"What do I care about the rest? - The rest is only humanity. - One must be superior to humanity by strength, by heights of spirit, - by contempt..." - Friedrich Nietzche "It is not the belief in the non-existence of gods that is in question, but the complete absence of this belief. This complete denial of "the certainty of what is expected, the conviction of what is not seen" must come from the Devil himself. If nature is fallen because "sin came into the world", then the instinctive, natural rejection of faith in favour of reason must derive from original sin. It was Eve who first, enlightened by the Serpent, chose knowledge over blind faith. Yahweh God went into a holy rage when He learned that man had chosen Satan's truth over mindless belief in his dogmas. It is Satan who represents knowledge instead of faith; Satan lacks faith in god. Satan is the negation of god, he is the Anti-God. Satanism is the negation of religion, it is anti-religion".
