SATANISM: SATANS BLOODY TEACHING

Green forests, colorful flowers, gushing waterfalls, majestic high

mountains, yellow prairies, vast seas and many countless other beauties of
nature are incomparable works of art created for humanity. All these
wondrous blessings have been given to the service of human beings to
provide an opportunity for them to give thanks.
But there is also a great enemy who prevents a person from giving
thanks and tries to get him to disobey God by continually deceiving him with
vain promises. This enemy wants man to lead a life of trouble both in this
world and in the world to come, and to accomplish this he will continue his
efforts without ceasing until the end of the world.
This rebellious enemy wants to show people that obscenity, evil,
heartlessness and immorality are all right and to legitimise their existence.
With this purpose in mind, he has formulated dangerous teachings
containing all manner of perverse ideas. This ferocious enemy is Satan, who
was driven out of the presence of God; and his bloody and dangerous
teaching is called Satanism.

SATANS HOSTILITY TO HUMANITY

Satan is your enemy so treat him as an enemy. He summons his
party so they will be among the people of the Searing Blaze.
(Quran, 35: 6)
In the Quran, Satan is a general name for beings who work
unceasingly, day and night, to divert human beings from the way of God,
deceive them with empty promises in order to make them spend their
eternal lives in hell, and who will continue to do so until the last day. The
ancestor and greatest of all the satans was Iblis, who rebelled against God
when Adam was created.
God created Adam and wanted the angels to prostrate themselves
before him. While the angels obeyed Gods command, one entity named Iblis
did not prostrate himself and asserted that he was better than Adam.
Because of this insolent disobedience he was driven out of Gods presence.
In the Quran, God tells of Satans rebellion against Him and his expulsion
from His presence:
We created you and then formed you and then We said to the
angels, Prostrate before Adam, and they prostratedexcept for
Iblis. He was not among those who prostrated. (Quran, 7: 11)

God said, What prevented you from prostrating when I

commanded you to? He Iblis replied, I am better than him. You
created me from fire and You created him from clay. (Quran, 7:
12)
God said, Descend from Heaven. It is not for you to be arrogant
in it. So get out! You are one of the abased. (Quran, 7: 13)
Before leaving Gods presence, he asked for a space of time from God in
which to lead astray human beings, whom he blamed for his expulsion. God
gave him a period of time until the last day.
Iblis said, Grant me a reprieve until the day they are raised up.
(Quran, 7: 14)
God said, You are one of the reprieved. (Quran, 7: 15)
So, Iblis interference with humanity began. God commanded that Iblis
and those who followed him would go to hell. God reveals this in the Quran:
Iblis said, By Your misguidance of me, I will lie in ambush for
them on your straight path. (Quran, 7: 16)
Then I will come at them, from in front of them and behind
them, from their right and from their left. You will not find most
of them thankful. (Quran, 7: 17)
God said, Get out of it, reviled and driven out. As for those of
them who follow you, I will fill up Hell with every one of you.
(Quran, 7: 18)
So, Iblis, expelled from Gods presence, has begun his activities that will
continue until the last day. He has insinuated himself into the lives of human
beings to deceive them and lead them astray. He has secretly put
apprehension in their hearts. He has deceived many and some he has drawn
completely into his own ranks.
Seeing that Satan is an enemy that can so stealthily approach human
beings, it is very important to be aware of him. The first necessity for this is
to recognize Satan. When we look at Satan in order to recognize him, we see
that he has a very strange and mysterious way of thinking. At the foundation
of this way of thinking first seen in Iblis and afterwards passed on to his
followers are arrogance and haughtiness.
On the one hand, Iblis accepts the existence of God and His eternal
power; on the other hand, he disobeys Him. This is a contradictory position
to be in. Even after Iblis calls people to deny God, he says he fears God and
abandons them. God described this in the Quran:
They are like Satan when he says to a human being, Disbelieve,
and then when he disbelieves, says, I wash my hands of you.
Truly I fear God, the Lord of all the worlds. (Quran, 59: 16)

Everyone who rejects what God says in the Quran and makes his own
judgment about things that He has enjoined, regarding the divine command,
as irrelevant, is in the same situation. Like Iblis, these people know that God
exists, but because of their pride and arrogance, they lower themselves to
Satans level.
The strange thing is the position of those who follow Satan, who try
with their endless jealousy and arrogance to draw people into the way that
leads to damnation. Throughout history, perverse individuals who rejected
God and the afterlife have always been those whom Satan has led astray.
They have recognized Satan instead of God and taken his arrogance,
haughtiness and evil as models for themselves.
So, Satanism is the way chosen by those whom Satan has led astray and
have now become his disciples. The state of these individuals is described in
the Quran:
Satan has gained mastery over them and made them forget the
remembrance of God. Such people are the party of Satan. No
indeed! It is the party of Satan who are the losers. (Quran, 58:
19)
Next we will take a look at the history of Satanismthe history of the
dark road to hell.
THE DARK HISTORY OF SATANISM
Satanism can briefly be defined as the worship of Satan and taking him
as a god. This perverse movement that rejects God, all religions and
religious values and makes it a rule to practice things regarded by religion
as sinful, accepts Satan, the representative of evil, as a lord and guide.
Satanists have existed and practiced their deceitful activities in every period
of history and in every culture from ancient Egypt to ancient Greece, and
from the Middle Ages to the present day.
Between the 14th and 16th centuries, sorcerers and those who had
turned their backs on religion both worshipped Satan. After the 1880s, in
France, England, Germany as well as in other countries of Europe and in
America, Satanism became organized and spread among those looking for
alternative religions and beliefs. The worship of Satan has continued to exist
since the 19th century, first as traditional Satanism and later in smaller
perverse sects that split off from it. The savage rites performed by sorcerers
and godless individuals, the sacrifice of children and adults to Satan, the
celebration of the Black Mass and other ceremonies of traditional Satanism
have been passed down secretly from generation to generation.
The most important symbol of traditional Satanism was the ancient
Roman god Baphomet. In time, Baphomet became the symbol of those who

worshipped Satan. Historians tracing the provenance of this goat-headed

figure have discovered some important clues about Satanist activities.
The second most important Satanist symbol is the pentagram, a fivepointed star inscribed within a circle. It is interesting that there were two
other secret organizations besides the Satanists that adopted Baphomet and
the pentagram as symbols. The first of these organizations was the Templar
Knights of Jerusalem, an order that was accused by the Catholic Church of
worshipping Satan and disbanded in 1311. The other organization is the
Masons who have aroused curiosity for years with their secrecy and strange
rites.
Many historians who have investigated the matter believe that there is
a relationship between the Templar Knights of Jerusalem and the Masons. In
their opinion, these two groups were a continuation of one another. After the
Templar Knights of Jerusalem were banned by the Church, the organization
continued its existence in secrecy and finally turned into Masonry.
What is certain about Freemasonry is that it is a secretive and very
hierarchical organization with members all over the world. Accounts given
by authors such as Leo Taxil, who were once Masons but left the
organization, say that Masons treat Baphomet with great reverence and
conduct ceremonies that resemble rituals of Satanic worship. Another fact
that arouses suspicion is that many Satanists over time have become
members of the Masonic organization.
Today, Satanism has left its secret rituals and lodges and flowed into the
streets. Satanists work concertedly in every country disseminating their
intense propaganda in books, periodicals and especially on the Internet in
their attempts to gain members.
No matter in what country they may be, Satanists display a common
image. Their style of dress, ways of worship, the similarity of the suicide
notes they leave behind and other such details show that Satanism is not an
ordinary movement full of good-for-nothings but an organization based
deliberately on ideological foundations.
THE CHURCH OF SATAN
Although the existence of Satan worshippers has been known for years,
no one ever came forward to admit openly that they were Satanists.
Satanism first became an open and organized movement in the 1960s in the
US. On April 30 1966, the Church of Satan was formed in California. The
founder of this strange church was a Satanist by the name of Anton Szandor
LaVey who proclaimed himself high priest. Known as the Black Pope, Lavey
wrote books in which he formulated his views on the Church of Satan. The
titles of the books are frightening: The Satanic Bible, The Satanic Rituals,
The Satanic Witch, the Devils Notebook and Satan Speaks

LaVey died in 1997. It is estimated that the Church of Satan has about
10 thousand members in North America and, despite many lawsuits, its
activities and ceremonies continue.
SATANISM AND MATERIALISM
A noticeable characteristic of present-day Satanists is that they are all
atheists. At the same time they are materialists, that is, they believe only in
the existence of matter. They deny the existence of God and of all
metaphysical beings.
Satanists do not, therefore, believe in Satan as a real being. Despite
being called Satan worshippers, they do not accept the existence of Satan.
For Satanists, Satan is only a symbol that expresses their hostility to religion
and their hard heartedness.
In a document entitled An Introduction to Satanism published by the
Church of Satan, it is stated that Satanists are actually atheists:
Satanism is an atheist religion like Buddhism. Nothing to answer to
other than the consequences of our actions. Satanists do not believe in
the existence of God, Angels, Heaven or Hell, The Devil, Satan, Evil
Spirits, Good Spirits, Tooth fairies or Demons. Satanism is atheistic
Autodeistswe worship ourselves. Satanism is materialistic
Satanism is the unreligion. (Vexen Crabtree, A Description of
Satanism)
In short, it is actually a product of the atheist and materialist philosophy
that has been spreading in the 19th century. Like this philosophy, Satanism
bases itself on a supposedly scientific theory: Darwins Theory of Evolution.
THE CONNECTION BETWEEN SATANISM AND DARWINISM
An article entitled Feared Religion published by the Church of Satan,
the meaning that Satan has for Satanists is described as follows:
Satan is a symbol of Man living as his prideful, carnal nature dictates.
(Peter H. Gilmore, Satanism: The Feared Religion, Merrimac Books,
1992)
The expression mans carnal nature actually describes the essence of
Satanism. Satanists believe that a human being is basically a wild animal.
This tenet of their faith is strongly emphasized in Satanist literature.
For example, the Church of Satan repeatedly uses the term carnal
beast to refer to a human being. This point of view is at the basis of the
Satanist tendency to savagery. For example, Satanists regard assault,
bloodshed or rape as right because for them, this is the natural behavior of

wild animals. For Satanists, a human being is a wild animal that lives
according to its appetite, which is what he must do.
So, where did the Satanists get this belief from? There is only one
answer to this question: Darwins Theory of Evolution
The document entitled A Description of Satanism published by the
Church of Satan says on this topic:
All people and animals share a common source in mere biology.
Satanism is the belief that Humans are nothing more than higher
animalswe have no special place in creation other than being lucky to
have evolved and survived. (Vexen Crabtree, A Description of
Satanism)
The same claim made in Satanist documents can be found in books by
many well-known evolutionists who blindly support Darwinism and call
themselves scientists. The world views of Satanists and Darwinists are the
same.
Dr. Roald E. Kristiansen, who wrote a doctoral thesis on Satanism,
describes this dark religion as follows:
Satanism can be considered as a form of social Darwinistic "religion"
which seeks to promote the rights of the strongest to dominate the
weaker because that is the way in which humanity will advance as a
biological species and thereby take care of its role at the spearhead of
natural and social evolution. (Roald E. Kristiansen, A Study of Satanism
on the Internet in the 1990s)
Satanists take the slogan of the Theory of Evolution that man is an
advanced animal as the basis of their philosophy and they long to establish
a world in which human beings live and behave as animals. The basic law of
this world they imagine is the principle of Social Darwinism, that is, the
survival of the fittest.
THE BLOODY ALLIANCE BETWEEN FASCISM AND SATANISM
Another dark relationship Satanists have is with fascist ideology. It is
known that fascism bases its basic philosophy on Social Darwinism.
According to fascism, the world is an arena of a conflict and a fight for life
among the various races. For fascists, bloodshed, war and causing pain to
other people are both a sacred duty and a source of pleasure.
Another point in common between Fascism and Satanism is their
admiration for the 19th century atheist and anti-religious philosopher
Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsches writings are filled with hatred for
monotheistic religions; he called himself the Anti-Christ and went insane
before he died. In his writings he attacked the moral virtues of love,

compassion and mercy and held that, in their place, the world should be
ruled by brute force and those who had power should exercise that rule.
Today, Satanists and Neo-Nazis are united in their admiration for
Nietzsche. They also cooperate with one another. Two priests of the Church
of Satan, Anton Lavey and Blanche Barton, gave an interesting answer when
asked about the connection between them and the Fascist organization:
Anton LaVey: "It's an unholy alliance. Many different types of such
people have made contact with us in the past. The anti-Christian
strength of National Socialist Germany is part of the appeal to
Sataniststhe drama, the lighting, the choreography with which they
moved millions of people."
Blanche Barton: "Aesthetics more than anything else are the common
ground between Satanism and fascism. The aesthetics of National
Socialism and Satanism dovetail."
(From the book Lords of Chaos by Michael Moynihan and Didrik
Soderlind)
This esthetic referred to by Barton is actually nothing more than the
ugliness and repulsiveness reflected by the spiritual condition of these two
dark ideologies.
HORRIFIC SATANIST MUSIC
One of the best examples of the Satanist understanding of esthetics can
be seen in concerts and video clips by Heavy Metal groups that have
adopted this philosophy. For example, one of the best-known Satanist-Fascist
music groups, Cradle of Filth, always bases its themes on filth, repulsion
and darkness. The groups video clips are recorded in dank dark places
whose floors are covered with mud and tar and whose walls drip with blood
and filth. The group members put repulsive and frightening make-up on
their faces and wear clothes redolent of filth and homosexuality.
In their concerts the group insult religion, members of the audience
tear up religious books and the groups soloist, Marilyn Manson, suggests to
his fans that they assault their own families, society and religious
institutions.
In 1995, when asked in an interview what he thought about evolution,
he replied:
I tend to believe in Social Darwinism, so I believe the evolution of
society. I guess I believe, to a certain degree, the Darwin Theory I'm
not, however, open to the idea of Genesis and Creationism. It doesn't
work for me." (An Interview with Marilyn Manson at the Capitol
Ballroom, Washington, D.C., November 9, 1995)

It is obvious that the philosophy that drives people to become Satanists

is atheism, and the theory it is rooted in is Darwins Theory of Evolution.
This outmoded theory that defines human beings as a collection of animals
is the greatest cause of the rapid spread of Satanism throughout the world.
It is important that we learn from this. Those who wonder how Satanism
could spread among high school students in various countries of the world
should have a look at high school text books of those countries. They will see
that Darwins theory of Evolution, the greatest support for Satanism, is
imposed on the children in these books.
CONCLUSION
As we have seen in this film, the starting point of Satanism is when
people distance themselves from religion. Religion enjoins people to follow
the way of God who created them and this way requires love, tolerance,
compassion, mercy and self-sacrifice. Those who deny God and consider
themselves to be idle wild animals will be aggressive, selfish and without
pity. And for a person who espouses this ugly morality, it is enough for him
to fall under the influence of Satanisms mystical atmosphere to become a
Satanist.
For this reason we know that the struggle against Satanism is really a
struggle of ideas. The way to protect young people from this perverted
ideology is to teach them about Gods existence and about the truth and
beauty of religion. And this will refute the atheist, materialist philosophies
that alienate them from religion and save them from deceptions such as
Darwinism.
In the Quran, God reveals that Satan and his teachings will have no
influence over those who sincerely believe:
He has no authority over those who believe and put their trust in
their Lord. (Quran, 16: 99)
He only has authority over those who take him as a friend and
associate others with God. (Quran, 16: 100)
Satanists should know that Satan is deceiving them. And it changes
nothing whether Satanists see him as a symbol or believe him to be real.
Through his nonsensical and illogical teaching, Satan is leading many people
to destruction. And when people are raised from the dead on the last day to
account for their deeds, Satan will reject his foolish followers and abandon
them. God states this fact in a verse of the Quran:
When the affair is decided Satan will say, God made you a
promise, a promise of truth, and I made you a promise but broke
my promise. I had no authority over you, except that I called you
and you responded to me. Do not, therefore, blame me but blame
yourselves. I cannot come to your aid nor you to mine. I reject

the way you associated me with God before. The wrongdoers will
have a painful punishment. (Quran, 14: 22)
