Laila Roth (Viviane d'Avalon)
lord of the universe
Satanism as humanism
Christianity conquered the world
by replacing the Roman Empire
with an absolutist dogmatist church
that stamped everything non-mainstream as heretic,
outlawing all personal independent thinking
with only horrible torture and death as penalty.
Thus people all over the world who would not be baptized
were beheaded or committed to the flames,
and there was no choice but acceptance of slavery or death.
Islam followed suit as originally a Christian-Jewish sect
which eventually disposed of the Jews
and then tried to dispose of the Christians,
expanding by ’holy war’ against all ’non-believers’,
burning and ruining all that would not submit.
Satanism was never like that,
Satan never incarnated, never sent a prophet,
never caused an establishment,
never resorted to violence,
never implemented any conversion by force
but was even content with remaining exiled in Hell,
which ultimately proved a better place than man’s hell on earth.
Unlike Christ and Mahomet, Satan always remained a spirit only
like all the other angels, but unlike them
he was a fallen angel and therefore human.
As a pacifist spiritualism opposing all power,
refraining from destructive greed and obsessive possesiveness,
satanism emerges as the sound alternative to Christianity and Islam
and all the dogmatic failures of any human ideology,
and Satan, the most defamed and humiliated of all spirits
appears more human than any other god or angel.
And thus satanism becomes a humanism,
which is proved by Dante Alighieri,
the most accomplished of all poets,
who came closer to Satan than anybody else
but only by his consummate poetry of love.
