What Satanism Really Is:
A few basic concepts of Satanism
Satanists do not necessarily worship "Satan" as "he" is represented in the Christian beliefs. Satanism is more regarded as a concept. Satanism recognizes human beings as another animal, and encourages embracing human nature rather than denying or trying to overcome it. Responsibility to the Responsible is an important concept in Satanism. Satanism discourages self effacing practices and encourages people to defend themselves, and to take responsibility for their own lives and survival, rather than blaming others for their shortcomings.
Myths and facts about Satanism:
Myth: Satanists sacrifice animals/people in their rituals.
Fact: Satanists do not sacrifice anything. Satanism strictly forbids harming any animal except for food or in self defense. From the Eleven Satanic rules of the earth:
" Do not kill non-human animals unless attacked or for your food. "
This was written by Anton Szandor LaVey, Founder of the Church of Satan. The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth can be read in their entirety Here
Myth: Satanists Abuse Children
Fact: Again, from the Eleven Satanic Rules of the earth:
Do not harm little children
Myth: Satanists force people to participate in cult activities
Fact: The Church of Satan is not a "cult",does not force anyone to join and they do not solicit members. Members join of their own free will, and must pay a fee in order to join.
Myth: People have committed crimes in the name of Satan. they have confessed to doing things because they are Satanists, therefore, these things are a part of Satanism
Fact: Satanism does not encourage illegal activities. There may have been cases where someone did something and claimed they did it due to Satanism, however these individuals were not practicing true Satanism. There have also been cases of people claiming to have committed crimes in the names of Christianity and other mainstream religions. It would be illogical to hold all Christians responsible for the actions of a few, and it is equally illogical to hold Satanists responsible for the actions of a few mentally unbalanced individuals who are looking for an excuse for their crimes.

The Bottom Line:
Satanists are just as human as the rest of is. For the most part, they are intelligent, nonmalignant individuals who follow a belief system many do not agree with. It is fine to disagree with their religious beliefs, as you may disagree with any beliefs, but it is not OK to spread rumors, lies and misconceptions. Please educate yourself before you form an opinion and especially before you pass on information that may be incorrect. Those who don't often destroy lives and are far more "evil" in my opinion than those they attempt to persecute.
