It seems to me that most of the Satanic rules you mention come close to fitting
in with my viewpoint through different means. The question I have, is do
Satanists actually believe there a "Satan" entity, or is it much more abstract
and metaphor bound?
Also, I was under the impression that sacrafices and all that were much
more propaganda or young stunts, than reflections of Satanism. Am I right here.

Also, i didnt think CoV required divulgence of your believ system, though that
info is often discussed here.
