Anton Lavey (1930-1997)
Writer of the Satanic Bible {(The Satanic Bible \m/666\m/)}
Read and Download The Satanic Bible written by the founder of the Church of Satan, Anton Szandor LaVey. When people think of The Satanic bible or Satanism they may conjure up images of horror movie clips and crazed devil worshipers. This, however, is not the case with LaVeyan satanism. Anton LaVey's message was that we should embrace our carnal nature as humans instead of turning our back on it because it is considered sinful. His writing of The Satanic Bible was him saying he'd had enough of conformity and was a Slap in the Face to the hypocritical Christians.
Known as the "Black Pope" by many of his followers, Anton LaVey began the road to High Priesthood at only 16 as he was working as an organ player for the carnival....
"On Saturday night I would see men lusting after half-naked girls dancing at
the carnival, and on Sunday morning when I was playing the organ for tentshows evangelists at the other end of the carnival lot, I would see these same men sitting in the pews with their wives and children, asking God to forgive them and purge them of carnal desires. And the next Saturday night they'd be back at the carnival or some other place of indulgence."
"I knew then that the Christian Church thrives on hypocrisy, and that man's
carnal nature wills out!"
-- “Every religion in the world that has destroyed people is based on love”
-- “There is a beast in man that needs to be excersised, not exorcised.”
-- "A friend of mine who was a founding father of the Church of Satan, who later I compared notes with, said when he was a kid, he too managed to get into Sally's Nude Ranch, and in the corral he saw his Sunday school teacher!!! That was a real epiphany for him. From that moment on he was a Satanist.”
-- “It's too bad that stupidity isn't painful.”
--“Do what you want as long as it's paying off for you. But once it's become a liability, then something is wrong and you better find out what it is.”
--“It's like the clock that doesn't work, it's right at least twice a day.”
--“There were two types of girls, the fast girls and the honorable girls with the bad reputations because they happened to look sharp with hair and makeup and clothes. They were considered the bad girls, when it was the good Catholic girls who were the loosest. Appearances were deceptive then.”
My Favorite Quotes from Anton LaVey
From that time early in his life his path was clear. Finally, on the last night of April, 1966 - Walpurgisnacht, the most important festival of the believers in witchcraft - LaVey shaved his head in the tradition of ancient executioners and announced the formation of The Church Of Satan. He had seen the need for a church that would recapture man's body and his carnal desires as objects of celebration....
"Since worship of fleshly things produces pleasure," he said, "there would then be a temple of glorious indulgence..."
