Yeah, you read the topic, now let me explain what i mean, its more site related. "Satanism" as stated in the site encyclopedia, is very for the lack of better words dumbed down, and not even competently factual:

 Quote:
LaVeyan Satanism is a religion founded in 1966 by Anton Szandor LaVey....


Satanism can broken down to many belief systems. Most of the beliefs and philosophy's that make Modern Satanism what it is, predate Anton LaVey. Even the term it's self predates LaVey, and has it's roots in history. If you agree the term or not, is neither here nor there. At the very least change the function to link to "LaVeyan Satanism, Modern Satanism, Symbolic......etc". The site prides it's self on it's intelligence, then use it. Don't label something that is green, as red simply to simplify for the color blind.

Maybe you should keep in mind that the encyclopedia only started some days ago and is still in its early steps. Of course certain things will not be included but there is a separate forum open for all suggestions or additions to any subject in the encyclopedia.
So if you have a different or better description for certain subjects or would like to see things added, there is the place to post about it.

There are no types of Satanism. Most Satanists do not recognize as legitimate the bevy of incoherent babble and theistic nonsense some would pass off as Satanism.

There is Satanism, and there is everything else.

And before you start bitching and whining about how you are entitled to the name Satanist as much as anyone else, let me be the first to invite you to shove your head clear up your ass into your colon.

LOL! Again with the babble! Have you ever talked to a "spiritual/theistic Satanist"? Do you know how closely related Luciferians are to contemporary Satanists? I invite you to lurk around my .ning group and see for yourself just how intelligent these people are. You may even be shocked at the harmless similarities.

Dan_Dread, this isn't a pissing contest, stop acting like a child. Legitimacy, has little to do with what I'm talking about. An encyclopedia is based on factual data, the term "Satanism" long predates LaVey. To simply omit or deny roots of the word isn't logical. Then its not a encyclopedia, simple right.

It's not a matter of absolute factual definitions of words. Sure by definition Satanism can mean many different things, and has been the label given by society to many different groups and activities. However, this is a site based around Modern Satanism, linked with the First Satanic Church and with a great deal of information already available in the forums. It's assumed that members here have at least looked up the subject matter, familiarised themselves with the forum, looked up the FSC and therefore are able to understand that there is a context. We don't say Satanist and mean "evil person" as they often do on forums such as Christian Net. The reason for the encyclopaedia is to provide people with a link to what Satanist means in the context we're using it.
