I've a question. It's about the instructions listed in the site on how to dedicate your soul. The prayer listed says "to recognize and honor Him without reservation." Now, I'm not a Demon myself, obviously, but I would be rather of the opinion that this would mean REVEALING we're Satanists to everyone, and openly giving Demons thanks and credit for all good fortune we enjoy in life, instead of just the blanketed, closeted, not very glorious current way I'm doing it (quietly, privately and/or mentally saying "Thank You, name of Demon, "for giving me such and such/doing blah blah for me" and knowing that a particular event and/or break in life is a Demon's working). Unfortunately, I've a sister who has been given executorship of my mother's will, a brother-in-law who I believe has (or could have) undue influence in my life and bosses who are all avid xtians. Yes, I believe that the Father is watching me but I believe that if this coming 26th I were to say "Happy Thanksgiving. I'm a Satanist," or tell this to my boss things at least for a while would be not so great for me and any and all chances of my getting my share of the will would be pretty much nil. Also-I'm a nice guy. I've got friends and relatives who aren't rich. Their faith is all they have. Am I with my powers/direction of energy supposed to purposefully cause confusion and pain in their lives and ruin their lives because they're xtians? They're not the holy roller, 'I'll shove my crap down your throat if it's the last thing I do' kind of xtian. Them I don't care about and I'm glad to trample them with magic. But what of nice, honest, humble people who aren't looking to cause any trouble or proselytize but just live life day to day and to the best they can? What does Satan and the Demons expect of us? Thanks for reading and thanks for responding!
