Satan isn’t a pedo.

I wouldn't hang my hat on this. Satanists have as much a problem with pedophilia as every other branch of the Christian faith.

Shows what you know about Satanists.

Satanists don't believe in Satan. They call themselves Satanists because it annoys the Bible bashes who likes to hide behind religion as an excuse for being terrible people. You know, the types that like to say "we are good Christian conservative god-fearing family" and leave you to fill in the missing pieces.

Satanists advocate being good people and helping each other precisely because there isn't a god to enforce this stuff. Satanists aren't Christian and they don't believe in God.

You are thinking of the Church of Satan.

I'm sure there are many types of satanists.

Kind of doubt it. I feel like satanists have higher morals than christians

Aleister Crowley believed there were three forms of sex magick; autoerotic, heterosexual, and homosexual, (Drury, 2012). He claimed that by performing specific sexual rituals, including sado masochistic sex rituals on young boys, one could achieve financial gains and personal success, (Drury, 2012). For Crowley, the sex rituals were a sacrament and ingesting the fluids from sex and certain biological functions, such as using menstrual blood in rituals, would imbue him with knowledge, power, and success, (Drury, 2012). Certainly, in creating a cult of personality with a devoted following and in being an influencer through many generations, he can be considered successful

Hardly a secret
