Philosophies of Bliss: The Concept of Good and Evil.
*Good and Evil are concepts. Concepts are beliefs. Beliefs are preferences. Preference is freedom. Freedom is Bliss.
The choices in beliefs in life are yours to make. There are always organizations that cater to your desires and beliefs. Make sure that the organization represents what you feel in your heart. Do not be afraid of your life choices and follow those choices with conviction. If your path is one of endarkenment, then follow it whole-heartedly. Concepts cannot hurt you. You are free in this world to believe that whatever in this world makes you happy barring prosecutable acts is your ultimate reward. The brood as it stands is one of darker nature and opposite the norm. It believes in forces older than the earth itself and holds no value upon the names given the gods of Christianity by man. There is no "Christ" or "Beelzebub" in the brood. Those are outdated concepts. Although the writing of LaVey preached more of humanism than Satanism, yet still, who created Satan in the eyes of religious lore? Christians did with the goal of creating a villain for which to do battle with. For every great crusade must have something to crusade against. A villain to fight and to use to rally its troops to battle and suck its subjects into submission with the belief of a "greater" cause. How easy it is to simply take what humanity holds dear and place restrictions on it simply to try and create a cause and claim it is "just".
Delve into the psyche of most Christian beliefs. They feel that anything you enjoy is against "god", so therefore it must be bad. If it is bad, then it is not "Christ-like". Well I must admit, I am a man and not a "god" so in that instance, I believe it best that I should aspire to be more of an obtainable goal. Since I cannot be a "god" I should aspire to be the best "man" I can be and subsequently exercise my rights as a beast of nature and sentient wisdom in the same body.
Therefore, I should be allowed to react upon the human animalistic notions that my natural instincts have provided for me. This "god" did not make me with "godlike" thoughts and psyche, but with the instincts of the animals that we are.
