THE DIFFERANCE IS PRETTY BIG. IN SATANISM YOU ARE YOUR OWN "GOD", AND WHEN YOU WORSHIP THE DEVIL, YOU WORSHIP HIM OR HER OR IT AS THE HIGHEST FORCE, AS A GOD. ALSO, SATAN IN SATANISM ISNT THE SAME AS IN THE WORSHIP OF THE DEVIL. IN SATANISM, SATAN IS PRE-CHRISTIAN, AND COMES FROM THE PAGAN IMAGE OF POWER, SEXUALITY, SENSUALITY, VIRILITY. TO MOST SATANISTS, SATAN IS A FORCE OF NATURE, NOT A GOD. IT HAS NOETHING TO DO WITH HELL OR EVIL, UNLIKE THE SATAN THAT IS WORSHIPED.
DEVIL WORSHIPERS BUILD THERE BELIEFS OFF THE CHRISTIAN BLIEFS, BECAUSE THEY WORSHIP THE EVIL SATAN, THE RULER OF HELL, THE DEVIL IN THE BIBLE. TO SATANISTS THERE IS NO GOD, NO HEAVEN, AND NO HELL. THE ONLY GOD THERE IS, ARE THEMSELVES, AND IF THEY DO BELIEVE IN ANOTHER GOD, IT'S ONE OF THERE OWN PERSIONAL CREATIONS. THERE IS ALSO A DIFFERANCE WHEN IT COMES TO CEREMONIES. DEVIL WORSHIPERS HOLD THEIR CEREMONIES WITH THE PURPOSE TO GAIN POWER FROM THE DEVIL HIMSELF, AND THEY MAKE SACRIFICES. SOMETIMES ITS THERE OWN BLOOD OR AN ANIMAN OR SOMETIMES ITS OTHER THINGS. SATANISTS ON THE OTHER HAND HOLD THEIR CEREMONIES WITH THE PURPOSE TO BUILD AN EMOTIONAL, CONTROLLED ENERGY, ALSO KNOWN AS MAGIC. PEOPLE OFTEN CONFUSE DEVIL WORSHIPERS AND SATANISTS, AND THAT IS ONE MAJOR TO WHY THE SATANISTS HAVE TO PUT UP WITH ALOT OF CRAP THAT THEY DONT REALLY DISEARVE.
THE TRUTH IS THAT PEOPLE OFTEN MISS THE WHOLE MEANING OF SATANISM. SATANISM IS NOT ABOUT BEING SCARY, ITS ABOUT BELIEVEING IN YOURSELF AND NOT OPRESSING THE INSTINCTS THAT YOU WERE BORN WITH AS THE BIBLE TELLS US TO. SO REMEMBER THAT SATANISTS DONT HAVE A GOD SO THEY DONT SACRIFICE ANYONE OR ANYTHING. SO PLEASE DONT BE FRIGHTENED. :-)
