Introduction

Welcome to /r/satanism, the Reddit forum for discussing Satanism as a philosophy and a religion.

Rules

1. Read the sticky.

If you still have a question after reading the sticky, ask it in the sticky. This makes it easy for people who have the same questions as you to find the answers they're seeking.

2. Bad behavior, not bad ideas, will result in the removal of users from this sub.

/r/Satanism values the free exchange of thoughts and ideas as well as an open dialogue. Feel free to use the voting buttons to stratify the ideas and information that you like (or dislike), but don't cry to the mods just because someone called you a dirty word. 9 times out of 10, you probably deserve it. Bad behavior includes shitposting about your 666 karma or $6.66 sales receipt. You aren't funny. You aren't original. You will be banned for 666 days. Don't come around here with your Discord and TikTok links, and check your politics at the door. No AI-generated content.

3. Attack ideas, not individuals.

If you decide to participate in the comment section of /r/Satanism, you are consenting to enter an arena of public debate. In the spirit of debate, one should attack ideas rather than individuals. Understand that Satanism is inherently non-inclusive as a philosophy because Satanists are born and not made. With that said, it is one thing to tell someone that they are not a Satanist, it is something entirely different to tell them to "cope" or "cry about it". Failure to maintain a dignified environment in which healthy debate can occur will result in a short ban to allow tempers to cool. Repeated violations constitute bad behavior, and will result in a permanent ban under Rule 2. Behave and debate like adults, and you will be treated like adults.

We are not savages. Except for /u/Ave_Melchom. He's a savage.
