Regarding the Rules for the Theistic Satanism Blog Network

Apologies to the other Theistics out there that I have no participated much in the Yahoo! groups as of lately.

It is unfortunate that so many rules need to be applied to this blog network, but I suppose when one choosesto discuss something as OMG EVIL as Theistic Satanism, then rules DO need to be applied. We all know thatthis subject attracts some of the most phychotic and intelligent people on the planet and so guidelines must beplaced to prevent the whole bloody thing from collapsing on itself. I am sure that if (hopefully!) this network gets off the ground, that the rules can be updated to changing issues and events although I am very sure that is not going to be a problem.

I saw that a 'free for all' tag was suggested. It seems that a 'free for all' tag would simply inviteflamewars needlessley from people with nothing better to do.
I may have missed the post, but is there still going to be any Yahoo groups active in the event the blognetwork launch is successful?

The development of the new Theistic Satanism Blog Network is definately an interesting new approach for us Satanists to interact with each other - all while being a bit easier on the eyes! I do hope that this experiment is a successful one.

On another note - does anyone have any good advice on how to customize these Blogspot pages a little more? Perhaps some good html templates or something?

Assimilation into the new Theistic Satanism Blog Network

I just wanted to mention that this blog, like most of the blogs entering into the new network are likely very tentative works in progress. The look, format and likely even te topic base of my blog, at least, may change to better suit the aims of the network.

This is the very first post to test thing new blog out. It's purpose is to promote and discuss all things involving Theistic Satanism - a current religious trend heavily influenced by Diane Vera. I do hope that this blog can integrate with other related blogs and we can finally establish a bit of a community that can dispell the massive, and I mean massive movement that tries to paint Satanism in the worst light possible.

I will introduce myself better as time goes on, but I, like I am sure many other Satanists do not look at practitioners of other religions as being 'below' us. I for one, believe that all people and animals are equal and it is not neccessarily up to us to judge them without very good reason! This is quite contrary to the sight we see when we inform someone that we are in fact a Satanist.

A SATANIST?!?!

"You're a Satan worshipper?!"

(and then I love this part)

"WHY?"

What do you mean, WHY?

The purpose of the blog is to show anyone who is interested, that there are other forces out there other than the ones people acknowledge - and they too, are a part of existence.
