The Satanic Bible Ben quotes true /?post_type=quotes&p=6806

8. I break away from all conventions that do not lead to my earthly success and happiness.
I, “The Book of Satan” (p 30)

The Satanist realized that man, and the action and reaction of the universe, is responsible for everything, and doesnt mislead himself into thinking that someone cares.
Positive thinking and positive action addup to results.
Just as the Satanist does not pray to God for assistance, he does not pray for forgiveness for his wrong doings…When a Satanist commits a wrong, he realizes that it is natural to make a mistake—and if he is truly sorry about what he has done, he will learn from it and take care not to do the same thing again.
“_WANTED!:_God—Dead or Alive” (p 41)

Satanism encourages any form of sexual expression you may desire, so long as it hurts no one else. This statement must be qualified, to avoid misinterpretation. By not hurting another, this does not include the unintentional hurt felt by those who might not agree with your views on sex, because of their anxieties regarding sexual morality. Naturally, you should avoid offending others who mean a great deal to you, such as prudish friends and relatives. However, if you earnestly endeavor to escape hurting them, and despite your efforts they accidentally find out, you cannot be held responsible, and therefore should feel no guilt as a result of either your sexual convictions, or their being hurt because of those convictions.
“Satanic Sex” (p 69)

I have taken they name as a part of myself! I live as the beasts of the field, rejoicing in the fleshly life! I favor the just and curse the rotten!
“Invocation to Satan” (p 144)
