Joy of Satan

I understand you are probably playing devil"s advocate. We could say blood is divine and a life-force, and therefore red is also a color of life, like wine and the grapes that grow on de-vine. It"s when we get into the "evil" which you haven"t commented on. The "Evil Eye." It isn"t so much as the goat. Look at any Satanic representation of the theosophy. And mind you, I"ll grant that you have given me points to be considered genuinely, which I supremely appreciate. I get the point you made.It"s all kind of a blur though. It doesn"t seem that there is a reconciliation that can be made here, even with my adamant points. Yes, Humic can be intensly incredible for the body. And it"s black. So no, red and black don"t ALWAYS represent death and bloodshed. Sometimes red and black - represent life. But given that, we need to consider when they are representative of death or life, like I mentioned about green and blue. Even orange can represent nuclear, though it is generally considered to represent nurturing. Blue can represent life-giving water, and also blue can represent sadness. When it is used by Satanists in general, whether they be theistic or athe, we have to use our personal judgement. Purple can represent vanity and also courage. The Purple Heart Trail, IH 35, is a major highway that is supposedly dedicated to heroes, or so I think... So this topic is easy to blur for those who have an agenda to do so, and it should be carefully meditated upon. All things have a balance, a negative, and a positive. Red and black, blue and white, green and orange, purple and yellow" all have both characteristics of positive and negative. It"s the imagery and the messagery associated with colors, that also adds to the picture. Joy of Satan Ministries uses a picture of a goat with horns in black and red. Then it talks about an "Evil Eye" spell. Therefore it"s promoting "evil." And it"s using symbols which were used by the church, to represent itself. And I"ll leave the debate open - to show that the symbols weren"t created by the church. The point I want to make, I"ll be honest, isn"t clear at this point. I just feel that the colors and symbols they use in ALL Satanic philosophical cults, is not "Luciferian" by definition. Actually all sects and cults of Satansim I have come across profess that they represent Truth and Light and so colors are not necessarily the key factor. Symbols on the other hand are more telling. You seem to make the point that the reason theistic Satanists use symbols that Christianity also uses them is because they belong to Satanism and Christianity hijacked them to condemn them. I get that. But the problem is that, and I have considered the cognitive dissonance manipulated into my mind, is that A: Joy Of Satan says they "hate" evil, when they teach how to deliver the "evil" eye. And B: They (as well as ALL so-called Satanists) use reprehensible symbols of death to represent their way of life. I mean there is obviously yes, red and black can mean either life or death. But when you use it to represent what you literally call "evil," and it has a face of a goat with scary red eyes and horns that look like they"re going to screw you". I mean yes horns can represent strenght". Ok it"s getting ridiculous now. What my main point is, look at that face of a goat with horns and blazing red eyes and tell me if you think that represents something good. I guess it all relies on opinion" I don"t know, which is why I"m looking for other"s ideas. When reading Joy of Satan I feel that it"s actually good and right, but when I delve deeper, I feel that it"s wrong.
