Re: Кто такой Дьявол?
вот как раз ЛаВей писал о подобном...Originally Posted by Доктор_Ливси
LaVey deemed the Christian church and many other old religions out of date and, in most cases, hypocritical. He stressed the fact that most religions are centred on denying basic human nature, and that most sins in religion are actually needs that all people have and that need to be addressed in order to live a happy life. As an example, LaVey cited the seven deadly sins: greed, pride, envy, anger, sloth gluttony, and lust. A basic condensation of his argument is this:
Greed means that you want more than you already have and envy is liking the possessions of others and wanting the same for yourself. These are the basic components of ambition, and without ambition nothing would ever be accomplished.
Gluttony is eating more than you need to live. If you do this and become obese, pride will counteract gluttony and motivate you to regain an appearance that renews your self-respect. Anyone wearing an article of clothing for anything other than protection from the elements, is guilty of pride, which covers just about everyone not in a third-world country.
Being reluctant to get out of bed in the morning is sloth.
Lust is a main component leading to love and families, and is the second most powerful instinct next to self-preservation.
Self-preservation leads us to anger when we are attacked. We are injured and become angry enough to stop the attacker from hurting us more.
Basically, everyone needs 'sin' to live.
Satanism, as a belief means indulgence instead of abstinence. The way it can be thought of is this: 'Do whatever you need to do to make yourself happy, as long as it doesn't interfere with the happiness of others.'
