In 1966, a man named Anton LaVey took up the ideal of being the sighted man that not only sees but also paints with the colors that a colorblind man could never understand. That is to say he literally used his own insight and systematic understanding of religions as a whole to bring forth his philosophy, his religion, to society.
LaVey knew that some individuals were not content with labeling everything and even less so with being labeled. The internal call to explore the world that they live in, to live with a passion and to not be pigeonholed by man’s religious attempts to remove physical nature, could not be ignored without detrimental psychological effects.
His new religion gave positive recognition to those that have suffered persecution for going against Christian morals and beliefs. Scientists, surgeons, alternative thinkers and enjoyers of consensual sex now had a religion that appreciated each man and woman that was ridiculed by Christianity. Satanism was born.
Satanism is not in any way Devil-worshipping. In fact, the word Satan was chosen for many reasons, but none was for the approval of the worst acts that man could commit to another. Satanism is the acknowledgment of man’s best and worst, and that there is no supreme God that rules you. However, the word does stand for the snubbing of Judaism and their perceived right morals.
As an agent for the Church of Satan, controversial Jack Malebranche- writer, artist and proprietor of www.sataniclust.com – has fielded many questions on Satanism. His magnetic personality and artistic vision is far from what many expect from a Satanist.
Upon the Church of Satan receiving my outlined request for an interview to discuss Satanism in today’s society, Jack Malebranche graciously accepted.
