1. Satan represents indulgence, instead of abstinence!
2. Satan represents vital existence, instead of spiritual pipe dreams!
3. Satan represents undefiled wisdom, insead of hypocritical self-deceit!
4. Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it, instead of love wasted on ingrates!
5. Satan represents vengeance, instead of turning the other cheek!
6. Satan represents responsibility to the responsible, instead of concern for psychic vampires!
7. Satan represents man as just another animanl, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk
on all-fours, who, because of his "divine spiritual and intellectual development," has become the most vicious animal of all!
8. Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification.
9. Satan has been the best friend the church has ever had, as he has kept it in business all these years!

The Nine Satanic Sins
by
Anton Szandor LaVey, 1987
1. Stupidity: The top of the list for Satanic sins. The Cardinal Sin of Satanism
2. Pretentiousness: On equal footing with stupidity for what keeps the money in circulation these days.
3. Solipsism: Instead, Do unto others as they do unto you.
4. Self-deceit: Another Cardinal Sin.
5. Herd Conformity: Only fools follow along with the herd and let an impersonal entity dictate to them.
6. Lack of Perspective: Do not be swayed by herd constraints.
7. Forgetfulness of Past Orthodoxies: Beware of being handed an old idea in a new package.
8. Counterproductive Pride: Learn to compromise when compromising is necessary.
9. Lack of Aesthetics: Have an eye for beauty and balance.
The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth
by Anton Szandor Lavey, 1967
1. Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
2. Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.
3. When in another's lair, show him respect or else do not go there.
4. If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
5. Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
6. Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries
out to be relieved.
7. Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you
deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.
8. Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
9. Do not harm little children.
10. Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.
11. When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not
stop, destroy him.
