I saw this topic in the Morality & Religion subforum and thought it might be an interesting one to discuss here. I'll quote the OP from that thread:Nyxacarpenoctum Does anyone else (who is a LaVeyan Satanist) ever feel upset by the limits placed on sharing your belief structure? I'm still in High School and within it I've learned (via the Satanic Witch) that my appearence of the Innocent, Sweet, Responsible girl can pay off. I don't really encourage this view, but I don't disprove it either. However, sometimes I get really upset because I feel if one of my classmates were to profess their christianity or whatever it wouldn't damage their image, but if I where to profess my beliefs it would. Have you had this experience? How did you deal with it?
-Social pressures about our beliefs
-Biased views on different beliefs
-Your feelings on divulging your beliefs to others
-Experiences you've had with this situation

I tell people cause I'm a social outcast so naturally I want them to fear me for when they piss me off I can retaliate to a greater extent

well, i have never seen any reason to hide my beliefs from others. I am proud of who and what i am. having said that, whenever i tell anyone i never come out with the word satanist at first. the first thing i do is to say that i follow the Teachings of Anthon Szander Lavey. i then go on to simply explain to them all that this entails for example that it is a left hand religeon with no god or dieties. then i make a point of explaining to them how the word satan literally translated means opposite or against and explain that this is an opposite religeon and therefor has earned itself the name of satanism. i believe the greatest opposng forces against us is not the catholics, protestants or such-like but devil-worshippers. the people who seriously believe in satan and worship him in several controversial ways (including the infamous sacrifice rituals) these people call themselves satanists. it is this which really besmirches the name of our religeon and causes people all over the world to dislike us or disregard our religeon as a joke at the 1st use of the term satanism. my advice to any laveyan satanist is, explain clearly to people the ins and outs of your religeon before you hit them with the S word.
