That is nothing more then people follwing laVey s lead and trying to redefine a word so that they don t have to bend over backwards daily to explian whow and why they can be Satanists and not believe in a literal Satan and as much as they would like to follow LaVey s dictates that the masses are completely stupid the sad fact of the matter is that the masses are just smart enough to relaize that a real Satanist does believe in a literal Satan the masses may not know more then that about it but their smart enough to realize that anyone cliaming to be a satanist that claims Satan is not a literal being is not the real thing
