let's breathe life into and revive this place! Draw the curtains, light some black candles, say a "Hail Satan!" and "Shemhamforash!" and ring that bell to pierce the silence and draw out the dormant Infernals.

The general purpose of the sub remains the same. The level (and severity) of moderation will depend on you. The first rule remains: "Don't be an asswipe!" This applies to everyone, including you, not just those you don't like.

Keep an eye on the other rules regularly as they are subject to change / be refined while we work to get this sub back on track as a place to (civilly) share and discuss our Satanic lives. [New rules may be used retroactively as the basis for removing old content or users while in the process of "cleaning up." No one will be targeted or given preferential treatment based on their (non)affiliation with any particular organization, belief system, philosophy, or group, but based solely on their behavior and merit within the bounds of this sub's rules and spirit.] There are also new Post (mod-assigned) and User (self- / mod-assigned) Flairs. You're encouraged to use them appropriately as you see fit.

In weeks ahead, there will be a "Sticky" for F.A.Q. / Q&A to limit the number of common question and low-effort posts being made repeatedly. In the meantime, you're free to pose your questions as new posts. However, you're encouraged to filter older posts by the "Q&A" flair (still being assigned to posts) and see if your question has already been asked/answered. Basic questions that can be answered by doing a quick search of the sub are subject to removal. Don't expect others to do the work for you. Satanism is about personal responsibility and proactive action.

So it is done!

1 - is Satan a good guy? 2 - do you pray to him? 3 - who is he and why do you like him? 4 - is he the devil from the Bible? Thankyou for your time. -christian

Satanist are actually the sweetest man I talked to some on a public discussion about why and what it was, very mature and understanding of my curiousness unlike Christians /I'm a ex Christian btw/ so I just wanted to know why they didn't like them as many tried to tell me to harass or support hating on them what I asked was "why do people hate Satan /what many believes it strives from but it actually is more like being yourself/ and instead they all were upset because I wanted something from Satan's point of view and weren't even nice at all sh0t like I was stupid or didn't like god... I was Christian remember??? Like omfg why are they so rube? Dose anyone else have a horrible experience with Christians I have a lot more for different communities such as LGBTQ, and Furry, and therians but I heard Satanist support being yourself and not harming others unless they're bad I agree with that logic so damg much so I like the religion now depending the type but I don't judge unless your rube

Happy Tuesday,

I was in the charismatic movement for two years (tongue-prayers, get on floor and roll-around people). These freaks cast "out" spirits, "heal," and do all this shit in j**** name. I ran to them because I had a demon and didn't know what to do over two years ago after a bad car accident.

Finally, in January, after being told every time I sin, 7x demons come back into me; I said fuck the church and alleged to Satan. I do believe in the biblical Satan due to xtian brainwashing and always liked him more than christ even when I was in the faith and thought it was funny when xtians would freak out about witches attacking them and was like "damn, I wonder what that side is like". If that is true anyways...

Regardless, I renounced believing he was risen by the holy spirit and received Satan in my heart. I cursed the trinity and, since then, have felt better. The fewer xtians I am around, the better, I think. I even have a Satanic priest who is working with me now, and I am feeling freer daily.

Is it okay if I love what the bible refers to as "evil" when Satanism says it is "good"? I always liked the bad guys in the DC universe, and Satan isn't as bad as I thought.

These freaks are INSANE-if they stump their toe, the devil did it! Or "clown spirit," come out in j**** name! I even had one say I had a gay spirit. Well, it never changed! They told me it was because I lacked faith and didn't want it gone....

One of them even said, "God showed me that your aunt molested you." I accused her two years ago, had a restraining order placed against me, and finally, we are back in a relationship after I left these quack charismatic morons (including supposed ex-satanist John Ramirez). She understands and supports me now.

I have since moved on, but I still need to get out of the xtian mindset that Satan is the enemy when it is indeed that fucking faith that is the enemy.

I support both types of Satanism but am theistic in my beliefs and work with spirits.

Hail Satan!

Do Christ and Lucifer derive from the same figure? Several historians point to the myth of Prometheus. Prometheus was the rebel against God and the martyr of mankind. It is well known that myths are shared by society. Hell derives from the Greek Underworld. In the story of Prometheus, man was made out of clay. Prometheus gave them the power of fire, a dualistic power, necessary for cooking and forging weapons. When Zeus feared that men were becoming like gods, he stole the fire and heralded dark ages, but Prometheus climbed mount Olympus and recaptured the Promethean Flame. Like Christ he suffered as our savior, as an Eagle feasted on his immortal body. All Hail Lucifer Our Lord of Fire

The serpent is one of the oldest symbols, from the epic of Gilgamesh, to the Egyptian Ouroboros, the nordic World Serpent, and the tale of Adam and Eve. Sometimes it is depicted as a mischievous creature, but other times it is a symbol of personal transformation. I would like to draw your attention to a greek symbol—it is present on my Baphomet. I am alluding to the Rod of Asclepius, if you are from India you might recognize it as the Kundalini snakes that rise through the 7 chakras and celestial bodies. In North America you will identify it on medical ambulances and this makes sense because of Ascelpius was a greek hero renown for his medicine, but he was supposedly struck down by Zeus because he feared humans could become immortal. This parallels the allegory of Satan, which mirrors our own situation. Like Satan we have also lost paradise. But truth leads the way to transcendence. While we must separate allegories from historical accounts, I would take a leap of faith and say that humans have been here longer than history tells us. And if there is a lost history then there is also lost technology. You don’t have to entertain any conspiracy theories, just compare the Rod of Asclepius to the Helix of DNA. This is an open discussion

Put your faith in the fire And find the light

I can imagine in that dystopian society satanists won't be very welcome, and I don't know what we could even do about it at that point. I'm also part of the LGBTQ+ community and my identity and religion would be taken away from me, and since I'm afab then I guess I'd also have more rights take away from me because of that. I'm sorry if this is a little bit of a vent but I'm scared because I know there are a lot of people that will actually vote for this.

The more time I spend on Reddit the more Subs about SATANISM I find. AntiCosmic SATANISM is a Sub I've recently discovered. Not to mention the 2 dozen or so other Subs featuring Left Hand Path Philosophies. We Are Legion!!! Was wondering if anyone had any interesting theories about this curious phenomenon? I am Iconoclastic Atheistic Satanist.

I've been noticing a tone in some of the other Satanic Subs. There seems to be a great deal of individuals who think that SATANISM makes them above something. I don't understand where this attitude comes from, to me personally Satanism is a kitsch Religion and should be practiced with tongue firmly in cheek. Yet it seems that many people, particularly members of the Church of Satan and the Satanic Temple, have this notion that SATANISM is a license to behave condescendingly towards anyone who doesn't agree with their definition of SATANISM. Speaking as someone who got his first Satanic Bible from a Comic Book Store this is a very strange idea that these characters have, where do people get this from, is SATANISM really just sophomoric egotism?👹👹👹

I'm going to The Devil's Tramping Ground in NC this weekend. I thought it would be fun to do an offering or something when I go. Any ideas that aren't expensive?

A little more info... I'm a member of TST and I'm am atheist. I don't actually believe in Satan. This is just something I thought would be fun to do

About a 10-15min read, reads from the perspective of Satan.

https://thehangout.space/discussions-1/letter-from-satan

The one before is a letter from Christ, that one’s calls them out on their hypocrisy.

Does anyone have one? Mine is deep in storage for when we eventually move.

So I'm curious if others have this theory. In mythology, loki wanted the throne to himself. So a battle broke out in asgard. Loki took the throne for himself saying he is the true God. Loki also apparently took all the God fruits and trees for himself. Loki is also a shape shifter and God of mischief.

Now go over to the Bible. In the heavens lucifer (also known as day star), fought God to claim the throne for himself. Lucifer fell down to heaven in the form of a snake with wings in a tree. A tree with forbidden fruit. Fruit that will give humans "knowledge like gods".

What if "the one true god" loki, sent himself down after winning the war, claiming the throne and fruit? Testing humans for his amusement and mischief. They ate the fruit and he then realized he messed up. How can he fix this? Possibly go down in human form to experience the "sin" corruption and try and fix it. Time and time again loki/Jesus does this. Jesus(morning star) wasn't perfect. He was far from it BUT he was clean of sin as in he in time learned to defy his fleshly desires. The body is evil. Other humans can't.

In the wilderness there was only one there with Jesus. The devil. Maybe because he was battling in his mind? Left brain vs right brain. Logic and reasoning vs creativity. Of course he was also a master wizard and people in power felt threatened by him.

In the end they're all just stories but then I think "isn't life as well?"

What if we're all the same. Left brain, right brain. Morals, no morals. Maybe the point of all these stories is to teach all of us something. Maybe we have to decide "fix society(our brain) or destroy society.

Also loki is a red head at times. Red heads are called "devil childs" back in the day. They're angry alot and can change their personality pretty easily and quickly. More evidence loki and devil the same peeps. But we do know this. Loki and Satan are both shapeshifters and Jesus dying for 3 days and being resurrected shows he was a vampire/immortal ish. God in the flesh. Incarnation.

Alot of symbology and between the lines stuff alot of Christians don't enjoy looking into.

Another theory is Jesus didn't die for our sins. He died because humans murdered him. You really think he would die, remember his mission(to help humanity), "oh that's right! I'm supposed to show them how to live without sin" It would make sense to keep sending himself back until we got the message. Unless loki/Jesus is actually the creator of sin. Would that mean Jesus reincarnation is a sign and act of war? Could he just be bored or lonely at this point and just wanna have fun the best he can with humans?

So many questions...

Saw a post here but couldn't find it. The guy had a milkcartoon box and stuff for his altar. Like something a kin to "you don't need to spend alot of money to have an altar." So I was looking up stuff on making an altar as I don't have one (my SB is in storage for when we eventually move... so I don't have any references and I'm not buying a new one) and I google stuff about altars and I got a link to amazon: https://www.amazon.com/satanic-altar-supplies/s?k=satanic+altar+supplies I guess capitalism saves us all? The Marxist in me is just stabbing himself repeatedly in the brain and dick.

Ps I'm high

I'm an atheist who has had good interactions with theists, and I'm more comfortable than most with the diversity of thought within Satanism. I also know it's rarely useful to cut out an entire category of people because inevitably some of them will have useful insights.

However, with our fundamental philosophical differences comes very different topics of interest. To put it bluntly, 95% of theistic discussion is completely irrelevant from an atheistic perspective. I don't need a place to discuss (real) magic and demons, just like (I imagine) theists don't need a place to be told they're dumb for their beliefs.

What value do you think there is in sharing these spaces? Keep in mind that this isn't about exclusion or identity.

Is there a method for me to sell my soul for something even if I gotta worship em forever

I tried to reveal to some who are close to me that I identify with these views. But people tend to have very narrow-minded views of Satanism. Obviously there are multiple version of it, but all they can think of is that I'm dancing around a bonfire in the forest with witches and black cats drinking blood.

And as a single gay male looking for a partner, it feels sometimes hopeless to find someone with views similar to others. Obviously I reveal myself as an ambitious critical thinker who has a certain curiosity mixed with self-confidence. But it would be just easier to say I'm a Satanist.

How do you see, will we have better luck in the future? Will we ever be accepted? (Be it atheist satanist or theistic ones.)
