I have read many threads to which you have replied and you have often made the point that you are a satanist. I am wondering, as I am sure many others on this forum are, what exactly your religion involves. I appreciate there are many prejudices against satanism, though no one knows anything about it. It is a religion I know very little of, but something I have always wanted to find out about because many people (including myself) are ignorant of it. I would love to know a little about your beliefs and lifestyle surrounding your religion so that i may better understand it.

There are two main types of Satanism.
Traditional: Those would be mainly Setians and Luciferians. They believe in an actual deity and worship like most religions worship.

Modern: They usually go by Laveyan. They do NOT worship any deity because they are Atheists by nature. There are two main types of Modern Satanism.
There is symbolic: They use Satan to simply represent a way of being and living and of self.
Naturalist: They use Satan to represent the darker side of the purely natural world.
I took this from my post on another thread around here since every now and then I get asked about this. If there are any questions you specifically want to know please feel free to ask

Thanks, I dont want to pry into your personal life or anything like that, I just feel that awareness needs to be raised about religions that arent well known, or are misunderstood. I have heard people of no faith at all talk of satanism as something evil, which i never believed, but it seems to be a widely held view

Is King Diamond and the mercyful fates still around making records these days? Last time I saw King Diamond was when he was on an MTV special around 1985. Which brings me to my next question. Is your screen name "Mustainez" a tribute Dave Mustaine the founder of the band megadeth? How did you get into these old bands? What other old bands do you like? Black Sabbath, The Doors, Motorhead, Jimi Hendrix?

Mustainez

Ah, you figured it out! Yes, Megadeth is one of my favorite bands and it is sort of a tribute I guess you could say. I am a fan of heavy metal, but I like Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, Sabbath, and even the Beatles! (imagine that).
