Any Christian comment = trolling.
Hence I've never been a Christian and never will be.
I am an atheist and I thought satanism is a good choice. I've read the bible, and studied the seven rules of earth.
What can i do to officially convert? Note that i can't join any satanist churches.

There's no "official conversion". Either you read the Satanic Bible and say "OK, this philosophy sounds like a reflection of me", or you don't. If you find that it matches your convictions, to the point that you can honestly identify yourself as a "Satanist", then you are one.



Note that the term "LaVeyan Satanist" is a redundancy. They don't use it. They were the first group in history that took up the name "Satanist" for themselves and made an actual, real-life applicable religion called "Satanism", so as far as I'm concerned, they have the title. There's already a different term for people who believe in Satan as an actual deity and worship it: they're called devil worshipers.



And it's 11 rules of the earth, not 7.



>>So I can't officially convert? what can i do then?



If you want to make your "conversion" feel "official", I suppose you could do a ceremony of sorts. "The Satanic Rituals" includes a sample baptism for adults. You could make something out of that.



>>Last time i heard you have to pay 200 $ fee to

>>join church of satan.



You don't have to join the CoS to be a Satanist. They even say this right on the website. But yes, that's what they charge for a lifetime membership. Considering that organizations like the NRA charge $1000 for a lifetime membership, I'd say it's ridiculously cheap. By the way, when you write prices, the dollar sign comes before the number.



I laugh a the people who are stupid enough to believe that the CoS is some money-making scheme. If they wanted to be a money-making scheme, 1) they'd try selling something that had more status quo appeal, and 2) they wouldn't be charging one-time fees.

you do not convert at all, you read the satanic bible and you either already live by that or you simply do not. And you do not have to join a church to be a satanist at all, and MOST Satanists do not and also have no desire to meet other Satanists as it is a self serving religion not a group one

i could answer this yet Matt suggested all of it. i'm going to upload that i think of you're a christian troll who only requested this question to defame Satanism. If not, seek for psychological help particularly of religious conversion.@ there is no element in providing you with an digital mail because of the fact i'm not a psychiatrist. Step faraway from the cat, study the Satanic Bible by potential of Anton LaVey, and hit upon which you have made an exceedingly insulting blunders on your thinking approximately Satanism.

I believe Levy satanism can have "instant conversion" as I also believe Levy said that people were born satanist not made.

I am a Rabbinical student but I studied this as a part of learning about other faiths (as a Jew I found it beyond weird but thats just me).

This link talks about it

Not sure why you would want to live a life that is only seeking self gratification but whatever you want I guess. It takes all kinds

You don't need to go to any church,just read the Satanic Bible.

Anyway if you're wondering the Church of Satan is at California,search it at google.

ignore "Gabriel" and "someone" LOL I mean wow. I am a Christian and even I know Satanism is for atheists who are elite. Read the bible of Satanism and then you will know if it is you or not.

Really? Atheist to atheist.....let me tell you something

Anton LaVey is an embarrasement if he called himself an atheist.

I read his work...It's all cute and fun to read..isn't it?

The Church of Satan and the Satanic Bible is not a religion to convert to..It is just a way of making money.

He is no better than any Christian the way he used his style of Satanism to brainwash non-Christians the same way Christians brainwash people. If atheists can be hypocrites, then LaVey is the best example.



You are an atheist...please be better and smarter than that.

screw yourself french fry. put your hand in the fire since your so tuff. If you read the Bible which part does God say here are no coals to warm your self. True wisdom = life, spiritrual bondage / slavery leads to Horror and pain graciously yours baptised by fire the witness.
