What are you agnostic of?

Do you worship Satan?

What are the fundamental tenets, teachings, or core beliefs for Satanism as a system of belief?
@Iwantyourhotwife Of a higher power in general I choose to still believe even though it is unlikely. I use it to empower myself and others. Spirtuality that doesn't claim absolute truth like christians do for example.

I don't think worship is the perfect term but I seek out a relationship to Satan as an inspiring figure.

There is no set belief system because there are many different satanic practices and branches.
I distance myself from the far right and violent branches.

I do like the tenents of the Global order of Satan

1.Self-fulfilment and personal understanding allow us to support ourselves and therefore others.
2.Respect the inviolable body, autonomous will, and sovereign right of every individual to guide their own life and being; remembering that enjoyment of these rights is predicated on respect for the same in others.
3.Science, evidence, reason, and critical thinking should guide our beliefs about our universe. Truly critical thinking can only be achieved by challenging your own preconceptions and opinions, providing a more balanced outlook to help us make better informed decisions.
3.Act with empathy, compassion, and wisdom towards yourself and others.
Justice always takes precedence over laws, institutions, and religious texts, as long as the pursuit of it does not countermand the pillars.
4.All people make mistakes. Allow them to correct those mistakes, as we seek acceptance in others over our own. [/quote]

Satanism taught me that our sins are just part of our human existence and that we can strive to do better and stand strong instead of trembling in fear of God.
It taught me that only through rebellion we can be our true self and embrace who we really are.
It taught me to seek knowledge and wisdom.
It taught me to love ourselves and value no god higher than ourselves and our loved ones and fellow human beings.
Satan represents undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit.
Satan represents man as just another animal who, because of his “divine spiritual and intellectual development,” has become the most vicious animal of all.
Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification.
