Satanic Amorality

While many would describe Satanism as atheistic or theistic (and disparage any who take the opposite approach), it is to me utterly non-theistic. What I mean by this is, the ultimate value of Satanism is not based upon the literal existence of Satan, so the theistic/atheistic disagreement is entirely without relevance. Abrahamic faiths, placing so much importance upon obedience to a deity presumed to literally exist, are obviously robbed of much merit if this presumption is false. The Satanic amorality, however, in placing supreme importance upon the development of the self, is in no way rendered invalid by a lack of literal external divinity.

This self-focus is, I believe, the central defining factor of a Satanic way of life. In regards to claims to the contrary, ("Satanism is about worshiping Satan"), I would say - if we are simplistic enough to accept the Biblical accounts at face value, why would the opponent of God, who himself promotes unfettered pride and resistence, want blind followers? This sort of worship proposed is, in fact, indistinguishable from that demanded by God. Now, obviously, atheism is emphatically not a logical conclusion to this sort of antinomianism, nor am I saying it is.

So, then, we arrive at a point of absolute irrelevance regarding theism due to amorality - our path of existence is not based upon divine command, thus its value remains in a cosmos bereft of any external divinity. If said divinity does, in fact, exist, we follow the example set by the adversary and bow before none outside ourselves. Our highest goal is our (re)Creation of our Selves, an (internal/infernal) alchemy.
