Individuality

I get so tired of hearing other people say who can and can't be a Satanist.  I hate to tell these dumb mother fuckers that Satanism does not discriminate and it does not prejudice.  Satanism just simply is.  I hear all the time that if you read certain books, you're not a Satanist.  You listen to certain music, you're not a Satanist.  And here is my favorite one.  You're not a Satanist if you listen to Lady Gaga!! Oh, wait a minute, here's another one.  YOU'RE NOT A SATANIST IF YOU ARE LADY GAGA!! Right there says it all.  Those two statements, let me remind you, is not only discrimination but it is also being prejudice.  Next, we'll be told that we aren't Satanist's because we wear pink underwear.  Oh, and by the way, I wear whatever underwear is convenient.  Sometimes, I don't wear any. I'm sure those who know what I'm talking about gets the picture.

I am a Satanist and yes, I listen to Lady Gaga.  To me, she is my inspiration.  I listen to her music when I'm writing.  I listen to her music when I'm cooking.  I listen to her music when I'm doing housework.  I'm probably the only person in the world who can make cooking and cleaning look fun.  I dance to her music when I'm doing both and I have neighbors looking out of their windows watching me.  I don't give a shit really.  Let them look.  All that matters is that I'm having fun and that I am free to do as I choose.

Satanism, let me remind those who need reminding, is a philosophy to some and a religion to others.  To me, it is both.  Satanism, and I'm going to spell out is, I- N- D- I- V- I-U- A- L- I-T-Y.  It is the philosophy of the self and it is the religion of the self.  It DOES NOT matter who or what you are, what country you are from, what your name is, what you look like, if you have sex or don't have sex, if you're gay, or if you're bisexual.  Satanism just simply is.

From what I've seen of Lady Gaga during her interviews and from a creative aspect, I think she is more of a Satanist than those who say they are.

I can be crazy when I want to be.  Add a few drinks and some really good music and I'm as bad as they get.  That is pretty much when I let my Satanic self or, perhaps, my inner Demon, out of its cage.  Does that mean I am any less of a Satanist?  Hell no!  It just means I choose when and where I decide to let it all hang out and, for, Lady Gaga, it is her stage.
